Somehow, I’m in no way surprised

Duffy getting booed out of California. That other GOP dude getting heckled by his own constituents. And now this. SHEER F*ING JOY. You F’ed around with the people you’re supposed to represent. Now you FIND OUT 😈

If you’re at an event and don’t boo when you see a Nazi salute - you’re a Nazi.

📌It’s about time ALL our retired military flag officers started showing some damn leadership by speaking out against this authoritarian attack on our nation. You know damn well that what is happening right now is WRONG.

It should be noted that Trump has "joked" about a third term multiple times, and virtually no reporters or politicians have resisted it. That is very dangerous rhetoric, and we must demand that he be called out. This is how Trump tests the waters, by starting things out as a "joke," like Canada.

Every Trump voter knew who he was - they just thought he would weaponize his racism and toxic masculinity against the rest of us even though he outright said "I don't care about you, I just care about your votes" TO THEIR FACES at a rally. Hatred makes you stupid.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

This man will have blood on his hands.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Say goodbye to mail-in ballots and any reliable mail service. Control communications. Control the populace. Straight out of the authoritarian rule book.

I’m increasingly of the view that whether media outlets call this a Nazi salute tells you everything you need to know about them. If they don’t have the courage to say things which can be proven simply by looking at them, how can they be trusted to hold the Trump admin to account on anything else?

RFK Jr. Goes After Widely Used Antidepressants, Claiming They Could Be a Threat to Americans. The newly confirmed US Secretary of Health and Human Services has falsely stated that SSRIs are more addictive than heroin and contribute to school shootings. apple.news/Ade6PFEYvQei...

Every day is a good day to remind you NOT to get medical advice about your healthcare or vaccines from people who are not trained or qualified to make these kinds of recommendations. If I am in legal trouble I talk to a lawyer If I want to learn about vaccines I talk to my doctor.

A gift for the billionaires.

Maddow: All of this absolutely historically unprecedented. No president has ever come out of the gate with numbers like this ever before. And it is across the board

To say that the abrupt dismantling of USAID has devastated the global health and nutrition space is not an understatement. Must read piece in AJCNutrition on the loss of life and livelihoods. @christinestewart.bsky.social ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S000...

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

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.

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

Stand up and be counted. @standupforscience.bsky.social

Thank goodness we have United States Senators who take very, very seriously their Article I responsibility to engage in … {checks notes} … fact-checking www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

Thank you, @jama.com "...the silencing of this scientific discourse directly threatens the professional oaths that many have taken to protect the health of patients and the public. The silence with which many of us and our institutions are meeting this moment must be challenged." #Medsky

"My background isn't a sad story, it is an American story. I wanted to share it with you today so that you understand I am rooted in my principles, and I won't compromise them for anything. I do this without fear." Goosebumps and tears.

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

The dystopian, apocalyptic hellscape is getting to me today… so here’s my love. My best friend. My soulmate. Being the best love bug in history. Making it all better.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

Please consider using this simple tool to ask Congress to protect NIH & medical research. It only takes seconds to complete. Thank you! #NIH #cancer #congress #funding #educationsky #academicresearch #research #highereducation #EduSky #PhDSky #AcademicChatter #AcademicSky #bluecrew

Emergency food, TB testing and other programs have not resumed, despite a judge’s order halting President Trump’s dismantling of USAID.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

Trickle up economics.

A reminder that Nikki Haley endorsed, supported and voted for Putin’s puppet. Just shut the fuck up.

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is the recommended pediatric vaccine schedule. If your child is behind for any reason, or if you aren’t sure of their status, call your pediatrician *tomorrow*.
