Q: How evil do you have to be to cut a Dolly book program? A: Pretty f*cking evil. Solution: Dolly for Prez! Dolly Parton Calls Out Indiana Gov Over Plan to Dump Her Imagination Library www.thedailybeast.com/dolly-parton... cc @drjengunter.bsky.social

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

Trump's DOJ is preparing to put all incarcerated transgender women into men's facilities as early as next week, and according to NPR "the bureau is well aware of concerns about potential risks of assault, sexual violence and suicides"

This is beyond inhumane, it amounts to crimes against humanity. This is what trans women go through if they’re put in men’s prisons. It’s calls V-Coding and it’s a tough read, but do it anyway so you know what America has become. www.npr.org/2025/02/21/n...

Maine Governor Janet Mills is reportedly considering a run for the U.S. Senate against GOP incumbent Susan Collins. After taking on Donald Trump today, she’s shown that she has what it takes to win this race. support @GovJanetMills for the Senate!

Extortion, pure and simple.

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

📚 WATCH: “I can’t do much, but I can do this.” As Rutherford County and other districts ban hundreds of books, a SMYRNA book store owner is offering banned books for free. #BannedBooksBrigade Full: www.newschannel5.com/news/how-one...

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Stop mass deportations with this one simple trick: wapo.st/41apYFB (gift link)

House Republicans who were willing to hold town halls back home this week got an earful. At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, many of them faced hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts & mass firings of federal workers that Trump and Musk’s DOGE is carrying out.

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.

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

Nancy Mace is, among other things, just painfully stupid.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

It’s a cult.

The highest ranking trans person in the federal government was fired last week amid the broader purge. It was certainly political and targeted. 19thnews.org/2025/02/amy-...

Astonishing crowd inside Manhattan Criminal Court two hours before Luigi Mangione’s follow-up appearance. Organized chaos, people are in cordoned-off gaggles down the full length of the hall, chatting casually. Feels reminiscent of fans waiting for a concert ticket line to open.

Just had an excellent interview with @advocate.com, and I really think this one is worth your time to read.

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

With a measles outbreak growing in West Texas, and cases popping up across the country, experts say vaccination is your best protection. And it's not just for kids. Some adults may need a booster.

What in the absolute fuck is going on at the University of Cincinnati? For the record, trans men are just as biological as any other sort of man. They aren't made of metal or something.

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

The Maine Principal's Association said it would continue to allow trans girls to compete in school sports, saying President Trump's recent executive order is in conflict with state law.

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

1. Alabama, in a rush to pass an anti-trans law defining sex, may have also just formally greenlit sex-based segregation in many settings. The law, recently signed, ends legal recognition of transgender people. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob."  —FDR, 1936

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."
