🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I am not dogging Indivisible as an organization, and that somebody put *something* together is good. But that was a presentation intended for people who are sad, and I don't know anyone who is sad. I know a lot of people who are mad, though, and that wasn't for us.

WIRED is tracking numerous reports of Musk-related shenanigans across the federal govt. We're looking for fed employees open to discussing the activity they're seeing or to help confirm other reports. Anonymity offered. Please use @signal.org (contact dell.3030). Do not use work networks/devices.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

Do you really want a bunch of teenage techbro's deciding whether you live or die? Nobody voted for this.

Many of us are returning to northern Gaza, gasping for life. We have no choice but to stand up and recover. But what does this mean for our martyrs? Will they go back home too? mondoweiss.net/2025/02/now-...

By the way "The Big Short" is mandatory viewing IMO. It's dramatized so if you're looking for a documentary on the 2008 financial crisis you can probably do better but it very much captures the important lessons of how soulless and STUPID big money people are.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Jesuit Priest 👇🏽

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

Everything happening in DC right now is a perfect mirror of how the tech CEOs have behaved for the last 2 decades: ignore the law, maximize your power at every opportunity, disregard any naysayers, assert that everyone wants you to do what you're doing, get the lawyers to clean it up later.

Elon Musk stole your SSN (and everyone else's) over the weekend. Why this isn't the top story on every news network round the clock, I will never understand.

As a very proud former USAID staffer, I reject this filthy, false, insane statement. This person’s powers must be immediately abrogated.

1. Multiple hospital systems are complying with an unlawful executive order with dubious enforcement mechanisms and pulling their trans kids off care. While most have not, those that have are harming their trans patients. The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This is the child Trump to whom has outsourced your personal data, with no legal process.

I just finally got around to reading this article in full. Basically, Walmart costs communities more in lost economic participation/growth, and costs more to families individually in lost wages than can be rationalized by "cost savings." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Fuck yes

In case you’re wondering what’s about to get MORE expensive, helpful FOX scroll. 👀 #TrumpTradeWar

NYT tells its influencer community that tariffs suck. It doesn't explain that Trump's excuse--fentaynyl--is utterly irrelevant wrt Canada.

This. Thank you.

Why are institutional Dems' election criticisms always directed at the smallest, least powerful part of the voter coalition but never at the Party leaders ?

this was successful “resistance” — the thing we’re being repeatedly told is done, over, can’t work, never to return

As I've been saying for years now, economic hardship per se does not create the conditions for extremism and violence. Uncertainty and sudden, sharp changes to the status quo do. This is a guaranteed recipe for violence the likes of which no one currently alive has seen in this country.

A custom BlueSky feed dedicated to coverage of local protests would be a good use of this site.

Nice of Musk to give the world an object lesson of why billionaires shouldn’t exist.

How is this legal? How? Why is every top Democrat not outside the Treasury right now, holding a press conference at least? Or filing a lawsuit?? I am losing my mind.

"During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight bc it was the dance we were fighting for. (1/2)

"First they came for ..." (slaps poem out of your hands) It shouldn't matter who they came for first! They shouldn't be allowed to come for anyone! And they're here now! There are no acceptable losses!

Mainstream media paved the way for Trump’s anti-trans policies Years of questionable coverage manufactured consent for Trump’s executive order targeting gender-affirming care xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

🚨 THREAD: On Sunday, Israel blew up an entire residential block in the occupied West Bank. Israeli forces carried out a devastating attack on the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, leveling at least 20 buildings in mass explosions.

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

I know this is falling on deaf ears bc editors are committed to learning nothing from their mistakes, but I am begging journalists to stop validating this nonsense. The president cannot create a department without an act of Congress. Musk is not a gov employee. This was illegal from the beginning

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
