@sculdiva.bsky.social If you want to STOP TRUMP, you have to help Kentucky Senate Candidate and Marine Corps War Veteran, AMY MCGRATH win Mitch McConnell's Senate seat, NOW. NO JOKE. She is within 100 hours of the Democratic primary. amymcgrath.com @amymcgrath.bsky.social #NOKINGS

Scoop: There has been a massive shakeup at the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Eight of the top ten officials have now been pushed out since President Donald Trump took office. In @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Thank you, #CaptainObvious www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Jared Golden was the only Democrat to vote NO. If he voted yes, it would have passed. He isn't even running again. He's just a bad person who wants more people to die and wants a job lobbying for defense contractors. www.cbsnews.com/news/house-i...

Powerful piece by @nycpublic.bsky.social on the impact of deportations on US citizen children and others. "Even her college fund was gone, used to pay for her mother’s legal defense. The future Garcia so clearly envisioned...was derailed as soon as ICE detained her mother" www.nj.com/education/20...

#NIH funding saves lives. POTUS has proposed a 12% cut to the budget. This is already when a small percent of the NCI (National Cancer Institute) budget goes to childhood cancers. Research has slowed. Remember, this on Russel Vought. 🧪 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/o...

The largest ever settlement or jury award for government violations of constitutional rights to a single person is $100 million, or 1 percent of what Trump demanding for the leak of his tax returns. That case -- a killing by police -- was reduced to $1 million on appeal.

That assault on children, using the resources we citizens provided to that government, is what prompted me to activate this account.

Hello everybody, I want to believe just as much as anybody else does but I really need to tell you that in my 10+ years of experience as a disinformation expert, the only reason UFO shit gets put out by the government is to distract you from other really bad things

We are just over 6 months away from the implementation of some of the worst parts of the Medicaid cuts. Work requirements, 6 month renewals for ACA, 30/60 day backdating changes…. The amount of harm that’s already here but also coming can’t be summed up adequately.

What a cool idea! Keep the pressure! @redactedreadingroom put all 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files bound together in 3,437 volumes of books, on display in a new exhibit in Tribeca. David Garrett, one of the organizers, says the goal is to push for the release of all of the files. #Pinks

Update on ICE's "Detention Reengineering Initiative": GEO Group's CEO said today that "the warehouse project has been paused, and [DHS] is evaluating how to proceed with this initiative..." He also acknowledged that, as part of the plan, ICE is looking to buy upwards of 10 of GEO's existing jails.

We’re rolling out full day, full year, free child care for City workers at the Little Apple.

Libraries are a critical tool against rising fascism and need to be protected.

In Box Elder County Utah, commissioners are set to vote on a data center that would: -Occupying 40,000 acres -Use more natural gas than all of Utah -Use a billion gallons of water per year -Raise Utah's greenhouse gas emissions by 50% Mind you, the Great Salt Lake is already struggling with water.

The meeting was moved to Zoom because of the amount of protest following the prohibiting of public comments at the meeting. The commissioners ended up approving the data center. The environmental damage coming from this will be immense and possibly long lasting

It’s insane that a large majority of people believe that Trump is mentally unfit for office and the media literally talks about it never
