Frankly it’s embarrassing how much George Orwell’s “1984” gets wrong about 1984. The publisher should update it to be more accurate, e.g. “Winston heard ‘Eat It’ by Weird Al Yankovic playing on the radio. ‘I’d hate to be Michael Jackson right now!’ he said to Big Brother”

We want to take a moment to express how proud we are of you, America. You have stood up and spoken out every step of the way—especially when Congress and the media remained silent. When we called for help, you answered.

Elon Musk is a terrible president!

USAID, currently being shut down by Elon Musk, purchases about $2 billion annually in rice, wheat, lentils, and peas from American farmers.

In honor of black inventors. #BlackHistoryMonth

Trump claims he’s on the side of the working class. Really?

The reckless decision to release billions of gallons of water from the Terminus and Schafer Dams is already hurting farms and farmers. It’s a massive waste. I'm demanding answers from the Army Corps of Engineers about what happened. And why.

People are talking about having to change their CVs in order to continue to work with certain grant funded programs or for their own program to be contracted for services. Can't specialize in black folk/culture/community anything.

i dunno. i think when someone invokes the Fifth Amendment during their confirmation hearing to be director of the FBI, something is amiss. @kashpatel.bsky.social #bloop

Amid today’s massive NIH cuts to universities, please know that my research colleagues: - Develop new cancer treatments for kids - Are curing sickle cell disease - Build new tech to help premature babies survive - Prevent teens from dying of drug overdose - And more #NIH #MedSky #research #science

Is the criteria to be an FBI agent swearing allegiance to the Constitution? Or is it swearing allegiance to Donald Trump?

The guy so overtly fascist and pro-eugenics that even Musk fired him from DOGE? Yeah, Trump is rehiring him www.cnbc.com/2025/02/07/e...

Oops 😬

Another of musk's youth turns out to have a shady past, this one for leaking secrets. Particularly important given that he has unlawfully been given access to the private information of all government employees www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

“A president is not a king”. “A law is not a suggestion”. “We have a constitutional crisis”. Senator Jeff Merkley, ranking Democratic Party member of the US Senate Budget Committee, just now.

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

LOOK CLOSER: My oldest son operates a 300k crane. It's a big crane. Today, he was sent home early because the undocumented workers who do the hard, labor-intensive work staging the loads to be picked up didn't come to work. His current job site, which is usually bustling, is a ghost town.

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
