I love that badass Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has absolutely no fucks to give. She will lay the facts out and doesn’t mince words, she also doesn’t give in to political pressure to stay quiet. National treasure.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

We have only been buying essentials (food) since Jan 20. Opting to do without things we may have bought on a whim in 2024.

And when we do buy anything we can get from a local shop or manufacturer instead of Amazon we will. Even if it’s more expensive or will take longer to get delivered.
Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

Each of us has a social sphere of influence. Your friend, coworker, barista, yoga friend, dentist - truly anyone. Ask them what they think. Don’t you want to know if they’re ok with authoritarianism or not?

Maybe you’ll get lucky and help inspire another resister…

You know, social media sucks and all, but I am very tired of all this doomer shit I'm seeing everywhere that's like "oh well can't counter social media misinformation, it's too hard, the world is over"

Bad guy domination of mass media is not historically unprecedented. Go build relationships

Every day they claim they're finding vast amounts of fraud in the federal government.

Fraud is a crime.

They've made zero criminal complaints.

Odd.

The largest theft in the history of the world is happening right in front of our faces. He’s violated so many laws & regulations - and all of this is his personal temper tantrum. This man is robbing this country blind, and destroying it in the process. PROTEST until this chaos ends!!
