‘A huge impact on worker safety’: Protection for miners and firefighters in jeopardy after CDC cuts

Promise I won't turn this into a tourist picture account for two weeks. But gotta do a cherry blossom photo.

New York Fucking City. A full mile of people filled to the brim. Fascism is going to lose.

Sounds like a plan

The stages in MAGA responding to a negative story: 1: It's all lies 2: Most of it is lies 3: Some of it's true, but it doesn't matter 4. It's all true, but it's fine when we do it 5. F**k you

Trump's foolishness has presented the perfect opportunity for cats and penguins to sign a trade deal - the fish will be ours!

#Kitileaks Inspiration behind Trump's economic "strategy" revealed:

Dear America, sorry about your unfortunate incident with the economy. We got rid of our problematic Liz Truss in a matter of weeks after a similar issue. Something to try perhaps?

Thank god that the U.S.’s greatest ally, the Taliban, got the best rate for the “Discounted Reciprocal Tariffs” of any country

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

🇬🇪Georgia is quietly undergoing a dramatic geopolitical shift. Under Georgian Dream and its informal leader Bidzina Ivanishvili, the country is accelerating its alignment with Iran (and China and Russia)—abandoning its Western orientation. 🧵A thread on why this matters. 1/16

Doctors call it the Physiology of Poverty: The stress of trying to survive every day breaks the mind and the body. That's why working class people in America live SEVEN years shorter than the very wealthy.

Using our last few polls we've looked at voting intention by top issues, some really interesting trends. Reform leads by 21 points among those who select channel crossings as a top issue and 19 among those who care about immigration.

❗️”Not long ago I said we would squeeze them. Now, there’s reason to believe we will finish them off,” — Putin. Tt’s a clear declaration of intent to destroy. All the so-called “peace plans,” Trump’s games, and diplomatic manipulations are just tools to buy time and continue the war.

According to Stephen Miller, George Bush (senior and junior) and Ronald Reagan appointed a lot of radical Marxists to the judiciary.

Hegseth's office ordered the U.S. Naval Academy to review all 590,000 books in its library for content at odds with an executive order banning “radical indoctrination” in K-12 schools, even though it is a college. MLK, Einstein books already identified for removal www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/u...

This is mortifying. It's the kind of calculation you would normally make about a dictatorship. open.substack.com/pub/christin...

All the right's fearmongering over George Soros, and this guy is literally out here buying votes for the world to see.

Kseniia Petrova faces serious danger if she is forcibly sent back to Russia. Rumeysa Ozturk was bundled into a car by masked agents. Think back in history to when we’ve seen this happen before. Speak up. It’s not okay.

We took over the giant screen at Farage’s big rally in Birmingham

Yep

Hegseth doesn’t want midshipmen reading an autobiography of MLK www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/u...

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

That Louisiana ICE Detention Center could now form a pretty credible US university, given all of the scholars that have been sent there.

@stephensackur.bsky.social I remember when I started listening to HARDtalk as a teenager how it opened my mind and helped me to understand the issues of the day with the important, impressive and difficult questions you asked. You’ve never disappointed on that front so I’m sad it’s come to an end.

Elon Musk plans to step down from his cost-cutting role in the Trump administration at the end of May after reducing the US deficit by $1 trillion, the tech billionaire said on Thursday ⬇️

Canadian travel to the US is absolutely cratering.

“Peace demonstrators” in the Netherlands falsely claim to represent Ukrainian voices while campaigning against the Ukrainian government and aid for Ukraine.

In the 26 years since President Putin came to power, he has sought to flatter, manipulate or deceive five American presidents, from President Clinton to President Trump
