Look at this picture. In Trump’s America these are not the bad guys or a criminal gang but U.S. Government agents. These masked men with ZERO identifying insignia or badges are driving around in unmarked vans and snatching people off the street!! Identity yourselves and show your faces!

“Americans are being forced to accept masked paramilitary forces stopping you anytime, anywhere—demanding to know where people are from,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social. “It is an assault on the idea of America itself.”

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles

🚨 URGENT RESPONSE CALL 🚨 Trump’s Fool’s Gold Science EO is a dangerous sham. It gives his appointees the power to dismiss entire bodies of research and punish researchers who fail to fall in line with his agenda. We’ve launched an open letter. SIGN & SHARE NOW: actionnetwork.org/petitions/op...

This is straight up fascism. It does not benefit the country in ANY way. It merely helps Trump consolidate power. Unless people start to protest actions like these, and protest loudly, our country will be lost.

This is pretty damn funny, especially if you’ve ever tasted any of the Mountain Dew flavors.

What an embarrassment. It’s wild that the official position of the US Government is now pro-Nazi.

Three months in and they’ve already lost the country faster than any White House in decades. From here on out it’s just them whining about about how everyone is being mean to them.

"I think we are in a moment where Jesus is a victim of identity theft. I don't know what Bible folks are reading—attacking the poor in the name of the faith." Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

The US once led the world in attracting global talent—students, artists, scientists. Now they are fleeing to places like Canada. Thanks to Trump, the US is not only losing brilliant individuals but its economic and social future. A brain drain is coming and it will hurt the US for generations.🧵

Marks said he was happy to work with Kennedy to allay concerns about vaccines, but the secretary is not interested in the truth or the science. Vaccines are NOT linked to autism. apple.news/AIvBYR8IDQru...
