If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

Demanding that people get punished for their words of protest while staying silent about or even supporting the actual atrocities and, yes, genocide occurring is one of the most disgusting political features of this goddamned era.

I wonder who will be prioritized for denaturalization? Such a mystery. /s

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

According to Google's AI, 19% of American adults are dead. 🤦‍♀️

READ THIS. Republican policies are deadly. They are going to destroy this country if they are not stopped.

Weird how much they want women to be forced to have kids but don't want to do anything to help keep the kids alive and healthy.

I propose that instead of calling it CECOT, we should refer to it as the John G. Roberts, Jr. Concentration Camp & Torture Center.

STOP THE ACTUAL STEAL.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

There are reports that the entire team responsible for monitoring injury and death statistics was fired from the CDC yesterday. For those of us in gun violence prevention research, this is devastating. There are no comparable mechanisms in place to track deaths. www.bradyunited.org/press/doge-c...

Just donated $20 to Cory Booker! Happy to keep donating to any Senator who shows that much bravery and stamina to fight this authoritarian takeover. However, I'm never giving another goddamned cent to my Sens @schumer.senate.gov or @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social . Shame on them.

TeenVogue FTW! "If [they think] there's rampant anti-Semitism ...and they offered no evidence...then there's a process, and that process is not to go after pediatric cancer research to get them to toe some line around making campus safer for Jewish students." www.teenvogue.com/story/aaup-t...

WISCONSIN: YOU CAN DO THIS.

So glad those DOGE cuts are making the government work for us! I wonder if there's a snowstorm heading my way. Or a tornado. I guess I'll find out when it hits!

A great quote from a Harvard Crimson op ed: "If Columbia or another university confronts the administration on its own, it will lose. If America’s nearly 6,000 universities and colleges launch a campaign in defense of higher education, odds are that Trump will lose." We must fight NOW.

Reminder: They're against DEIA. That A stands for Accessiblity. Al

The work to track these abducted Ukrainian children was canceled along with the vast majority of foreign aid contracts. We're also asking WHY???

Reminder to call these folks up - especially if you're a constituent - and share your feelings. I just called Schumer and Gillibrand to say I will support all efforts to remove them from their current positions. I also told them I have a long memory.

I wonder how many percentage points he'd lose if the feckless, corporatist U.S. press CLEARLY informed the public he's destroying all corporate oversight, public safety standards, consumer protection, labor rights, environmental law, voting rights, and the social safety net

Why I wrote my new Lucid essay on moral collapse: open.substack.com/pub/lucid/p/...

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

Imagine you're a Republican. You control the House, Senate & White House. You spent 9 weeks sucking up to Elon Musk and gutting vital programs. Your "mandate," you said. You draft a budget alone, without Democrats. Everyone hates it. Your own party can't pass it. And now it's Democrats' fault? 🤡

There's so much going on that it's hard to keep up, but apparently it's now perfectly legal to interrupt the operations of abortion clinics, possibly even including threats of violence. www.npr.org/2025/03/09/g...

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

Even if the 50% RIF at the Dept of Ed is the end of the attack (which is unlikely), there is zero chance that the loans, grants, and other support it provides to college students will not be interrupted in this academic year and next. Please share any word from universities about what this means.

Politico: "Trump and White House officials have been telling GOP holdouts who want more spending cuts that the administration will pursue impoundment...according to two Republicans who were in a recent meeting with the president." www.politico.com/newsletters/...

the MAGA cult is going to redirect taxpayer money away from small local providers and popular community owned broadband networks and funnel it over to Elon musk's congestion plagued, expensive, ozone layer killing satellite service they declare mission accomplished on broadband

I know we're living in dark times right now. In order to keep getting up in the morning, it is imperative to take a few moments to savor life's little gifts, like the opportunity to laugh at snowflake cybertruck owners who have hurt fee fees.

This is not an exaggeration. This is exactly what is happening.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵
