Now indeed is the time.

A tweet from Chris Murphy reads: "An unaccountable billionaire is seizing control of the government. Now he has access to your tax information. Maybe because he wants to decide who gets refunds and who doesn't. Before it's too late, this is the moment for Americans stand up and say: we want our government back." Below the tweet, there is an image of a CNN breaking news segment with the headline: "MUSK TEAM GAINS ACCESS TO SYSTEM THAT WRITES AMERICA'S CHECKS".

What Musk & his monster kids are doing is illegal.
It's a Coup.
Don't call it doge- that gives legitimacy to the hijackers.

Call them the Hijackers, the CoupKids, or anything else you like.
Repeating the name they call themselves gives the oppressor legitimacy they should never have.

I genuinely can’t get over how much this country hates women. I mean, I thought I understood, but every day feels like a fresh new injury.

Trump just announced Sean Parnell as the chief Pentagon Spokesman.

Parnell’s wife testified under oath that he repeatedly choked her. He ultimately lost custody of his children.

BREAKING: MAGA Congressman Brandon Gill calls for Congresswoman Ilhan Omar to be deported to Somalia — despite being an American citizen.

“America would be a better place if @IlhanMN were deported back to Somalia,” Gill wrote on X.

America would be a better place without racists like Gill.

Trump is set to sign an executive order tomorrow, which will withdraw the United States from the UN Human Rights Council and halt funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides services to Palestinian refugees. I voted for Harris because I knew better. How about you?

Just so y'all know - the dude that hijacked the federal government couldn't get clearance because of his drug use and ties to foreign nationals.

One weird thing I get on here, that’s different to the other apps is weird replies to my threads about how to respond to our current moment. Most people like them & tell me they invigorated them. But those replies, wow.

Fairy Moon 🧚‍♂️💚💜✨

An illustration of a kneeling fairy. She has a vine around her left thigh, hand on the right. Her left hand is poised at her cheek as she regards the viewer with parted, pouty lips. The palette of the pieces is a violet background, the fairy composed of a variety of purples and pale slightly grey blues and wonderfully neon greens. 🎨✨

Trump has no idea whatsoever what Musk is actually doing even though he also signed the executive order giving DOGE “full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, software systems, and IT systems."
