Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

When the president, on every issue, says that he will decide what he is allowed to do under the Constitution and nobody else, every appointee and member of his party obeys because they are either corrupt or afraid of him, and SCOTUS has given him immunity, you have an autocracy.

Sure, Trump broke the law by firing inspector generals without 30 days’ notice.

But here’s the bigger issue: inspector generals find fraud, waste, and abuse, saving taxpayers money. This wasn’t for the people—it was done to cut off checks and balances for Trump’s corrupt administration.

I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means.

A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose their medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time.

To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

Trump promised to “rapidly drive prices down” starting on Day 1 to “make America affordable again.”

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform.

Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ?

Their greed is our opportunity.
It is not free speech when Trump aligned oligarchs have their thumbs on the algorithms of all the social media apps.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

BREAKING: Republicans pushing Trump to ELIMINATE the IRS's Direct File program -- which allows you to file your taxes online for FREE

Why would anyone want to get rid of that?

Because giant corporates like H&R Block and Intuit (Turbotax) want to make you PAY MORE TO THEM

Let the person with the cranky children go ahead of you in the checkout line. Help someone get something off the top or bottom shelf. Pick up litter. Move a fallen branch off a sidewalk. I have been on both sides of these so I *know* small things can make a big difference.
