ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Trump’s Commerce Secretary Confirms Plan to Gut Medicare—and More newrepublic.com/post/191740/... via @newrepublic.com

leave the bad place's bad takes in the bad place. I know it's tempting to bring all that energy here, to screenshot something egregious and post it here with a counter opinion, but this only perpetuates the bad vibes many of us are trying to escape from. so, if you saw it there, let it rot there.

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

The Trump admin is planning to strip healthcare away from millions of Americans by proposing new criteria for who can and can't receive Medicaid. Please CALL YOUR SENATORS/CONGRESSPEOPLE. Tell them they work for US. And we demand they protect our access to healthcare. 5calls.org/issue/protec...

#BTSARMY I am so proud of us. We all got all 7 BTS members in the top ten of the Best-selling K-Pop soloists by pure albums in 2024 (US)

Please RSVP for and invite friends to the week-long Amazon boycott coming up (if you still have facebook): www.facebook.com/events/13171... As physicians, we have a LOT of buying power. And the more people we get on board, the more impact we have. #CancelAmazon #BoycottAmazon #MedSky #AcademicSky

The administration has yet again walked something back This time they rescinded a stop work order for the attorneys in charge of helping unaccompanied immigrant children www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution.

"I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished. 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." -Franklin Delano Roosevelt

For all the USPS's faults, Americans have to realize: It's one of the best postal services in the world, even after being kneecapped by DeJoy. Fight for our postal service, guys. I know I will. It is an essential public good.

We’re hearing from multiple sources that center directors at CDC and/or NIH may be let go tomorrow. We are hoping this is just a rumor- passionate, dedicated leadership is needed during this time. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

Several publications across the country, some national, some local, are taking the February 28 economic boycott seriously. We have to make sure this is successful. Otherwise we’re gonna look like the boy who cried Wolf. 1/

After a heavy content morning, let’s take a fun break and rename the Gulf of America, since it seems anybody can just do that now. How about the Gulf of Golf? Or the Gulf of Federal Resilience? Our fed friends are fighters. Give us your best in the comments! gulfof.mapquest.com?name=WTF+is+...

Example here of NIH scientists being unready to deal with Trump and Musk. Aspects of the grants memo were blatantly illegal and the legal justification in it was stupid. They were given an hour? Someone at NIH should have noted the illegality and found a way to delay —then leaked it like crazy. 🧪

New EO (link below) orders HHS to terminate the Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Long COVID (section 2iv). Share widely on all platforms. This is a perfect example of how this administration does not care about Americans. If this is efficiency, then what IS Trump's plan for people with Long COVID?

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

Strongly recommend calling your R reps if you live in Indiana and saying "I didn't vote to defund Dolly Parton!" reps.fyi

for those going to hobi’s tour in the US, please consider masking for the immunocompromised folks who will also be attending (like me!) 🩷

Reizüberflutung (Germany) - lit. 'stimulus flooding'. When you're overwhelmed by the world. Weltschmerz (Germany) – lit. 'world pain'.

It’s been a week since the MAHA EO was released. We haven’t covered it yet because there’s so much pseudoscience, biased statistics, and questionable content we needed time to wrap our head around it. Our criticism is twofold: data that are false/misleading, and policy driven by misinformation. 🧵

Late yesterday, Trump issued an executive order that terminates HHS's Long COVID advisory committee. The committee's focus was bringing perspectives from outside government to inform action of the Executive Branch on Long COVID and other infection-associated chronic conditions.

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!!!

Trump touts the “fairness” of his reciprocal tariff plan, but in reality the tax will hit low-income households the hardest and cost the average American household around $2,000.

Former NFL Vikings punter Chris Kluwe spoke out in front of the all MAGA Huntington Beach, CA, City Council and called Trump and MAGA a "Nazi movement.” He got arrested and carried out by police. In a world of Trumps, be a Chris Kluwe.

ICYMI: RM Raskin sounds the alarm as House Republicans move forward with a massive power grab…

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

above all else the current crop of republicans in congress are the most pathetic cowards to ever serve in washington www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Today is EO9066 Day of Remembrance. 🇺🇸 This EO ordered the incarceration of Japanese residents. They were citizens and immigrants denied citizenship due to racist laws. Their stories are more important than ever. Take some time to listen to their stories.

😶‍🌫️ Fed Staff 😶‍🌫️ Some CDC offices are being instructed to remove their headshots from Microsoft Office to prevent them from being leaked online by Elon and his traitor tots. Sadly, it’s a good idea.

Remember this when Trump talks about wildfires. The US Forest Service needed more staff, not less.
