In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them.

No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a single person immobilize an entire crowd of people with “stop”.

Obedience, meekness, acquiescence in the face of what y’all are calling fascism.

“There are moments in the world's history when people look back and ask, ‘Where were the lawyers, where were the judges?’ In these moments, the rule of law becomes especially vulnerable. I refuse to let that beacon go dark today,” the judge said.  https://t.co/uelFv1DzFW

The Senate just made an oil executive who denies climate change exists our Energy Secretary.

Big Oil gets richer, we pay the price.

According to Chapter 18 of the U.S. Code, attempting to access classified documents without proper security clearance is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The rule of law should apply to everyone.

Is Elon Musk Staging a Coup? Unelected Billionaire Seizes Control at Treasury Dept. & Other Agencies https://t.co/KvUs1cJ8W3

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Why does the world’s richest man, a man no one voted for, have access to my Social Security number?

New by me: Musk and his minions have illegally installed a commercial server to control federal HR databases that contain sensitive personal information, including SSNs, home addresses, and medical histories, according to an OPM staffer https://t.co/u8coELjVnm

Elon Musk wants his Empire on Mars. The reason he wants to shut down USAid is that he wants tax payer money to fund and build his empire there. I know that sounds insane, and it is. The one thing Elon pressed upon me when I first met him was that he was going to go to Mars and set up a civilization there. He stopped being a humanitarian and “good guy” when he realized there was no way to get there without cleaning out government coffers, and there was no way to do that without stopping humanitarian aid here in the USA and abroad. Keep your eye on the ball. When Elon slashes costs, it’s for his own pocket and no one else’s. It’s stealing, is what it is. He sees those trillions as his. Not ours. He thinks he is “saving humanity” by going to Mars. He is clearly ending humanity and humanitarian aid to get there. We are Elon’s stepping stone. Be aware. He is already rich off government contracts. Now he is gaming the system. Trump has become his lapdog. Watch all the things Trump gives Elon now. Elon has seized him.

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

Yes, this is happening.

An unelected billionaire is seizing control of $6T in Social Security checks, Medicare, & tax refunds that our families depend on. We must push back immediately against this dangerous giveaway of our gov’t by the Trump Admin to the richest man on Earth.

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

This is how I wish Democrats and media would talk about what’s happening.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

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.

[Stuart Stevens @stuartpstevens]

This amounts to the most significant data leak in cyber history. Private individuals in the data business now have access to your Social Security information.

This violates data privacy laws in every state. Hopefully, state AGs will file suit and pursue criminal charges.

On Data Purge Eve, many people stayed up late to save the CDC website. @charles_gaba downloaded the whole thing. 👑

A group of us are working to make these preserved data an accessible & publicly available resource. More to come, but get started here 👇🏻

Trillions of dollars of taxpayer money are now controlled by that one middle-aged white guy in your Philosophy 101 class who read an Ayn Rand book once & now thinks he knows everything about economics & politics.
