The robot vacuum works because I have to clean my house before I can run it. If I don’t, it tangles on things and can’t access all of the floor.

Imagine that, an agency that was already finding government waste and saving billions of dollars, not just going after departments that were investigating Musk's companies or headed by the paranoid president's perceived enemies. #StopMusk #SaveOurDemocracy
Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I remember learning that this was going to happen, during my undergrad, well, a long time ago...
It's here. It's happening. The Arctic is melting and all of that permafrost-buried CO2 and methane is going up, up, up.

A third of the Arctic’s vast carbon sink now a source of emissions, study reveals.
Critical CO2 stores held in permafrost are being released as the landscape changes with global heating, report shows.

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning.
I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism.
I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.

The People’s March is moving through the streets of Washington: “We won’t go back!”
A broad coalition of activists — among them climate, women’s rights, immigration, anti-war, LGBT, D.C. statehood, racial justice — are mobilizing in unison against Trump, three days before his inauguration. 🧵
