UPDATE: COLOMBIA’s President says 🇺🇸 government (Trump) “committed murder” and bombed a fisherman with no ties to drugs “The boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure”

This photo should make you fume. ZIP tying a toddler. WHY?? What could be the reason???

Saw Chappel Roan tonight, very good show. Causes me to go down memory lane of all the good nay great shows I've seen. I love live music!

⚠️This is the Jimmy Kimmel monologue that got his show pulled. Not hate. Not celebration of death. Just the truth: Republicans rushed to blame the left before any facts about the shooter or motive were known. Keep sharing it. Spread the truth.

The blacklist capitulation by movie studios in response to the Joe McCarthy witch-hunt proves that there is NO history of corporations prioritizing values or free speech over profits. #JimmyKimmel

This happened in CO today. Three teens were critically wounded and they’re fighting for their lives. The violence against our kids is still happening. I’m elevating this story as the media and the current regime only seem to want to focus on that other person. This is the real story right here

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

Gerrymandering is a form of voter suppression. Voters in gerrymandered states find out quickly that their vote doesn’t count toward their representation, so they become apathetic.

Covid sucks. I'm so sick.

We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories. Vaccines are safe and effective. Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans. He must resign.

📌Republicans are bringing back polio and measles, and defending child rape, and we're actually wondering if this will affect their chances at the polls ...

Stephen Miller: "All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been ... we're gonna ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old."

This image haunts me. An enemy of democracy standing at the podium with the US presidential seal.

Horrifying. We are here.

NEW: A study has found that gun deaths of children and teens increased dramatically in states with lax gun laws over the last 13 years. Guns are the leading killer of young people in America. We should not be forced to accept this as normal in exchange for unfettered access to guns.

This finding reinforces what we already know: Strong gun safety laws work, full stop.

The USDA has withdrawn a plan to impose stronger safety regulations limiting salmonella levels in raw poultry. Who was the biggest donor to Trump's inauguration fund? Pilgrim’s Pride — one of the largest chicken processors in the country. See how this works?

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

This is disturbing

FBI arresting judges for political reasons is bad.

Cinco de Mayo parades in Chicago, Philadelphia, and San Jose have been canceled due to organizers' concerns about ICE raids and anti-immigrant sentiment, as community members fear attending.

UNREAL: "Department of Veterans Affairs announced today that 1,400 people are getting laid off. This comes after the VA laid off 1,000 people earlier this month... We're already hearing that surgeries are being canceled or postponed at the VA." www.rawstory.com/trump-tammy-...

The FDA vaccine committee meeting that was supposed to discuss how to update next season's flu vaccine was abruptly cancelled today. It’s a key step to allow influenza vaccine manufacturers sufficient time to prepare updated shots for the next season. No explanation was provided.

Everything he says about deportation camps on military bases is spot on—and alarming. But don’t get thrown off by the name Blackwater. It’s still out there—rebranded. Blackwater became Xe in 2009, then Academi in 2011, before merging into Constellis in 2014. The name changed but the op lives on. 🧵

CIA Announces It Has Obtained The Briefcase

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Good info

Did you know that local, state, and federal governments across the U.S. spend billions of taxpayer dollars annually purchasing firearms and ammunition. This purchasing power can help drive change, including holding the gun industry accountable to prevent gun violence. Here’s how it works. 🧵⤵️

$16 billion was spent in the last election. Enough to eradicate world hunger. Twice over. Our elections now feel like auctions. A contest to corral the most billionaires. Citizens United put us on the fast track to an oligarchy. For us to find our way back, it has to be undone.

Kids coming over for the holidays? SECURE YOUR GUNS! Firearm injury is the leading cause of death for children and teens (0-19) in the United States. #KeepKidsSafe #SafeStorageSavesLives

A reminder to anyone trapped in an airport due to weather conditions right now: You have a right to stay in a nearby picturesque village while the airline sorts out a rebooked flight for the 27th. They also have to provide a widowed lumberjack for you to fall in love with. Know your rights.

Probably should be a bigger deal that Musk, the richest man on Earth who is essentially acting as the leader of the GOP, endorsed the pro-Nazi AfD Party in Germany in a tweet the same a day a supporter of that party killed people in an act of terrorism. The VP Vance just supported Musk's tweet.

Each year, more than 4,000 children & teens are shot and killed, & more than 17,000 are shot & wounded. Homicides account for roughly 6 in 10 gun deaths among children, & gun suicides are on the rise—a public health crisis that communities & elected officials can prevent. #EndGunViolenceNow

Word of the day. Or week. Or next four years.
