"Giving this guy $55 billion so he can have even more power to set himself up as dictator borders on treason." prospect.org/justice/2025...

One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world just lost $1.4 billion (with a B) to a hack. This is 5x as much as the previous largest exchange hack in history.

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob."  —FDR, 1936

In Ferguson, they swept phone data from the crowd, then later drove down streets and if there were 2 or more of those people in a house, they raided it.

Literally begging researchers to prebunk misinformation in their papers. That Iwasaki paper is being amplified and spread by the worst of the worst. No matter who you are and what you do, the fascists will try to come at you. Don't let them twist whatever valid science is in your papers.

Steve Bannon gives a Nazi salute at CPAC. This is the MAGA movement and today's Republican Party. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L3x...

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

#Voices4Victory #ProudBlue Attention Pennsylvania‼️ We have a very important Local Election happening on May 20th. Our Supreme Court seat is on the ballot. We cannot allow MAGA to run our state. Make a plan to vote. Last day to register is May 5 Visit 👉 vote.pa.gov/register

Control of Pennsylvania Supreme Court at Stake in 2025 Election | The Democratic-majority court has played a big role in defusing election challenges. Now Republicans are mobilizing for a takeover, reports @votebeat.org.

Those are Nazi salutes. They're Nazis.

One day we will wake up to his obituary.

No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

This is a solidly red district in Georgia. Republicans are really starting to feel the pressure — let’s keep turning up the heat. Your representatives are back home for congressional recess and we’ve got events planned around the country (including Tesla dealerships). LFG: indivisible.org/muskorus

WIRED health & biotech writer here. If you're a USDA employee working on the government's response to the H5N1 bird flu outbreak and would like to speak securely about what's happening at the agency, please reach out to me on Signal at emullin.06. I can honor requests for anonymity.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Bucks County Labor Leaders Praise Renewed AFL-CIO and SEIU Alliance as Essential | The solution to Trump and Musk's trickle down chaos is organizing and solidarity.

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

It's no coincidence that Musk's companies are soaring in value as the regulatory agencies that were investigating or suing them are being gutted. The DOGE agenda isn't about "efficiency" — it's about Musk freeing himself from any accountability so he can line his pockets.

NEW: Trump NIH pick Jay Bhattacharya’s financial disclosures are out. Last year he was awarded the $250K Bradley Prize from the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, a major funder of right-wing causes. He did not include the money, which he previously claimed to have given to charity, on the form.

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

“This is truly a national tragedy and one that is being executed by people who do not understand the value of scientific research.” 🧪 from @science.org

And here we have the least surprising thing i’ve ever seen.

Nationwide database tracking misconduct by fed police officers shut down by Trump, DOJ confirmed deleting a resource that experts said improved public safety by helping to prevent bad officers from jumping to new agencies & starting over w/clean records. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

The job market has never been better for shills, stooges, and toadies of all stripes. Linkedin absolutely buzzing if you're a sycophant, a flunky, or even an unctuous little worm

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME Congress didn’t pass a law requiring NIH-funded trials to include women until 1993. Drug trials with government funding only started including women in the NINETIES And that’s only drug trials! And not ones with private funding! Health research FAMOUSLY excludes women.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

From an IRS employee in Texas, one of thousands still awaiting news on whether they still have jobs: "It's a mess. Lot of tears. Managers also just received an email that there was some glitch and not everyone received their letters."

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

This is who Republicans just made FBI Director. Kash Patel calls for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”

I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age and same height, but she can sing better. We also share the same values, including that every child should have the chance to dream big and succeed. Indiana Republicans should reverse these cuts. www.huffpost.com/entry/indian...
