I dunno. This is all so maddening. Maybe we let him do it and when the next big crash happens, the families of all deceased passengers can have a go at Leon like the Handmaids did for Fred..?

We should be writing Project 2029—defining the society we want, clearly and publicly. Let’s start today.

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

This doesn’t exist and will literally save $0

Democrats should not vote for government funding that allows Elon Musk and his goons to remain in government. If Republicans want to cede control over the purse, then they can do that themselves. Removing Elon must be the bare minimum for Democrats.

@chrischirp.bsky.social doing an incredible job describing a possible dystopian future for UK science modeled on Trump. Chilling but not at all far-fetched. I particularly love the Orwellian names of the legislation that will dismantle it all. christinapagel.substack.com/p/a-dystopia...

A first signal from the Supreme Cult that they will cooperate in the dismantling of the Constitution?

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

This is evil. Pure evil.

Shout it louder!!!

I am ordering all of my opinion-writing employees to only write about the importance of personal liberty, if they don't want to write on the assigned topic, they will lose their jobs

Oh, this is terrible news - West Northants Council about to destroy one of the few things that Northampton can be really proud about www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm just going to say--this is really bad, yes, but also expected, and also they've pushed the IDR recertification to the end of the year. www.forbes.com/sites/adammi...

Actually I pay my taxes so these government employees can do the jobs that our elected representatives decided they should do. Answering emails from a South African neo-Nazi who hasn’t slept in four days is something else

Destroying higher education to own the libs!

“Call all of your elected officials, write them, text them, email them. Do it early and often. Do it repeatedly. Everybody from your local city council to your US Senator, because pressure bursts pipes.” Fmr federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner @glennkirschner.bsky.social Watch the interview here:

The Secretary in charge of the most powerful military in the world is working for LibsofTikTok now. Why anyone would join the military today is a question that will haunt us for decades.

aint no way we cut medicaid and housing assistance so jeff bezos could buy this shirt

The men told NPR they were kept in the dark about why they were in Guantánamo Bay, and were denied access to an attorney or a phone call with loved ones.

Well played Ms Dent, well played 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is insane

To be clear: this was a chat room where trans people discussed medical procedures and surgeries. There was nothing "pornographic" about it, except in the imaginings of the bigots who deem every aspect of trans life pornographic. This is a purge of all trans employees, and nothing less.

I’d love to support a political party that supports higher education and academic freedom, but we don’t have one of those.

The near miss on a tarmac in Chicago is small part of a much, much bigger problem. Here's what's happening: youtube.com/shorts/d4fz3...

This map explains it all.

RESPECT!!!

Using a MAGA hat to avoid social situations.

The Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate in Romania, Calin Georgescu has been arrested. Authorities raided him like the crook he is and found at least $10 million in cash and tickets to Moscow. He may have also bumped his head a little bit too.

“A young Venezuelan who was deported back to his country said he was "traumatized" by his time in a U.S. military prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.” www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

The United States is literally for sale

Neal: "Look at the alignment. $1.2t here for cuts, but $1.2t for tax cuts. Oh, let me figure that one out. They are going to cut Medicaid to justify what it is that they want to do."

💥 BREAKING: At Apple's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders today, proposal entitled “Request to Cease DEI Efforts" is rejected by shareholders. Right-wing nonprofit National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) proposal was also rejected by Costco shareholders 98-2 percent.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

It would be hilarious if it wasn't so bloody dangerous.

For accessibility: posting the chief information officer's resignation letter with alt text ⬇️

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY familiarize yourself with the names of Trump’s shock troops…

Hey, @ox.ac.uk, how about an honorary degree for this woman pilot with a PhD in aviation safety, whose employer hired a crooked psychiatrist to label her mentally ill after she blew the whistle on safety practices? She fought (for years) and won. www.seattletimes.com/business/boe...

Truth to power. Well done, @martinmckee.bsky.social academic.oup.com/eurpub/advan...

wow! I am shocked 🙄 Who knew putting an Anti -Vaxer as the head of the Health and Human Services (HHS) would lead to them rolling back vaccinations!? Shocked 🙄 #AntiVax #HealthAndHumanServices #VaccinationRollbacks #PublicHealthCrisis #VaccineAwareness #HealthPolicy #HHS #ImmunizationMatters

This, I would love this. No more gender markers.

Check this thread and keep up. Coastal California is not always the progressive paradise often shown on TV and in movies. #history #Presidio #JapaneseAmericans

NEWS: In USDA, multiple people have been asked to report the names of LGBTQ employee resource group leaders to higher-ranking officials, according to interviews with workers and a document reviewed by Mother Jones. + similar in the Department of the Interior

It's that time of year again! I'm going to start compiling a list of Indigenous orgs in the Denver area for my annual SAA "Land Action" linktree. If anyone has any suggestions for orgs you'd like to see supported this year, please let me know! 🏺
