Estonia Eurovision 2025 + Netherlands Eurovision 2024 = Controversy: www.aussievision.net/post/f-ck-th...

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

“But people will eventually accept it, even if it’s unpopular” is a comment I saw so many times this morning. That’s what we call a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is your moment. Galvanize and organize people who are unhappy. Don’t make them feel helpless to stop it by saying no one will stop it.

Hey, look, here’s @chriswarcraft.bsky.social out there walking the walk www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

Please join me and 42 other people who've volunteered to be peer-to-peer fundraisers for GSAFE during commshareswi's The Big Share Mar 3 and 4. Fundraisers offer friends and family the chance to show their support for Wisconsin LGBTQ youth with fundraising pages and inviting people to share too!1/3

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

Um hiya y'all! I'd really appreciate some support on this fundraiser. I'm terrified- for good reason- and there's only so much I can do about it. gofund.me/ec411924

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I know cruelty is the point but… man this one is just especially ghoulish. They say they’re doing this to “protect the kids” but it’s always been so painfully obvious what the truth is. The want trans kids to die, to disappear, to be erased.

Super Bowl USAID Save Foreign Aid

A bunch of needs in labcoats: "If we comply with the fascists demands they'll surely let us keep up our research" Those same scientists months or years before: "Eh, I'll skip history class. I wanna be a scientists. Not a historian lol"

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Just did this to my Senator in as Southern an accent as I could dredge up.

This is a list of blockbuster drugs in 2024. Guess how many can trace their origins to NIH funded research? All of them.

Laws. The word you're looking for here is "laws."

The United States by virtue of a bipartisan commitment to biomedical research created one of the most vibrant, productive research ecosytems in the world. People came from all over to study here, do research here. It was a monumental accomplishment by both parties. 1/

I strongly encourage readers of indie queer and especially trans books to start using itchio as more of us authors move away from Amazon. Authors get a bigger cut, you can tip, and, most importantly, you will actually own your ebooks instead of just licensing them from Amazon.

You must understand that in the financial services industry—not only the big banks, but also the tech platforms that want to replace the big banks—there is no greater danger than a federal agency empowered to tell them, “no, you can’t steal from your customers, actually”

Because in the United States, it’s legal to feed chicken shit to cattle. That’s why. That’s literally the reason www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

US higher education had become a world-class sector, one of the greatest strengths of this country, even with the amount of work still to be done in making it more just and equitable. But a cabal of mediocre whites, out of pure spite and belligerent stupidity, have decided to choke it to death.

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze. I worked at an organization that -helped veterans who have lost a limb -Assisted elderly and disabled people -Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

PSA: They’re killing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it protects you from them.

Trump shut down the entire refugee resettlement system. Except for white Afrikaners, apparently www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

As (I'm sorry I can't remember who) pointed out, governing by EO is v v weak. If he were a strong president, he'd do actual real legislation. The q of how enforceable the EOs are, what happens if they're ignored is for lawyers; he has the military & other mechanisms, in any case. But we fight back.

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

Senator Schatz, @schatz.bsky.social, rejects idea that Dems should wait for Trump to touch 'most popular' programs to fight. "I'm not going to just wait until they touch the ACA. That's the kind of pundit-brain, poll-tested bullshit that got us into this mess." www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

Reporters need to say who nominated the judge in every tweet. Let's quit with the pretense. W Bush appointee.

The tech industry had one good song in the late nineties and since then you've made nothing but garbage. Learn from one hit wonders and maybe practice a little humility

The House Republicans listed below are vulnerable in 2026. They will only vote to cut our benefits if they think no one is watching. If you live in these districts, or know anyone who does, CALL NOW and tell them to keep their hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!

It's beyond re-segregation. This administration wants to erase/disappear whole groups of people. Withdrawing federal funding for gender-affirming care? They are trying to eliminate transgender people. A list of fed employee "DEI targets"? They are trying to eliminate Black people.

"If the 'DOGE' endeavor is working, why can’t the White House just tell the truth about what it's doing?" www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Donald Trump signed an executive order claiming there are only two sexes, male and female J. Ben Morton always believed the same thing and spent 32 years thinking he was male — until he got a call that exploded his life Here's his incredible — and timely — new piece on @huffpost.com Personal

a 30-second ad for sunday's Super Bowl will cost more than $8 million. in that same 30 seconds, we treat 73,250 gallons of water. it costs $241.

You heard ‘em - time to use the Senate phone lines as therapy

I honestly think everyone on the left really needs to watch this video, because it kind of explains in depth why being quieter on things like trans rights is such a gigantic mistake rn. In short trump won bc right wingers showed up, not bc anyone moved right.

If you are a cis het white guy and you are in any sort of position of influence or power, now is the time to use that privilege to help *literally everyone else around you* as our country tries to erase everyone who doesn't look like you. Even the smallest gestures have big impact.
