Too many Americans still have their heads in the sand and refuse to acknowledge and confront a right-wing authoritarian regime that is currently in power and playing for all the marbles. with @daniellemoodie.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGTt...

Not dangerous criminals. Dylan, a high school student, came here legally. He showed up to court—and ICE grabbed him. The feds are asking judges to dismiss migrant cases. That dismissal strips legal status, turning people undocumented on the spot—then ICE moves in under “expedited removal.”

The Fulton County Board of Commissioners rejected the GOP’s nominations of prominent election deniers to the county board of elections. One previously refused to certify primary results, and the other filed a lawsuit with false claims about voter rolls.

This is great news for all the Americans who are hoping to die of bird flu.

Since 1900, the avg life expectancy has risen from 47 ⟶ 79.4 years. Why? For starters, tax dollars & regulations have created: Vaccines, antibiotics, & other treatments for infectious & chronic diseases Better nutrition, access to clean water & sanitation, clean living conditions 1/2 (more)

If you ever wondered what would happen if a handful of the wealthiest men on the planet took over the American government, this is it.

#CongresswomanJasmineCrockettwouldbemypickforsure But that’s IF competence are the bar she has to cross.

While the Appalling One is appealing, a federal three-judge panel has confirmed that just because Donald really really wants something, that does not, in fact, constitute an emergency.

Donald Trump has increased his wealth by an average of $22.48 million every day since his inauguration. He’s cutting healthcare for people making $7.25 per hour, and giving tax breaks to him and his friends. This isn’t “America First,” — it’s “Trump First, America Last.”

If we ever get our democracy, James and NO ONE ELSE, must be the next AG.

Musk isn't "leaving" government service. He's making his getaway.

Lawrence O’Donnell: one of the last honest voices in journalism—smart, sharp, and always right about the law. While others were busy sane-washing Trump, Lawrence said it for ages: those tariffs were illegal. The U.S. Court of International Trade proved him right. Again. Truth matters.

“The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with,” Keyes told NOTUS .. “We’ve certainly done research on this topic, but did not publish a paper in JAMA Pediatrics on this topic .. or with that title.” @notusreports.bsky.social www.notus.org/health-scien...

Jessica Tarlov: “He does these interviews and says I don't know, or I'm not sure. He was asked ‘do you need to uphold the constitution? I don't know, ask a lawyer’ … He may be in front of you, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not spewing utter BS.”

But then the children can see all the commandments the adults are breaking.

RFK Jr's "MAHA" report is filled with references to studies that literally do not exist, or that completely misinterpret the studies' findings. “We did not publish a paper.. on this topic with that co-author group, or with that title,” says one cited researcher. www.notus.org/health-scien...

I’m not going to pretend for one second that an executive order is a law. I don’t serve a king.

Gutwrenching. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

@replsimon.bsky.social is meeting the moment with righteous fire.

Unfortunately she works for a branch of the NBC Empire. Watch this gentle lady get fired for telling the truth.

" Medicaid money doesn't go to those enrolled in the program. Medicaid payments goes to either the doctors, hospitals & drug companies themselves or to the Managed Care Organization (MCO) which administers the program...which in turn pays the doctors, hospitals & drug companies."

Beyond parody.

It’s PARDON PALOOZA in the Trump White House! Katie Phang reports on how Trump is using his pardon power to give grace to all the wrong people and sending the message that pardons are for purchase.

ICE agents making arrests while masked— no warrants. This is about basic civil rights. What are our protections? Who’s accountable? Congress must act. Hold hearings—sanctioned or not. ☎️ Call your Senators and Representatives NOW: (202) 224-3121 @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

A judge ruled that DOGE can now access sensitive Treasury Department systems, allowing its Musk staffers to interact with the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which manages trillions in federal payments and holds private information on millions of Americans.

Trump's run of recent pardons marks a continuation of his first-term trend of granting clemency to political loyalists.

Trump's DOJ has granted Boeing a non-prosecution agreement over the 737 MAX crashes, despite the company's repeated attempts to deceive regulators.  Boeing donated $1M to Trump's inauguration and has paid AG Pam Bondi's former lobbying firm at least $480K. Follow the money.

Immigrants Paid $66 Billion In Federal Taxes in 2023 They are not eligible for benefits, so they don't receive them. Repressive Republican Regime is using IRS private data to arrest immigrants, Costing $25 Billion in reduced tax payments. Net $50 Billion loss budgetlab.yale.edu/research/pot...

No kings, masters, overlords or any of that bullshit. Time to take the country back.
