Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...

Before anyone falls all the way to "obeying in advance," folk are vulnerable to minimizing, slight of hand, empathy drift, denial, keeping our head down, "picking our battles carefully" so we never actually pick one, or zoning out w/ 40 hours of Ted Lasso.
Find your people. Be accountable.

A reminder that we must resist the myth that if we hide, we will be safe.

It doesn't work that way. Fascism won't ignore us if we're quiet.

We (USAmericans) must tell the truth regardless of safety. Some of us already know this. Your privilege won't continue to protect you.
