While rejecting Trump’s complaint that violence against Elon is worse than the felons he pardoned for the deadly Jan 6 attack, I strongly condemn violence/vandalism in Austin or elsewhere against Musk. This only distracts from the real harm DOGE is inflicting and the efficiency it fails to achieve.

If Republicans cut $880 billion from Medicaid:

- Millions of children will lose their health care.

- Funding for community health centers will dry up.

- Your mom and dad may not be able to get the nursing home care they need.

That's what happens when Musk runs the government.

For the record, do I think a one-day boycott is going to make much of an economic impact? No. Do I think that a sort of "Baby's First Boycott," performative though it is, might be useful to make some folks aware of the impact of their economic power, and how it might be wielded politically? Maybe.

Productive gathering with neighbors discussing my work in Congress opposing tyrannical Trump/Musk actions and the abandonment of the middle class in the Republican budget, which would greatly expand the national debt and cut vital services solely to provide more billionaire tax breaks.
