Today sitting in the knowledge that racism’s power is in its theft of time & spirit. Onwards. Thanks to all those who called Hochul’s office yesterday, please continue to do so (518) 474-8390. Together let’s insist on a world we want to live in.

It just hit me that across every dimension Trump is destroying a full century of human progress. Free trade, the norm against aggression, vaccines and public health, desegregation, victory against fascism and ethno-nationalism. All onto the bonfire. One of the greatest criminals in history.

I’ve been saying for over two decades there is no better bargain in the area of national defense than a proactive response to the threat of H5N1. Finally, someone was willing to do it…and now, of course, the GOP wants to kill it.

I legit think the NPC meme they love to use is a tell for these sociopaths. They don’t think killing kids by withholding HIV treatment is any different than stabbing a prostitute in Grand Theft Auto.

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

I've be struggling to comprehend how the sweeping disruptions to federal programs and mountain of executive orders is having a real-time effect on people here in Indianapolis. So I'm starting this thread to keep track of stories documenting the impact. Let's go.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

More on Bezos from @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social My take: It's easy to say this but there is no way today's announcement does not have a chilling effect on the newsroom. Bezos has made clear that the Washington Post exists to promote his political ideology.

Practice saying it, even if you have no reason to think you'll ever be detained: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." (I just said it out loud twice.)

They know nothing but think they know everything. And we (not you and me specifically, so save your breath) buy into their confident, boldly-asserted certainty time and again, throughout history. I hope one day we learn that it's stupid, reckless, selfish people who "move fast and break things."

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social : “The numbers don’t add up. $880 BILLION is a devastating cut to Medicaid, and an attack on Medicare. Anyone who votes for this budget is voting to cut Medicaid and gut health care for Medicare recipients in 🇺🇸.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGg7cr0...

When Republicans say "These tax cuts will pay for themselves" reporters should treat it the way they do "Trump won the 2020 election," as a proven lie that requires IMMEDIATE refutation in the reporter's voice, to make clear that they have repeated this assertion for decades and it never happens.

Hochul refuses to overstep her authority by...using her legal authority to remove the most blatantly openly criminal mayor in the history of NYC who has traded NYC's entire migrant population in exchange for presidential pardon but when a real crisis strikes, like a professor getting a job?

A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇 @housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the expense of the middle class.

House Republicans just passed a budget resolution that cuts trillions of $ from Medicaid, SNAP, housing support, special education, and more -- all so they can fund tax breaks for billionaires. Read our full response here: www.investinourny.org/post/new-yor...

Remember when Republicans wanted to impeach Bill Clinton because big donors got to stay a night in the Lincoln bedroom? Seems quaint now.

feels like more and more people determine “moderate” & “centrist” by vibes, not content. Trump’s NEA lady was quite friendly in her webinars, praised the hardworking staff, and certainly may seem “moderate” next to a screaming freak like RFK. but she came from Rick Scott and the Heritage Foundation

Had a conversation with a non political person whose buddy works for the forest service and was 10 months into his job supplying hard to reach parts of a national forest and was fired. The guy talking to me was like “I don’t really think my buddy’s $50,000 salary is gonna balance the budget.”
