This is going to get people killed.

Heroin addict and roadkill enthusiast, RFK Jr. kills flu shot campaigns and cancels a major vaccination conference.

Just so everybody is clear on Republican priorities: We put up an amendment to make sure nobody making over $500 million gets a tax cut. Republicans voted against it.

No matter how rich Elon is now, or how much more wealth he ever amasses in the future, he will still be a humorless, talentless, overrated loser.

Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. apnews.com/article/musk...

MAGA is aggressively turning their own base against them. Only been a month. This is an addition to the thousands of jobs they've cut.

W/ Kash Patel's confirmation, he now has the power to weaponize the FBI against his so-called "enemies" Weaponizing law enforcement is a tactic used by autocrats around the globe—but Americans can push back We discuss how👇-TN www.brookings.edu/articles/dem...

Trump’s EO ruining the independence of federal agencies shows the real goal of Musk and Trump is not efficiency or even winning the culture wars. It’s thievery. And they are *exceptional* thieves. My latest in @thenation.com

Al the work that went into holding the police accountable for needlessly executing Black people is being undone. This is just the start of their revenge planning. www.axios.com/2025/02/21/d...

NEW: We spoke with federal workers grappling with symptoms of paranoia around technology due to DOGE's incursion, including some fearful of their own home networks, and take a hard look at the range of tools the government currently uses to monitor its workforce: www.wired.com/story/survei...

This BETTER OUTRAGE EVERYONE DO YOU KNOW HOW HELPFUL AND NECESSARY THESE VISITS ARE??? CALL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES 202 224-3121 THIS IS WRONG !!!

As the US regresses, the United Nations and EU, especially former colonial powers (e.g. 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇪🇸🇵🇹) should address inequities in global mobility for Black people and queer people, who are often trapped in nations full of issues due to imperialism. Brain drain and proximity migration policy is not justice.

www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut... This story is wild AF! I’m not surprised though. The bigotry is thick in this country.

Oh yay, we scrapped WBer training. Always a great sign. @markzaidesq.bsky.social @andrewbakaj.bsky.social

Guys, I'm sure Musk & co. will stop at USAID. No chance they try to pull the same maneuver, and shut down the Department of Labor or Education. No way!

Um, people need to stop and read this. Musk’s team is looking at the coding of the Treasury payment system. prospect.org/economy/2025...

This is a great piece. "As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

"liberals need to get into the business of identifying the problems that real Americans face (which honestly, is something they could stand to relearn how to do) and more forcefully blame Trump for those problems’ continued existence"

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

A short thread with some tips about Trump fatigue and the next few years: 1. Be prepared to pace yourself. Had too much for one day? Shut it down. Dig into work and hobbies. Find enjoyment.

Fiction becomes Fact.

This is a perfect sentence: "All we’ve gotten in the past decade is example after example of how little these people know about anything other than making apps that destroy something you previously loved, by hollowing it out into a subscription service that no longer works and everyone hates."

New from 404 Media: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary messenger themes. Comes amid Meta's now allowing users to target trans and gay people, and as Musk says Facebook lifting restrictions on "mainstream discourse" www.404media.co/meta-deletes...

Republicans on the NC Supreme Court just blocked certification of a Democratic justice's election win. Her GOP opponent is trying to throw out 60,000 ballots cast in November, citing debunked far-right legal theories. This assault on democracy should be a national scandal.

This is a form of state-sanctioned torture, plain and simple.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Only 13 states have outlawed child marriage while 26 states have banned healthcare for trans kids and we're supposed to be civil and dignified about all of it www.newsweek.com/child-marria...

America's founders understood that true justice was a critical checks on the demagoguery that always threatens democracy. That's why Merrick Garland's justice-delayed, justice-denied tenure is the low point of Team Biden's failure to meet the moment My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Blood Center of New Orleans is critically low so they're opening up at least one donation center today in response to the needs from terrorist attack. If you can donate, today is a great day to do it. All types accepted.

watching a christian devotional movie being screened at my parent’s church and not only is this script terrible but a key, late film plot point is a bunch of warehouse workers eagerly taking on a 24-hour shift with no additional pay just so their boss can get a new contract

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

Russia intentionally bombed the regional cancer hospital in Kherson in its most recent terrorist attack in Ukraine.

There is no way to cut $2.5T in spending unless you make cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. My parent’s social security check should not be cut to pay for President Elon Musk’s massive billionaire tax cuts.

I wrote about a fundamental problem with algorithmic social media—that it was developed by misfits and cynics to diminish the value of interpersonal cohesion—and how conservative have exploited it to finally build the noxious, dominant counterculture they always wanted.

If you think Trump's mass deportation will target felons not families, think again. This man is more likely to be deported than a violent criminal. Yet he's a hard working father, husband, tax payer devoted to his community. He's done what he can to earn citizenship. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/15/u...

Kitten timeline cleanse! Walter wishes you a good day.

This is a must-read. A teacher of 34 years is disciplined for having four books containing LGBTQ characters. Great article by another independent media source, Popular.info popular.info/p/ohio-teach...

For people who saw the clip of me advocating for a new opposition movement and are asking for more info, here is the piece I wrote laying it out. I hope you read, share and act. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/buil...

Last week, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced a historic $1.8 BILLION settlement for 4.3 million people who were charged illegal fees or defrauded by credit repair companies. Remember this the next time a billionaire says they want to get rid of the CFPB.

Nick Fuentes was arrested for battery; the infamous neo-Nazi allegedly pepper-sprayed a woman after she rang his doorbell and then escalated the situation by pushing her down the stairs. He was booked on November 27th and is scheduled to appear in court on December 19th.

A small sampling of why Elon wants to eliminate federal watchdog agencies...
