What do we do with it? Stop reading the chickenshit NYT.

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...

So, Drumpf has fired the first woman Coast Guard Commander and first Black JCOS. One might think he is threatened by people if excellence who actually earned their positions rather than having them bought by their rich daddies and oligarch sugar daddies. Just sayin'

🎉 This is the best news in a month!! Hold the line, America.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Looking forward to having Trump read your mail?

WE LOVE TO SEE IT. Watch these West Bend, Wisconsin constituents laying into their Republican rep. 📢

Note the use of the royal "we."

Your tax dollars will be paying the wrongful termination settlements for thousands of unjustly fired federal workers. Think about it.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

But but RFK Jr. promised he woudn’t do crazy things! Pinky swear and all!

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

Congratulations America. You finally have your dictator officially. Fascistastic.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

This morning, the US National Science Foundation fired 168 employees, approximately 10% of its workforce, for no cause other than they were the agency's most recent hires. 🧪 Co-workers are leaving supportive messages before they have to clear out of the building at 5 p.m. Sent to me by a source ⬇️

Sweet Jesus!

CONSUMER POWER. Americans are dumping their favorite stores in a backlash against corporations that have shifted their public policies to align with the Trump administration. See reporting on a recent poll in @theguardian.com
