I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

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.

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social Please, we're begging you.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

I would do it exclusively in red areas. Go where minds can be changed. Not where the choir already stands behind you !

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

“Elon Musk is a walking conflict of interest,” Craig Holman, the government affairs lobbyist at the consumer watchdog Public Citizen, said. “Over and over again, he’s just involved in governmental actions that directly and substantially impact his own financial wellbeing.”

One of the two lawsuits seeking to invalidate Elon Musk's role in the government has been assigned to ... Tanya Chutkan:

No, contrary to the t-shirts and memes, Love will not win on its own simply because. Courageous, empathetic, pissed-off people armed with sacrificial love, fully participating in the political process and engaging the broken systems around them, will win. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/stop-sayin...

Yes think about how judges are supposed to decide if things the president does are constitutional, and why the richest man in the world who just bought the election might not be into that.

ADHD means a nervous system that is easily overwhelmed and a fight or flight response outside of your control. Not your fault but you will still feel guilt, anger and shame later. You will rationalise or even try to own what happened. Making it harder to accept the truth: You are vulnerable. 1/2

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭

Gotta admit, I never really listened to Macklemore, but, he's been dropping some bangers recently.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Getting private word that a few hospitals that have paused care for trans youth are starting that care back up. If your hospital is one of them, please message me privately. Good to see the initial capitulation is receiving strong pushback.

Macklemore 👏👏👏🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

A lot of folks tend to feel like they don't know what they can do for the movement but in reality, there are so many different roles and needs within movement work that there is absolutely a place for everyone. (Shout-out to @thehrtlocker.bsky.social for making this graphic)

The Associated Press, the oldest press organization in the country. The bedrock of American free press. Was banned from White House briefings for printing Gulf of Mexico. The White House banned them for lying. Why. The fuck. Aren’t legacy media burning that place down.

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

@mcclellan.house.gov @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social as a constituent in Richmond, I implore you, DO SOMETHING! That, or I will no longer donate, and will actively work to get you voted out in your next primary, so we can actually get someone who will, if there's anything left.

A day or two late, but, Happy Funk Friday to those who celebrate! open.spotify.com/playlist/2wm...

She speaks truth.

We want to take a moment to express how proud we are of you, America. You have stood up and spoken out every step of the way—especially when Congress and the media remained silent. When we called for help, you answered.

“‘Keep Marching, Keep Demanding': Rashida Tlaib and Delia Ramirez Urge Democrats to Fight Harder” Watch ⁦‪Prem Thakker’s video report for Zeteo from the protests in DC:

These accidents keep happening.

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

Folks, this is a five alarm fire. Congress must stop Trump and Elon's coup. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121 This isn't just a battle for checks and balances. It's a battle between democracy and dictatorship.

While they met illegal immigrant (lied on his student visa application) President Elon and his pre pubescent hacker squad were overtaking NOAA. Because storm alerts shouldn’t be free.

Liberal: "what should we do?!" Me: "join your local mutual aid group and build networks of support" Liberal: "...but that's not what I meant. People aren't going to change their lifestyles" A real interaction I had yesterday. Listen y'all,

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID. Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!
