β€œLast March, 2employees from Musk’s DOGE arrived at National Endowment for the Humanities w/ mandate of canceling previously approved grants that ran afoul of Trump’s anti-DEI agenda.

But instead of looking closely at funded projects, they pulled short summaries off the internet & fed them into AI”

I will say it again: There are no moderate Republicans. There are just proud MAGA and sacred MAGA. The scared ones leave. The proud ones stay.

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.

We need 1,000 people to give $1 today to #FeedMinneapolis.

Make it $10 if you can.

Or give the cost of a bag of groceries or a dinner out β€” and help us reach more families right now.

Chip in below. Families in the Minneapolis area are counting on us.

Why is Trump wearing that stupid baseball cap at the solemn return of US soldiers killed in Kuwait? Isn’t this the same administration that berated Zelensky for not wearing a suit to the Oval?

When one person stands up, that single spark has the power to ignite an entire movement.

Choose courage. Choose unity. Your voice, your actions, and your presence matter more than you realize.

100 spots taken. 50 left remaining. I will vet those that follow and repost. We need to keep connecting. Most of these people helped spread the boycott guide today. The next 50 reposters here will be vetted (but go back on my timeline and help spread the boycott, too, ok?)

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Nothing says β€œLOVE FOR OUR TROOPS” like seeing the orange felon wearing one of his trashy propaganda MAGA baseball caps during the dignified transfer of the 6 soldiers that he and his regime murdered senselessly. Disrespectful and disgraceful but in no way surprising.
