Commissioned in 1865, right as the U.S. Civil War ended, the Statue of Liberty was originally designed holding broken chains in her left hand—this fact has been whitewashed from history b/c of the clear allusion to U.S. chattel slavery; the chains were replaced by the current tablet-like object. 🇺🇸

Calling on all Americans who want to elect a public school teacher and single father of two boys who will restore balance to Washington, fight for common sense solutions, and serve the American people, NOT special interests! #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory social.demcast.com/s/Qt8aLVYe

If the president can't constitutionally sign something with an autopen because autopens didn't exist in the eighteenth century, then of course he can't constitutionally sign a bill with a Sharpie, either.

JD Vance best watch this vid ‘cuz yesterday he bitched that his 3-yr-old was scared by a group of protesters shouting “Slava Ukraini.” The hypocrisy is staggering: This girl lost her leg in a Russian attack & is a symbol of the unyielding strength of the Ukrainian people who are fighting pure evil.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

NY Times: "MeidasTouch is a leader among the numerous digital-first outlets that have been rapidly reshaping the progressive media landscape since Mr. Trump took office."

Concepts of thoughts and prayers… So sick of these folks who only care when Trump impacts their own lives. 📌 Jennifer Piggott—voted for Trump three times, including 2024— found herself jobless following cuts to government agencies in February.

CALIFORNIA WATER UPDATE: The Army Corps knew the water wouldn’t reach LA—but they followed Trump’s orders and dumped it anyway. He wasted billions of gallons for a photo op. Hope farmers don’t ask where their precious water went when they need it this summer—the clown they voted for sabotaged them.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

We have a governor that has now become a tight wad. Doge-santis will be his name going forward. He's pissed that tRump has closed to back Byron rather than Casey! Lil Ron is unhappy, but term limited!

Remember when we didn’t have to pay such close attention to politics because comic book villains weren’t so close to world domination? That was fun.
