must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Just incredible

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

The very best of America’s shitposters are now outgunned by their Chinese peers. Balance of power has shifted.

As it turns out, fascism, massive economic uncertainty, & dismantling the federal government is not especially popular with investors

I like this Alex Norris comic

I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill. NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want. NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats. We need to push back.

@schumer.senate.gov VOTE NO

Just sent a bunch of faxes to my representatives expressing my grievances using the @resist.bot app. Genuinely made it super easy, even mindless. Do it!!!!

Teefs

A reminder for these times.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Bannon, Musk, and the far-right have found that “defending Israel” is the perfect cover for their antisemitism.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

Maybe this is my sign to move outside of the US for a bit 🤔

Math is hard

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

The lawsuit alleges the migrants have been "disappeared into a black box" and are unable to communicate with attorneys.

These cats are my soulmates

Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

We cannot allow the hateful rhetoric we encounter in our daily lives to go unchecked

This is all a result of a lack of empathy and literacy Our civic duty is to not only actively work on our understanding and ability to be life long learners but also embody those characteristics and foster productive dialogue via daily interactions

47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured. Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.”  No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

THE SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW IS UNION MADE! Shout out to Kendrick Lamar, and all the performers and behind the scenes workers that made this go off without a hitch!

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

Me watching ads: Cancer one—welp they cut cancer trials Breast awareness—and closed women’s health research center Jesus ad—welp they aren’t actually following that version Dunkin—that coffee tastes like burnt pee

Trump was responsible for adding a quarter of that debt in just his first term alone.

Tremendous new addition to the Louvre

if i text you this just know you’re cooked

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA. Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

This is the beginning of a coup. Complaining about one though isn’t the same as implementing one. Trump & Vance are pushing the limits of electoral legitimacy. Not clear how far that will take them, especially when they are making so many enemies in DC. Good TV/bad politics

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

They’re trying to make it legal to unalive people who cross the border… please boost this information! www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2kdSYgK/

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍

Donald won the election, but at what cost?
