It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

We’re checking out the local chapter of this group. One of the key elements of how those who support the current administration operate is to DIVIDE those who oppose them. If they succeed, we lose. indivisible.org/sites/defaul...

"Frankly speaking, for generations of Americans, racist ideas have been their common sense. The simple logic of racist ideas has manipulated millions over the years, muffling the more complex antiracist reality again and again." —Stamped from the Beginning www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

The irony of claiming fear about measles and TB from those seeking asylum while appointing an anti science anti vaccine grifter to HHS is just too much. Fucking post truth world.

Darren Beattie, Trump’s new acting Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, once posted, “Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work.” Beattie also posted I need to “learn” my “place” and “take a knee to MAGA.” 1/2

I remember watching Star Wars as a kid and asking myself, who would voluntarily join the dark side? I understood Darth Vader's motivation, but not the stormtrooper's.

I spent much of my childhood and teen years in churches. Preachers always talked about having discernment: being able to tell truth from lies, knowing good from evil, having wisdom. Now many American Christians are displaying an astonishing lack of discernment. They have lost their minds and souls.

I want to tag my Michigan senators and representative, but they aren’t on Bluesky. I’ve been calling them, and apparently so are a lot of other people, fortunately. Keep calling!

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

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.

What this long and detailed NYT piece calmly calls an “extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual” is in fact a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s Article I powers and delegation of the President’s Article II duties. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

RFK Jr. and his family stand to profit off lawsuits against vaccines. An HHS Secretary shouldn't have a financial interest in making our country sicker. I’m demanding RFK Jr. recuse himself from any work on vaccine policy while he has a financial interest in the outcome.
