“‘What if I go home today and my parents are already gone?’” the science teacher said. “‘I don’t want to come to school because I don’t want them to be taken while I’m not home.’” 💔💔💔

Trump & Co verraten die Ukraine, zerschlagen das transatlantische BĂźndnis mit Ansage und liefern Europa an Russland aus. Mein neuer Text fĂźr @volksverpetzer.de: www.volksverpetzer.de/analyse/boes...

Truly disgusting - not to mention scary.

“This is exactly what we predicted would happen and exactly what we were afraid would happen” www.propublica.org/article/texa...

This has no purpose other than to break our national capacity for public health & outbreak response by the most cruel, insulting, & inhumane means available. To all my colleagues: I don't believe these claims. Thank you for your public service. To DOGE: Fuck you for your public disservice.

70 year old Senator Tommy Tuberville can’t think of the word “triangle”

Succinct and factually accurate. “Senate Republicans have confirmed Kash Patel — a MAGA conspiracy theorist sympathetic to QAnon who has signaled a thirst for retribution against Donald Trump’s political enemies — as the new FBI Director.”

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

“The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”

For all of our children, may peace hold. For the memory of K’fir and Ariel, and for the memory of Gazan children just their age whose names and faces we don’t know but whose lives and deaths matter just as much. For Israelis and Palestinians made orphans by this war. (1/2)

I appreciate Gov. Pritzker pointing this all out.

The people running the federal government hate New York City and want to punish people who live here for (by and large) having views and living lives that they dislike. Any gussied-up justification is working backwards from that desired result

President Trump is firing American workers who monitor bird flu outbreaks, safeguard nuclear facilities, and now those who promote American history in Dorchester – all to help pay for tax breaks for billionaires and giant corporations.

I mean, if more people die of infectious diseases and poisoning from unregulated supplements then there will in fact be fewer people with chronic diseases 🤷🏻‍♂️

New: Last night, hundreds of CDC post-doc fellows were fired, including all in the group who call themselves the "disease detectors," and are the future of public health lab leaders. One senior official told me, "It is going to cripple public health for decades." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Omg. We managed to turn Québécois into Canadian patriots. 🇨🇦

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

💯 agree. The only other contender would be Andrew Jackson’s (possibly not real) “[Chief Justice John] Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.”

Frankreichs Präsident Emmanuel Macron hat die EU-Staatschefs zu einem spontanen Treffen in Paris eingeladen, um in Sachen Ukraine zu beraten. Bei dem Treffen am Montag geht es vor allem um zwei zentrale Themen.

This is ballgame on the First Amendment unless there is immediate action by news media, Congress, the courts & the public to condemn & prohibt this www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/m...

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

You guys have fucked up so bad you made Quebec patriotic

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

"Look, buddy, you’re in no condition to be getting behind a desk at the Defense Department right now." theonion.com/concern...

People who refuse to sanitize what’s going on, who’s in charge on the Right, how extreme their goals are, tend to be discarded as “alarmists” or “hysterics.” Those who sanitize it all are upheld as “reasonable” voices. As a result, the broader public perception constantly underestimates the threat.

If only there were a legislative body that could have prevented this guy getting confirmed.

RFK Jr said he wants to send folks who are taking antidepressants and ADHD medications to "wellness farms" in rural America where they will be forced to labor by growing organic food to "cure their addictions." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The road to authoritarianism is lined with people who tell you to stop overreacting.

Paris nomme une avenue Alexeï-Navalny à proximité de l’ambassade de Russie

What are we even doing here?

Trump’s MAHA Commission announcement mentioned ADHD medications as a burden for US kids and a “dire threat.” Not mentioned: FIREARMS, the leading killer of US children over age 1. Shocker.

NNSA is the National Nuclear Security Administration. They are in charge of the bombs.

So, they are - illegally dismantling US govt itself, disabling Congress - burning our alliances, turning US into a global pariah - putting backdoors into the Treasury - reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit - setting up camps If Russia were "attacking the US" how would it look any different?

Absolutely disgusting. And juvenile too. Everything he says reminds me of the Ayn Rand stan incels in my college dorm.

Middle schoolers showing more guts and morality than Republicans in Congress.

Vor dem Nato-Treffen nimmt US-Verteidigungsminister Hegseth Europa in die Pflicht. Olaf Scholz warnt derweil vor einem ÂťDiktatfriedenÂŤ und Boris Pistorius die EU vor einem Platz Âťam KatzentischÂŤ.

No way! That would be unethical, corrupt, and illegal! 😱😂

I feel like I owe every resistance wine mom an apology given that “rounding up migrants to send them to Gitmo” was a thing they’d been warning about since 2016,

Hm. Wonder why they don’t want us to vote.

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

Her story has shaken up metro Detroit. It's very cold up here and she didn't get the help she needed even after calling the city and multiple agencies. She, her mom, and her kids slept in a van. Ran out of gas. Her 9 year old & 2 year old died from hypothermia. I can't stop thinking about her. 💔

From @theathletic.bsky.social: The Department of Education has rescinded Title IX guidance that stated NIL payments must be proportionate between a university’s male and female athletes. nyti.ms/40Z3Z4i
