On top of all the firings, resignations & budget-cuts across the FBI & CIA, "... 25 to 45 per cent of FBI agents working counter-terrorism, cyber, espionage and child exploitation cases had been reassigned to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown." 👀 #WTAF www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

The pedo-cannibals in charge want to cut down the last of Oregon's old-growth forest. There is no reason to do this other than to desecrate Creation. This cannot happen. Link to xomment on BLM's plans in the reply. PLEASE take 30 seconds to help defend. Please share this 🙏

Once again.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other. Shared by @gizmodo.com: buff.ly/yAAHtHq

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works. I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

There's no pot of money to pay your pension. It is paid by the contributions of those in work at the time. The proportion of pensioners to workers is increasing so we need 250000 immigrants per year paying taxes and nat insurance to fund pensions.

Boy this is traveling quickly around the country. Counties are beginning manual recounts of ballots. Hopefully entire states will consider doing the same as more suspicions rise. This illustrates the need for printed, stored ballots in every election district throughout the country.

Note this article was published earlier today, well before Israel’s strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Also note that uranium for civilian uses is only enriched to between 3% & 5%. Iran has been producing & accumulating uranium enriched to 60%, near weapons grade. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Trump promised to bring down the cost of housing. But his "big beautiful bill" slashes billions in rental assistance, extends tax breaks for predatory landlords, and restricts state governments from cracking down on AI-powered rent-gouging. Another Trump lie.

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion. Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates. What’s “moderate” about that?

Emphasis on #UNSUCCESSFUL

Majority Leader Thune, would you care to comment?

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale

🚨Report your NSF grant terminations! 🚨 We are starting to collect information on NSF grant terminations to create a shared resource as we have for NIH. The more information we collect, the more we can organize, advocate, and fight back! Please share widely! airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni...

“The steep cuts to the program's inspectors baffled CDC officials since the small team's staff is not paid for by taxpayer dollars.” Ya just can’t make this shit up. Which one of the DOGE brainiacs wants to take credit for it?

This was three months ago.

Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 We need more of this please!

All Members of Congress must immediately disclose all trades in the market over the last week. Stocks, bonds, ETFs. All of it. The Trump-caused market chaos is ripe for abuse. Who knew Trump would cave on tariffs and when? The public deserves answers. I oppose trading by Members. Ban it now.

#NationalLibraryWeek #LiteracyMatters

The only people who are touting the tariffs are people who are paid to say so

The conflation of "manufacturing jobs" w/ "good jobs" will be news to many recently hired (non-union, large #s working for staffing firms) manufacturing workers. See Myth #5: www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/five...

Profiles in cowardice

He is! Thanks to all the craven @GOP toadies, DOGE minion butt-sniffers & greedy billionaire bastards surrounding him, he’s much better prepared to do all the shit now that he was prevented from doing the first time!

And it’s *Democrats* who are supposedly “out of touch?”🙄

“MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE … ONLY THE WEAK WILL FAIL.” Which is to say, if you weren’t already a billionaire, you’re obviously weak, and a failure. The billionaire buyout is underway, and they’re stealing your future. WAKE UP AMERICA. THIS IS NOT MAKING US GREAT. #DoSomething

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Once again, crypto follows the broader market and is tanking. The lie of crypto is that it's a hedge against the market/dollar. The truth is it's a speculative asset with no use case beyond crime. It's all a con. Anyone who shills crypto should be understood as a con artist.

Most of us take this country for granted. Access to education & opportunities improve ones circumstances are key to a stable, upwardly mobile society. One only needs to spend a short time in places ridden w/ economic inequality & lack of educational opportunities to appreciate how fortunate we are.

WOW. Dismantling the Department of Education will have GENERATIONAL impacts on our kids and workforce. Repost if you stand with TEACHERS and STUDENTS! #HandsOffEducation

And cruel!

Wake up!

Really feeling this today.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

Who did this?

Meanwhile, South Korea has successfully impeached their president www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

S. Korean President removed from office: “The court said Yoon undermined the authority of the Nat’l Assembly & other democratic institutions, & had “gravely violated” his duties to the people & as commander in chief when he mobilized troops to try to seize political control of the legislature.”🫡

Can’t believe Trump would *actually* do all these things (ignore laws, the Constitution, destroy the govt w/ so many layoffs, sell off govt parks & buildings, tariff everyone to hell (except Russia), blow up the markets (he & billionaire cronies own crypto!)?Here’s why. youtu.be/5RpPTRcz1no?...

Except, this is so much more than "we put him there." It's decades of politics polluted by corporate money. It's gerrymandering, voter suppression, failures of American education, disinformation campaigns by mass media systems. It's demonstrable election interference, systemic racism and sexism.
