🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse. Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.

I've done science at DOE labs since 1996. This DOE post on LinkedIn from Trump's administration makes me so angry and sad. I hope we all survive these four years. I can say, at the labs, we're doing our best to keep the science programs going.

"The NFL, which has deals with X and Meta, told the New England Patriots to shut down their Bluesky account." I'm not saying we fight every crazy thing. Every "trial balloon." But we observe and tell the crazy things, to prevent the gaslighting from working on us.

From @democracydocket.com - Trump signed an executive order known as "Schedule F" that stripped thousands of federal employees of job protections, making it easier to dismiss them for political disloyalty. Federal workers sued to challenge the order.

More pro-MAGA propaganda from TikTok. This whole thing has been choreographed to flatter Trump's ego.

"Hoping that Trump fails is not a plan. We must develop and foster new movements, structures, tactics, platforms and leaders to oppose Trump and articulate a positive vision. In most democratic political systems, this is referred to as the opposition."

Guys, pay attention. SCOTUS is not elected but YOUR REPS are. The US House has a 1 Republican majority. This is an attempt to dismantle the ACA piece by piece. Let your reps know that the ACA is critical to the health of our country. #ProtectACA #ProtectMedicaidExpansion #Cancerscreenings

you win the internet with this one! "...demonstrating pro-social behavior in the hope that others would notice and mirror it, one of the fucking building blocks of any kind of society, ..." Like a friend said to some other dolt on social media today, "...because we're trying to live in a society."
