“Daphy's death was preventable and is the result of a violent system that cages people, surveils them, abandons them, dehumanizes them in life, and smears them in death to escape accountability,” said @repsummerlee.bsky.social: summerlee.house.gov/newsroom/pre...

Excellent op-ed by the President, VP, & Secretary-Treasurer of UCHC-AAUP/AFT Local 6747 on the power of collective action in securing crucial research funding. 🔬🧪🧬 @ct-aaup.bsky.social @aftct.bsky.social Check it out:

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

So much for MAHA restoring trust

MYTH: A widespread level of noncitizen voting is taking place across the country. FACT: There have been very few cases of noncitizens intentionally voting illegally. Dispatching ICE agents to obtain personal voter files infringes on states’ rights to manage elections. https://bit.ly/49Ya4nc

Rep. Sam Liccardo along with local and state officials said the deterioration of the Pacifica Pier could have been prevented had the Trump administration not cut FEMA funding to shore up the seawall. nbcbay.com/6lWhCdK

This should concern every American, regardless of political party. California Governor Gavin Newsom says on X that he and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, have become targets of a Department of Justice investigation directed by the Trump administration.

The oppressors will tremble when the streets are clogged with protestors not just on Saturday or on... scheduled protest days. Pay attention or pay the cost. The monsters in charge see this as a demonstration and not a protest.

NEW LAW IN OKLAHOMA Data Centers Can't Pass Their Energy Costs to Consumers The law requires large-load customers adding 75 megawatts or more of demand to sign long-term agreements covering infrastructure costs tied to their projects, rather than spreading those costs across the general rate base.

Noah Berlatsky catalogs Trump's global carnage: 10,000 dead in Iran, 200 killed in South American boat strikes, 600K dead from USAID cuts, and Cuba starving under a fuel embargo, all inflicted by a regime that calls it foreign policy. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-glob...

If Trump is the womanizer he advertises, the devotee of feminine charms, the proud misogynist of his own mythology, why is the spectacle staged in his honor a homoerotic wrestling exhibition on the White House lawn? Oiled men grappling for the king's pleasure. Not a chorus girl in sight. Oh my!

Dear NYT, Congratulations on your access to the President, that is so cool; all you need to do to keep that access is lie for him, great deal! Anyway, the Strait was open *before* the war, Trump just spent $100s of billions to get worse deal than we had under Obama. Stop collaborating with him.

"Tell them to arrest me," the ICE agent defying CT law on mask ban. "Tell them... Who’s going to arrest me?” "We’re federal," another added. It's amazing how some people talk when they believe they'll never be held accountable. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks www.ctinsider.com/news/article...

How severely should we punish immigrant babies? Should we deprive them of food & torture them with lights on 24/7? Should we permanently damage their intellectual development to where they stop talking & start wetting or hitting themselves? No? Well, Trump & his #ICE thugs are doing just that!🧵

I don't believe this unassailable fact will ever stick. The media is too beholden to power and money. When we did Tesla Takedown, I'd give exhaustive interviews laying out Elon's murderous actions and the writer would ignore them, paint us as agitators and DOGE as Elon's 'cost cutting' initiative.

Did they actually talk to anyone in the civil service? Cause trust me, modest is not a word that comes to my mind.

This is how your lawn looks when you clean up your dog's shit.

A society that lets one man hoard a trillion dollars while families ration meals and sleep on sidewalks is not a civilization, it is a countdown. Such a grotesque imbalance corrodes every institution holding the republic together. Empires built on asymmetry like this do not endure; they collapse.

In 1863, Lincoln signed the National Academy of Sciences into law as an INDEPENDENT non-gov entity. Since WW2, we enjoyed pre-eminence in research. We benefitted from Germany's brain drain. We had the privilege of first access to next gen treatments before other countries. They looked to us. 🧪🧵

This makes a hell of a lot of sense.

A federal judge just ordered the National Park Service to put back every sign, display, and exhibit pulled under Trump’s “restore truth” order. Judge Angel Kelly just told Trump: you don’t get to rewrite American history. You have 21 days. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AQDSDrhmzTrq...
