I wish the USA had a president like Zelenskyy instead of a fascist orange shit stain with tiny hands.

You know what to do.
Hey everyone -- Moms of Liberty and Dept of Education launched a snitch line portal today to rat out teachers and anyone promoting anything DEI.

FLOOD THE PORTAL

Spam the hell out of it.

Pass it on! It works!

Wait… wasn’t there an ad about how Trump was going to “protect women”?

I’m sure Tate will have a cabinet position once he arrives in the US.

Fuck these ghouls.
BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.

A pack of 250 Avery mailing labels is $18. That's 7.2 cents per label and 250 little stickers you can write/print a message on and slap around town. (Don't be a jerk though.)

Ideas:
NO KINGS

TRUMP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU

DIVEST FROM TESLA

DEIA MATTERS

TRANS LIVES MATTER

You get the idea.

I think this needs to be written in crayon in order for maga to understand it. 🫠
Democratic House Rep. Tom Suozzi:

"I have a very simple message, it shouldn't be necessary, but we have to be very clear: Putin is a dictator. Zelenskyy is not."

Boom!

The end result of this is trans people can't travel to the USA without the risk of being permanently banned from entering the USA on grounds of "gender fraud".

Already know trans folks in high tech fields who will be cancelling plans to give talks in America.

I really hope lawsuits start pouring in against Trump and Musk. Their fuckery combined with their stupidity is going to kill more people.
What could go wrong.. 😑

Europe is more united than ever, ironically thanks to Trump who tried to intimidate the entire continent and force Ukraine to surrender. Zelenskyy stood his ground. #StandwithUkraine

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

So many things in life are uncertain right now. I know I’m not alone when I say this, but I am honestly not sure what will happen with my job.

If you know of any openings for data analysts, epidemiologists etc - please let me know.

I’m also an epidemiologist. The next four years are going to be a nightmare. I’m afraid it may be worse than Covid considering the federal government is dismantling infrastructure, reducing staff, and freezing grant money. 🫠

There is no end to their cruelty.
Hearing that the DOGE chaos hurricane is hitting HUD soon, and the plan is to devastate federal housing funding. Let's be clear: this would cause a cascade of catastrophic impacts nationwide, shutting down housing and dumping families into the street.

Scary times
Many of you have seen Trump's post. This is dangerous:
1. Dictators talk like this.
2. The traitors on J6 can justify their actions as saving the country.
3. Future violence is justified for the same reason.
