“Is the US Heading for a Recession Under Trump and Musk?” As the far-right broligarchy takes an axe to the federal government, & job losses mount, writes ⁦‪@graceblakeley‬⁩.bsky.socia for Zeteo, the signs of an impending downturn are clear. Read/share/subscribe:

There are about as many intersex people in the world as there are redheads— ~1.7% of the world's population. So claiming there are only two biological sexes is like claiming there are only two hair colors: Brown & Yellow. Now consider how you'd regard someone who loudly & repeatedly insisted that…

Also the collective GDP of the EU + UK + Norway is around $24 trillion compared to $2 trillion for Russia. We have vastly more resources if we choose to use them.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to pause cyber and information operations against Russia as President Trump seeks to bring Putin to the negotiating table to end the war in Ukraine.

Don't travel to the US if you can help it 😬 www.kpbs.org/news/border-...

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

‘We’re losing decades of our life to this illness’ -- #LongCOVID patients on the fear of being forgotten. Five years after pandemic began, millions of people still face debilitating symptoms, by @kathryn42.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/society/2025... via @theguardian.com #COVID19

This is 100% bullshit. There are no algorithms. Musk and his incel clown posse are not forensic accountants and do not know how to audit. Discovering fraud is a labor-intensive project that can never be done by looking at payments alone. This is just a thinly-veiled rationale to gut Social Security.

This does *not* mean no flu shots in the US next year - not by itself, anyway. The WHO picked and published their recommended strains as always. This year. It’s an A/H1N1, an A/H3N2, and a B/Austria (+ a B/Phuket for quadrivalent shots*). US manufacturers *can* still use the WHO guidelines.

Hey @nytimes.com , growing anti-trans hate and policies in the US and Canada played a direct role in my trans nephew's death by suicide. And that was a year ago, before the level of ⬆️hatred we're seeing today. I would say that was incredibly negative and consequential for him. This is not a game.

Eh Canada, Pierre would be on his knees in the oval office handing over the rights to every thing Canadians hold near and dear. Don't elect someone so weak.

Many Canadians got to know Anita Anand during the pandemic — when she calmly informed us each day that more and more vaccines were arriving in Canada. She’s a dedicated public servant and good friend, and I’m so glad she’s running again. Now, let’s go win this, together.
