CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

just a reminder, the fascists don’t actually have the power they are projecting yet. they also do not have the means to control every American if they were to try and enact some form of policestate. They cannot control this country and they cannot kill enough of us to stop them from losing control

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

"Next week, House Republicans will hold a major vote on Trump’s fiscal agenda. The House blueprint, which Trump backs, lays the groundwork for up to $880 billion in Medicaid cuts and tens of billions in cuts to food stamps." Everybody knows someone this will harm.

Your weather app gets its info because of NOAA. Your mail arrives at your home because of USPS. Your plane navigates the skies because of the FAA. Your food is safer -- and we get alerts when it isn't -- because of USDA. You hear about earthquakes *worldwide* because of USGS.

Anyone who's shouting proudly that they're "LGB" now... Who the fuck do you THINK Trump, Musk, and their cronies are gonna attack after they get rid of trans folks in their little purge fantasy? We have seen this before. It WILL happen again unless we stop it.

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

I'm already starting to hear stories of people leaving the country quietly. They're not announcing it or telling many others. This is going to become increasingly common.

Us citizens can enter Thailand and stay for up to 60 days as long as you have some form of travel out of the country booked to show you plan to leave. A bus ticket from Bangkok to Vientiane (the capital of Laos), costs about $50, and the entry fee for Laos is $20. You can also choose to extend

Wow. Trump has fired the federal Veterans Affairs staff running the Veterans Crisis Hotline. This will have a major impact here in North Carolina.

We won’t disappear just because you change a website.

Jose Barco, a decorated U.S. Army veteran once based out of Fort Carson who served 2 tours in Iraq, was taken into custody last month by ICE because his citizenship papers, which were supposed to be processed while he was in the Army, were lost. Read his story:

There's a protest at Stonewall. (This didn't go well for the haters last time around.)

At #stonewall

This is so antithetical to the English legal tradition that they killed Charles I about it, and then they couped James II

Atlanta police have set up secret surveillance cameras outside of Stop Cop City activists' houses and gathering spots––and they refuse to answer any questions about the cameras www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

The Trumpocracy is at it again. Removing Transgender and queer identities from the most transgender and queer things in this nation. #RiseUp we can’t let him win his war

Trump's incompetence is going to trash Yosemite National Park www.sfgate.com/california-p...

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+". The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history. This pride, we riot.

Trump is Appeaser-in-Chief & is rapidly sliding the US into a new axis of evil, alongside Putin and Xi. The US is shredding 80 years of security alliances. Meanwhile, at home, a billionaire is dismantling the state to enrich himself. So, here’s my question: where the f**k are the Democrats?

Elon Musk is celebrating the immiseration and death of the most vulnerable members of society. This is what your Tesla symbolically represents, and materially supports... not just from the upfront price, but through charging, repairs, etc. What price are you willing to pay to not be complicit?

And my list of great free PC games is FINALLY up to 200! Plus nearly a hundred more on the 'to research/detail' pages. May you find something special to you. If you've got a PC of any spec, you have no excuse being bored. In this thread I'll also showcase a few personal favourites from the list.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

"A week before the union vote, an Amazon manager claimed the union had told workers they could be deported if they vote no—a claim Medelius-Marsano characterized as 'absolutely disgusting' and 'a complete falsity.'" Critical reporting from @nataschaelena.bsky.social

I hate being right.

My kids: Could we be President even though we were born in another country? Me: . . . Kind of?

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

In my self-defense classes I focus on how most people are socially conditioned to follow the norms of a civilized, polite society — and there is a MENTAL SHIFT required to use violence to defend from violence. I'm reminded of this while watching our elected officials dithering and delaying. 1/

Department of Transportation orders all personnel to "identify and eliminate" every order, directive, rule, regulation, policy, notice, guidance document, funding arrangement, or program that even mentions climate change, diversity, or environmental justice www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.go...

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

This is a hair-on-fire situation (gift link) Musk allies (not official government employees, apparently) seek access to "the sensitive systems control the flow of more than $6 trillion annually to households, businesses and more nationwide." wapo.st/4jH7XYa

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Breaking: More problems for Western North Carolina. Wildfire in McDowell County near Old Fort. Emergency Mgmt says evacuation is recommended for residents in the 1000 block of Lavender Rd and all of Cozy Cove Dr. An emergency shelter is located at First Baptist Church in Old Fort.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Notable: Former top DHS official Deborah Fleischaker tells me on the pod that current ICE officials fear Trump's demand for higher arrests will redirect operations away from serious criminals to make Trump happy. She explains this well. See this exchange: newrepublic.com/article/1907...

This is what happens to trans women placed in men's prisons. They are subjected to daily horrific rapes and used as human chattel to pacify aggressive and violent inmates. It's called v coding.

SCAM ALERT: You might have heard that the IRS will make automatic $1,400 payments to about 1 million people who did not receive their COVID stimulus payments. Today I got this scam text trying to lure victims based on the premise they have to apply for the IRS payments. You don’t.

NIH funding brings $3.8 BILLION to North Carolina. Losing this funding would not only hamper what we learn from NIH research that directly improves the health and well-being of people living in the US and elsewhere but would have a huge impact on the NC economy.

The number of people expecting me to deviate from my consistent and fundamental principles that no government anywhere should have the ability to control who can and can't speak OR listen to speech, as long as they have an argument THIS speaker is really REALLY bad, is absolutely fascinating.

Maybe people wouldn't be flocking to RedNote if you hadn't worked so hard to ban TikTok. Keep fiddling, Senator. youtu.be/6dcfVnz9Mg8?...

Hi Bluesky, there has been a lot happening over on TikTok and I want to talk to you about it. As you've probably heard, the TikTok ban is effective this Sunday, January 19th. I've been working to find a solution:
