Crockett: We had an opportunity to have a woman lead this country and I promise you, she would have led us to the promised land. But instead we got somebody that seems like he wants to take to us hell

This is the way.

Remember—we must be peaceful and civil but loud. Let your voices be heard, your presence be felt. But do it with peace. The administration will look to discredit. They will look for propaganda to silence. Don’t fall into that trap. Bring your peace and your voice. #resistance #fiftyfiftyone

The firehose that was the Age of Information has lead to the Age of Denialism. Influenced by conservative distrust of government and corporate rejection of science that conflicted with their profits our society has eroded its trust in each other and our institutions that hold it together. #Politics

Coup. Say the word. They’re not “auditing.” They’re not “investigating.” They’re overthrowing.

JD Vance got caught spreading misinformation in Munich, and @AOC had time today.

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly. Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences. The public must turn on this madness and soon.

Maddow: If you don't have Bluesky yet, I recommend it. It is a social media network that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

So happy to see Alt USAID on Blue Sky. Give them an add and share their stuff, please

The history books will write about the Alt accounts and their resistance to authoritarianism.

Call your R reps. If you have a regional accent, make the most of it. Tell them you didn't vote for CANCER and ask them what the hell they're gonna do to stop Musk and Trump. reps.fyi

If there's one thing we want scientists🧪 to take away this weekend it's this: "Local [TV] channels talk to faculty all the time." Lots is happening. Legal & political efforts will gear up. Organizing scientists is key—but will take time. But every scientist can call their local TV station today.

People seeking treatment for opioid addiction shouldn’t have to navigate endless barriers just to get the care they need. My bill will expand access to methadone by allowing pharmacies to dispense it and physicians to prescribe it, putting people over profits and saving lives.

I’m so tired of them. I’m tired of their lies. I’m tired of their disgusting amorality. I’m tired of their faces, their voices, their smirks. I’m tired of their inability to say — let alone do — even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate, ever. So tired.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.
