Ha! After letting ICE into their stores and then standing by while ICE dragged employees and customers from their stores, NOW the CEO has been moved to speak up. This CEO is a disgrace. Boycott Target! As if you need yet another reason to do so. #boycottTarget

(D-NC) Don Davis voted to sustain the $10B in additional ICE funding. His district was gerrymandered out from under him and he has no primary opponent. He thinks this is a good idea politically. We need to let him know this is indefensible. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Our institutions have failed - they’re not slowing the progress of authoritarians. Resistance is ACTION & WE are the resistance. Refusing to resist is collaboration w/ authoritarians. Power isn’t absolute - it always struggles to maintain. Resistance is the currency of authoritarian collapse.

The toughest lesson in resistance history is the one people least want to hear: Institutions won't save us, opposition isn't enough, and authoritarianism doesn't have a stopping point. Be an optimist ...

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

Musk started this attack on the federal workforce. That was somewhat rebuffed by the courts as unlawful. Now the sinister attack sets in. Funny, I don't recall FOTUS lecturing us about the "bloated, corrupt federal bureaucracy" on the campaign trail. Guess it slipped his feeble mind.

3 million low-income North Carolinians, including hundreds of thousands of its children, are covered by Medicaid when they need to see a doctor. But on Tuesday, 10 of NC's members of Congress voted to gut Medicaid anyway and eliminate that coverage from thousands of their own constituents.

Rest in power Elisa Rae Shupe! A retired United States Army soldier who became the first person in the US to obtain legal recognition of a non-binary gender (2016). She was found, hanging in the parking deck of a VA medical facility. She was complicated - her suicide note is a must read.

Here are a just a few ways USAID helps to promote US interests in humanity internationally. youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8?...

What Musk claims about USAID is untrue and not factual. Americans buy into the misinformation about waste and abuse because it suits their “America First” narrative. But the benefits of USAID are real and tangible.

Claims about USAID funding are spreading online. Many are not based on facts

False and misleading social media posts are circulating online as the Trump administration moves to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development.

I think we might know where all the missing Dem ballots went This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers 2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....

If he wants $137K for an “emergency paint job” he should go live in private housing and pay for it himself. That money should be used for support and maintenance our troops. If he wants to live in military housing, he should find the $$ to improve housing for all the troops.
