Mr. Kennedy said it’s an individual choice as to whether or not to vaccinate. Then he and his minions started taking that choice away by making FDA approval of some vaccines impossible.

Passage, 2007 by installation artist Cornelia Konrads #womensart #Beltane #May1st

Agreed — what distinguishes a charter school from a private one is that it operates as an arm of the state. Letting a charter school promote religion is no different than the government creating a church.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

NEW: Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it. By @jessicamiller.bsky.social, with @sltrib.com

RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM. They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone. www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200. The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money. Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

“Do your own research”? Dawg you run the CDC, it is your job to do the research for us. You don’t get to act like a podcaster anymore. You are the dog who caught the mail truck.

I have been thinking about this and one detail left out of this piece is that Marc Andreesen's development of Mosaic was funded by the National Science Foundation through U of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. www.nsf.gov/news/mosaic-...

we need to spend more time with @repdangoldman.bsky.social's clip. not a single penny toward disaster relief but TONS OF YOUR CASH to "protect" drumpf's golf habit 🧢 @mrsquirrel.bsky.social @zentrixter.bsky.social

Julia Parsons, a U.S. Navy code breaker during World War II who was among the last survivors of a top-secret team of women that unscrambled messages to and from German U-boats, has died at 104.

Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.

Another alarming, authoritarian step. Using the power of the federal government to arbitrarily punish perceived ideological opponents. “Chris Krebs’, President Donald Trump’s former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, membership in Global Entry has been revoked.”

Just beyond awful.

Right on, Senator Warren ✊🏼

This is a new image from #JWST. The bright points with spikes are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy. Everything. Else. Is. A. Galaxy.

"C-SPAN is the only network that carries events from start to finish, rather than, say, the sound bites picked up by other networks," @ktumulty.bsky.social writes. wapo.st/3YTLQ7L

Pee-Wee German pretending a 4-year-old was kidnapped and trafficked out of the country without her cancer medications as a *favor* to her mother. What a vile monster.

It really takes a lot for me to say this, but the Graham tweet is genuinely a pretty offensive thing to say.

“President Trump, whose administration has insisted it could not bring Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador to the United States, said he does have the ability to help return the wrongly deported Maryland man, but is not willing to do so” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/u...

Take a minute from your day and read this chilling story about how quickly we've gotten to where we are.

Can I please say, autistic kids and adults who AREN'T "loving contributors to our society" also don't deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby either.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

A well-oiled machine 🫠

I'm old enough to remember when pro-life GOPers would accuse working class women of having babies just to get government money. Anyone remember that, or am I nuts?

Dear god let this man cook.

Yup…

‼️‼️

How does Trump and his BaghdadBarbie not see that by loudly protesting the plan to list Tariffs as an added tax to goods is a tacit admission in itself? Keep going #DumpTrump

UPS plans to fire 20,000 people before the end of the year, in the midst of a Trump-induced drop in deliveries from Amazon, the postal service’s biggest customer.

Right now, the President of the United States is serving as “Chief Crypto Advocate” to a shady business entity called DT Marks DEFI LCC. Trump not only promotes the brand, but can shape U.S. cryptocurrency policy to directly enrich himself and his billionaire buddies—funded by taxpayer money.

A new community-based tracker reveals how quickly the Trump administration is advancing policies that erode civil rights, healthcare access and worker protections.

"It’s not going to stop with Dugan. It’s not even going to stop with judges. The administration’s position is that state and local officials must assist the federal government in its immigration crackdown or face prosecution." — @snipy.bsky.social

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better.

Speaking to NPR in his first media interview since his detention, lawful permanent U.S. resident Mohsen Mahdawi finds peace in meditation and hopes "America will fulfill its promise."

Mom & minor daughters are citizens who just moved from MD to Oklahoma. This statement from the Mom should be read, absorbed & circulated. ICE cannot be allowed to terrorize vulnerable families. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social kfor.com/news/local/w...

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

Global News, CTV, and CBC are all calling it for the liberals. GO CANADA!!

No apologies necessary.

Now we have the answer. The original story was legit then Bezos backed down.

📌Hold on, goddammit: If tariffs are so good for our economy, why doesn't the White House want us to see what they are actually costing us??????

Do CBP officials have the authority to search your phone at the border? The short answer is yes. Here’s what you can do to protect your digital life while at the US border.

This is what courage looks like. Kudos to the team at 60 Minutes.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.
