The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Fmr. VP Kamala Harris on National Women's Day: “Let us remember and live the words of my mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris: While we may be the first to do many things, we must make sure we are not the last. When we lift up women, we lift up children, families, communities, and all of society.”

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

The 100 lowest-paying major US corporations spent $522B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2023.   Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned just $34k.  Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $14.7M. See the problem?

Anti-fascist protest in Paris today on International women's day! We need more of this and we need to do it in America and large and loud! (Sorry for the Instagram link but important) www.instagram.com/reel/DG9dW60...

BREAKING: Federal ethics watchdog Hampton Dellinger has been removed after an order of the DC Circuit:

AP jaw-dropper: “In some cases, photos seemed to be flagged for removal simply because their file included the word ”gay,” including service members with that last name and an image of the B-29 aircraft Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan” apnews.com/article/dei-...

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote. The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate. His approval ratings are tanking. He does not have a mandate. Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful. He's not.

It's not His story. It's Her's

Trans visibility day is coming up

The Social Security Administration is cutting 7,000 jobs and closing half of its regional offices. It's no coincidence that Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." They're gutting the program YOU'VE PAID INTO to make room for more billionaire tax cuts. Now is the time to speak up.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

🚨 BREAKING: Thirteen prime ministers and two presidents are attending today’s emergency Ukraine summit in London. America is no where to be found. American First is America Alone.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

we need a slogan and they’ve got a syllabus

Vibe Check: It’s 2/27/2025 and…  🏠Housing is still unaffordable  🥦Quality food is still unaffordable 🏥Healthcare is still unaffordable  Yet, this administration and its MAGA extremists are gung-ho about cutting everything— except prices for working class people.

The wealthy commit fraud WAY MORE than the rest of us do. They also serve WAY LESS time in prison.

Farm workers are out in freezing 39° temps, pruning vines for just 40 cents per vine—backbreaking work that puts food on our tables. Meanwhile, CEOs rake in millions. This is why we fight for fair pay & dignity for ALL workers.

Beware of this guy. He seems to really dislike 🇨🇦 Canadians.

Millions of people around the world are feeling the repercussions of President Trump’s decision to freeze international aid for 90 days and shut down US AID, by far the largest provider of foreign assistance around the world.
