I, personally, do not want the razor blade throat variant (or any variant). As always, I will continue to mask around anyone that isn’t in my household as do they. Stay safe, friends.

This is what we mean when there will no longer be any fair elections under the Trump Administration and DOJ. Impossible. This will not be turned around by elections. WORST CASE SCENARIO IS TRUMP WILL DECLARE MARTIAL LAW AND SUSPEND ELECTIONS.

Excellent. More of this please. And if you can't go to a townhall or your rep won't hold one, give them a call and write them an email to ask questions like this.

If the 70s taught me anything, it was that trades people could, in fact, be gay.

There's not much time left. When it's gone, it's gonna be worse than this.

Long Covid and ME/CFS folks— Developing relationships with the health staffers for your Members of Congress is well worth your time, and this is a great opportunity to be introduced to them. The meetings this year will all be remote, and Solve will train you!

About 500 students staged a walkout today after federal immigration agents detained a 20-year-old Venezuelan migrant who had been attending a Bronx high school. ICE arrested an Ellis Prep Academy student identified only as Dylan on May 21 when he showed up for a mandatory immigration court hearing.

The solution to the Democrats messaging problem isn’t to replicate the rw media ecosystem, but to recognize what makes it powerful, including the participatory storytelling and sense of agency it provides to its audiences, and to adapt those dynamics in ways that align w/ Dem/progressive values.

Pathetically dumb use of AI -

SCOOP— FEMA essential functions are at "high risk" of not functioning properly just days before hurricane season because of staffing shortages, per a recent internal memo obtained by The Handbasket. These deficiencies "may disrupt life-saving and life-sustaining program delivery." Full story here:

"Power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives… power can change the definition of the words we use to describe reality”

Pretty sure dipshit and the car salesman had a lot to do with this

Read how Shaboozey's eyeroll is related to Black history, Caucasian Race Theory and a little-discussed medical condition called "Liarbetes"

I am tired of seeing people *who create nothing new* removing my name from my images to share them online for likes. It is not okay to do that, even if you mention my name in the text. Just don't do it. That's why we can't have nice things on the internet.

#Black #women scholars have been saying what #ed says for decades. Ed is good, yeah, but if media outlets didn’t only hire white guy fan boys he wouldn’t be so lonely. @karenhao.bsky.social is an exception proving a rule

reputable medical journals keep saying that RFK and his pro-disease friends are full of shit and so naturally they must be shunned www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Why #electionSecurity is absolutely key

DOGE illegal, unconstitutional, per Judge Chutkan.

Of course it’s bad to see banks and other gov using #telemessage, the crap #signal intermediary, but #a16z, also? If the techies over there are so damn smart shouldn’t they have known better? micahflee.com/telemessage-... #TheyReallyDontUnderstandTheSocialContract

The #US #Nonprofit community has been impressive in its resolve against the #administration's #NonprofitKillerBill - and #NCN deserves praise. Unfortunately, the fight is not over, it's just being hidden better: www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Wow, the FTC is now targeting Musks's imagined enemies. I wonder how that happened.

Powerful voices straight from farmers in this article: "The main thing we need right now is for our local legislators to speak up for us. A lot of them are being quiet. But we need to advocate against the wrongdoing that is being done to farmers." — Patrick Brown, North Carolina Farmer

🚨🚨This is for the noobs under the HHS umbrella, please pass it on. I was asked by the union to get the word out. 🚨🚨 “Probationary employees who got a letter stating that they were terminated effectively eight, please research Federal notice law regarding employment actions.

seems like a pretty basic question and one that all of us in #USA should be asking, loudly: WHY are the supposed #ICE dudes wearing masks? Are they not real #ICE? substack.com/@thinkbigpic... #USpol #ICE #immigration #kidnapping?

Fancy that, even they can’t keep track of the lies and liars “Trump advisers tracking the investigation have privately suggested they no longer have any idea about who or what to believe.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...?

Universities and professors need to work hard to change the absurd narratives being pushed. Outreach to the broad public is one good tactic.

Oh, cool, it looks as though AI now has a mind of its own. Who didn't see this coming?

And would the people who asked for this please raise their hands. Anyone? No one?

The GOP wants to be crystal clear that if you’re a political enemy, your life is forfeit. The law will not protect you.

Given the news out of Harvard and the sustained attacks on student protesters, it seems like a good time to re-up this.

Reminder that odometer fraud is a federal felony and a state felony in all 50 states.

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

Look, between Noem and RFK, nobody can say “gratuitous animal murder” wasn’t on the ballot.
