Video Compilation of Alarming Statements Made by Trump, Musk, and their Campaign Regarding Election Interference in the 2024 US Presidential Election! #DigitalResistance ❤️‍🔥 #VerifyTheVote

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

WIRED: “It’s a heist — real federal auditors are horrified by DOGE… DOGE has posted some of its ‘findings’ on its website, many of which have been revealed to be errors.” www.wired.com/story/federa...

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

It's time to stop calling it "DEI purge." Removing black people and non-white groups from history is not DEI at all. It's whitewashing, or something... I dk what the term should be, but it's evil -- and need to be described as such.

When people talk about "American Exceptionalism" they now usually mean that Americans are exceptionally bad a running a country.

Shot, chaser

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

Democratic Party polling at 29%. Lesson: You can be on the right side of most things and still be despised for being weak and braindead.

~$14 is an appropriate price, (maybe generous considering the fall off of demand. Let's go...

Thousands of US Department of Agriculture employees, including food inspectors and disease-sniffing dog trainers, remain out of work, leaving food to rot in ports and pests to proliferate.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

Congrats, they heard you! The Social Security Administration has decided tonight to abandon its plans to end phone service for millions of Americans filing retirement and disability claims. Thank you to all who shared our post and made calls today—you did it!

My child just asked if the x in SpaceX stands for explode. 😭

"The AVMA never recommends raw diets for dogs or cats because of the risk of multiple pathogens..." and the spread of H5N1 makes raw feeding riskier than ever. "The strain that’s currently circulating has a near 90 percent case fatality rate in domestic cats” www.popsci.com/health/how-t...

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

We all need the humorous side of this dumpster fire occasionally

This Repub CR, that they claim will keep the government open, is a perfect example of why you must read bills. Inside the text, you’ll find cuts everywhere, and so much money taken from vets you wouldn’t believe it. These guys are frauds. Nice try! Hard NO! Throw it in the 🗑️

Dear @aoc.bsky.social, I just heard you say you are willing to come to deep red rural spaces to speak to voters. I can make those introductions for you. Let me know! Sincerely, Jess in deep red rural Missouri

“Neville Chamberlain believed that Hitler wouldn’t violate the Munich deal because Hitler respected him. Trump shares that delusion about Putin. We may all pay the price.” www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Genuinely wild that Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott is able to talk about cutting Medicare & Social Security from anywhere but a prison cell

Georgia dismissed all 32 members of its maternal mortality committee last year in response to ProPublica obtaining internal reports in which the committee detailed the “preventable” deaths of two women. Now the state has relaunched the committee, but officials won’t say who the current members are.

If you are a member of the D.C. Bar, please be on the look out for your ballot. And VOTE for Diane Seltzer for D.C. Bar president.

The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

I was pretty salty yesterday and am still today. The outrageous bullshit from DOGE and Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins is too much. They are waking up a lot of folks that they should have left alone. My latest post dives into it. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

While the republic undergoes a regime change, I feel guilty taking a break and enjoying the grace, the unbelievable talent of MiLaysia Fulwiley. Streaming this morning's game... 🤯 #gogamecocks #wbb
