Meanwhile in FASCIST #IDAHO clandestine men in black physically assault a woman for using her voice. I hope she’s okay, and I applaud her good trouble! #SHERO #ProudBlue bsky.app/profile/neil...

Der Spiegel is HUGE PUBLICATION NOT ONLY GERMANY BUT EUROPE "VERRATEN" German for BETRAYRD

ICYMI: There's a measles outbreak happening right now in west Texas. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world. President Trump's plans to cut thousands of jobs from the CDC—coupled with Secretary Kennedy's anti-vaccine agenda—is disastrous for us all.

@chriswarcraft.bsky.social says, "Just got out of jail. Only forty four left to go to catch John Lewis’s record. Remember - peaceful civil disobedience. Don’t comply in advance." Chris, thank you for using your privilege in such a powerful way. We'd love to connect. ✊

If Trump and the GOP extend their 2017 tax cuts, the top 1% will make out like bandits — taking home an extra $165 per day. But the bottom 60% will get shafted — getting only an extra $1.10 per day in exchange for massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It's reverse Robin Hood.

Spot on.

The primary US election security agency has put a stop to all support for states in safeguarding elections. This action is a glaring example of how the country’s cyber defense agency is capitulating to tRump’s unfounded claims of election fraud and censorship. www.wired.com/story/cisa-e...

Here is @lavernecox.bsky.social reminding everyone that trans people make up less than 1% of the population, and that folks are definitely ‘focused on the wrong 1%’. 🔥👏☕️

This will always be a safe space. You are seen and you are heard.

I’m becoming a HUGE fan of @maxwellfrost.bsky.social . He’s been standing up and speaking truth to power at a time when it’s desperately needed. 🔥🔥🔥

Fuck the Nazis, Eat The Rich🤮🖕

BREAKING 🔥🔥🔥 This is fantastic, but I’d wager they already copied the information they needed… ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Federal judge temporarily blocks DOGE from accessing sensitive Treasury Department payment systems www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

The White House ordered the CIA to send an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force, in a move that former officials say risked the list leaking to adversaries.

The only immigrant trying to destroy the country.

#HandsOffOurMedicaid

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Democracy & the rule of law

Over the weekend, someone asked why I stay engaged in politics despite the induced rage. Simple— I like food without salmonella/listeria. I like clean air and waterways. I like ppl not having polio. I like when ppl can love/marry whoever. I like when women have control over their own bodies.

Russia is thrilled with Musk and DOGE’s illegal activities.

NEW: USAID source says staff are scrambling to save archived copies of US regulations before they're gone & are being actively locked out of systems, including a publicly available database of USAID documents. WIRED has built software to systematically check the status of 1,374 government domains.

Elon Musk has forced his way into the system that pays your Social Security checks and tax refunds. He likely now has access to your Social Security number.

Fuck all fascists.

Heads up.

I need to be sure everybody caught this... “No more funding for illegal DEI programs… no more funding for the green new scam… no more funding for transgenderism and wokeness across our federal bureaucracy and agencies.” Trump froze federal grants & loans just to target BIPOC & marginalized groups.

The last few days have been rough. My daughter's cancer trial was suspended, my grandson who is gay told me how afraid he is and our Grant funding was frozen. Elections have consequences.

Dems can: -oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn -deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings -vote no on all cloture -force quorum calls at every chance It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

Don't worry. Nothing to see here at all. If you are a white, straight, Christian male, you will be fine. apnews.com/article/trum...

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

ICYMI — Sharpton led a buy-in to support Costco after they didn’t back down on DEI

As Americans we should be able to make our own decisions about who we are and how we identify. But Trump has taken actions that attacks trans rights, risking young people’s lives. We must protect these young people. Here are resources to help trans kids and ways you can support them.

We are Christians who believe a faith without mercy and empathy is fraudulent, heretical, and devoid of Jesus. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/a-statemen...

Everyone was warned about this, and it’s happening just as we feared.

Woo- amazing how such a small percentage of gentle people can be so ruthlessly attacked. Appalling.

Atul Gawande, recent head of USAID's health programs, lays out examples of the impacts Trump's 90-day stop work order will have on US & the world. It could be catastrophic for public health threadreaderapp.com/thread/18832...

Remember when you thought SCOTUS wouldn't overturn Roe v Wade? Well, now Idaho is asking SCOTUS to overturn Obergefell, the case that makes same-sex marriage legal www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/u...

Holy f*ck! Just days after his Nazi salute seen around the world, Elon Musk is speaking at an AfD rally about “German pride”, warning against “multicultural delusion”, and telling them not to feel guilty about the “sins of their great grandparents”.

Listening to the mother of former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone describing on @joy.msnbc.com how she has been harassed and menaced is making my chest so tight. If your police union hasn’t condemned this conduct if, as a Member of Congress, you’ve condoned these pardons, you are a disgrace.

@daveminca.bsky.social this is very disappointing! Deportation even just for an accusation!

Absolutely stunning. This is MAGA: a celebration of violence.
