You want to cry? Donate. You want to fight? Donate. You are full of rage? Donate. You are ashamed and sorry? Donate. You want a peace for Ukraine and the whole world? Donate. #UkrainianView

If you are upset about how Trump and Vance treated Zelensky, you need to tell your Congressmen loud and clearly that you want this stopped and that they need to stand up, Does no good if we just complain to each other

What you should know about measles in Montana www.kpax.com/news/montana...

www.propublica.org/article/ted-...

Measles is preventable.

"Before widespread vaccination, measles caused 5 to 10% of hearing-loss cases in the US. Worldwide, measles was a leading cause of blindness among children; as many as 60,000 a year lost sight because of the disease." Who needs another measles vaccine dose? www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Small start but I’m on board with this idea. @shematologist.medsky.social

Who else is in? Seems like one of the only tools we have left.

DOGE is canceling government contracts that help veterans. Records show among the 875 contracts were arrangements to help medical services, fund cancer programs, recruit doctors, and provide burial services to veterans.

The entire crew of paid, coordinated right-wing influencers all blasted out this pre-planned lie in unison last night. Rinse, repeat. I guess they think when people don’t have tax free tips/overtime in their paychecks, they might not notice. Good luck with that after you hype it.

On the HHS Leadership call today: 1 employee from CMS (Center for Medicare/Medicaid Service) and 2 employees from SSA (Social Security Administration) have died by suicide after their firing.

A ProPublica investigation spurred a criminal inquiry into the practice of oncologist Thomas C. Weiner. Still, his medical license has been renewed by the state of Montana.

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists. So much for "drain the swamp."

Fuck AirBnB

“We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans’ sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services,” they wrote. “We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE’s actions.”

“There is common sense and common ground in the middle, and when the country gets back to that, we’ll be stronger, before it gets to the point where it can’t be rebuilt." - Former U.S. Sen. Tester, starting a podcast with @maritsageorgiou.bsky.social. dailymontanan.com/2025/02/24/t... #mtpol

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.

Voter suppression is rarely sold by politicians as such. Instead it comes by way of logistical challenges such as reducing the number of ballot boxes in communities of color in Georgia, intimidation by “poll watchers” in Texas, or restrictive voter I.D. laws.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

"In public health...reckless cuts may look good on a balance sheet today but could cost Americans far more in the long run—both in dollars and in lives." #Medsky .

Are we great yet, America? It hasn't seemed particularly great to me lately, but hey, I've been wrong before, so I started asking around… johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/is-america...
