- Reposted by GrittyGraceClosing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.

- Reposted by GrittyGraceWe should not forget that the VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES participated in the WhiskeyLeaks breach.
- Reposted by GrittyGraceIt's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

- Reposted by GrittyGraceWhy won't our own congress listen to us? We are under a fascist attack/takeover and our leaders are obsessed with decorum and business as usual.
- Reposted by GrittyGracePlease give us your thoughts on why no single Democratic leader has emerged to solidly counter Trump/Musk. Yes, many are speaking up, Senator Sanders is doing an anti-oligarchy tour, but no one is standing up to be the face of and fighter for democracy.
- Reposted by GrittyGraceBy threatening to renege on these contracts, the Trump Administration is breaking commitments to farmers and threatening the economic stability of rural America. sustainableagriculture.net/blog/trump-d...

- Reposted by GrittyGraceIf you want to eat the most expensive eggs you’ve ever had in your life, you should have backyard chickens. Don’t get me wrong, I love them and have raised them, but they are an expensive hobby.
- Reposted by GrittyGraceCalls increasing across Europe to cancel all US contracts immediately and oust Star link. The Russia allied Trump government has made the US a national security threat.

- Reposted by GrittyGraceIn the 1970s Iran was a normal country without public hatred of women. They were allowed in public society in miniskirts & pants. To go to school & college. Project 2025 subjugates women as Iran does now. #WakeUpAmerica
- Reposted by GrittyGraceIt's so tiresome how the same folks who claim to believe in the personal responsibility "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" ideology rally around a guy who had everything handed to him and takes responsibility for NOTHING.
- Reposted by GrittyGrace“Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.”
- Reposted by GrittyGraceI bet he’s got Christian in his X bio. All the shitty ones do.
- Reposted by GrittyGraceYes, indeed. Gaza and West Bank were the first litmus tests that the Dems failed on, refusing to vote according to the majority of Americans who opposed assisting in and funding a genocide, in favor of taking Aipac money. If they can be bought, they aren’t on our side.
- Reposted by GrittyGraceWell said!
- Reposted by GrittyGraceShameless.
- Reposted by GrittyGraceMockler: If you had to say one thing to Elon Musk and his DOGE cabal, what would it be? Warren: I would say follow the law and get the hell out of our agencies. Get the hell out of our government. Nobody elected you.
- Reposted by GrittyGraceWhat we saw last night was nothing but lies beyond count. The twisting of good projects overseas into dark evil and almost 5 minutes of lies about Social Security recipients. It’s all twisting reality so fools are eager to tear down the very system protecting them. They’re coming for ALL of it.
- Reposted by GrittyGraceTrump's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," and the trans community have one clear purpose: If we are angry at each other, we won't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.
- Reposted by GrittyGraceOpinion | Whether it's the president of the United States flagrantly lying about dead people cashing Social Security checks or Oberlin undergraduates overstating the cultural appropriation of dining hall banh mi, both sides are betraying fair-minded centrists like myself.

- #grief creates a visceral reactionary state within the mind & body of the individual. Surrendering them to internal & physical pain. Stifled in one's own echo chamber. It permeates the soul with carnage permanently altered by deafening sound. #widow #thegriefspot #griefisadirtyword #normalizegrief

- Reposted by GrittyGraceThis is the same richest guy in the world who said that he would end world hunger, and when presented with a plan to do that by UNICEF he backed out. Imagine given the opportunity to go down in history as the man who ended World Hunger and saying "Nah, I'd rather have more money."
