We definitely need new leaders. How about AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Jamie Raskin, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Bennett, Jason Crow (to name a few)?

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

The Grace Year is an amazing book - the modern Lord of the Flies. Ask your local independent bookstore to order it for you and read it in one night like I did.

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

Didn't think I'd get to feel what it was like to live in Alexandria when the great library was burned

Primary every one of them

@schumer.senate.gov Stand up and block the bill.

AOC on senate Dems caving and backing the CR: “A wide sense of betrayal.”

Every. Single. Word. 🎯 🎯 🎯 shorturl.at/SKwi7

What's happening to academia in the US is straight out of the authoritarian playbook, and happening at breakneck speed. The link by @chrischirp.bsky.social brilliantly summarises this and the need to fight back 💪 open.substack.com/pub/christin...

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

😂😅

Women make up 51.4% of SC's population, outvote men, and are the majority of the electorate—yet they hold just 2 of 46 seats in the Senate & 20 of 124 in the House. The numbers don’t lie: SC has a representation crisis. #SCPol #WomenInPolitics

All republicans go to Hell.

Left-wing censorship was a fantasy, but the right-wing censorship is real, unconstitutional, and murderous. There was no majority anti-conservative social media bias or casual forced use of words like “birthing person.” But stripping protest rights and official language is actual deadly censorship

Trump’s withdrawal of foreign aid and dismantling USAID will cause annually: 18 million cases of malaria, 166k deaths; 200k children paralyzed with polio; 1 million children not treated for severe acute malnutrition, often fatal; >28k new cases of diseases such as Ebola and Marburg Why? Why??

The leaders of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, are with 🇺🇦 Ukraine

One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy. “It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

Kinzinger: There’s a reason that every Trump cabinet member has had to tweet how strong he was today. Because they got the memo from The White House that they better come out and support Trump because this is a really bad day for them and they know it

Good will prevail. But only if we all stand up to be counted. Fuck evil.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

This is how the hostile takeover of our government and armed robbery of our money is going. One month in and they're completed 1/3rd of the Project 2025 agenda. www.project2025.observer?utm_source=w...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

So when does the Golden Age of America start because right now I'm just seeing a lot of good people losing their jobs and a lot of planes crashing

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

You might be MAGA if... you rage about government spending, but ignore the trillions added to the debt under Trump. You might be MAGA if... you love “freedom of religion,” but only if it’s Christianity.

"Every American should be concerned when those in power attempt to reshape media access to serve their own interests. Press access should not depend on whether those in power approve of the questions being asked or the words chosen to convey the information."

Scoop: The databases powering DOGE.gov are insecure, and people outside the government have already pushed their own updates to the site to prove it: www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

House Republicans have released their proposed budget. It’s as bad as I imagined. It puts a giant bullseye on health care coverage, while giving at least $4 *TRILLION* in tax breaks to billionaires and corporations. The American people need to know the stakes—and how Democrats are pushing back.

No one expects Democrats to snap their fingers and create change overnight, but what we do expect is for them to stop acting like spineless managers of the status quo and start fighting like they actually believe in something beyond protecting the billionaire donor class that captured both parties.

"The United States is in a constitutional crisis" Agree: 54% Disagree: 27% Unsure: 19% YouGov / Feb 6, 2025 / n=1106

Among the many avenues Democrats need to be pushing *now* is: Trump, Musk, and their Republican enablers just compromised the personal and financial info of every American. This isn't hyperbole; it already happened. They broke all the cybersecurity protocols and are concealing what they're doing.

Vive le Canada!

Hi RFK Jr put baby animals in a blender. @booker.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov you should probably make this a deal breaker for all of humanity’s sake.

And we are all on this doomed boat.

Caroline Kennedy called her cousin RFK Jr. a "predator" ahead of his confirmation hearings and urged senators to reject his HHS secretary nomination. cnn.it/4hwuF38
