This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

Fitting for today’s cat fight.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

Texas hospital repeatedly sent a woman who was bleeding and in pain home without ending her life-threatening ectopic pregnancy. She ultimately lost part of her reproductive system. A fed investigation last year found hospital had violated the law. But not so under new Trump admin guidance

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

Reminder anytime Republicans say they don’t care if you are gay or not, remember they are lying. Always lying. abcnews.go.com/Politics/heg...

Here’s what will happen to our National Parks if Trump’s budget passes. Did you know America’s national parks actually generate more income than they cost to operate? Yet under Trump’s proposed 2026 budget, the National Park Service (NPS) would face devastating cuts:

People so often overlook the importance of good penmanship.

Stunning details now emerging: this was an operation planned a year and a half in advance, involved smuggling drones into Russia, placing them in containers on top of trucks, arranging for them all to open simultaneously and to strike.

Republicans are vile monsters.

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

its crazy how dominant germany was in science (especially chemistry) in the 19th century, it was basically the international language for scientists, people came from all over the world to train at heidelberg etc, and then....

They were always going to go after the easy targets. These lazy fucks don’t want to chase actual criminals.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

The government will decide what work you can do in the name of freedom

The irony is palatable.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

Offered a dozen chances to say that it’s illegal for the president to “conduct or terminate an audit on a taxpayer” (the exact wording in the statute), Trump’s nominee for IRS declines to do so. youtu.be/4Dtuf3AdMfg?...

Big show in Albuquerque tonight! Tickets on my website, as always.

Fighting antisemitism by increasing it, because this was never about antisemitism

LOL, 100% true.
