If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

The technical geniuses at DOGE strike again

Where are the Democrats but also Where are the churches Where are the celebrities Where are the NGOs Where are the Universities Where are professional groups like AMA Where are the athletes Where are the unions What people/groups do and don’t do for next month determines our collective future

Look at my woke ye mighty and despair.

“So Elon Musk killed this program for disabled kids (illegally) because it included the word ‘transition.’ It helps them to transition from high school to work.” H/T @palafo.bsky.social, who posted the above on another platform.

17 clean energy projects will be built on former Appalachian coal mines.

“A dark day… today we all lose….” Shuttering U.S.A.I.D. is impacting the soybean industry — Tennessee’s #1 cash crop, contributing billions to our economy. More: arec.tennessee.edu/wp-content/u...

Ooo this is a good one ☺️

MAGA propaganda so bad that even russian propaganda is debunking it, what the hell is going on anymore

I hope the women who voted for Trump understand that DEI includes women. apnews.com/article/west...

A worker at an intelligence agency says unidentified outside staffers arrived to sweep the office of anything they felt was related to DEI. That included a plaque, confiscated from a supervisor’s desk, that read, “Be kind to everyone.”

aaaand now it all makes sense

Did you know that the Episcopal Church has fully divested from the fossil fuel industry? They join a growing number of faith organizations recognizing and doing something meaningful about climate change.

Tesla sales are down 41 percent in Germany, *63 percent* in France. LOL www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

We predicted it. They would turn red state National Guardsman into enforcers against the public. Greg Abbott steps right up to be the first fascist supplicant. www.newsweek.com/greg-abott-t...

This is what throwing sand in the gears looks like… More of this, please.

Donald Trump’s new State Department appointee.

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.

Trump is suddenly concerned about South Africa. Gee, I wonder where that came from.

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

I really don’t think it’s happenstance that pretty much every remaining institutional safeguard broke down within 15 years of Citizens United

Trump reversed a Biden policy that barred contracts betw the Dept of Justice & private detention centers. Federal prison contractors, the GEO Group & CoreCivic, donated to Trump's campaign & inauguration, respectively. Now, they'll profit from Trump's dehumanizing ICE raids & deportation policies.

My coworker is an immigrant from Afghanistan. She said “I survived three wars. If you have lentils and water, we can get through this. I will make sure.”

📌Three soldiers are dead tonight. Their Commander in Chief took no responsibility for it, and didn’t show a shred of empathy. He is a tiny man, a coward, completely unfit for duty, and an embarrassment to all of us who served. I spit on him.

Trump’s instinct after the tragedy was yet again to choose divisiveness. He offered not condolences but conspiracy theories Trump reacted to a crisis as an observer - and not as the president who had the responsibility of getting answers www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era
