Aidan Bedford "Interspecies interaction between humpback whale and bottlenose dolphins."

Ex-farm worker here. We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing. Not true AT ALL. Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are. The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour. At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

You elect a sexual predator whose closest friend was a child rapist and you doubted he was in on the action? Now you’re surprised that he doesn’t want any new evidence of his involvement to get out? Really?

Boy, if only someone would have told Epstein everything was fake and a creation of Obama and the CIA and deep state, he wouldn’t have had to take his own life or have it taken by imaginary people

Padilla: "What if I was outside a Home Depot, because I like to do some work around the house, not dressed in a suit. Would I be a target of ICE enforcement under Tom Homan? Probably. And it is just wrong."

It worked! He voted no on bringing it to the floor and then ran away and hid!! 😂

Here's the view of the DIE-IN in front of Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick's office building in PA-01, as seen from above. We want him to VOTE NO on Trump's Billionaire Bailout Budget Bill! Thank you to Ava Redmond for her drone work!

There is no way the total number of protests attendees was under 10 million. Small red towns/cities had thousands. Here in Riverside we had over 5000. Might want to some recalculating.

It’s been around since 1983.

Mood

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Trump’s tariff strategy is maximum uncertainty, maximum doubt. And Clive Crook can’t think of a worse formula for the economy right now 🎥

The world's 500 richest people saw their combined wealth fall by a combined $208 billion, the most since Covid, as tariffs sent markets into a tailspin

Let's give some color here. Johnson is pretzelling himself to try to make him and his leadership team look less incompetent than they are. Here are the facts:

Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in Berkeley for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. Fuze claimed they were paid protesters and he went there to show his support for Musk and DOGE.

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

It's a good summary w/a promise to support labor at the end. I don't see a framework, and I certainly don't see details, let alone specific, actionable details.

I expected a bullet points list of specific and concrete actions to attack Project 2025 & Musk’s DOGE. How is this helpful? It reads like an essay and recites the usual “stand on the side of working people & unions” without specific suggestions to address the harm being done by gutting & corruption.

You should resign because you are absolutely not Able to do what’s going to be needed to protect democracy and our citizens from the ongoing coup

A memo??? WTAF?? When is the Dem Caucus going to form a proper shadow government?? They need to be holding news conferences three times a day, every single day, on the capitol steps!!

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

#medsky#pedsky#idsky#immunosky 🧪 In the midst of all of the scary headlines recently, I thought I could take a moment to share a bit of good news: for the first time in history, a malaria vaccine with >90% efficacy seems to be within reach! Here’s why that’s a really big deal for EVERYONE 🧵

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

Morgan Freeman shared this.

farcical

If you’re a democratic lawmaker you need to be on camera in your office telling specific stories you’ve heard from your constituents about this freeze right now. My DM’s are open to any office that needs assistance or aid in editing or filming guidance.

Do you wonder why you haven’t heard much about this massive TB outbreak recently? Cuz the CDC can’t hold any press conferences or issue public statements of any kind. abcnews.go.com/Health/kansa...

How’s that working out for ya?

I receive many comments that imply it's a waste of time to call and criticize GOP electeds, that it doesn't make a difference. I disagree. We must always push back, make our objections clear, slow their roll, and force them to look in the mirror. Inundate and annoy them. Make life hell, when needed.

We need to pay attention to this now before it’s too late.

NEW: In an unexpected move last night, the North Carolina Supreme Court dismissed GOP candidate Jefferson Griffin’s petition challenging over 60,000 ballots cast in his November 2024 race for a seat on the bench, which he lost to incumbent Democratic Justice Allison Riggs by over 700 votes.

This poster is from the U.S. Holocaust Museum. Download and spread this image. We have to recognize these signs before it's too late.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.

We are now in the “muzzle the intelligent” phase.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The Trump administration is not setting the course for a four-year term. The Trump administration is setting the course for an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

Every inspector general who Trump unlawfully fired must remain in their positions until the courts order them to leave. Trump is both appointing unqualified flunkies and trying to eliminate any form of accountability. Senate Republicans can stop him by rejecting Kash Patel.

Donald Trump has promised retribution. When you hear that a Trump foe is under investigation, be skeptical. When you read about anonymous leaks against pro-democracy leaders, consider that it may be part of an effort to discredit their work. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states. To get past algorithmic censorship, they’re writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.

On this day in 1973, Roe v. Wade changed everything. The U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision saved lives, empowered women to decide if and when to start a family, and affirmed their right to make critical healthcare decisions themselves.

“I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits." - Martin Luther King, Jr. May we all embody that spirit and hold tight to our compassion. #MLKDay

"If peace means keeping my mouth shut in the midst of injustice and evil, I don't want it." MLK, Jr, 1956. The Rev. Dr. King died fighting for justice and equality for the working poor. As you remember his birth don’t misremember his life.
