Love to see it!

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 32 MILLION! 👏 LETS DO THIS!

They Worked to Prevent Death. The Trump Administration Fired Them. “Public health teams are being gutted, imperiling efforts to safeguard organ donation & prevent maternal & infant death. Many workers expressed fear at what would happen to work they left behind” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The Trump administration blocked key parts of the federal government’s apparatus for funding biomedical research, effectively halting progress on much of the country’s future work on illnesses like cancer and addiction despite a federal judge’s order to release grant money.

"We [the Executive Branch] *are* the federal law" is a dark horse candidate for most Hitlerian Trump quote from 2025. Surprised this did not get even more media coverage and provoke even more outrage. The literal, actual truth, of course, is that the federal government has three co-equal branches.

DOGE's only public ledger is riddled with mistakes. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

We've had reports that M&S has had so many calls asking them to stop advertising with GB News that there's now a dedicated team handling messages about this issue 👏👏👏 Lines are open from *9am to 4pm* today and the number is 0333 014 8000 Let's keep this going!

“What have I done wrong? I’ve advocated for people who have been harmed, and now I’ve been harmed in the process” Women at a top London university face disciplinary action after criticising the university for keeping a predatory professor in post: goodlaw.social/hcu5

This weekend's reading. The Byline Times website is reported to have been suffering from a DDOS attack. Someone doesn't like us reading their articles. So buy a copy. Or subscribe and they'll post it to you. 👇👇

This is why we need independent media outlets funded by the public. Our Byline Times story is still available to read despite attempts to suppress it.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Mitch McConnell is the new Neville Chamberlain. #DictatorDonald

Turns out Musk and DOGE are wildly unpopular. Even Republicans are concerned that this unelected, foreign billionaire has too much influence on the White House. reut.rs/41t8XYQ

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

A Jan. 6 defendant from North Carolina, pleaded not guilty to federal charges of "Production of Child Pornography" and "Possession of Child Pornography," & Trump & his administration wanna pardon this guy? WTF, America! Did you vote for that, MAGA? whyy.org/articles/don...

Okay peeps …. Now we are getting somewhere … this is effective messaging … youtube.com/shorts/ajzmv...

This is hope. This is the future. And this is why we fight—for this young man, for our children, for all that’s yet to come!

They cannot withstand four years of this. We gotta get real comfortable with radical annoyance. Get vocal. Get involved. Show up. They will buckle. Doesn’t have to be all of them. Just enough. McCain was enough for one vote. But it’s going to take unprecedented fortitude to salvage our democracy.

Apparently it was not a deal breaker to reelect Trump but now 8 out of 10 Americans were against his 1/6 pardons. Go figure. apnews.com/article/trum...

Andrea Jenkyns, ex-Tory MP who lost her seat in 2024 declared that she was "not a proponent of elected mayors" Is standing as, erm, a mayoral candidate for the Greater Lincolnshire combined authority Marvellous how failed politicians are attracted to the remnants of power like moths to the flame

The most inept, corrupt, and cruel administration in history loves to watch other people suffer. They get off on it, especially pukes like Stephen Miller. The Republican Party is evil and they must be stopped before it’s too late, but HOW are we going to do it? www.thebulwark.com/p/the-cruelt...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Montreal shows us how it’s done!! 💙

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Well, in a month of crazy, the confirmation of conspiracy theory loving Kash Patel is as crazy as it gets. Judges and juries are now the only line of defence. He’s going to go on a revenge spree. Brace.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

The Peace Plan: Get the fuck out of our country. #StandWithUkraine

I have to congratulate Canadian stores and companies in adjusting so quickly and letting us know what products are Canadian. Buy Canadian! 🇨🇦

Yes, Donald. The USA has fallen to tyranny. You’ve collapsed the Constitution. Torched American soft power. Allowed a drug-addled menace to trash any and all govt departments. Risked the world’s health and safety. Betrayed your citizens and your allies. Hand claps don’t come any slower than this.

Aaaand… here’s what you COULD have won!

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

Truth

Without friends

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

I love the slightly random nature of some of the architectural sculptures on Glasgow's older buildings. In this case, three putti operating a printing press with a lion's head above them. Cont./ #glasgow #architecture #sculpture #putti #architecturephotography

For people wondering when the right began falling in love with Putin: It was after the passage of the first anti-gay law in Russia in 2013. That was the moment GOP elected officials and rightwing Christian grifters started showing up on Fox to heap praise Putin. www.theguardian.com/world/2013/j...
