#Trump just made it easier for #BigOil to drill on #public lands—slashing review time, cutting out communities, and handing a win to his billionaire donors. Public land isn’t supposed to be up for sale. accountable.us/accountable-...

Seeing @noaa.gov pushing propaganda valorizing deep sea mining makes me feel physically ill. Another one of our most essential scientific institutions decimated by fascism.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

#MedicaidCutsKill Medicaid pays for 60% of long-term care in this country. Over 40% of births. Nearly 40% of child healthcare. Cutting Medicaid for billionaire tax breaks is just cruel. Medicaid Cuts Kill!

The top 7 biggest donors last year funneled over $1 billion to elect Trump through dark money Super PACs that allow individuals to donate above the legal maximum limit of $3300. He’s not investigating corruption. He’s protecting it, and trying to cripple Democratic competition.

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

If “justice delayed is justice denied,” the lower courts are playing a crucial role in responding to the near-daily injustices from the Trump administration. Dozens of judges across the country appointed by many different presidents have largely ruled against Trump’s unlawful actions. -Keith Thirion

AG Bondi is ignorant of our Constitution & wants to bar anyone who isn't Christian from our Government. Our Constitution clearly states, Article VI “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States". This is our AG for crying out loud!

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Why do billionaires get to keep all the money they're supposed to pay in taxes and direct it to whatever they see fit, while we have to blindly pay our taxes and have zero say in where it goes? It always ends up funding wars, weapons, and human rights violations. I don't want to pay for that.

Goldman Sachs has just put out a warning about a full US-China financial decoupling which would wipe out $2.5 trillion. US investors might be forced to sell $800 billion in Chinese stocks, while China could liquidate $1.7 trillion in US assets, including Treasuries and equities. Boom.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the United States government must return Kilmar Abrego Garcia home from prison in El Salvador. Donald Trump is blatantly ignoring and denying the ruling. Yes, we are in a constitutional crisis.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?
