The organization RFK Jr formerly led is actively putting information out stating that the measles vaccine is to blame for this outbreak, not declining vaccination rates. It’s a lie. The measles vaccine is both incredibly effective and very safe. His rhetoric is responsible for these realities.

Spring is coming! It was in the double digits here today, everything melting, opened the windows. Okay, only for a day, but it was that first whiff of spring ☺️ timeline cleanse

MAGA influencers are out in full force tonight, making up things that were not in this resolution. Congrats on getting your $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy, $19 trillion in added deficit spending, and $880 billion in Medicaid cuts through this initial step, though.

Stay ANGRY. Get ORGANIZED. FIGHT BACK America.✨ Are you READY?! 🤚

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

WAKE UP STAND UP AND RISE UP ITS TIME TO TAKE AMERICA BACK

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt 🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT

Today's act of resistance: I made the phone calls, including to that guy I don't think will listen, but spite is empowering. And you know it's easy to let that little niggle of cynicism and hopelessness creep in, but I squashed it with tea and granola. Figuratively speaking.

Congratulations to @AVindman on the publication of his brilliant, prescient, and timely book, "The Folly of Realism." This, especially now, is an essential read. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/alexa...

Helena Hayes is really and truly simply gunning for Iowa libraries. This is another bill of hers, filed on February 10 and already through committee. It deprofessionalizes Iowa libraries.

Rather than violate their oath or comply with Musk’s illegal requests, 21 civil service employees resigned today from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (formerly the United States Digital Service), stating they would not use their technical expertise to dismantle critical public services.

This is the way.

Someday I will write a book on all of the things that people from male-dominated professions can do that teachers cannot & then I will ask why that is. But today is not that day, & I’ve got a 240 character limit. Suffice it to say, here’s another one.

Scoop: As federal health agencies are gutted, Kyle Diamantas, a Florida attorney w/ a slim resume + no prior gov't experience, is the new head of food safety at @US_FDA. Turns out, he's Donald Trump Jr.'s hunting buddy, @vanityfair.com is reporting exclusively: www.vanityfair.com/news/story/f... /1

Still not over this. May never be over this.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Never in our history has the US voted w/ Dictatorships at the expense of our Democratic allies—that is until today.  Trump has not only just ruined US credibility as a global leader, but set back the global fight for democratic values and peace.

Reminder: The House is expected to consider a budget resolution this week. Call your Congressional delegation: No tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. No cuts to Medicaid or our health care. Medicaid is the heath care safety net for all of us. Don't let them cut it.

ICYMI: Controversial anime is nothing new in Japan. But it’s rare for a commercial to become a subject of debate. A new spot for a packaged udon has some people asking how an ad for a seemingly simple product came out so…well, horny. https://buff.ly/3D0Xoi2

Shelves for young adult books in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, are empty. That's because the librarians have to read 30,000 books to check for "explicit content." (No such thing exists.) (This is a TREMENDOUS waste of taxpayer dollars). www.nola.com/news/livings...

Manga creators Kaoru Mori (A Bride's Story) and Aki Irie (Go with the Clouds, North by Northwest) will no longer have their works published in the Aokishi magazine, and will publish their works elsewhere going forward.

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them. Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

“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. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular.” — Timothy Snyder

💝Wholesome News! 'Old Man Yaoi' has officially entered a Japanese BL creator's lexicon and they couldn't be happier. Their manga didn't sell well in Japan so they were shocked & thrilled to have SO many Eng. super-fans 😊 OG thread with all conversations & posts: gongyussy.tumblr.com/post/7723087...

Don’t be a nice person…

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

Hey: If you made it through the week, and you tried to do some things to help other people — large or small — where you could, and you need to hear it, I’m here to tell you thank you. Get some rest. Figure out today, then figure out tomorrow.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

“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.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread
