DOGE is inflating its savings claims. DOGE counts fully paid contracts as “savings.”
Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service says it has saved $55 billion by cutting jobs, canceling contracts, and renegotiating leases. But a closer look suggests that number is misleading.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Needed this so much right now. I just called out the fact that Kendrick Lamar carried that red, white, and blue theme through. He owned it!
My fam knew what that meant.

Yes everything is very bad, generally, but it is not the time to recoil from caring about others. I know it may seem easier to expend less energy but it won’t make the sadness go away. The feeling of seeing something improve and knowing you helped actually gives you more energy to fight.

I have norovirus and can confirm I have genuinely, never in my entire life been so fucking sick. I couldn’t stop puking. Medically dehydrated. I feel like at one point I was close to death. I wouldn’t wish this pain and illness on anyone.
