It’s been 27 days since ICE sent Andry (the make-up artist with “mom” & “dad” tattoos that ICE claimed were TdA tattoos) to be imprisoned in El Salvador. Thank you @repyassansari.bsky.social, @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social, and @repdexteror.bsky.social for not forgetting him.

We want to celebrate the South's heritage! Oh, you mean the terrific music? No, not that. The great food? Uh, no. The literature? The art? No, none of that. Just the treason and white supremacy. Just the treason and white supremacy? Yep, just the treason and white supremacy. You know, "heritage."

When a firefighter dies on duty, a small team of federal workers is often called on to pinpoint what went wrong and identify how to avoid similar accidents. But Trump is firing nearly all of the employees responsible for conducting those reviews.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

i think people are missing the forest for the trees with this one. RFK Jr wants complete centralized knowledge of every American's health in order to exact control on what medications are allowed and in order to fabricate "evidence" for each and all of his nonsense theories.

Republicans in Congress have done a lot wrong, but their unforgivable political sin, in my book, is their conscious decision that making every American's life worse is an acceptable price to pay for not being primaried. They know what Trump is doing to America, and it doesn't matter to them.

See this is what I mean. Mississippi is a state with a 40% Black population. African American candidate Mike Espy garnered nearly 45% of the vote in the 2020 General Election for the U.S. Senate. Why isn’t there a 10 yr Dem plan for organizing Mississippi? Why concede the state w/a 40% Black pop?

NEW: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has declared April 2025 as Confederate Heritage Month. He did so at the behest of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a neo-Confederate organization that espouses “Lost Cause” ideology, which whitewashes the role of slavery in the Civil War. 🧵

So in terms of JD Vance’s public engagements: He got booed by Vermonters skiing, couldn’t find anyone in Greenland to meet with, broke the Ohio State football trophy, and killed the beloved pope. Will any world leader ever be willing to risk meeting with him? The track record screams trouble.

Columbia's administration and Trustees saw the Tr*ump administration and its demands as an opportunity to take the actions they had been hoping to anyway. It's really the only way you can understand their actions. It was capitulation but complicity. But they ended up hoisted on their own petard.
