Karma is going to be busy.

Pretty sure this is NOT how Jesus would respond.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

again all of this stuff is resignation-level for literally everyone involved www.notus.org/health-scien...

Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.

When do we start all the winning? www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Mariam Mohammed says her younger son died when she could not get treatment for him at a U.S.-funded clinic that had temporarily closed. Researchers say that are many thousands of cases like his.

Adriana Smith's family is living a nightmare. They cannot grieve the loss of Adriana because Georgia's extreme abortion ban is forcing her to stay on ventilators against the family's will. This decision should be made by her family, not Republican politicians in Georgia.

*International students represent about 15% of all higher ed students. *They subsidize US students, so expect domestic student costs to increase *Trump complains about tariffs but he is destroying an industry where the US is a huge net exporter www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/u...

This will be good.

The Trump administration is poised to direct federal agencies to cancel their contracts with Harvard University, two senior Trump administration officials said, the latest barb against the school as it refuses to bend to the White House’s barrage of policy demands rooted in political ideology.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, the government’s second-largest agency, serving some of America’s most vulnerable citizens, is set to lose 83,000 employees under the Trump administration’s cutbacks.

Yesterday, 35 people were burned alive in an attack by Israeli forces in Gaza. They were mostly women & children. All sheltering in a school. A war crime of unimaginable horror. And NOTHING on these front pages. Genocide needs silence & apathy to thrive.

The Trump administration wants to eliminate the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, a little-known piece of the social safety net that helps low-income people pay their utility bills.

I implore people to think about what Memorial Day means, and then think about…this

He makes everything about him. What a small, insecure man.

Trump told West Point cadets at their graduation that he wouldn't be able to shake their hands, a tradition among US presidents, because he had urgent matters to deal with on China and Russia. This was him "dealing" with China and Russia moments later. He went golfing.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

NSF has cut new grants by half so far this year (in addition to cancelling grants in progress). It's still unclear whether they will be forced to spend remaining appropriated funds quickly at the end of the fiscal year. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

U.S. economy is experiencing ‘death by a thousand cuts’, Deutsche Bank has said.

Memorial Day isn’t just about burgers and barbecues — it’s about honoring those who gave everything so we can live free. Take a moment to remember. Then go ahead and enjoy your weekend. That’s what they fought for adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/what-memor...

How I feel checking the news every single day.

Trump tells followers to “ENJOY!!!” his Memorial Day Speech at Arlington National Cemetery

A Memorial Day message from an unhinged lunatic who currently controls all of the nukes.

The number of people killed by the police has risen every year since the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis officer in 2020. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

Ugly, ugly stuff. They're collapsing the Department of Veterans Affairs and the largest integrated healthcare system in America.

Let’s go Wolves!

“No children are dying on my watch,” said Rubio. It's blatantly false. Credible estimates count 190K deaths so far. In Kenya, I am seeing devastating impact, incl this child's starvation & many deaths directly caused by Rubio’s actions. More in my @msnbc.com clip. www.instagram.com/atul.gawande...

I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it

I’m so woke I think tax dollars should fund Medicare and Medicaid instead of luxury planes and military parades.

ACTIONS MEET CONSEQUENCES… North Carolina voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024—now he’s denying the state’s FEMA request. Again. Reminder: Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) and Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) voted against FEMA funding on September 25, 2024.

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

Still waiting, Mr. President.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.
