If we didn't laugh, we'd cry. Trump's self-dealing makes Warren G. Harding’s look like a child shoplifting candy.

Today marks the anniversary of the FDA’s approval of the first birth control pill—a HUGE milestone in our fight for reproductive freedom. Birth control has empowered generations of women to take control of their health and their future—but we must not forget that these rights are under attack.

May 7, 2025 Musk has taken much of our private, and supposedly protected, information for his own use. Check the annotated information in Heather Cox Richardson's latest letter. What do you think? What will we have left if something isn't done about the entire administration and minions soon.

Republicans push to sell thousands of acres of public lands in the West. That’s a ploy to enable the very rich to gain control of OUR public lands. A hard no from me.

Here is the current Secretary of Education’s letter to Harvard after it was edited by that institution. I find it unbelievable that the Trump administration nominated her. That she was confirmed is irresponsible, dangerous and appalling. The children of our country deserve better.

Elizabeth Warren: I am not in favor of handing over the keys to our Social Security Administration to a man who says that he will do whatever Donald Trump wants, whatever Elon Musk wants, no matter how much it's there just to help the billionaires. #HandsOff @warren.senate.gov

Is this how expenses are cut? Per BBC "The prison closed because it was too expensive to continue operating, according to the Federal Bureau of Prison website. It was nearly three times more costly to operate than any other federal prison, largely due to its island location." Pure nonsense. RESIST!

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said on Thursday at a conference of judges in Puerto Rico. “The threats and harassment are attacks on our democracy.” We must all stand against an administration which seeks to intemidate judges and threaten their families. Resist!

Team Trump is cutting money for deaf kids. “Pediatric deafness is a neurodevelopmental emergency. Without support, deaf and hard of hearing children do not learn to communicate, which has cascading effects on brain, language, social & occupational development.” www.tc.columbia.edu/articles/202...

I’m going to be 75 this year. I sang this song LOUDLY at protests when it was new. Follow the words to the end, it still has great meaning for all of us who stand for our country, freedom, support the constitution and dispise those who are trying to take it all from us.

Here’s the thing about America: you’re free to hold and espouse shitty political beliefs. The KKK wants me and my family and everyone who looks like me dead. And here in America I will defend their rights to have this pos world view cause it’s the same constitution that protects my right to slam em

This both is moral and also practically sound posturing and agenda setting if you care about workers in America and esp if you’re the leader of a noteworthy union with some political muscle and it is a shame that other big names in that sphere couldn’t seem to crack the very easy code on seeing that

NEW: Donald Trump has long railed against everything from low-flow showerheads to LED lightbulbs. After failed attempts to undo appliance regulations in his first term, he may have found a new end-run to achieve his goal — but for now confusion reigns. By @peterelkind.bsky.social
