I'll never forget the first time I saw Judith Slaying Holofernes. It was in an old barn in upstate NY. The image was ripped out of an old encyclopedia and nailed to a beam support. The musty barn was full of rat poison, rope, ladders, cleavers, saws, and other sharp objects. #artasresistance

Confirmed to be an unvaxxed child. We have to talk about the foreign influence campaigns around vaccines. Hostile intelligence agencies — and their useful idiots in the US — are convincing the “do your own research” crowd to kill their children to own the libs.

These examples show how art, even from centuries ago, can inspire hope while also challenging power structures + celebrating resilience in the face of adversity. Art has always been a beacon of hope, reminding us of our shared humanity + the strength of the human spirit #artasresistance

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

To be clear: the United States Government deployed this family to a country with substandard healthcare with the promise that help would be on the way if they ever needed it. Now, Donald Trump twice denied this woman a potentially life-saving, embassy-requested medevac.

@cantwell.senate.gov Bonneville Power Administration is self-funded. It receives no money from taxpayers and funds all of its staff and programs with its power and transmission sales. What are you going to do about this?

these cabinet announcements are like an advent calendar counting down to the apocalypse

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

JUST IN: The 1st Circuit Court of appeals has *denied* the Trump administration's emergency motion to block a court order that ordered agencies to lift their spending freeze.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Did German citizens protest this much, call their government to demand action, write to the editor of their papers? I want to know what we are doing now is better, louder, and impacting.

Musk asked to access the Treasury system that pays out federal benefits. One of three things is up here: 1) rampant theft 2) crushing the poor and needy 3) all of the above

This week’s big story is the U.S. All of its major health and scientific bodies have ground to an unprecedented halt. VA hospitals can’t hire, federal research projects are stalled (or ruined), and critical information is vanishing from federal websites. Here’s what’s up:

Take a moment to reach out to your friends in non-profits. They're dedicated to their missions & the communities they serve, but they are facing immense pressure due to threats to federal funding. Your support & encouragement mean a lot during this challenging time. Remind them they’re not alone!

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

Many people don't seem to understand that most research labs operate on soft money from grants. So, "pausing grants" means labs must be shuttered because nobody will get paid. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I’m not at all surprised. 💙

Michelle Obama is done "going high". And so am I.

This is truth.

I feel so good about deleting my personal profile and my FB business profile of 5k followers. It's a relief not to constantly fill that space with my content. Instagram is up next. My people will find me. #DeleteFaceBook

Merchan made it pretty clear that if Trump hadn’t won the election, this sentence would have been different. This time, voter apathy saved Trump from prison. Hope everyone who stayed home is proud of themselves.

I got through the first seven and had to breathe in a paper bag. #risks

Just deleted my personal and business FaceBook accounts. #done #facebook #whoneedsthisshit

New to Bsky. Could anybody tell me how to stop these type of accounts from following me? I'm not their type.

I’m with Harry.
