I'll come up with a proper bio eventually. Until then, not a bot, just your average electrically powered meat mech trying to survive the daily horrors of capitalism.

America: Importing rapists and exporting Dreamers.

NEW: Backstory on VA's decision to cancel roughly 1000 contracts worth $2B. DOGE apparently made no effort to find out what they were for and didn't both to find out they were putting of of business numerous service-disabled vet businesses with their decision. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/more-...

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr has paused multiple vaccine projects – including one to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form.

This is a straight ban on purchasing at #NIH — for cancer trials, treating patients, and developing cures. @chrislhayes.bsky.social Almost all purchases at NIH are made on govt credit cards. It’s clear what’s happening: Trump/Musk are blowing up the govt using devious… 1/ www.forbes.com/sites...

Trump, Hegseth, Gaetz, RFK Jr and Mills have made it partisan to oppose domestic violence.

Thinking back to when Trump pardoned the Blackwater contractors who massacred civilians in Nisoor Square.

Whoever puts this on their list of five things they did this week should get the employee of the year award

Ooh, I know: the Black guy and the woman. Not qwhite sure why, though.

One thing DOGE has gutted is an effort to REFORM how the US divvies up donated organs. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

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 This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.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...

Maybe hating on dick bosses is the great unifier, the thing that brings all Americans together.

Another win! This morning, we killed a bill that would have taken $50M of the Montana budget and spent it on cyrptocurrency, NFTs, and precious metals.

“We fired all the guards at the bank so they’re not roadblocks to anything that happens.”

Here’s the thing about this. Evangelicals are the largest percentage of homeschoolers in this country BY FAR. And Evangelicals also DEEPLY believe in spanking and hitting their children as a disciplinary measure. So following those threads you can see wanting to repeal this makes complete sense

They learned something from their first term. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a grift is a good guy with principles. So this time they're firing all the good guys with principles.

Only 6,500 participants have enrolled in a program that has cost taxpayers more than $86 million — a warning for other states looking to impose restrictions on Medicaid in a second Trump presidency. By @savmargaret.bsky.social

Americans are so cooked! OG post: www.reddit.com/r/questions/...

THIS IS HOW YOU STAND UP: EEOC admin judge Karen Ortiz resisted an order to hand over all LGBT cases for “review” and told colleagues to resist too. She knows she’ll likely to be fired. “I can exist on cornflakes and community if it means that my soul is intact.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

A president rapidly sundowning into full-blown dementia ambiguously handed power over the entire government to a delusional billionaire drug addict in a made-up illegal quasi-office and the Cabinet is split over whether their departments have to listen to his mad orders. It's day 34.

You GUYYYYSSSSSSS The military choir sang Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Mis at the governor's dinner at the white house. Thanks to @beebrookshire.bsky.social for helping me fact check tihs one. As far as I can it's only "officially" been posted on Dan Scavino's FB

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

What some Republicans are missing when they say Trump is the only person who can bring peace to Ukraine is... it's incorrect. Ukraine doesn't want peace. Ukraine wants sovereignty. They'll fight until they either get it or can't fight.

If RFK Jr. actually cared about medication safety he would have worked to empower the FDA. Instead he is gutting the FDA and proposing that untested therapies be available (sold - it all comes down to profiting off their positions of power) to the public with no protections in place.

It's sickening how Texas is trying to cover up the harm their laws are causing to women by just refusing to let anyone know. Shutting down or hamstringing agencies that track maternal mortality, removing reporting requirements, anything they can do to not acknowledge that women are being harmed.

NEW: Donald Trump fired a bunch of veterans today while simultaneously hindering care for veterans. In a month or so, republicans in Congress will cut food stamps so these veterans won’t be able to feed themselves or their families. I wonder how many of them voted for Trump.

Republicans are feeling the heat and trying to squirm away from Musk's unpopular cuts. Don't let them.

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

NEW: Georgia’s governor promotes his Medicaid work requirement as a national model for reform. Yet the program has cost taxpayers $86M, three-quarters of which has gone to consultants, and enrolled less than 3% of the quarter-million Georgians eligible.

Y’all, this is just disgusting. Unsurprising, but disgusting nonetheless. With Republicans, the cruelty is the point.

NEW: At least 200 Afghan Americans in the U.S. military have relatives who applied for refugee status only to be blocked by Trump’s refugee ban. “We serve this country because it protected us, but now it is abandoning my sister,” said one soldier. By @lomikriel.bsky.social

I absolutely hate it here.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

Fascinating how many liberals want to accept the unproved premise that we are less happy and justify it. I reject even the premise. Self-reporting is not a reliable measure. Considering how conservatives *act* like bitter, angry people, I'd think they aren't as happy as they say.

Facts over lies. Any time.

ProPublica and @texastribune.org have identified nearly a dozen immigrants who have been flown to Guantanamo Bay. Government officials have refused to release the names of detainees or provide details about the crimes that landed them in detention. By Perla Trevizo and @micarosenberg.bsky.social

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

Saying people are addicted to SSRIs is like saying people are addicted to wheelchairs.

A bad faith actor…

Kudos to the school administrator who wrote this letter for making it clear to families what happened and who they should blame. This is the way to build a coalition--with a shared adversary and a reason to fight.

When we say we need theater kid energy, this is what we mean. Stubborn, joyful, rebellious, and loud.

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/
