Dismantling USAID will *cost* $6 billion according to internal Trump administration memos news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go...

@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "We've gotta be talking about Donald Trump's corruption every single day. It is beyond what anyone has ever done. He has essentially turned the White House into an ATM for himself and his family."

We are dismantling American higher education & scientific research & health care & all the other things to fund concentration camps

Can we say we are living in a police state now?

As long as I live, I’ll never forget seeing wheelchair users zip tied for protesting…

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Metaphor alert.

A giant has left us. www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

it's just plainly apparent that the Dem gerontocracy rejects young, energetic candidates because of self-preservation, not policy all while the right gladly embraces the energy of 19 year old fascists who are going to be with us for generations

A 49 year old Canadian has died while in ICE custody.

Democratic Reps Tom Suozzi (NY-03) and Laura Gillen (NY-04) have both released statements criticizing Zohran Mamdani after his decisive win. Suozzi and Gillen represent the two wealthiest districts in New York, both of which are among the richest in the nation. Wealth fears change—but it’s coming.

Leavitt without a trace of irony: "When you have a totalitarian regime, you have to save face. I think any common sense, open-minded person knows the truth about the precision strikes on Saturday night. They were wildly successful."

Corporate Media after Trump win: we will only interview Trump supporters (no opponents), make it feel like he has 100% support Corporate Media after Mamdani win: we will only interview people who are scared of Mamdani (no supporters), make it feel like he has 0% support

Any thoughts that the forced-birthers wouldn't keep going in their efforts to kill abortion nationwide haven't aged well. bsky.app/profile/warr...

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Lmao finally the Axios article I've been waiting for.

I am convinced, although I have no hard evidence, that ICE has gotten orders to go out and re-detain Iranians with final orders of removal, many out in the community on orders of supervision for decades as Iran wouldn't take them. They may now be deported to Panama or somewhere random.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Kennedy pulls US support for Gavi's vaccine efforts In a pre-recorded video delivered to Gavi leaders, Kennedy accused the group of ignoring vaccine safety and said the US government will withhold financial support. www.cidrap.umn.edu/c... Photo: USAID Nigeria/Flickr cc

A pregnant woman lost her baby after ICE refused to give her prenatal care. She begged for help and was denied. She was fed food full of cockroaches. She was forced to sleep on the floor. This is absolutely disgusting and we should all be outraged. nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

How authoritarians talk -attack the free press -smear anyone who questions their claims -use dehumanizing language

you’re telling me republicans are now going to call democrats communists since zohran won? they’ve never done that before it might be over

First, Toyota donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Then, Trump's CFPB said they don't have to pay $40 million in customer refunds anymore. And now, Trump's DOJ closed its investigation into allegations of Toyota bribery. Our government is up for sale.

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

"Things have dramatically changed in the media landscape, and the fact that we’re important and viewed as truth-tellers is an incredible indictment of the rest of the press. It’s insane." No lies detected.

So 21% don't? Curious, that's about the size of the Know-Nothing neo-Fundamentalist movement that's captured the federal government.

MMR vaccination rates among U.S. kindergarteners have fallen below herd immunity in hundreds of counties from 2022–24, per a Feb 2025 study. Hotspots include Wisconsin and Gaines County, TX, where rates dip under 80%, raising risk of measles outbreaks.

Primary almost everyone. Enough is enough. We deserve a better world.

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.

One more element of the Trump admin’s sick and twisted determination to wreck as much of the environment as possible by killing data: the White House’s 2026 budget would end the annual North American Breeding Bird Survey and the Bird Banding Laboratory program. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! The photo says it all. Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.

This is what would happen under occupation of the US by a hostile foreign power. Total vandalism of the source of American scientific pre-eminence in the world for the past 60+ yrs. Every single thing that made this country worthwhile is being destroyed: e.g., immigration, public lands, science.
