We’re not just talking about vets who want to become homeowners here. This is going to impact vets who already have homes. We are talking about making vets & their families UNHOUSED. How does that make us great? Is that what you voted for? Who does this help?

“experts say that giving someone a placebo to protect them against a potentially deadly disease when an effective vaccine already exists would be unethical”

happy may day here is a painting I did a long time ago

This is disgusting. But then, so many things this administration does are disgusting. These people do not give a damn about your children. They do not give a damn about their safety. They do not give a damn about their lives. They literally can’t make clearer. www.npr.org/2025/05/01/n...

48% of all job cuts made this year were a result of Doge-Leon’s revenge & retribution campaign to strike back at the institutions seeking to fine, impede and hold him responsible for breaking the law- While gaining billions in new Gov’t contracts. This admin is spending MORE than the previous.

Something, something…indoctrination of our children…

Republicans: We need more babies! (To die of SIDS)

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

"The millions who will die due to this administration’s policies have lives, names, friends and family who love them. Let them not just be figures in scientific papers—let their memorial be the whole earth." — @gregggonsalves.bsky.social

So what is 🪱 🧠 doing about this?

TOMORROW is MAY DAY (5/1/25): The latest in our ongoing PROTESTS! FIGHT to protect the country from the chaos of one dangerously unstable man. IT. IS. WORKING. Sane Americans easily outnumber the cult & live in Dementia Don's head rent-free. Bad press is his Kryptonite. BE THERE!! www.FiftyFifty.com

WTF, WHY?!

The FDA needed even more inspectors and skilled staff before everyone was fired. Local inspectors cannot keep people safe without the FDA

Federal workers SAVE the government money, that’s why firing them is COSTING the government money. This isn’t difficult.

It’s. A. Coup.

900% increase in ICE budget proposal from the GOP. Going from $9 billion to $90 billion. $45 BILLION for detention facilities alone. But they’re cutting school lunches.

WSJ: The S&P 500 just ended the day with its biggest loss in the first 100 days of a new presidential term since Nixon's in 1973.

Efficient.

SB 2880 out of Texas has the goal to wipe information about abortion pills from the internet. It is carefully designed to scare people into silence and will chill free speech.

Can't get much more in the open than this huh?

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

A well-oiled machine 🫠

Musk's slashing of funds to the CDC & NIH, and RFK jr's promotion of crackpot theories, have left a lot of us wondering were to get reliable medical information. Read "5 Places to Turn for Accurate Health Information" from the New York Times (gift article): www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/w...

We’re in a reflective mood today. Here’s a thread of ten of the most insane and idiotic things that Elon Musk and DOGE have done in the last 100 days.

Portland’s mayor is standing behind the city’s sanctuary policies as President Donald Trump’s administration intensifies its crackdown on immigration.

Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.

Oregon’s Department of Emergency Management says the Trump administration’s decision to abruptly cancel a hazard mitigation grant program will “significantly impact communities” across the state. OEM said this loss will seriously impede Oregon’s ability to prepare for disasters.

It’s getting hot in here… 🎶

Don’t worry y’all, the new head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division is gonna guarantee that none of their work is based on statistical evidence anymore (From WaPo, link in next post)

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

The terrorists in action, folks!

Yo resisters, Fed family, veterans, and all the fabulous LGBTQ peeps— #WeSeeYou The crisis fatigue is real. Taking care of your well-being is not avoidance-it’s necessary. Seek out your posse, do good work, ask for help when you need it. #Resist, rinse, repeat. Get it trending: #WeSeeYou

🔥👏 Great to see the scientific community standing firm against this admin’s lunacy. The Lancet, one of the world’s top medical journals, calls for RFK Jr. to resign for supporting harmful budget cuts to NIH, CDC, and FDA, and promoting anti-science views. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
