The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country.

It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.

A digital graphic with the quote "IT'S GO TIME" at the top center in large bold white text with blue quotation marks on either side. Below in smaller white text is the quote attribution: “UU Rev. Laura Randall, a Pink Haven co-coordinator." On the left side of the image, white text reads: "Support the thriving of trans, two-spirit, and gender-expansive people. Contribute to the Pink Haven Coalition." Beneath this text is a magenta button-shaped banner with white text that says "Learn More & Donate." Below it, another magenta text box contains the URL "http://bit.ly/pink-haven " in white letters. On the right side of the graphic, there is a photograph of a hand holding a flag in the colors of the transgender pride flag (light blue, pink, and white). Written on the flag in black marker is the phrase "TRANS PEOPLE TO THE FRONT." At the bottom right corner, there is a Unitarian Universalist Association flaming chalice logo in rainbow colors.

BREAKING: No more free water at Starbucks, no more free restroom use, and no more hanging out in the lobby unless you're buying something.

Workers and customers are getting nickeled and dimed by company that pays its celebrity CEO $57,000 AN HOUR. 🧵

The mainstream media may not discuss it, but here's the fact:

Three people —Musk, Bezos & Zuckerberg — now own more wealth than the bottom half of American society.

A handful of corporations control what is produced & the prices we pay.

Capitalism is broken.

HR28—the federal ban on trans athletes—is expected to get a vote in congress TODAY.

it's the GOP's first step to making it a crime to exist as a trans person in public. that's not an exaggeration—they brag about it on the news.

tap into the quote for info & resources. *please* call your reps.

American workers are more than 400% more productive than they were in the 1940s.

But all of the economic gains are going straight to the top.

Workers deserve more.

It’s time for a 32-hour work week with no loss in pay.

I hope more of my family and friends migrate over. I made a post about leaving fb but I bet no one I care about saw it.

We don’t have to choose this fate. But I fear we will.
User "Annie Wu" says "this tweet is my Roman Empire," along with a screenshot of tweet from @PerthshireMags that reads, "climate change will manifest as a series of disasters as viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it."

A reminder that Los Angeles had its hottest summer in history last year. Southern California has received just 2% of "normal" rainfall during the current "rainy" season.

These fires are a direct result of a warming & drying atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels.

We are in a climate emergency.
