They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

“Black Press USA has learned that Trump officials are sending back exhibit items to their rightful owners and dismantling them—starting with the 1960 Woolworth’s lunch counter sit-in exhibit.” blackpressusa.com/the-smithson...

RFKjr intends to institute a registry in order to track people who are autistic. Say a big, HELL NO to this effin' Nazi behavior. Because registry lists are exactly how it began in Germany 90 years ago. Call your congressperson. Call your senators. Make some damn noise. Get loud.

Here is an up to date list of Big Law collaborators along with how much in free legal services they have pledged to Trump's causes. Paul Weiss 40M Cadwalader 100M Milbank 100M Skadden Arps 100M Willkie Farr 100M A&O Shearman 125M Kirkland & Ellis 125M Latham & Watkins 125M Simpson Thacher 125M

This is, in addition to very obviously denying people benefits and clearly excluding the vast majority of seniors, a violation of federal law on accessibility, especially since X requires users to log in and agree to the terms of service to see published content.

23andMe declared bankruptcy and the company is gonna be sold off for parts. That includes your DNA information and the only amount of control you have is to delete your info immediately. It’s very simple to do. Gift link: wapo.st/4kUsBEF

Everything we have stood around the world going back 80 years - collective security, honoring alliances, helping friends & allies, feeding the hungry, treating & curing diseases, humanitarian aid, the rule of law, broadcasting truthful news to people who can’t get it - all gone.

you want to mock Republicans for being stupid racists then Dems for being enabling racists then lefties for being theoretically obsessed racists BUT NO ONE IS GOING huh maybe the focus on racists is SILENCING EVERYONE ELSE WHICH IS WHAT THEY WANT

BREAKING: Elon Musk's rocket explosion nearly hit a commercial flight. This kind of content is being downranked on X. Please share it here. This is so dangerous.

For me, fighting fascism has nothing to do with thinking I’ll win. I don’t fight because there’s an inevitable outcome, I fight because I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do something.

The former head of the Social Security Administration says he expects the agency to miss on some payments over the next three months, interrupting some people's benefits, for the first time in Social Security's history of eight decades: www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...

Received this message via Signal from a former FAA worker who lost their job. Person works for Enroute Navigation Charts for Pilots and Air Traffic Control.

The Trump Administration has done more damage to the United States, our institutions, our interests, our standing in the world, the world order we have fought and sacrificed for a century to establish in the past four weeks than all the enemies of the US managed to inflict during the past 250 years.

Founded in response to the 2007 financial crash, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has delivered $21 billion back into Americans’ pocketbooks by cracking down on payday lenders, overdraft fees, canceled debts, and more. (1/2)

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

I don't think, when most people think about the status of "undocumented", they even consider the possibility of *becoming undocumented, as in having legal status and arbitrarily having it stripped away

🚨The Trump admin will kick 300,000+ Venezuelans off of TPS in 60 days, rendering them undocumented and forcing them to lose jobs and stability. Combined with tariffs, this will be another huge blow to the economy; nearly all are working legally now. And another 300,000 will lose status in September!

🏆 Governor Pritzker- Illinois - has signed an order prohibiting all J6 rioters from state employment.

The guy from The Apprentice, who hired a Fox weekend host to run the Pentagon and a cast member from the Real World to run the FAA (the two agencies associated with the incident) says the real cause of a deadly plain crash is DEI.

If anyone knows of any extra-help, substitute librarian or library worker jobs (especially in the Bay Area) please kindly send them my way! (: I’ve applied to a couple of places, but either haven’t heard back or they went with someone else. Long live libraries! ✨💚📚

I have to amplify this excellent post by @drgrahamwalker.com. Every day that passes with health agencies being crippled from informing the public and health professionals on myriad health or drug related concerns puts us all at risk. We will not be greater, but we will surely be sicker for it.

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. Do I have this right?

Regenerative farmers can be sane, scientifically literate, Black, Indigenous, non-religious, non-crunchy, non-alt-right, feminist, accepting of plant based diets, urban born, and a heterosexual male, all at the same time. Retweet this and/or follow me to see what that looks like.

I’m seeing a lot of confusion about the Equal Rights Amendment online. I've been working on the ERA for 13 years & literally wrote a book about it. So, let me help answer some questions. 1) Yes, it really is a real amendment & fully part of the U.S. Constitution. Full stop.

Elon Musk: Why isn’t there enough water in California? Grok (burning through an entire lake to generate an answer): Wokeness

There are many stories with various levels of detail on this but I encourage everyone who can to read them all so that they can get the full picture. An NICU nurse was breaking the bones of newborns because they were Black. This is what we are up against while people are worried about immigrants.

Billionaires give you the empowering feelings you like You give them the real, actual power they like Feels like winning, doesn't it?

As ever, the loss of something good and useful for Americans is framed as a loss for Democrats — in the mass media, everything becomes just a political football to be kicked back and forth instead of examined for its impact on everyday citizens regardless of political party.

Alabama sends $ 1.75 per day to counties to feed prisoners. Steve Bright tells us how the Morgan County Sheriff actually *made* money: by serving incarcerated people nothing but corn dogs. #DemandTheImpossible
