"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Standing up matters. Your voice matters. Keep speaking out. Don't be intimidated. Don't let others, regardless of who they are, stop you from raising your voice. The voiceless deserve more than your silence. Praying, hoping & ignoring will not work anymore.

So true. I live in tx and they play that shit at every sporting event. It sickens me. I just sit there. I argued with a trumper at a game who told me to stand up during the national anthem.

The government shutdown brought to you by trump and the maga majority in congress. He doesn't give two shits about federal employees or workers anywhere.

Alt National Park Service @altnps.bsky.social · 1d

Federal employees across the government are now receiving layoff notices, a devastating outcome of Trump’s political games. It’s outrageous that he would use people’s livelihoods as pawns to “score political points”.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
