This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

JUST IN: The U.S. Senate has voted 52–48 to overturn Trump’s 50% tariffs on Brazil. Five Republicans joined Democrats: Susan Collins (ME), Mitch McConnell (KY), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Rand Paul (KY), and Thom Tillis (NC). The measure is DOA in the House.

Comeback master here!

Congrats #MaríaCorinaMachado #Venezuela #nobelpeaceprize (One man-baby is going to be so "not happy," and that add that extra bit of joy to this news 🙂 )

Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire deal that's intended to end to the devastating Gaza war which unleashed the deadliest fighting ever between Israelis and Palestinians.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

I’m 100% sure that’s actually not the question to be asking

#bernie and #AOC today

Bye bye, First Amendment. Hello, fascism.

NEWS: A person is in custody after allegedly firing a gunshot at the home of Democratic state Sen. Meg Loughran Cappel, a state lawmaker in Illinois. There are no reported injuries.

jeez! So much for #freespeech

No notes

New PEN America statement: “The firing and suspension of multiple journalists after the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk should alarm anyone who cares about free speech and a free press. Taken together, these measures risk creating a chilling effect that extends beyond those directly targeted..."

"GlobalX carried out more than 1,700 flights for Ice, the vast majority of them between domestic US airports. The airline transported nearly 1,000 children, including nearly 500 children under the age of 10, and 22 infants."

"I did it, I threw the sandwich." Waiting for the #sandwich #resistance memes to follow. #DC #Feds

Is anyone else in emergency management going to hold Florida Emergency Management accountable for this? Probably not. Insane. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/a...

It's definitely not shaping up to be a happy #July4th 😔. So hard to be American right now.

Yes!!!! #Mamdani wins!

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

You have to respect the sheer economics professor of this

@fisherdanar.bsky.social Are we there yet? (I mean, the "it's going to get much worse" part?)

So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.

I tried to post @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social's spot on article on the Nature of Violence on FB twice, and it was taken down twice for not meeting "community standards."

HAPPENING NOW: A rally of protesters in Boston, MA in solidarity with LA and SIEU California President David Huerta, who was arrested over the weekend in LA. We, the people, are standing up in a nonviolent manner, but the government continues & create chaos so they can execute their agenda.

Have y’all seen the story about ICE and the orange demon kidnapping the 9 year old little boy from CA and shipping him to Texas? Tell all your friends about it. ktla.com/news/local-n...

CNN’s reporter on scene in Los Angeles: I’m being detained..

Los Angeles is a BIG place. For the idiots who think the whole city is on fire (it is not), please see this handy map from Craig Miller. Look for the red highlighted circle. Any Angeleno not *there* is perfectly safe. This escalation by Trump is for his own political purposes. PERIOD.

I designed this poster in January and now it’s true!

Anti-ICE protest happening now in San Francisco. “No ICE, no KKK, no fascist USA.”

BREAKING: LA solidarity protesters in Austin are occupying JJ Pickle Federal Building, which houses local ICE processing center

MAGATs: But did it own the libs? Are they pissed? Then it was worth it!

oh no!

MADISON, Wis. – Yesterday, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and other publications reported that Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan apparently attempted to protect a defendant from ICE agents trying to detain that defendant. (1/6)

Our cover this week.

Chilling. Where do we go from here?

Ha! The rich are hoarding already. Kinda funny. "Apple’s main Indian suppliers Foxconn and Tata shipped nearly $2bn worth of iPhones to the United States in March, an all-time high, as the US company airlifted devices to bypass Donald Trump’s impending tariffs."

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Find it esp distasteful that @nytimes.com continues to offer top-of-the-page fluff pieces while the #trump admin demolishes democracy at breakneck speed. Who are these articles for? The elite who will remain safe and eat cake while the country burns? The cognitive dissonance here is mind-boggling.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It's genuinely hard to express to sort of normal not politically plugged in non-lawyers *how* lawless the Trump administration is, and I think that's some part of the problem. You sound like you're hyperventilating, but it's just a flat description of what is going on.

See how this works? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A deafening amount of noise needs to be made about this. DEAFENING.

Yup!
