"RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee" An anti-science quack making us all less safe by the minute. apnews.com/article/kenn...

A full Tejano band in a big truck rolled into the Olvera St, the lead singer has a Fuck ICE shirt on, and this protest is now a dance party

The Klan was humiliated when people refused to cower and just started pointing and laughing at them, and I bet these dance parties are driving human thumb Tom Homan crazy. Crazier, I guess.

Right now, Trump’s Tax Scam is being rewritten by Senate Republicans before heading back to the House for a second vote. Every change to the bill (and every day they take) makes it that much harder to pass both chambers. This is why we’re focused on delaying the GOP’s process as much as possible.

While Elon Musk and Donald Trump post through their breakup, DOGE shows no signs of slowing down—and potential recruits are being told they can make up to $195,000 a year.

Ah, the golden age.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

Well, we're all going to die, but before then we can defeat Joni Ernst and talk about how democracy reasserts itself. Join today for some live Q&A as we work through all this together.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

DEAN: Did your department have any worry about the president growing his own business while on the job? LUTNICK: My trip to the Middle East was extraordinary. It was amazing. DEAN: I'm sure. I'm asking you, did the question of conflict of interest come up? LUTNICK: No DEAN: It is grotesque

I am so glad "why tariff banana" thought is reaching members of Congress. It's the most obvious example of how insane this administration's trade policy has been—officials like Lutnick can't give a good justification for it because there simply isn't one

"We cannot build bananas in America" is an all timer

Hundreds of men are sitting in an El Salvadorian prison widely known for torturing people. The Trump administration cannot disappear people without due process. They cannot use American taxpayer dollars to outsource human rights violations. We will see them in court.

Indeed we do.

"Ukraine struck at least four Russian airfields. But the real target wasn’t logistical. It was moral. And it hit." New from Brian O'Neill.

Starting April 2025, La Resistencia got multiple calls from people inside NWDC. They’d been getting sick with diarrhea from eating improperly cooked, raw food. Since everything is VERY expensive at the commissary, they’re forced to eat whatever slop they are served by GEO Group.

Our @meltingice_artexhibit is now at the Unitarian Church located at 621 Tacoma Ave South Tacoma, WA 98402! Check it out until June 20th of this month!

On May 30th, Congresswomen Emily Randall and Pramila Jayapal conducted an unannounced oversight visit at the Northwest Detention Center (NWDC).

This morning, La Resistencia received a message from a detained migrant, letting us know about the harrowing OVERCROWDING at Northwest Detention Center.

Good to meet with @mealsonwheelsus.bsky.social CEO Ellie Hollander. I've always fought to boost funding for Meals On Wheels, and I always will. I'll be ripping up Trump's budget and doing everything I can to protect Meals On Wheels. Seniors shouldn't go hungry in America. No one should.

"Not all the legal missiles will land on target, but enough will knock holes in Trump’s legal armor to rattle MAGA Republicans, bolster elected Democrats, and dispel lingering paralysis and defeatism out in the country."

President Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, Paul Ingrassia, has repeatedly used antisemitic dog whistles, trafficked in conspiracy theories, and defended known antisemites. He has no place serving in a role that enforces ethics laws.

Because the US administration is very worried about waste. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

1/ New in the Abrego Garcia case, the Judge has just granted his lawyers' request for permission to file sanctions against the government, which is very unusual.

I agree with this. I will also add that usually well-informed non-academic progressive voters I talk to have absolutely no idea what is going on in higher education and research and the long-term repercussions+

In Florida no less! Kudos!! We all need to be calling pur representatives!!

By revoking EMTALA guidance, Donald Trump thinks he knows how to treat patients better than doctors. He doesn’t. People will die, and it will all be for Republicans’ fight for a national abortion ban.

Project 2025 is in action – but so are we. We’ve sued the Trump-Vance administration 70+ times over their attempts to institute Project 2025 policies and we’re winning in court on behalf of the American people.

Raygun is on it 😂

Extremely important to bear in mind that the increase in the debt here is a low-ball figure, since that amount is linked to the US's reputation for financial stability. If anything like this bill becomes law, there's good reason to think that cost goes up, maybe way up, as bond markets freak out

Elizabeth Warren: "You'd have to talk to the Senate moderates about what moves the needle for them. Right now, they seem to be fine with cutting healthcare access for 14m Americans and cutting access to food, and pairing that with tax breaks for billionaires."

This is just absolutely perfect. Kennedy destroys Lutnick and vividly illustrates the absurdity of the Trump trade policy. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It's clear: the Trump-Vance administration is caving to its anti-abortion allies and breaking President Trump’s campaign promises. Everyone deserves the right to access necessary emergency medical care. We’ll use every legal tool to defend reproductive freedom.

Erasing Harvey Milk’s name is disgusting, blatant discrimination—and during Pride Month to boot. He served the U.S. Navy and his country honorably, and he was assassinated while serving the public and fighting for LGBTQ+ rights. Hegseth should be ashamed of himself and reverse this immediately.
