It’s almost like President Elon and his sidekick Donald have no idea what they’re doing.
US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more.

- Food stranded in Houston
- Aid stopped in transit.
The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

We have to do three things right now, 1) block bad Trump admin actions, 2) build an opposition party that will win elections, 3) help people who need it. If an activism idea doesn’t do one of those, it’s not a good one.

For folks who say, "Why should I even bother calling my Democratic Senator? They'll vote the right way..."
I need you to understand that when Dem electeds try to justify why they're cowering in terror from Trump right now, the VERY FIRST THING THEY CITE is:
"no one's calling my office"
