“We take vaccines so for granted in the United States” ...“Women in the developing world know the power of [vaccines]. They will walk 10 kilometers in the heat with their child and line up to get a vaccine because they have seen death.” Melinda Gates

Translation: “Small businesses can’t enrich me personally so I don’t care what happens to them” Says it all, really

this man who thinks tariffs raise revenue has a full time job teaching children

There are 32m small businesses in the USA

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

If you’re protesting today, please watch and share widely.

A person drives drunk (on average) 80 times before getting a DUI. How many classified attack plans have been compromised w/adversaries, vs. US journalists?

Killing Social Security without actually killing it. This is what a vote for Trump was actually for.

If Dems fail to make Signal leak an incessant story demanding resignations/impeachment, it would be a mirror image of Benghazi, her emails, etc. In face of GOP zone-flooding, Dems cowered instead of calling bullshit; now when GOP says Signal leak is NBD, a failure to push back would be catastrophic.

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

Total incompetence, and gross negligence to put a legal point on it: Trump WH "envoy Steve Witkoff was in Moscow, where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, when he was included in a group chat with more than a dozen other top administration officials" discussing war plans on Signal.

OSSOFF: Director Ratcliffe, this was a huge mistake, correct? RATLIFFE: No OSSOFF: This is an embarrassment

Our society is not healthy enough to endure such sustained exposure to absolutely rancid New York Metro dudes. Even for those of us who have developed an immunity through long exposure this level of Long Island Guy is unsafe.

Finland and Denmark have issued official warnings to their trans citizens from traveling to the US. This follows Germany issuing a similar warning. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Casar: On a roll? What I know is that when the ultra-rich and special interests were on a roll in the 1920s and started controlling the government, they crashed the economy and caused the Great Depression. We’ve got to stop that roll—we can’t let them do something like that again.

This Motion says, in essence, you judge, are out of line for demanding the evidence needed to prove that I lied to you in court. Since we’re in the “revoking degrees” phase of our democracy’s unraveling, I’d like to the know the schools from which this coterie of lawyers were graduated.

If Donald Trump was a Russian spy actively sabotaging the United States of America... what would he do differently?

Here come the Judges who have judged Trump and Musk lawless.

I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. Earlier today, the president attempted to illegally fire me. This is corruption, plain and simple. I will see the president in court. My full statement:

Tariffs aren’t just taxes—they’re job killers. 🚨 Higher costs for businesses mean fewer hires, lower wages, and layoffs. Trade wars don’t make us stronger, they make workers pay the price, literally. 💸

The only legal body that could stop Trump is the US Senate through finding him guilty during an impeachment trial. They won’t do that, so he is effectively above all laws. I don’t understand why it took everyone so long to realize this. Trump and his team have been saying this since last year.

one hell of a big red line is being crossed here

I wonder if my great great grandpa dreamed when he escaped the Black & Tans and set forth to America… that 174 years later his descendant would be explaining WHY WE DONT FUCK WITH FASCISTS AND ZEALOTS TO A BUNCH OF WHITE FOLKS WHO WANT A KING AND STATE SPONSORED COMPULSARY RELIGION - STILL!!!!

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Every single Democrat posting "of course government waste is a problem, but..." is providing cover for this plundering.

36 people are reported dead in the last 24 hours across seven states due to extreme storms. States of emergency have been declared in Arkansas, Georgia and Oklahoma, where more than 100 wildfires have been raging. Trump would like you to know this.

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

3 situations where Republicans said “do X or else” and the entity gave in just to have the “or else” happen anyway: - Columbia with speech/ICE (defunded) - DC with the BLM mural (defunded) - Congressional Dems with the whole budget (defunded & they’re still shutting down the gov)

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

what happened to read only access

the fact that the husband in this story doesn’t appear to regret his choices at all is mind-boggling to me. tens of millions of americans have linked their very sense of identity to trump such that it overrides every other attachment.

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America: 1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI 2) kill universities 3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub 4) empty the cities 5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen

As Tesla's stock plummets, will taxpayers bail out Elon Musk, or will President Trump simply write him a check? Notably, Musk's companies have already benefited from over $38 billion in government support.

Trying to imagine Biden withholding disaster funds from red states unless they first instituted gun control

WOW — “Republican lawmakers in Montana voted en masse to help defeat 2 extreme anti-trans bills in an unprecedented move after powerful speeches from 2 trans reps.” A reminder of how extreme our TN GOP supermajority is. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
