holy crap .... Another Town Hall(s) Goes Off the Rails – Oregon 2nd District Edition talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/anoth...

“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” –Howard Zinn. I hate seeing my fellow Americans afraid. Remember your birthright my friends. This is our country, our government, the people’s, not theirs. Don’t be afraid. Speak your minds! Don’t ever give up your power.

this message is for Gov Mills of Maine. Hi. TY. Love you. 💕⭐️

NEW: The CDC is currently removing all the influenza resources from their website during the worst flu season in decades.

When the dictator of North Korea has the moral high ground, things aren’t great.

Imagine if university presidents instead of cowering, called up their faculty too speak in a round-the-clock marathon across the nation about how their research serves every American who has ever faced illness and disease.

NO ONE voted to cut cancer research.

Between this and the “SAVE” Act, this doesn’t bode well for future elections.

Well, well...look who's once again hunched over in a posture of primate subservience.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

Musk wouldn’t have taken questions in the Oval Office and looked like a cornered criminal if the pressure and attention wasn’t building. Don’t stop highlighting that the richest man in the world is taking over government. Keep talking. Paper your city if you have to. Do not give in.

I just—I can’t even. It’s like we woke up In another dimension. What the actual fuck?

Private security agents (armed) blocked members of Congress from entering federal buildings. It is clear that what DOGE is doing is illegal—the courts have said as much—but they arw not desisting, and no one is coming to arrest Musk or his minions. What good are laws if no one enforces them?

Um. It’s almost like they’re trying to control the news.

is it woke to want to end cancer?

Cool. We don’t need firefighters. Not like parts of the country are literally burning or anything.

*credit card* debt? he’s carrying more than a million in fucking *credit card debt*?!? that’s even fucking stupider than at least 50 fucking percent of every other stupid and dangerous thing he believes, that’s “would be broke 5 years after winning the lottery” stupid

SCOOP: FBI director nominee Kash Patel disclosed he received up to $5M in shares of a mysterious entity in the Cayman Islands called Elite Depot. Elite Depot is a parent organization of fast-fashion giant Shein, according to corporate records I reviewed www.wired.com/story/kash-p...

::MEASLES OUTBREAK IN TEXAS:: A large measles outbreak is rapidly escalating in Texas incl Gaines, Lubbock, and Lynn counties where vaccination rates are low. Over 30 children with confirmed infection, many of whom are hospitalized. Multiple suspected cases are under investigation.

This form of community theatre is used all over the world for social and political activism, conflict resolution, and community building.

US immigration is gaming Google to create a mirage of mass deportations

NEW: I heard from federal employees across various agencies about the internal chaos they're experiencing because of Trump and how they feel going forward in their jobs. A clear theme? They are scared - and also pissed off and hunkering down to fight. "Fuck that." www.huffpost.com/entry/federa...

President Trump is considering declaring a national “economic emergency” to justify implementing a series of universal tariffs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency.

Trump is considering executive action to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education

America has been taken hostage by a convicted criminal who is supposed to be sitting behind bars.

Neither Donald Trump nor Elon Musk has the authority to dissolve USAID. Shutting it down is dangerous and must be stopped. Not only will this deteriorate U.S. leadership globally, it makes it much more likely that future disease outbreaks will reach our shores.

"Elon Musk is not an elected member of the government. He is running the Department of Governmental Efficiency. ... It is not a government agency. It has never been created by Congress. It has no legal authority.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

"...we have a thug in charge of the United States and if we don't wake up, we may not have a United States" Preach, Jasmine.

Just, um... yeah. "The White House referred ProPublica to the State Department. The State Department said to direct all questions about USAID to the agency itself. USAID did not reply to our emails. Much of its communications staff was let go in the last week." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Again: Trump just ordered 2 dams open to levels that would’ve flooded areas and farms, without warning, all to back up the lies he told about the fires — and the rivers don’t even flow to LA. Locals panicked and they backed off. sjvwater.org/decision-to-...

It’s so wild watching the least qualified person ever to lead the Pentagon talking about being “merit-based” with a straight face.
