Montana's new "abortion trafficking" bill could criminalize women traveling across state lines for abortions. It would ban transporting "an unborn child... with the intent to obtain an abortion that is illegal" in Montana, or assisting anyone in doing so reason.com/2025/02/26/m...

Oh crap. Here we go….

The Trump Admin to America: get sick and good luck. Hope you don’t die. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

There are people who voted for Donald Trump because they hoped he would restore the 2019 economy of low prices and low unemployment and unfortunately they are learning he has no interest in helping them but lots of plans to punish park rangers, African children, FBI agents, media outlets, teachers…

Just a reminder #BOYCOTTLIST

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

“Staff for U.S. Sens. Steve Daines and Tim Sheehy and U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke did not respond to emails and messages for comment.”

"Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Dan Sullivan (Alaska), Jim Moran (Kansas) and Steve Daines (Mont.) were all co-sponsors of this law. None responded to requests for comment."

Today's moment of zen

We need your help. At Merrymac we have almost 100 bird friends so we’re obviously terrified by the spread of bird flu. We’ve been scrambling to get new procedures, equipment, and structures in place but it has been expensive. Can you donate to help us save our flock? donorbox.org/mmfs-protect...

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

We’re all going to die.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Yaasss!!

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

🚨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.

Neither the mainstream press nor our political system seem to have digested the fact that the U.S. president is trying to illegally annex a NATO ally using economic coercion.

Marco Rubio's new acting undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, ladies and gentlemen.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

If you’re choosing to boycott stores, and are asking “where do I shop now?” Please, consider thrifting. Join buy nothing groups. Barter and trade with your neighbors. Learn how to repair items instead of buying new. Start a new hobby. Visit the library. Get out into nature. Only buy what you need.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right? it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC. i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Excellent post

We lost Diane. She donated her organs before she left. Let’s fill the barns with valentines. For Beth. For the critters. For all of us who value truth and magic♥️ www.gofundme.com/f/help-our-a...

Deleted apps for Instagram, Threads, & Facebook. X is private and no longer active. Eliminating the unnecessary. Cheers.🍻

For those saying it wasn't a Nazi salute. Keep posting it. Keep sharing it.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Tesla illegally dumped a bunch of toxic pollutants in the Austin area near its plant, and now Musk is jockeying for the power to keep the EPA from regulating toxic leaks just like that www.wsj.com/business/aut...

BREAKING: House Speaker Mike Johnson announces that male Republicans neutered by Donald Trump may continue to use the men's bathrooms.

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Perhaps the CEO of this company is not the person we want fiddling with government agencies and regulations.

Highly recommend this @davidcorn.bsky.social article about RFK and a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I feel sorry for the brain worm, he didn't sign up for a life in politics
