I have several relatives who just moved to NewZealand, and other highly educated ones who are now planning it, too. So are we going to have a “brain drain” in our country like some had almost a century ago?? Workers, especially with advanced scientific degrees, are valuable to other countries.

If you think Boomers were the ones who voted for the current regime in charge, remember how many of us were young lefty libs in the 60’s and 70’s and we aren’t done resisting!

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

1/8 There are several websites and resources dedicated to combating misinformation. These resources can help you verify claims and ensure that the information you consume is accurate. Here are some notable ones: Please repost

1/2 There have been reports suggesting that the U.S. is pressuring Ukraine regarding access to Musk's Starlink satellite internet service. The U.S. allegedly threatened to cut off this critical internet access unless Ukraine agrees to a deal involving its rare earth minerals. REPOST PLEASE

Elon Musk is a bandit. And Doug Ford just signed $100 million deal with him. Meanwhile he and Trump are trying to crush the people of Ukraine. Doug Ford says it's the "best bang for the buck." No Doug, this is what vichy collaborators do. Slava Ukraini

Is anyone keeping an account of the law breaking / impeachable offenses, or have we already given up?

@aoc.bsky.social is spot on! “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” #DoSomething

“This is truly a national tragedy and one that is being executed by people who do not understand the value of scientific research.” 🧪 from @science.org

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

This is why we mask - and will for as long as is necessary. With a proper N95 or better. #Covid has not been around long enough for us to know the repercussions. HIV shows up 8 years after "a cold". I'm doing what I can to protect myself #Disability Please protect us and yourselves.

You know this is 100% going to happen…

There's a rebrand I could get behind. HAHA! But seriously, fuck you, Trump. It's the Gulf of Mexico. You're not in charge of anything, Asswipe.

Texas measles cases are up, and New Mexico now has an outbreak. Here's what you need to know flip.it/.mUhOa

We warned you, America. You were definitely warned.

It’s been FIVE DAYS since this man voted to confirm an antivaccine activist to run HHS

A group of unqualified, unelected bureaucrats, including a teenager with alleged links to hacker groups, is now seeking access to the personal identifying information of every U.S. taxpayer. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

Thinking about what a great president Kamala Harris would have been.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Internal Medicine rounds are never “aggressively boring” with Dr. G. Watch the latest video in which @glaucomflecken.bsky.social summarizes the PICNIC trial: www.tiktok.com/@nejm.org/vi... #MedSky

“In this trial … using store-bought, home-measured peanut versus peanut avoidance in high-threshold peanut allergy, those treated achieved significantly higher rates of desensitization with a durable response off treatment.” Full trial results in NEJM Evidence: eviden.cc/3WMQwLF #MedSky

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

NEW: “The sudden departure of Justice Department veteran Denise Cheung comes a day after President Donald Trump announced his nominee to lead the prosecutor’s office, Ed Martin, who has supported unwinding all January 6 criminal cases that the office brought.” www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/p...

Is Musk demanding the data held by the Social Security Administration in order to make it more efficient? Unlikely. Here's a better explanation: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

So typically republican, “hurt everyone else please, just not me.”

‘Mass terminations of probationary workers also swept through the National Nuclear Security Administration, a semiautonomous agency within the Energy Department that oversees the nation's nuclear weapons.’ 🤦🏻‍♂️What could go wrong!

#ProudBlue #DemocracyWarriors The UK is stepping it up in Ukraine. I love that they are standing strong to help protect peace & push back against Putin & Trump. 👏👏👏👏 I wish our Congress would grow some balls like Europe. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
