Came for the politics. Stayed for the juice. People, PLEASE vet who you follow. I block MAGA (the “rational/objective” types as well as the blatant ones) but I also block their followers, no matter how much ReSiSt stuff said followers have in their bio.

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities. Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient. Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.

People on Twitter complaining about lower engagement on Bluesky is a specific kind of influencer culture brain rot because I’m like my sibling in Christ the numbers aren’t real

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, *to us*

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.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

x.com/bluestein/st... Fed worker salary is 4% of fed budget Keeping feds is LESS expensive than firing/rehiring and losing services Probationary workers are not "duplicitous" They're setting up the argument "we had to cut medicaid cause we didn't fire enough feds" Why doesn't Elon do more with less

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. 🧪🧵⬇️

Did you know Michael McDonald, James Ingram, and David Pack (of Ambrosia) recorded a cover of West Side Story’s “Maria”? I just felt like you should know.

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, BITCHES. If the rich want to control everything, they can pay for everything.

Banned/challenged books are often difficult reads with jarring content, but we can't shield ourselves nor our children from the realities of the world forever - it's better to build empathy and understanding through books, especially by reading books by/about marginalized people.

Venting: I know it's asked completely innocently and I do not begrudge those who ask it, but of all vaccine-related questions I get, the one that really frustrates me is when people ask why children get so many vaccines. I know this comes from a genuine position of concern- but the framing...

My husband made me laugh so hard by telling me about a guy who was rejected by a young woman, so he started dating her mom -- and his explanation was, 'Who wouldn't rather have a Charizard than a Charmander?"

10,000 King Soopers workers are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions. Instead of negotiating in good faith, parent company Kroger has been using scabs and prioritized $7.5B in stock buybacks. Don't tell me they can't afford to pay a living wage.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s response: “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. The MTA has initiated legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York to preserve this critical program. We’ll see you in court.”

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.
