The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

The beautiful dinosaur bird the Shoebill wants to say good morning Bluesky…. 🐦

To MAGA, who have lost everything in the Texas floods.... FEMA isn't coming to help you. This is exactly what you voted for.

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken legislature? Our corrupt SCOTUS? Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

My grandmother used to work at the local state hospital in the 1980s when Reagan closed them all. I remember the pain and frustration in her voice when she told me how they had to just turn disabled patients out on the street. The Republican Party has a long history of pointless cruelty.

Every single Republican who just voted to rip health care away from 17 million Americans has government-funded health care.

i don’t care about trump trolling musk. i care about him attending the grand opening of a concentration camp.

Just to underscore--the president is attending the opening of an immigrant tent city that was purposely built (in one week) on an abandoned airfield in the middle of the Florida Everglades because it's surrounded by alligators and pythons to deter people from fleeing, or kill them if they do.

These people are Nazis. I know that's well-understood by many people at this point, but not enough. They are Nazis and we need to keep saying it.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.

BREAKING: if the Supreme Court wants a class action to hold Trump's birthright citizenship unconstitutional nationwide, we will give them one! We @democracydefendersaction.org just filed with our wonderful partners @aclu.org, NAACP LDF, LULAC & more assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

I can’t bear the cruelty of this country. A 4 th grader went to an immigration hearing is behind bars. A man who had one lung removed, with no criminal history, was sent to the infamous prison in El Salvador. Seniors in wheelchairs protesting at the Capital were zip tied. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTj39EeDX/

I know it is easy to get distracted with all the horrors going down every day, but don't forget that yesterday, the bribe-takin' US Supreme Court put its seal of approval on gratuitous human trafficking. These are evil times.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

Big Oil spent billions electing Trump and Republicans. Now, they want to cut all investment in renewable energy. Meanwhile, taxpayers have spent BILLIONS of dollars per year subsidizing oil and gas for more than 100 years. I pointed out the hypocrisy in this week’s hearing with Secretary Burgum 👆🏼

Double.

Can't wait!! www.wired.com/story/big-in...

As LBJ said 60 years ago, freedom is not just opening the gates of opportunity. True freedom is ensuring everyone has the ability to walk through them.

Said it before, I’ll say it again. We shouldn’t privatize NASA. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/s...

It appears that the only info the CDC is allowed to publish is on X and mainly posts made by RFK Jr. There are articles on Bluesky that give info including cases of COVID on the rise again. Look up the #alt accounts as they are mainly current or former employees. www.npr.org/2025/05/21/n...

The Pentagon took the Emolument Jet @knecessary.bsky.social

Always telling on himself.

This is the hardest I’ve ever been owned online

Do you want an AI agent to be able to edit how your computer functions? Microsoft is going to allow Copilot to change your Windows settings. It's unclear yet what it will have access to, but if you don't want it near your setup, it might be time to disable it... www.cnet.com/tech/service...

Trump's crypto venture is fleecing his supporters. 80% of the new or small-time crypto investors in Trump’s coin have been hit with big losses. Meanwhile, his team is making millions off the coin’s trading fees, which stay stable even when its value goes down. It’s a grift.

NRA in 2020: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2021: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2022: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2023: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2024: "Ya know, tyranny's not so bad."

She’s out!! They have released Ozturk from ICE custody!

Breaking: Newark, New Jersey Mayor Ras Baraka (D) has just been arrested by the Trump administration after he was protesting outside of an ICE facility.

A FedEx board member will now be running the USPS. That’s going to entirely predictable places.

I'm reading Patriot, A Memoir, by Navalny. I highly recommend! #TogetherWeStand

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

How hard is it to spray that fucking ear? Dude looks ridiculous. More than usual. 😆

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.
