Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

Oh, we should rename all his companies! The Boering Company TeSSla SpaceXtremist

#Teslatakedown in NYC was epic

Holy mackerel @schumer.senate.gov's favorability is at MINUS 27% That's 26% lower than Donald Trump Senator, you've had a pretty good career But this is REALLY embarrassing Please-step down while you still have a shred of dignity left The Reformers

Bingo

We are DONE letting MAGA extremists call the shots. Gay Valimont is ready to flip this seat, but she needs US to bring the fire. 🔥 Let’s phone bank like democracy depends on it—because it does. 📞 💪 Join the fight: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Who has seen one of these out in the wild?

Wishing my sister @repjasmine.bsky.social an amazing and happy birthday!♥️ Can’t wait to celebrate with you! 🎉

Are we “Great” yet?

Breathtaking. A federal prosecutor in LA was fired Friday at the behest of the White House, after lawyers for a fast-food executive he was prosecuting pushed officials in DC to drop all charges against him White House ordered firing of L.A. federal prosecutor on ex-Fatburger CEO case, sources say

This is the worst Alabama performance since they elected Tommy Tuberville

A closer look at the hell-hole Trump is sending immigrants to. CECOT—El Salvador’s infamous mega-prison built for mass incarceration. The U.S. is snatching immigrants and sending them there—no trial, no proof, just suspected gang ties. Something needs to be done about this human rights violation!

#TeslaTakedown on Centinela Los Angeles my 2nd of the day!! LFG

At least 300 people protesting Tesla in Sacramento! Most of the cars are honking and cheering in support. Lots of folks don’t like the oligarchy!

ICYMI: Senator Bernie Sanders endorsed Josh Weil for Congress! Donate! Volunteer! Vote, if you’re in the district!

The Brits are savage 🔥

My. Gawd. Dude is oranger than an Oompa Loompa.

We were out in the wind and rain at Cleveland’s Tesla dealership today with nearly 1000 other patriots. We protest with gratitude for all those who sacrificed life and limb for the freedoms in jeopardy today-For the future of all those yet to follow. Let freedom ring. 🇺🇸 @trublu268.bsky.social

🧵 Brought to you by the Laken Riley Act Unintended consequences, and our legislators should have seen it coming. #DemVoice1 bsky.app/profile/muts...

We are currently living in The Age of Incompetent Hypocrites.

If you’re brown, you’re not safe in this country. Republicans used everyone’s outrage over the horrific death of Laken as cover to target brown people. They are bastardizing laws to hurt innocent folks, and it’s deplorable. #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue

This should send chills up our collective spines: In that Signal group, Stephen Miller acted as the de facto president. #MomSky www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Afraid and anxious about the craziness of the 47's administration? Me too. Looking to stay on top of things without drowning in them? Looking for something meaningful to do about all this? Check out the digital drum beat: open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

Gotta love Bernie! ❤️ Still. In. It. To. Win. It. 😎✨

RFKjr is busy AF trying to cull Americans. Every health care professional in the country must consistently call him out.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

“We do have authority over the Federal Courts. We can eliminate an entire district court. Desperate times call for desperate measures and Congress is going to act. So, stay tuned for that” —Mike Johnson

The sane countries and leaders no longer trust us anymore. We had the opportunity to elect an intelligent, kind and worthy president but millions either could not be bothered to vote or voted for an evil and divisive orange monster instead. 😪 #Disney #X #JoyfulWarriors

Amen to Delaware AG Kathy Jennings’ open letter to BigLaw 100:

It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he will continue to revoke visas for “people that are supportive of movements that run counter to the foreign policy of the United States.” This is new. And it doesn’t feel like freedom

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D) joined me to discuss President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting elections. Fontes explained how the action, if allowed to go forward, would disenfranchise voters, cause chaos and make it impossible for states to run free and fair elections.

Over 600 local events with many more being added every day. In all 50 states and DC, we will demand an end to the most brazen power grab in modern history. We hope to see you in the streets on April 5: handsoff2025.com/?SQ...

Well that ain’t good

Breaking: A Delta jet just came close to colliding with a US military jet over Washington, DC, causing alarms to go off.

I derive joy from it.

I feel like this tweet did not get enough attention this week

“The Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine official, Dr. Peter Marks, abruptly resigned Friday, saying in a searing letter that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s aggressive stance on vaccines was irresponsible and posed a danger to the public.”

They wanted Russia looped in. They’re Russian agents. They work for Putin. That’s exactly why they have Russian emails & phone numbers. These clowns are destroying our country & putting us at risk daily FOR Putin. #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue
