***None*** of the concepts / phrases Anna Paulina Luna highlights below are stated in the Republican bill. Search for yourself. Here is the text: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Over the weekend, The Trump administration was busy axing hundreds of employees at the CDC, including fellows responsible for critical public health roles. Among those fired were approximately two dozen workers who made up the Laboratory Leadership Service, or LLS, an elite group in an…

The aurora right above me

It’s FUKKKING tiring already!

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

A team of engineers who work for Musk’s SpaceX will visit the Federal Aviation Administration’s air traffic control system command center in Virginia as the Trump administration considers an overhaul of the agency, which was previously seen as exempt from government cuts.

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

Gil Cisneros, who was the Biden administration’s undersecretary of defense in charge of military readiness, says he’s aware of no finding that trans service members had a negative impact on cohesion/readiness/deployability/lethality. Big hearing on Tuesday w Judge Reyes.

Trump posted 14 times about his Daytona 500 trip—but not once about the deadly flooding in multiple states.

Trump Administration Pressuring Romania Over Andrew Tate NO FELON LEFT BEHIND

NEW: Trump’s FEMA administrator just sent out an email ordering all employees to stop sending things to the media without prior authorization. It was immediately sent to me by a FEMA employee without prior authorization to share with you.

Just as relevant today… “The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” - Malcom X (1963)

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Everything on this list is illegal for an illegitimate fake executive branch group to do without Congressional approval.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

Nearly $7 million has been “apportioned” over the past week to cover DOGE-related expenses.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

MIKE LUCKOVICH APPRECIATION POST @mluckovich.bsky.social is one of the greatest political cartoonists of all time. Thank you for 3 decades of scathing satire, remarkable insight and helping us all laugh to avoid weeping openly. 🙏 Your longtime fan, Mar🐫

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

Major BoneSpurs fired a FOUR STAR Admiral from the Coast Gaurd 3 days into his "presidency". Why? He says she was a DEI hire. He gave Admiral Linda Fagan 3 hrs to move out of her home. Never mind she served this country with honor & rose thru the ranks. No, he doesn't want women in charge. Fuck him.

Trump and Rubio are very excited to share that our military will not be required to pay tolls or fees in order to cross through the Panama Canal. The fact that this happened with the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977 and signed by Jimmy Carter is completely insignificant.

ABC News reported Marco Rubio has been acting as head of the National Archives for weeks. This is news to everyone at the National Archives, including, apparently, the current head of NARA: www.404media.co/national-arc...

Rhetorical Q: If the right invented DOGE out of nothing, bypassed Congress & is acting like it’s a legit dept with authority to do shit, can’t Dems create a dept of their own, bypass GOP lawmakers & start doing shit to stop the shit? DOGE would have them in court in 6 seconds, which is the point.

words fail

Who's gonna hire all the 80 year olds and people with disabilities, and let them go their own pace after they lose their social security? Oh ya, they're trying to do away with the disability act and reasonable accommodations, so no one?

i'll be blunt, if you are someone who is vocal about the ways that diversity efforts "divide the working class" but silent about the ways that *actual racism and discrimination* divide the working class, then i think you're just an opportunist

These accidents keep happening.

‪ ‪@presentdarkness.bsky.social This is 💯 spot on. Congress, you created this monster! The American people will never forget your derelict actions when it mattered the most! If you don't heed the voices of the people, the people will remove you from your cushy seats! #Bluecrew #Resistance

FYI:

It’s not just that the buy-out won’t be honored; it can’t be honored. They have neither authority nor appropriations to honor the promise. “Fraud in the inducement.”

Please be kind to your animal accounts. Yes we’re watching. Yes we’re reading. And yes, we are screaming & crying. It’s taking everything we have to create posts that stay positive. To try to still be a light in the darkness. … what do you think of a beardless Owen Wilson?
