THIS!

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election. Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

This is a scandal. Protect Social Security. Fire Elon Musk.

The law is still the law.

Kamala won’t run for POTUS again in 2028. She will be Governor of California 2026. These are her transits for election night. Transit North Node is conjunct her Saturn and Midheaven. This is major!

"Presidential profit" is a phrase our founders explicitly tried to prevent. Yet here we are, with Trump and his allies grifting every dollar they can get using the highest office in America to do it. www.axios.com/2025/05/02/t...

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

If Amazon caved to the felon regarding posting the cost of items with the tariffs, then other businesses that are not beholden to a felon should actually do that. Consumers will reward your honesty.

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977. Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

20 federal immigration agents mistakenly raided the Oklahoma City home of a family of U.S. citizens, held the mother and her three daughters at gun point, and seized the family’s phones, laptops, and life savings. Agents from the FBI, ICE, and DHS were cruel and abusive, treating the mother and…

COURAGE. STRENGTH. INSPIRATION. Joseph Peters has autism and lives independently in Hackensack, New Jersey. He lives in his own apartment, assisted by an aide. Medicaid is absolutely vital to Joseph. Cuts of any kind would be utterly devastating to Joseph’s quality of life, and to the…

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Bravo! 🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏 Larry David's response to Bill Maher having dinner with the loathsome piece of shit. Larry David: My Dinner With Adolf tinyurl.com/ydc64ssn

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe, vulnerable, and alone. But when we find ourselves surrounded by courageous people and brave institutions, we can more easily find courage inside ourselves. This is the beauty of solidarity.

“‘Pretty soon, within the next couple of weeks, everything regarding IT and cyber at the department will start to operationally reach a point of no return,’ one source, who was part of a team that managed these systems at HHS for a decade before being part of the RIF, alleges to WIRED.”

WATCH: “That is not how this works. We have a process in this country. A DUE process.” 🇺🇸

"the government is losing its capacity to measure how American society is functioning, making it much harder for elected officials or others to gauge the nature and scale of the problems we are facing and the effectiveness of solutions being deployed against them." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Dr. Seuss would be a better Secretary of Health than RFK Jr

Goldman: "Think about whether any of us want to vote a certain way but bc we fear for our personal safety, we decide to vote differently. We are no longer representing our constituents. We are representing something else more like the bully threatening us. That is more like Vladimir Putin operates"

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

White women, do better.

This man, I say again this man represents what immigrants can do for our country.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

The European Union and China are now starting negotiations to abolish EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This is a major strategic failure for the United States.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS. (Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

Trump is not capable of admitting that he’s done anything wrong. A glaring sign of weakness.

Day one or one day…

We the people are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover. On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy! Save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #April5 #HandsOff

Hands Off Aliso Viejo, Ca

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

See? Hope is in the air. This Saturday, April 5, is a national day of action. Hands Off! protests against the fascist Trump/Musk regime will take place from coast to coast. For information about the protest nearest you and other ways to take action, handsoff2025.com?utm_source=s....
