Who did this?

November 2024: Workers at Anheuser-Busch InBev's Wicked Weed plant in Portsmouth, NH, vote to join the Teamsters. March 2025: Anheuser-Busch InBev announces the sudden closure of that plant and a $1M upgrade to Wicked Weed's Asheville NC plant.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

This is a sad but interesting question. How many grad students will leave and where, if anywhere will they go ?

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

Breathtaking. A federal prosecutor in LA was fired Friday at the behest of the White House, after lawyers for a fast-food executive he was prosecuting pushed officials in DC to drop all charges against him White House ordered firing of L.A. federal prosecutor on ex-Fatburger CEO case, sources say

Bingo

DOGE staffer Marko Elez, fired from Treasury for racist posts, wasn’t just rehired but has had his portfolio expanded to at least five agencies, new court filings show. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Yep

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Krome detention center is more like a concentration camp! This is disturbing and disgusting!!

We are sitting ducks under Trump. Everyone better educate themselves on spotting Russian disinformation—federal countermeasures on pause. ⚠️ US security agencies have stopped countering Russian sabotage, cyberattacks, and disinformation. Tactics have included arson, assassinations & cyber warfare.

When following the headlines fills me with despair, it's comforting to cuddle with a family member who remains blissfully unconcerned about fascism. That would be Trixie (a/k/a Bat-Mite).

There’s no official site that lists every Early Vote location in Wisconsin. So, every election, the WisDems voter protection team calls clerks all over the state and compiles our own. In-person early voting is open NOW, and you can register at the polls. Find your location here: wisdems.org/vote

That’s a shame that Skadden took away Rachel Cohen’s email access. Because after I read her LinkedIn post early this morning, I sent this email to her. If anyone is in touch with her, please forward this to her. Thank you.

Omg this 💥

We miss your goodness and your leadership in the White House, Joe.

Anyone have that sinking feeling happening?

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

Very powerful @americanbar.org www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

INCREDIBLY SAD THAT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS SOUTH AFRICAN APARTHEID HAS MADE IT TO US SHORES. Elections have consequences.

Hey folks, sorry for the extra late notice, but the weekly AMA will be tomorrow - today was a day. I just got a min to sit down

👇👇

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Which is exactly why I’m not reading them now. Fuck all the media who is suddenly super concerned about a tyrannical government

Want a great slogan for midterms? "If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you " You get the point. FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

FINALLY we are seeing some pushback from SOMEBODY! Lawyer up, Donnie

We will have victories and setbacks, good days and bad. We must understand that this will not be over in one election or with the defeat of any one candidate. This is the fight of our generation, and it will take time. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

3 years ago, a friend asked me why I called Elon Musk a Nazi. Well, it's because it never took me seeing him do this to see the patterns of nazism he has been drenched in for the last 5 years minimum.

Anyway, Happy Martin Luther King Day, the ONLY event of note happening today!

Hillary and Kamala. 2 underestimated and under appreciated American leaders. I am forever grateful for their service and sacrifice.

Please learn as much as you can about the methods of disinformation that are circulating among us. It’s time to get facile at spotting the phony. Children start studying disinformation tactics in Finland at age 6. We gotta play a game of catch up. theins.ru/en/news/277378

Just wait Because you KNOW on January 21 the narrative will suddenly change So part of our job over the next 4 years will be to tell people the truth Wages rising? Thanks Joe! That new manufacturing plant? Great Infrastructure law, Joe! Unemployment at 4%? Way to go, Joe! THIS IS HOW WE FIGHT

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

There is a special election in Virginia this Tuesday! Then special elections for the vacated House seats in Trump's cabinet. 31 states have local elections, 2 have Supreme Court races, and 2 more have statewide races we can win! Primaries in at least 3 states later this month. Let's GO!

Here’s a New Year’s Resolution: Be on the side that reads books — not the side that bans them.

Hahaha....so True!

To all the Trump supporters attacking us and our YouTube channel, please know you’re only inspiring us to grow this media network even bigger. We are ready for this fight. We are ready to win. We revel in knowing you are so triggered. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
