Perfect.

normalize consequences for being a horrible little shit, actually

it’s almost like courage in the face of fascism is rewarded by voters or something

No Republicans in the House or Senate have read the thousand page abomination they shat out. Not one. It’s a dog’s vomit of petty grievance, giveaways to their rich asshole donor buddies and constitutional carve-outs to that pussy-grabbing criminal squatting in the White House 🖕Every word is true

They lie about everything

I think people running government agencies should have some expertise in the agencies they have been hired to run

Trump calls it “gold-standard science.” But what he’s proposing is fool’s gold - shiny rhetoric hiding the rot of political interference in scientific endeavors, in the pursuit of his ideological agenda. Read the WaPo article featuring our Open Letter here: www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

in an administration full of monsters Stephen Miller is the biggest monster of them all

This will be one of the most difficult Pride celebrations in recent memory. Our LGBTQ+ friends and family are increasingly targets of hate and discrimination, with many of those messages and actions coming from their own government. Be an ally. #Pride2025

HELL YEAH PRIDE MONTH Y'ALL

The Confederate flag is a symbol of white supremacy and support for slavery. Full stop.

the big disconnect that happens here is between the correct message for D politicians (especially in red states), which is “you’re right, this isn’t who you are, you’re better than that, vote differently next time” and the actual truth, which is yes you did, fuck you

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Health care is a human right.

this rules "I am old, and I am a legend, and fuck you all I'm going to use my platform to support trans people" good for him

ummmmm...fake sources, mischaracterization of findings, made up research studies doesn't sound like "Gold Standard Science" to us. But what do we know? We are just a lowly, grassroots community of the world's leading scientists. 🐸☕ #foolsgoldscience #standupforsciece www.notus.org/health-scien...

A majority of Americans on the rolls voted for this Unbelievable

Look at this AI garbage. - The “hamburgers” - His hair, shirts and aprons are completely different from one picture to the next - The “words” on the aprons aren’t in a real language.

Accurate..

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

gender-affirming care has regret rates significantly below completely uncontroversial interventions like knee replacement surgery no study will ever tell you differently let trans people get the care they need

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts predominantly for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Republicans are for dirty air, filthy water, poisoned oceans, and toxic waste. They never met a rich polluter they didn’t love. You? They don’t give a rat’s ass about you or your children’s health. Next time remember to bring bribe money. They all love Love LOVE money

Money is the root of all Republicans

A Friendly Reminder.

Do I need to spell out who this bill is really for?

Even on tip income, there’s only a proposed deduction. So if you don’t itemize, you still pay tax on tip income. See how they fool voters?

Dear press: Why do questions of mental acuity activate only with the prior but not the current administration? Asking for a nation.

🤷🏼‍♂️

The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long and filled with devastating cuts to vital programs in exchange for tax cuts that will disproportionately help the rich. The plan is so unpopular that Republicans are taking another vote on it tomorrow at 1 AM.  They're trying to hide it.

No shit, Sherlock! It’s the GOP way. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...

This flew under the radar, but thanks to Trump's EPA cuts, Energy Star could shut down for good. Energy Star isn't just a sticker on your appliances. It's an important program that saves consumers $40B/year. So much for all that talk about "efficiency."

After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget: -People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000 -People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700 -People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000 This is what class warfare looks like.
