A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Journalists. Elected representatives. Everyone. Stop calling the radical extremist fascist-enabling justices on SCOTUS "conservative." They are NO LONGER conservative. Please stop using the word that makes them sound reasonable and, you know, conservative.

This is INEXCUSABLE! America! Are We Going To Stand Down & Watch Innocent People Be Snatched Up On The Street? At What Point Do WE CALL BULLSHIT on this claim of supporting Hamas? Supporting the Palestinian People & Opposing Genocide is NOT: 1)Supporting Hamas 2)Anti-Jew IT IS CALLED HUMANITY

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

Elon Musk has no authority to send emails to federal workers asking them to justify their jobs (days after he wields a chainsaw on a stage...hello?) He has no authority to fire or threaten anyone. Call your reps and tell them Elon Musk must be fired. 202-224-3121

They want the elderly and disabled to die… then they steal the assets and make themselves even richer… with our money that they can never even spend because they already have too much

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

This Friday, February 28th there is a mass blackout on spending. Purchase nothing. Stay off the internet, turn off your TV. Support local small businesses on that day with CASH only…

Please do this! Especially if your reps are Republicans

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

All I can say is that the trans folks I have known and worked with are some of the bravest, smartest, most gifted people that I’ve had the pleasure to know. And I will not accept taking their humanity and existence away.

To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

theverge.comThe FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him outFAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

Each time you see a targeted ad, your personal data has just been exposed to thousands of advertisers & data brokers through a process called "real-time bidding" (RTB). This lets data brokers harvest & monetize your online activity, which fuels government surveillance. 🧵(1/11)

Get ready. Trump is going to fire most of the VA workforce, 70% of which are Veterans, then to "fix" the problems he created, he's going to privatize the VA and send our veterans to expensive, shitty corporate health mills after he slashes health benefits so he and his buddies can get richer.

This is terrifying

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

Ford and Mondale’s sons reading their father’s powerful eulogies at Jimmy Carter’s funeral is a sharp rebuke to the felon-elect sitting in the second row. A reminder of what a President could be; of what a great man can do; of how a true believer in Jesus lives a life.
