“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Reminder: I love being BLACK…

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

He nails it.

Kendrick Lamar has 22 Grammies and a damn Pulitzer if you don’t know who he is that’s a You problem

they can take over the entire country but they can never actually be cool and it will eat at them forever

Neo-Nazis appeared in Lincoln Heights (metro Cincinnati) Ohio and got ran out of dodge… but not before locals stole and burned their swastika flag in the street.

Because in the United States, it’s legal to feed chicken shit to cattle. That’s why. That’s literally the reason www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

Silicon Valley be all like "You didn't want to buy our monkey jpgs and conduct meetings with VR headsets, I guess we have no choice but to start WW3"

Eat the rich is coming

There are over 30 million people on this website, if you don't think folks could effectively organize and make a difference, you're delusional.

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

NIH has cut billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

please stop bringing Ye's trash from Over There to Over Here

‪He's not a king. He's acting like one and praying people won't challenge his delusion. DON'T FALL FOR IT.

If anyone whines that we "self-segregated ourselves from X" and "aren't in the conversation anymore," feel free to show them this screenshot of my "For You" tab.

A professor put it to me more simply: The elimination of a federal agency without congressional approval renders Congress USELESS, which means the only form of representative government at the national level is useless.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

🚨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.

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

Teen Vogue bringing the kind of journalism the New York Times can't be bothered with.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

"Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old former camp counselor who called himself 'Big Balls' on LinkedIn before being tapped to do the bidding of a billionaire, held a call with SBA staff ..."

I've seen enough of Doechii's creative direction to have the strong opinion that someone should facilitate her making a musical.

Just saw this posted on FB and had to share.

I ❤️ video games no other form of entertainment can make me laugh, cry, and cheer while being amazed by the art, music, dialogue and challenges that games can provide It is such a wonderful form of creativity that I think we sometimes take for granted but it’s nice to acknowledge and appreciate

We did a training on DEI this week and this is spot on. This is what DEI is…

“Perverse scene of despair and violence” - Caroline Kennedy The sick pattern of collecting animal carcasses and now hearing he put baby mice in a blender is a sign of someone sadistic and unhinged—not to be trusted with lives and safety. HARD NO ON RFK JR.

So Trump hurt America's relationship with Canada and made markets wobble all to "get" Canada to do things Canada had announced back in December in coordination with the Biden administration, do I have that right?

#Voices4Victory #ProudBlue If you didn’t listen to the Action Call last night with Indivisible & Move On, here is a link to the recording. It really helped me gain some hope & energy. We have some clear action items. Call or visit Senators - No on Vought www.youtube.com/live/55yf3As...

Hillary Clinton literally lost an election for installing a private server in her own damned house.

…and I don’t understand why before the election, it was like pulling teeth to get most media to admit this obvious fact…

We are at this inflection point in American democracy being no more bec a majority of adult white people can’t handle black & brown (& women) being treated w/dignity & equality to their humanity, & most white Americans would rather destroy🇺🇸democracy & their comfort than see that come into fruition.

I need more!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 #doechii
