Trump has begun demolishing part of the East Wing to make way for a ballroom reportedly without full approvals or public oversight. This is a theft of a national treasure &must be stopped. Call your reps , demand investigations, & protect historic public property. #OversightNow #PublicNotPrivate

Privatization makes things worse. Look at air traffic control in Canada or space exploration in the USA. Privatization doesn’t save money or deliver better services. It makes profits for shareholders.

Water, electricity, transportation services, and healthcare should be public not private goods.

You’re absolutely right—it’s terrifying. Forcing people onto a private, for-profit platform to access public benefits is a massive breach of trust. If this stands, it opens the door for privatizing everything. We can’t let it happen. #HandsOffOurBenefits #PublicNotPrivate #StopTheGrift

Pete Hegseth wants to privatize VA healthcare, shifting care for veterans to private sectors. It may sound good on paper, but private systems are often ill-prepared for the needs of veterans. VA employs specialized staff and has built programs specifically for these issues. #publicnotprivate
