A win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked a major reorganization of the Department of Health and Human Services, ruling that the mass firings and structural changes violated the law.

The US spends almost twice as much per capita on health care as any other nation. Yet 85 million Americans are uninsured or under-insured and 68,000 die each year because they can’t afford a doctor.
Health care must be a human right, not a privilege. We need Medicare for All.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Odd how the turns have tabled… Trump reversed course and admitted that Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine. International news sources and independent media have stepped up to keep Americans informed.

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.

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

Trump on Tuesday night: Promises not to cut Medicaid.
Trump on Wednesday morning: Endorses a GOP plan to cut Medicaid.
You know who’s on track to pay the price for this broken promise? Your grandma in her nursing home.

Public education is the backbone of American democracy.
In the richest country in the history of the world, we cannot abandon our teachers and our public schools.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Lots of people are joining the Musk boycott. Across the country, Americans are protesting at Tesla showrooms, even taking free test drives just to waste the company’s time.
