The purest distillation of maga

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

I'm sure some of y'all are wondering what the hell is going on in D.C. tonight. Summary: GOP Senators are being openly greedy and corrupt with all their personal asks in the Big Beautiful Bill, but they're struggling to fit all those asks, like a snake choking on a bucket of dead mice. (1/3)

Republican playbook: “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels. Among psychologists something like this is known as the "illusion of truth" effect.

Trump hit with rare warning not seen in over 50 years. The U.S. dollar is moving toward its worst first half of the year since 1973, amid Trump’s economic and trade policies. www.nj.com/politics/202...

This sorry SOB who called our military every damn name in the book now plans to steal their valor for his narcissistic ego stroke. How I despise this man. ground.news/article/seve...

It’s already a shit week and it’s only Monday. Come out to the “West LA Freeway Brigade” Thursday morning and get high off of the honks and waves from the people in rush hour traffic as they read our messages! @indivisiblewestsidela.com @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social #VisibilityBrigade

Congressional Democrats need to show up at every single one of these and refuse to obey the unlawful policies of DHS. “Oh you have a rule? That’s adorable. We have the law.”

This is amazing, let’s go! Blue states are fighting back against Trump’s threats to withhold funding by introducing bills that give the federal government a taste of its own medicine.

It's peak wildfire season, and Trump's militarization of LA has California National Guard firefighting crews operating at just 40% capacity. Top military officials at the Department of Defense agree: it’s time to pull back the National Guard and get them back to fighting fires.

Ron Johnson's lies that "nobody would get kicked off Medicaid" if Trump's big bill becomes law go unchallenged by Jake Tapper

FUN FACT: Tiffany is the only one of his kids born to a naturalized U.S. citizen.

If you think ICE is bad now, just wait till they hire 10,000 more agents and open more concentration camps.

If you’re a Mainer, keep calling Susan Collins’ office at (202) 224-2523. Make your voice heard.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.

This DOJ directive should terrify every immigrant in America. They’re coming for naturalized citizens now, no trial, no lawyer, just vague accusations of “fraud” and your citizenship gets erased. This isn’t justice. It’s state-sponsored intimidation. If they get away with it, no one’s safe.

⚡️NEW: In Tennessee, Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social has introduced the “STOP AMERICAN GESTAPO ACT” — requiring law enforcement not to wear masks, and to ID themselves. As Blackburn, Johnson, Sexton and the GOP try to codify masked vigilantism, Jones moves to ban it to protect the public.

I am going to pause to say thank you to @SenateDems & ALL PEOPLE who have been engaged in education & activation! Thank you to those that are calling your Senators! I will do my part in the house, if we get that far! 🤞🏾

A) Ew. B) Everything is a grift. C) Imagine the freakout if Obama did this. D) Ew.

Sen Patty Murray just confirmed it: Republicans blocked her amendment to remove the provision that would defund Planned Parenthood. She’s calling it what it is—a backdoor national abortion ban. Extreme, dangerous, and wrong. 📞 Call 202-224-3121 Tag your senators. Demand they kill the bill. #VoteNo

Medicaid has many different names in different states. Almost 80 million Americans could lose their Medicaid. Many republicans don’t realize they’re receiving it. In Alaska it’s called Denali Care. Isn’t that right Lisa Murkowski? You took care of you and screwed everyone else.

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in cheap cellophane and marked down to $4.99 in the bargain bin."

CALL YOUR SENATOR NOW AND TELL THEM TO VOTE NO!!! ☎️

Hard to believe I'm siding with the guy who spent $300 million to get Trump elected, but he's not wrong: Republicans’ plan to run up the national debt to hand out giant tax breaks to billionaires will be an economic disaster.

Just so incredibly embarrassing

On Jun 26, 2025 at 630 Sansome in San Francisco, DHS, ICE and SFPD were caught trying to abduct innocent people. Why are these agents attempting to abduct innocent people in a sanctuary city?!! Investigate DHS and ICE!

Participate in a trial testing the effectiveness of Truvada and Miraviroc in reducing symptoms of Long COVID. For more information, contact [email protected].

#covidconscious The CDC's wastewater numbers are COOKED. That graph is not viral counts, it is a standard deviation above a rolling 12mo baseline. That means the only way that line goes up is if one year is WORSE than the year before. A year that is AS BAD gets marked "very low" since SD is low!

From the American Heart Association on #LongCovid: "exercise training . . .may be an effective strategy to facilitate improvement in symptoms" With absolutely no guidelines to avoid inducing Post External Malaise. Just claim that it can be done. WHAT A JOKE www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

If you’re living with ME/CFS, long COVID, or want to volunteer as a ‘healthy control’ for medical research studies, becoming an AusME Registry participant is the simplest way to get involved in research! Sign up today and make a difference! vist.ly/3n8849a vist.ly/3n8849c

Terrorizing women, infants, children, and men who work for their families. Such bravery. So much pride in what they do that they have to mask up and hide their shameless eyes. Except for the guy wearing glasses. They don't seem to help him tell the difference between a murderer and a mom.

New Yorkers with Long COVID - Stimulating autophagy with an mTOR inhibitor might turn out to be a really promising way to deal with the condition (see www.healthrising.org/blog/2025/02...) want to be in a clinical trial?

Zweibrücken-based researchers show that fragments from viral surface proteins, including those of SARS-CoV-2, can activate or block human immune receptors called FPRs, revealing a surprising new way viruses may steer innate immune responses. www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

Our hearts are with our Diné relatives impacted by the Oak Ridge Fire. As evacuations continue, CSVANW is donating N95 masks and air purifiers. Deep gratitude to Becki Jones and all who embody the spirit of care and protection. We heal through collective action, for each other and the land.

This is an underappreciated point. In healthcare right now there is a big push to combat staff burnout via social and wellness initiatives, but from my view the HCWs most likely to complain of burnout are the ones that most likely have long Covid.

If you’re like me & better with a video than IKEA instruction sheet, you’ll find this so much more helpful in guiding your Corsi-Rosenthal box building. Great how details explained so you get it right the first time, unlike my IKEA desk. Cost: $65 US $88 CDN. WOW. Love that he’s wearing N95 too 🙌😷

This is why I’m still masking and so are my adult children. OTC testing is too expensive. My daughter works in a school and tests weekly because she’s exposed to #COVID all the time. www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...

FTC's Noncompete Ban Likely To Die On Appeal Under Trump Most noncompetes forbid employees from working for a competing firm for a certain amount of time after leaving, ostensibly to protect the employer’s investment in training and trade secrets. #PINKS www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

It was only 5 months ago that Trump said he would only go after the worst of the worst. Now they are disappearing people including U.S. citizens. Next they want to create a national database of citizens. Will states send back individual voting data? If anyone thinks they are safe, they are wrong.

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue @symonedsanders.bsky.social is calling out the United States of Ridiculousness we find ourselves living in these days.

Planned Parenthood is the only place for many Americans to access things like Pap smears, and routine health maintenance and cancer prevention. Anyone who thinks they just provide abortions or mostly provide abortions doesn’t know anything
