I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

🚨 The Trump admin just took its most extreme step yet in rolling back climate protections. We must fight back to protect people & the places we love!!!

Join me in demanding the @EPA do its job & follow the science, not the agenda of the corporate polluters share.sierraclub.org/s/GEWfedLW
Take action here!

@chaninicholas.bsky.social hi! Big fan! ✨ I use your app every week and listen to your astrology of the week ahead religiously. For your Ask Me Anything segment, are you able to talk about how one might become an astrologer? Do you recommend going to a school/program or doing self study? Thank you 🖤

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US.

It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world.

The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy.

The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

This is how it’s done.
Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws

Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.

Gov Mills: See you in court

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
