Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called the lack of healthy food options on Native reservations a “genocide.”
But the Trump administration ended a program that helped provide fresh, locally produced food for tribal food banks, saying the program no longer aligned with its priorities.

I saw a version of this on here before but it's worth yelling: these institutions that Musk is illegally dismantling– the weather service, health system, climate & energy research, international aid, maybe the US mail(?)– they don't belong to him, they belong to us. We invested in them. They're ours

Trump: "What it was, we believe, is somebody that was on the line with permission, somebody that worked with Mike Waltz at a lower level, had Goldberg's number or call through the app, and somehow this guy ended up on the call."

The very idea of a registry of infant suppliers—of breeders for baby buyers—is fascism.
Coercing people to relinquish to strangers the children they were forced to give birth to does not redress the injustice of forcing births; it compounds the injustice.

A Missouri Representative has filed a bill to track pregnancies in the state.
HB 807 will: "Maintain a central registry of each expectant mother who is at risk for seeking an abortion of her unborn child and make the same available to a prospective adoptive parent who has completed screenings."

Musk. Owns. Trump.
Trump sold Musk the functions of the Presidency; in return, Musk spent $250M to ensure Trump won instead of dying in prison.
Trump just licenses his name to the deal: POTUS in name only.

A lot of people on here keep fantasizing about the moment Trump "fires" Elon Musk because Musk has stepped out too far in front of him and I'm sure that feels good, but after watching the last Musk/Trump presser I think it's worth considering that we are essentially watching a coup via elder abuse.

Removing access to taxpayer-funded data showing that climate change is accelerating will not, in fact, stop climate change
The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
