“Welcome to the awkward new reality of global science: one superpower is turbocharging its research engine, while the other is pulling out spark plugs." -- a #Chinese professor #EconSky #Harvard

We had a good showing and supportive responses at 67th Ave and Happy Valley Rd. today. Thanks to all who came out! We'll be back for No Kings on 6/14. www.stepupcd8.com #StepUpCD8 #wheresabe @indivisible.org @azindivisible.bsky.social @nwvindivisible.bsky.social

Trump isn't even trying to hide his staggering corruption any more. There would be a mass uprising in many other countries if this happened to them.

Something about bread and circuses....

At this point Trump is just a senile old man swinging a bat at imaginary pinatas.

I wonder how Tim Cook is feeling right now, having bent the knee to Trump, thinking it was a rational, transactional move.

Thank god we got rid of DEI and brought back the meritocracy am I right?

Republicans to working people: fuck you, die fast so we can take your stuff.

this is kind of bonkers tbh the books have actual chatGPT prompts left in the text? what the

Rs dropped the manager’s amendment at 9pm. They’re planning to pass it through Rules shortly & through the full House TOMORROW MORNING w/out anyone understanding how the changes work & w/out any analysis of how it would affect people. Deliberately because they don’t want to wait for the analysis.

to the folks like peter baker, etc who parroted the idea that musk was stepping away from the WH: you fucking dumbasses

“This is a manufactured crisis because Congress wants to pass a massive tax cut for wealthy individuals, so they’re doing it on the backs of everyday working people."

So we have actual fact checkers who know all the facts? Why not create a TV channel where they just give us the facts? We could call it the News. #SteveThoughts

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

For those of a certain age... Remember when we loved to hate-read TV Guide reviews because the reviewers were limp dick alcoholics?

For over half a century, the National Weather Service has operated 24/7. But after the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency pushed to shrink the federal workforce, that’s no longer possible in parts of the country.

The Supreme Court holds that fascism is bad. Thomas and Alito dissent.

Weirdly, assassinate not in there.

This feels like the equivalent of a 18th century aristocrat walking up to someone in a parlor, slowly and dramatically taking off a glove, and using it to slap them across the face. www.crfb.org/blogs/extend...

So if you meet with these historians I'll tell you what to say Tell them that the Nazis Never really went away They're out there burning houses down And peddling racist lies And we'll never rest again... Until every Nazi dies... - Chumbawumba

Totally not mentally degenerate…

The F.B.I. is disbanding a unit that investigates members of Congress and federal employee fraud just as the Trump administration moves to sideline divisions handling public corruption.

More and more moderates are going to be calling to #AbolishICE as they learn about evil like this.

TEXAS — Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social: “I can’t think of anything more un-Christian than stealing from the poor to give to the rich.” The Republican agenda is not new. #RepublicanBudget #VoucherScam

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

The GOP "Big Beautiful" budget achieved its goal: tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. How did they afford it? By slashing benefits, gutting social programs, and raising taxes on the working class. Call (202) 224-3121 to tell your Rep this bill is bullshit.

Foreign communists are more dedicated to free trade than is the person who was sworn in as president of the United States of America.
