Are there any groups helping folks get acceptable IDs if Republicans pass their bullshit laws? If yes, drop the links so we can start fundraising.

The RFK number seems like a massive failure of the media to explain what RFK is doing to our public health system and how catastrophic it will be

Folks have noted that shutting down DHS also means shutting down FEMA. But it's important to remember that Trump already has been fighting to deny $233 million in FEMA funding to blue states. www.ksbw.com/article/judg...

Call me crazy, but having the commander in chief of the military trying to order the military to vote for him seems like an unacceptable abuse of power.

Here are some ways to raise a stink about it. www.tumblr.com/noriakikakyo...

Steve Sack.

Thiel had ties to Epstein. Palantir is part of the surveillance state. Why is Discord partnering with anything linked with those? Do they think users will stick around? www.pcgamer.com/software/pla...

A leading American research lab is slated to lose its critical supercomputing facility, according to a letter released by the National Science Foundation.https://cnn.it/3MoF7zU

I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked

WOW. Incredible. This is the case in which DHS claimed that ICE officers had been attacked with a shovel and fired back in self-defense. Evidence since suggests an ICE officer fired through a closed door and struck someone on the other side. Will DHS retract the prior claims?

Telegraphing election interference and voter intimidation. www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

I feel like this is something relevant to Gail Simone’s interests.

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail. It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children. Vought is a mass murderer.

In a normal world, this would bring Congress into the ring.

Of course this asshole has been sexually harassing staff and burning through taxpayer money… www.biospace.com/fda/fdas-pra...

Where is Congress?

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees. This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

They just had one vaccine killed by FDA for no good reason.

Now I wonder what has happened to the mRNA pancreatic cancer vaccine candidate…

The full story with a gift link (it's such a mess):

If the Attorney General is yelling at Congress members during an oversight committee, screaming that the President is the greatest ever and everyone owes him an apology, when the Justice Department is supposed to be an independent entity, maybe she should be immediately dismissed. #EpsteincoverUp

A Kafkaesque saga in which the government has failed to produce critical video footage from an ICE detention facility has reached new levels of absurdity. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. Read here: www.404media.co/government-l...

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today. It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files. Just wow.

Absolutely. If this SCOTUS allows it, we need to start helping orgs get underlying docs and passports to those who need them.

If we are required to show a passport in order to vote, doesn’t that make passport fees an illegal poll tax?

feels like i should re-post this every few weeks

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Can’t wait until she is impeached. www.huffpost.com/entry/pam-bo...

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

During these 37 years here's the average job growth per year under the two parties: Democrats - 2,500,000 Republicans - 90,000 2/

We now have data from Trump's first full year in office. Let's review the performance of Trump and the two parties since 1989 and a new age of globalization began. However you cut the data Trump continues to have worst jobs record of last six Presidents. 1/

"... any serious push to account for the actions of this government — to abolish the president’s private army, restructure immigration enforcement and punish anyone responsible for wrongdoing — must include recompense and repair for its victims."

The president of OpenAI has donated almost as much to Trump as the DNC has cash on hand www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

i'm morbidly curious to see what happens if the SAVE Act passes and then millions of Americans naively try to order a passport the week before elections only to find out it can take over a month even during normal circumstances

I think people would be less upset if corps and platforms (including Discord in the past) hadn't been completely awful at keeping PII private. They just want us to trust them, and they've already lost that trust.

The cruelty is the point. www.huffpost.com/entry/russel...

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses? People

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Pennsylvania’s Affordable Care Act insurance marketplace reported Monday that nearly 20% of their enrollees, roughly 85,000 people, dropped their coverage. From @wdownard.bsky.social

Discord is going to teen-by-default globally unless you verify age, and I have zero confidence that they will maintain user privacy and PII. Not to mention that this assumption puts a huge onus on users, most of whom are adults. discord.com/press-releas...

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Republicans are such big snowflakes. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Do we get to do the same for Alito, Thomas, Barrett, and Kavenaugh when they attend their next right-wing event? www.huffpost.com/entry/ketanj...

Can they go after the networks that gave Trump billions in free airtime in 2015-2016? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Of course they did. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Someone asked if I was gonna watch the Super Bowl and it occurred to me that I don’t even know who is playing. So that is a no. I’ll catch the music on YT later.
