I want to see you out there tomorrow #NoKings Protest EVERYWHERE USA Let's see if we can beat #HandsOff 100,000 strong in New York City. #peoplehavethepower

Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?

Online NOAA climate data hubs serving 27 states — from Colorado and the Dakotas to Louisiana and Texas — have gone dark after a lapse in funding. The cause: expired contracts. This is becoming a pattern at NOAA 🧵 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

We wanted to understand the Constitutional arguments in favor of ending birthright citizenship. So we talked to three anti-vaccine Jeanine Pirro viewers at an Arby's in Toms River.

🚨Here’s what 3.7M pieces of pro-Kremlin propaganda gets you. DFRLab & @checkfirst.network just launched the latest in our #Pravdanetwork series, exposing Russia's sprawling operation pushing coordinated disinfo across 80+ countries, fueled by automation & AI. 🔗 bit.ly/4cC0XIG

Many data sets held by NOAA are being "retired" in may, including datasets relevant to ocean sciences and climate. If you have need for these data, or are an archivist, it would be good to download this now. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY. www.nesdis.noaa.gov/about/docume...

It's especially galling that Trump administration stops construction of an offshore wind farm, purportedly because it would hurt whales (no evidence that it would), on the same day it announces plans to gut the Endangered Species Act. And this runs directly counter to two big Trump goals: 🧵

The biggest shitheads you know are going after Humble Bundle for… *checks notes* … raising $12.4 million for charity????

I am old enough to remember when a movie character said "PAPERS PLEASE" it was a universally understood signifier of an evil regime

I'm sure he'll handle this really well.

The GOP: Come for the racism, stay for the sexism. We make shit up and flood the zone because races can be won on 2% margins. Lying works surprisingly well...

"If it looks like CBS is prepared to cave and settle its lawsuit, we should see a massive public shaming campaign, including protests outside CBS headquarters. That’s our First Amendment rights, not just theirs, that CBS would be flushing down the toilet." www.thebulwark.com/p/how-far-wi...

8 steps the Dem Party can take NOW. "Build a real-time archive of corruption, overreach, and executive abuse. Make it public. Make it unshakable... If you can’t hold formal hearings, hold public ones. If Congress won’t act, let the country act. This isn’t about optics — it’s about receipts."

The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid. “It’s really the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable…who need technologies to live.”

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

The President of the United States fears only those who do not fear him.

NBC News EXCLUSIVE: A deadly E. coli outbreak hit 15 states, but the FDA chose not to publicize it www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Yet another example for why Section 230 is so critical for democracy, so that people can speak about abuses of power.

The agency's annual human rights reports are being purged of references to prison conditions, political corruption and other abuses.

Online surveys/polls use the American Community Survey and the Current Population Survey to weight their samples to match the American population. All research on American attitudes and behavior (including marketing) will be damaged.

Congrats again to Sean O'Brien and Shawn Fain getting in Trumps corner. I'm sure its going to work out great for all of your unions members.

The freight guys have really started freaking out over the past 48-72 hours:

van hollen immediately elevated himself to Presidential contender and all it took was being willing to fly to El Salvador, elected Democrats be advised if one of you works up the guts to throw a punch who knows where you'll go

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness
