Who’s gonna read the 2,300,000 replies lmao.

I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

The practice of law is the least diverse profession in the United States. A supermajority of lawyers are cishet white men. We need (a lot) more diversity, not less. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

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.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

New polling from Leger suggests only 30% of Canadians view the US as an ally, with a near-similar share viewing our neighbours to the south as an enemy nation I break it down here 👇 open.substack.com/pub/canadian...

Reminder: today is another day closer to America having universal healthcare. 64% of Americans support Medicare for All. We will win. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.

There's less and less Russian armor showing up at the front these days, with Russians compensating by instead sending meat-hordes to absorb Ukrainian ammo. But the armor that Russians do have left.. My lord..

You don't fire Judge Advocates General unless you plan on issuing unlawful orders. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

Your periodic reminder that, 150 years ago, a desire to read fiction was considered both a sign of mental illness in women and a symptom of it. The groups devoted to banning some books because they're "immoral", "obscene", etc. are just growths from the same bad root.

BREAKING: As Elon Musk said on X would be happening, I can now report that all federal employees are receiving an email directing them to provide “approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week.” It directs them not to send any classified information and is due by 11:59p Monday.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

NEW: The email went out about 30 minutes ago.

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

Fracking is a proven cause of earthquakes. Fifteen recent earthquakes in five days, linked to fracking, are having serious implications for ranchers in British Columbia— including livestock stress, premature births and water shortages. thenarwhal.ca/bc-ranchers-...

Why are people drawn to RFK's false promises? Why do they have so little trust in medical institutions and why are they willing, even eager, to see them dismantled? We've enforced desperation on millions of now very manipulable people––and we're all now paying for it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CxG...

These NIH funding cuts threaten research happening in Delaware on heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke recovery, & more. This is what this administration is focused on. Not lowering your household costs.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

“Operation Whirlwind” What’s Happening Now? In 2025, Operation Whirlwind was launched under Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin to investigate alleged threats against employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The EU stepping in when the Russian compromised leader of the United States won't.

BREAKING: Donald Trump purged the Military to install loyalists, his Administration suffered a significant loss at the Supreme Court, and Republicans are being held accountable by their constituents. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

Fired federal workers share the crucial jobs no longer being done Six people describe what they were doing to benefit public health, safety and the environment www.sciencenews.org/article/fire...

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

Ignorance did this. Insanity perpetuates it. Long-term effects include brain damage, hearing loss, and immune system suppression. #VaccinesSaveLives
