🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

x.com/marcorubio/s... Marco Rubio, destroying nations, starving children, and spreading diseases do not serve the United States’ interests. They only serve the Trump Administration. History will remember exactly who did the killing. Textbooks will show that it’s you, Musk, and Trump.

Target is facing a 40-day consumer boycott starting Wednesday over the company’s shift away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

If you don't pay close attention to German politics, you don't know how much of a political earthquake it is to see a _CDU_ leader making this kind of statement.

I’ve led USAID-funded projects. The vast majority of USAID funding stays in the US as payments to US farmers, US companies, US suppliers, US carriers, US contractors & US nonprofits. While on USAID projects, we had to fly US airlines, even though other airlines were more affordable, for example. 🧵

The 50 state 50 protest on February 5 is at your state capitol

Regardless of what one thinks of the history of the NSA, this is some really shameful shit.

More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a New York Times analysis found. The purges have removed information about vaccines, veterans’ care, hate crimes, scientific research and more.

This is what Trump’s cruelty and chaos has unleashed.

My <loved ones> have been sitting in front of <cable news channel> for 15+ years. They struggle to access/absorb media beyond the 24hour “news” content they have grown accustomed to ingesting. What one podcast or other media would you recommend to help them access ideas beyond their bubble?

Some politicians and pundits are pushing the idea that immigrants are more likely to commit crimes. Not only is that claim false, the opposite is true.

The reason why 83% of Trump supporters favor tariffs is because we (Democrats) don’t have the media ecosystem setup to tell them why this is bad.

So much of this election was fact vs fiction on the campaign side and informed vs uninformed on the voter side. Spreading misinformation is clearly intentional, but many voters mistakenly believed their media sources were trustworthy. today.yougov.com/politics/art...

“In 2022, YouGov asked “What percentage of Americans do you think are ___?” The results were hilarious. Trans: 21% Muslim: 27% Jewish: 30% Black: 41% Live in NYC: 30% Gay or lesbian: 30% The errors are off by orders of magnitude. The trans estimation by 2,000%.” www.thebulwark.com/p/americans-...

BREAKING: The U.S. House just passed a bill that could devastate nonprofits, chill free speech, and hand Trump unchecked power. Why H.R. 9495 is a disaster waiting to happen and why the U.S. Senate must reject it. ⬇️

"What I Saw on the Campaign Trail." These two paragraphs — by John Avlon, a former journalist turned Democratic candidate in New York's 1st Congressional District— come closer to describing legacy media's portion of the blame than just about anything I have read. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-i-saw...

I would like Rep. Jason Smith (R-Missouri) to explain why the US House Committee on Ways and Means refused, even when requested, to include due process in H.R. 9495. How do you justify this? www.c-span.org/video/?c5142...

Breaking via @npquarterly.bsky.social: HR 9495, bill that would let Treasury strip nonprofits of status if unilaterally deemed to be supporting "terrorism" has passed the House largely along party lines with Republicans supporting. #npsky #nonprofitsky #polisky nonprofitquarterly.org/hr-9495-bill...

HR9495 House vote (live now). Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA): This bill would grant "sweeping draconian powers to the executive branch to essentially shut down any nonprofit ... based on an accusation." #npsky #nonprofitsky #polisky nonprofitquarterly.org/bill-threate...

HR 9495 vote. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) The Treasury will be allowed to affix the label "terrorism-supporting" to any nonprofit without going to court. #nonprofitsky #npsky #polisky nonprofitquarterly.org/bill-threate...
