5 things I did last week Musk
1. Successfully asked you to rehire 300 nuclear & avian flu workers you “accidentally” fired
2. Pressed you to pay attention to rising household costs
3. Stood up for vets
4. Fought against your tax cuts for the rich
5. Stood with 🇺🇦 instead of🇷🇺

Just had this conversation with my husband this morning in regards to TX AG Ken Paxton. He’s suing our school district for a second time for not caving to banning books & allowing students to be who they are. He’s the head law enforcement. Who’s going to stop him? We’ll keep fighting but still.
