He’s really picking the wrong city to fuck with this time. bsky.app/profile/atru...

My god!

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

A new coronavirus 🥺🥺🥺

Republicans want to pass a bill that would disenfranchise someone you know. The SAVE Act is the GOP’s attempt at mass voter suppression disguised as an election integrity bill — and we need to get loud to stop it: indivisibleteam.medium.com/maga-has-a-b...

NEW: Public health teams are being gutted by Trump's purge of federal employees, imperiling crucial, lifesaving work. "We are hollowing out our government in a way that is going to hurt people and is going to get people killed." w/ @deldeib.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Infant mortality rates in the US have increased by 7% following the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision.

Universal health care is a cornerstone of every other developed country, but in the US, coverage is fragmented among those with private insurance, government programs and a sizable uninsured population. In the US large swaths of the population are being sentenced to death by lack of coverage. 🧵

Cosign.

Political interference in military leadership—especially dismissing generals and admirals based on ideological loyalty rather than competence—has repeatedly led to disastrous consequences. We are not exempt. NEW from @markhertling.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/dont-purge...

This is how it’s done.

Don’t be a nice person…

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Trump’s EO ruining the independence of federal agencies shows the real goal of Musk and Trump is not efficiency or even winning the culture wars. It’s thievery. And they are *exceptional* thieves. My latest in @thenation.com

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

U.S. President Donald Trump deported 37,660 people during his first month in office, previously unpublished U.S. Department of Homeland Security data show, far less than the monthly average of 57,000 removals and returns in the last full year of Joe Biden's administration.

Welcome to today's episode of Shut The Fuck Up Friday! Check out this video for some tips from a local lawyer for those of you headed out to the streets to protest. You're a target of the state when you take action. NEVER talk to police & always STFU! Full video in thread👇

As a Mainer, I'll say Gov Mills gets a lot wrong but she did good here.

Glad to see Trump’s imperial threat against a majority indigenous population given its proper platform. This is not about Denmark. It’s about the Inuit who constitute more than 85% of the population of Greenland.

ICYMI: We know Trump is Elon's jester, but he desperately wants to be king. @therickwilson.bsky.social and @mayaonstage.bsky.social dissect Trump's delusions on the latest episode of The Breakdown: youtube.com/watch?v=7FmI...

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

You couldn’t pay me to fly.

State-sponsored media

😡😡😡😡

Put this on blast.

This isn’t law enforcement, it’s a posse. An ad hoc ragtag group of way-too-enthusiastic prairie justice types who will engage in unnecessary and illegal violence with the blessing of our president. This isn’t law and order, it’s violence and chaos. It’s provocation, sabotage. Feature, not bug.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Happy Tax! Take a break from the normally scheduled zombie-scrolling and adore all over this cutie! 🥰 Welcome, little one. May you always evade cull and plate.

because "free speech"

Remember when team USA beat the Soviets in the 80s? Canada just had that moment and the US were the Soviets this time. Congratulations Canada 🍁

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

A NEW MARCH ON WASHINGTON, IN MARCH! FINALLY ONE THAT I CAN PLAN FOR! LET'S DO THIS PEOPLE. FLOOD THE STREETS!! #14thNOW #PROTEST

Trump Lost! If anyone had any doubts left, evidence is clearly backed up by trump bending over backwards to give putin whatever he wants. Jessica Denson not scared of trump & his thugs, unlike over half your representatives & media. A conman is gonna con! #14thnow

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

The mothers met in a Whatsapp group. They have vowed to fight until their sons, who they say have not committed crimes and do not have ties to gangs, are released.

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.
