I don’t understand what sort of brokenness a person must contain to not want everyone to at least have their basic needs met. Our tribal ancestors solved this problem ten thousand years ago. How have we let them take this from us?

A private citizen is invading and shutting down government departments. The courts and Congress are awol.

If this isn’t a constitutional crisis, and oligarchy gone wild, then I don’t know what is.

Residents have mobilized outside the Office of Personnel Management in DC in protest against Musk’s government takeover.

Per one person present, they’ve blocked four people believed to be non-government Musk cronies from unlawfully entering the building.

My mentor had a great idea re: grocery prices and tariffs. Buy directly from Black farmers. Most will ship directly to you, and this index will show you a list of Black farmers by region: https://t.co/wlMZic74jT

A SECOND PLANE HAS CRASHED after Trump FROZE hiring air traffic controllers, FIRED hundreds of FAA workers and Elon AXED the TSA chief. Anti-government fundamentalism and deregulation is destroying America.

This is disqualifying. Full stop.

[Steve Martin @UnrealBluegrass]

Elon Musk has zero legal authority to do anything on behalf of the government.
He has no immunity.
He should be sued for theft of personal information ,violation of civil rights immediately.
He is just a rich guy stealing stuff.
He has nothing but a website.
If Musk has frozen any computer you have access to for work SUE him ASAP.
Musk is nothing.

BREAKING: ICE just announced it is pausing the hotline where people can call to report undocumented immigrants because 90% of the calls are from people reporting Elon Musk.

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

[The Halfway Post @HalfwayPost]

BREAKING: ICE has reportedly been getting hundreds of phone calls every day from citizens citing Elon Musk’s apparent illegal immigration to the US.

Your kids don't have to be so sick all the time. The federal government could install HEPA filters and germicidal UV radiation into every public school classroom. Hurting your kids is a choice.

I literally mask because I love my life so very much and I believe the studies about covid and the personal testimonies of long covid sufferers. I'm so thankful they'd care enough to warn me.
