By @alejandrabee.bsky.social The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.

"Centralisation has never been an Indian idea. Any attempt to standardise and centralise India is like trying to use chopsticks on a thali." —Wouldn't stop RSS/BJP from relentlessly trying to centralise/standardize India with one God, one political party, one Supreme Leader, one language, etc.

Remember when Republicans used to complain about government overreach? Well...that was bullshit. They don't mind authoritarians if these tyrants target institutions and people they consider political or cultural enemies.

The cruelty is the point.

All the truths that he sent out last evening and this morning..He knows exactly what would happen to the market. He is letting Jr. pump and dump and short some stocks.

Disinformation straight from the White House.

If you choose to put your product out on Etsy, the least you could do is to be responsive when a customer reached out to you with a question.

Here's a picture that a @kuow.org photographer took in Seattle yesterday, showing the ICE officers masked up in the hallways as they waited to arrest people coming out of their hearings.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: The Facebook account Trump shared with South Africa's president as "proof" of a genocide against white South Africans belonged to a fringe account that frequently posts racist imagery and pushes flat Earth conspiracies.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Cruel

🚨The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report on Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" estimates that the legislation passed by the Energy and Commerce Committee will mean 8.6 million people will lose health insurance. (7.6 million people will be dropped from Medicaid, and 1 million will lose ACA plans.)

A 27% decline in overdose deaths is still too high — but it is a remarkable step forward. Why on earth would HHS want to reverse course when we're finally making life-saving progress?

Wtf ?

The Trump DOJ has officially now pressed more charges against elected Democrats than the Biden DOJ under Garland did against Republicans. And Republicans did January 6. Think about this.

14,000.

Hope Jake Tapper's book taps out..sooner than he can blink.

Jon Stewart roasts CNN for their nonstop promotion of the Biden book.

Gary Lineker is a hero. This day was always going to come. He spoke the truth. And he has been made to pay.

“Sorry, we don’t have enough money for universal healthcare, we’re too busy paying people whose family members tried to overthrow the federal government”

Here's a thread of verified civilians trying to survive in Gaza. Their Bsky accounts are constantly deleted, so I’ll post directly to their funds. These are real people, in desperate need of help. We’re their only lifeline due to the aid blockades. Please give if you can and share. 1/17

Vance is a fucking ghoul, sure, but he also knows that he can say this and no one in the press will ever ask him about whether or not Trump is capable of doing the job. He knows they're feckless and is rubbing it in their faces.

You know you’re winning when you post “We are NOT the Gestapo!”

It's remarkable how much of this administration's agenda has been laser focused on simply making life worse for ordinary Americans.

NEW: Attorney General Ken Paxton’s crusade against alleged voter fraud has led to the criminal prosecution of six Democratic officials, all Latino, in Frio County, Texas. Civil rights groups say the charges are politically motivated and aim to suppress Latino civic participation.

He should anyhow. But especially now, yes.

Sick people.

Reading the news and thinking of Biden and his family. 😞

BREAKING: Over 100,000 Protest in The Hague for Gaza. This is one of the largest protests in The Hague in 60 years.

people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

Meanwhile in India, academicians are getting arrested. Such dissident voices getting arrested have been happening long before Trump 2.0. Modi and Trump are two peas from the same pod. www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/a...

The fastest volt-face I have seen (among those elected heads of states) is that of Keir Starmer's.

Absolutely shameful act by NYU.

Re birthright citizenship: The potential chaos is the point. If there is ambiguity regarding who is a citizen and who isn’t, there is then more pretext for rounding up people for being here “illegally” and then making it hard or impossible to prove their citizenship

I think it’s highly likely that Bruce Springsteen will be stopped at the airport and questioned for an hour or two when he comes back to the country.
