Woke or biology? There are actually more than the basic “male” XY & “female” XX sexes. Why? Because biology also creates people with single X chromosomes, or extra chromosomes like XXX, XXY, XYY, or XXX+, plus many 🧬genes. 👉All I’m asking is— please be kind to others. Thanks🙏

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

"51 employees at CIA and the Office of Director of National Intelligence received calls Friday from their human resources office telling them to report to the visitors center at CIA headquarters in Virginia at 8AM on Tuesday with their badges and without lawyers..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Think of the bankers! They need another 15 BDR mansion or a third private plane. We the masses only need to feed ourselves, and we can go without eating right!?

I'm sure it's just a coincidence...

Taxpayers pay Elon Musk $8M a day and he’s already got 2 new government contracts totaling $38.4B since Trump came into office. DOGE isn’t about America. Boy didn’t want the gravy train to stop… youtu.be/j73qj9DbkWg

Yesterday was a victory for Moscow and for Putin. And it was a defeat for the United States and Ukraine, and for the international order and the cause of freedom. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social, @martynwendell.bsky.social, and Ben Parker:

Outrageous. Why are corporations so fucking evil? How many mansions and yachts does one person need that you feel exploiting others, let alone children is acceptable? youtu.be/3295wEpmajo?...

Egg prices are surging, gas prices are up, and planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. And this is what the White House is focused on.

How could this not possibly violate a slew of federal laws?

Elon Musk's friends have infiltrated another government agency: the General Services Administration. His former employees are trying to use White House credentials to access GSA's tech, giving them the potential to remote into laptops, read emails, and more:

BREAKING NEWS: Research and basic information on subjects ranging from tuberculosis surveillance to adolescent health disappeared from federal health agency websites.

24 Democrats voted to confirm this person.

Let's not miss the forest for the trees, the chaos is a means to an end ...

I have no words ...

Trump fired the NLRB's pro-worker general counsel and its acting chair. He's effectively gutted the agency tasked with defending the rights of workers to organize. Guess who has recently filed lawsuits aimed at invalidating the agency altogether? Amazon and SpaceX.

Many health professionals are lining up against Trump's pick for health secretary. They say his anti-vaccine views could cost lives. Some of his supporters embrace his stance.

Vaccines save lives period

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

I am completely unsurprised

but with federal health agencies muzzled, the American public will find out too late. because if you don't talk about it it's not real right? oh but them egg prices, rock bottom am I right!?

Eric Barone, the creator of Stardew Valley, keeps updating his video game. And has no plans of stopping.

Square Enix considering legal action against use of a third-party tool in Final Fantasy 14, says Naoki Yoshida www.eurogamer.net/square-enix-...

this new administration's approach to everything has a Dolores Unbridge feel to it but with far more serious consequences...

Nothing to see here, just classic dictator move, gotta keep the people ignorant. Hey, but what we don't know about can't hurt us right? ...

The National Treasury Employees Union said that it has sued President Trump to block an executive order that would enable him to fire career federal workers across the government.

All the nazis were pretty sure it was a nazi salute

Energy EO holds up EV charging funding to states already appropriated by Congress. If fewer charging stations get built, fewer cars will drive on electricity. This will be bad for emissions, but it will also increase gasoline use, which will raise, gasoline prices. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This is one of the least odious things today, but I'm glad to see that the plan to lower egg prices includes ::checks notes:: protracted and costly legal battles with federal unions. Cool. www.npr.org/2025/01/20/n...

This is the GOP’s long con on full display.
