The anti-vaxxer strikes again and we are all less safe.

Both Q-Anon and Anti-vax are, at their core, new forms of anti-semitic blood libel.

Elon Musk is leaving the federal government 10x worse than he found it. To absolutely no one's surprise - DOGE is the opposite of government efficiency.

An abortion clinic in Colorado that for more than 50 years served people who looked to terminate their pregnancies in the second or third trimester quietly closed last month.

BREAKING: Judge blocks President Trump’s unconstitutional campaign to radically restructure and dismantle the federal government. This ruling is one of many that prove Elon Musk, DOGE, and even the president himself are not above the rule of law and the will of the American people.

Huge thank you to Judge Susan Illston, who ordered a two-week pause on the DOGE’s mass layoff plans blocking two dozen agencies from carrying out the largest wave of job cuts yet. She ruled the move was illegal without congressional approval.

People using AI to cheat is one thing but what’s even more alarming is people talking about how they talk to ChatGPT all day, how they use it to write text messages to their friends, how it has usurped their own humanity at a time when we need people to resist tech fascism. That’s the real horror

QOTD: It feels so good to not hear your head. It's not me, but, this is totally me

Thank you Mark Cuban! Michael Woodruff

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

UNDERWOOD: Do you believe that the US government has the authority to deport American citizens NOEM: No, and we are not deporting US citizens UNDERWOOD: Several American citizens have been deported

The Met Gala with this year's theme of "Black Dandies" is such a delicious "f--k you" to all of the right wing anti-DEI bigots, I could eat it for dessert. Serve them, kings and queens! And come through @voguemagazine! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW2o... #metgala2025

Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

American Public Actually Kind Of Endearing In Some Ways

100 days of Trump—raising prices, abducting American citizens, starting a trade war....

"'For anybody who's doubting justice, this is a light of hope, a hope and faith in the justice system in America,' he said..." abcnews.go.com/US/lawyers-c...

FDR’s first 100 days strengthened democracy through legislation & public trust. Trump’s first 100 days? A flurry of executive orders, attacks on civil society, & authoritarian style leadership. @jamellebouie.net explains the stark contrast: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/op...

Biden’s age was, by a large margin, the single most covered story in the entire campaign, even counting the part of the campaign in which Biden was no longer a candidate if “we were too biased toward Dems” is your takeaway from our current moment you have no business doing this job

JUST A REMINDER…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

Just sat down on the Capitol Steps with my good friend @booker.senate.gov to have a real conversation about the dangerous situation we confront in America. And what we can all do to stop it. Tune in live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBej...

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN 😂😂😂😂

Think you don't use Medicaid? Think again! The cuts proposed by Congress may directly affect you, because Medicaid is known by different names in every state. BadgerCare? That's Medicaid. SoonerCare? That's Medicaid too. All so that billionaires can get a giant tax break. Pass it on.

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

The good news is that the Trump administration's approach to food safety only matters to Americans who eat food. For everyone else, we're overdue for an important conversation. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
