Turns out DOGE is more than just a fake agency, it’s cuts are fake too. A dog and pony show. Uncover the truth behind the fake “savings” and the real cost to taxpayers… like… your information. Watch now: m.youtube.com/watch?v=-8YR...

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.

During the hottest days of the year, utility companies like Duke Energy can unilaterally decide to shut off your power – and the consequences can be deadly. Add your name to the petition demanding Duke stop the summer shutoffs NOW → act.350.org/signup/may-2...

In awe of the bravery of college students standing up for Palestinian lives in their graduation speeches knowing they can have their degree withheld for the apparent sin of asserting that human beings shouldn’t be murdered indiscriminately

Remote control.

Yes: mysteriously, after years and millions spent on Congressional investigations, not a single Biden crime family crime was uncovered. If they'd found ANYTHING it would be all over the airwaves all the time.

Convenient that Musk provided us with a tailor-made example of how dangerous AI is, and why it should NEVER become a source of information about politics or history

CREW, along with over 200 other organizations, signed a letter opposing a bill that would grant the Treasury Secretary the ability to accuse any nonprofit of being a “terrorist supporting organization” without basic due process. The House must reject it.

Deportation for honking his horn at an undercover ICE officer

Reminder: when Sean Duffy was a congressman, he and other Republicans voted against upgrading air traffic control systems. Now, he’s trying to blame those systems for Newark airport’s outages – while claiming DOGE’s cuts of critical support staff at the FAA had nothing to do with it. Hello?

How come this is impossible for GOP?

You know, if the afrikaners were being truly persecuted, then I could understand the need for refuge in America. That's not the case, though. They just didn't like the new rules in their area of S Africa. It's just colonizers taking farmlands from American farmers,with JDs' help. #SheShed #MomSky

Probably these same people claim we're a Christian nation

Zeldin says he wants a "Reagan-sized" EPA. When Reagan left office in 1989, the EPA budget was $5.1 billion. Adjusted for inflation, that's $13.8 billion in today’s dollars. But the EPA budget last year was only $9.1 billion. If Zeldin wants a Reagan-sized EPA, he should boost its budget by 50%

So Bondi used to get $115k a month as a lobbyist for Qatar. What a coincidence.

Sharing this very important thread again about how we (looking at you, white allies) can act against ICE, but this time as images to make it easy to share across platforms. Make sure every ally sees this. #AbolishICE #OnYourSide

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

This is so awful and sad - and where they feel silenced, we who have less to lose must speak up for our US scientific colleagues “The lived experience of a scientist [in the US] right now is terrifying” www.science.org/content/arti...

My criticism of the justices -- six of them -- isn't ad hominem: it's all about the intellectual integrity and consistency of their rulings. Or lack thereof.

This sums it up.

To be clear - even the city of Nashville has no proof anyone ICE has arrested was a violent criminal or a gang member. (And due process is a thing) All anyone has is ICE’s word, backed up by @GovBillLee & Blackburn. Maybe the media could point that out instead of parroting their talking points?

We’re excited about Ford’s new EV plants in Kentucky and Tennessee—but we were already excited back in 2021, under Biden. Now Trump’s out there acting like he built them himself. He didn’t lift a finger—just hijacking credit in a red tie, hoping no one remembers the truth.

Guess which is going wind up killing more Americans.

Wondering who the ICE guys are wearing the masks? Pretty sure it's. Jan. 6 to ICE pipeline

The bots are coming! Seriously, about 20 people followed me today. In the spirit of following back, I did -- then realized none of them have bios, all of them are following ~450 people ("people") and have ~275 followers, and all have bot-sounding, Ford Prefect-like names. Anyone else seeing this?

After seeing ICE snatch an immigrant baby from her mother’s arms. I thought of this.

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

I made 38K my first year teaching in Arkansas. I held a BA. I made 41K in Missouri after 16 years of teaching. I held an MA. See the problem?

If you think this isn’t quite right, #BoycottAmazon

Jeff Bezos just purchased his FOURTH luxury jet that flies near the speed of sound. Isn’t that wonderful news for the peasants?

Fun facts 😄

I stand with Jasmine....

Nekima Levy Armstrong, a civil rights attorney and BLM activist, reflects on the ongoing struggle for racial justice in the US. In light of George Floyd’s murder in 2020, she voices concern over the nation's regression in its commitment to racial equity.

Those 3 silent K's........🤔

🇺🇸 “Rolling Stone reached out to all 53 GOP senators after the president said he didn't know whether he needs to honor the nation's founding document. None replied.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

School Administrator: Are you teaching the reading curriculum? The English teacher: I dunno… Do you see how stupid Trump sounds when he says he doesn’t know if he has to follow the Constitution? We wouldn’t accept this shit from a teacher, so why would we accept it from the President?
