Huh... Republicans say they want more US manufacturing, but they're not willing to do the manufacturing work. Kinda like working in chicken processing plants or agricultural fields, or jobs in other industries perceived as hard/gross/thankless? "Factory work for thee but not for me," it seems.

The NSF has stopped funding research into disinformation, a disinformation researcher highlighted why this is such a bad idea: “We know false information is out there, we know it spreads widely, and it’s important for people’s health and for democracy to understand what we can do about it.”

They'll do this, but they refuse to invest in a power grid that keeps Texans cool in the summer and warm in the winter, instead just shrugging (or fleeing to Cancun 👀) when the grid fails repeatedly. $210M for an anti-abortion system to surveil women. They really do hate us.

The Columbine High School mass shooting happened today in 1999. Those affected by it are in our hearts especially today. We're angry they must live in a world where some elected officials are too cowardly to protect children. Some Columbine survivors' children are living through school shootings 🤬

Hmmm, is it the searching of people's phones at the border, or tourists locked up for weeks with no trial? Tariffs?🧐 Nobody wants to travel to the US anymore. Congrats, Republicans, on tanking $$$$ industries like tourism, foreign students, and research. @data.ft.com @financialtimes.com 📉

How did we get here? One path was thinking we're a democracy when, in fact, the Senate gives the 600,000 Wyoming residents as much of a voice as 40 million Californians. We're coming for these broken systems. (👀 #ElectoralCollege) #GrabEmByTheMidterms #TakeBackTheSenate

What does Elon Musk's #Grok (they claim it's bias-free) say about the #SAVEAct? Basically, it's a sh!tshow for voters and voter registration offices: It'll be CHAOS on Day 1. Deployed military and US citizens living abroad? ZERO chance of registering in-person unless you're 💰💰💰.

We hope senators and advocates like @brennancenter.bsky.social will talk about the #SAVEAct's requirement to force every American to register to vote IN PERSON. This is impossible for many US citizens: deployed military (😲), ppl who are disabled, rural folks w/no transpo, and citizens living abroad!
