Think about it. Take all the time you need.

Lin Manuel Miranda & the company of Hamilton have cancelled a run at the Kennedy Center after Trump seized control of DC's premier cultural center and made himself chairman of the board www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/t...

MUST WATCH! Share widely! Great info on how to resist from Timothy Snyder, Yale Prof. and author of On Tyranny m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQqL...

You can tell antivaxxers don’t actually care about children because a child died and these sickos are using it as an excuse to share juice recipes and promote their supplements. There’s more aluminum in a cup of carrot juice than in the two-dose MMR series. And carrot juice doesn’t prevent measles.

The heartbreak. Trump claims USAID is bankrupting America—it’s less than 1% of the budget. Meanwhile, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is gutting the largest food aid provider. He could end world hunger & still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Not just greed. We’re watching evil at work.

🚨 The House will vote on their extreme Trump-endorsed budget on Tues. We can block this! A budget that mandates $2 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and other vital programs to pay for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich is NOT POPULAR. 🔥📞🔥 Demand your rep votes NO 👉 5calls.org/issue/budget...

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

An 11-year-old girl took her own life in Texas after she was tormented for weeks by her sixth-grade classmates at Gainesville Intermediate School, who threatened to call ICE authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said. 💔 💔

"The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers. "This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments" - Dr. Lucky Tran

So much for his Hippocratic oath.

Well said!

Senator Bennet was on fire at this morning's hearing. "What's disturbing to me is that out of 330 million Americans, we're being asked to put somebody in this job who has spent 50 years of his life peddling in half-truths, peddling in false statements."

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

Well, here's a WTF. Dems are worried that Sheldon Whitehouse might vote to confirm RFK jr and that that may warn off GOPs Sens considering voting against him. (Whitehouse and Kennedy are lifelong friends, law school roomies, etc.) talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dems-...

Good thing we pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement. Florida needed the snow this time of year 🤣☃️🤣

I am withdrawing my support from all of these companies.

From midnight tonight until next Saturday morning, there's no TV, no Internet, no Social Media, no nothing for me. Symbolic protest is better than none at all. #5DayBLACKOUT

Now that’s some bullshit👇🏻 #SheShed

Mark Cuban posted a TikTok video that he wants to support or invest in somebody who creates a TikTok replacement built on the bluesky AT protocol.
