Sounds about right.

The RFK, jr effect.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

When we say “billionaires should not exist,” what we mean is: Instead of billionaires… Everyone should have healthcare. Everyone should have housing. Everyone should have access to healthy food and clean water. Billionaires are a policy failure.

My quote of the day I feel my heart break to see a nation ripped apart by it's own greatest strength - it's diversity. Melissa Etheridge

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

This 👇🏽

Kilmar Abrego Garcia released from detention. Grand jury failed to induct Tish James for a second time. Indiana Republican senate votes down redistricting. Trump failed at authoritarian consolidation and he's losing his grip on power. We're going to win.

This presidential “pardon,” as it’s for a state crime, is the equivalent of digital toilet paper, only flimsier and serving a less useful purpose.

Seems a little wild that DHS would call me out by name and say that this scene is offensive to Christians. I like seperation in my church and state. Moreover, what's offensive to Christians is the dehumanization that DHS and ICE are practicing. That is evil and an offense to God - not my nativity.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Today the FDA updated its home page with théir “7 month progress report”. I have some shit to say about it. 🧵🧵🧵 @hhsofficial.bsky.social

Missouri Sen. Hawley amps up pressure campaign on FDA chief to limit medication abortion www.newsfromthestates.com/article/miss...

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

More HHS lies! They are falsely blaming Dr Houry for not releasing this year’s abortion surveillance data. But who is actually responsible?The incompetent HHS clowns 🤡 who fired the staff who did this work. Even 🧠🪱 should be smart enough to figure that one out. edition.cnn.com/2025/12/09/h...

1/6 There's a lot to unpack in the new President's Management Agenda, Russ Vought's blueprint for shrinking agencies and sidelining expertise. But one section felt especially nauseating, so we'll start there: the part about "ending censorship." Let's break it down. 👇

Christ is AI King!

The number of convicted criminals in immigration detention is about 1.8x what it was when Trump took office. The number of people with no criminal record whatsoever — who are detained solely for immigration reasons — has shot up **25.5x** open.substack.com/pub/austinko... (via @austinkocher.com)

Admiral Rachel Levine was the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to serve in the federal government. Her official portrait at HHS headquarters has been altered. n.pr/48HypvT

Well, Senators Bill Cassidy and Thom Tillis, you wanted RFK Jr. to “go wild” at HHS. Congratulations. You’ve achieved your goal. He is well on his way to completely destroying the US vaccine program.

I had no idea that Ms Rachel was an antisemite. Now looking at my toddler very differently.

Factually incorrect and dangerous, both for the kids who won’t get vaccinated and our society more broadly. MADA Make Americans Die Again

bugs bunny was literally the first guy in drag i ever saw but ok

We know everyone is asking for your money this month, but here's a twist: We're NOT asking you to donate in December, we're asking you to spread the word. Help the trans people and allies who don't know Assigned Media's reputation for excellence and originality in trans news find us!

MAHA is a Trojan horse for the pharmaceutical industry.

Pettiest most mangled chode of a human being

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

Yep. Murder.

(2/2) this crushing blow does not mean I’m giving the fuck up though. I am steeled and here till the end! Fuck these Darwin deserving grifting disease giving ass kissing shit holes. Found a chart of who the FDA has lost.

@thanedar.house.gov, thank you for being willing to stand up for human rights, even if some of your party isn’t willing to stand beside you. This is the kind of leadership we’re looking for - Representatives that will hold Trump’s regime responsible for actual murder.

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.

The Death Rattle of White Supremacy and Trump Unpacking the Chaos: From Health Scares to Escalating White Nationalism, the MAGA Movement is in Freefall—And Taking the Country With It. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-death-...

When writing this piece, I kept thinking back to this Instagram post I saw from a trans woman the other day. This is what I'm talking about. Watch this:

C'mon Nashville! Kick some trumpanzee ass.

I am going to remind u now of my 2019 scoop: www.thedailybeast.com/fox-and-frie...

And this still won't be enough. The fact they let trans folks be volunteers will still attract attacks from the gender critical crowd. They will not stop until they've pushed all trans people out of society entirely.

I wonder if knowledge of the double tap prompted the six members of congress to make that ad, and that's what made Trump and Hegseth so angry about it.

CALLOUT: I am looking to interview individuals who have sought health care at crisis pregnancy centers, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and want to talk about their experience. The center can be located anywhere. If you or someone you know might be interested, please email or send me a DM.

To note just one of the many problems with this idea, there are multiple that countries do not permit you to relinquish citizenship — and some of those countries also have jus sanguinis laws that make someone a citizen even if they were born in the U.S. and never left.

Anti-vaxxers distort science to confuse followers about what “gold-standard” actually means in order to disguise propaganda as research. That’s how you arrive here.

Putin is letting his soldiers HUNT Ukrainians in Kherson with drones — a genocidal human safari. Meanwhile, Trump wants to give Russia control of Kherson, so that they can finish the job. His administration supports genocide, from Gaza to Ukraine to Sudan to immigrants & trans people in the US

Keep in mind that white American males shot and killed countless Americans including many children, and no one ever did a thing but protect their right to do it again.

Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.” As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store. Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

There is talk going around that DHS is now arresting people who fly *domestically* if they have final orders of removal. Undocumented youth should consider consulting a lawyer to find out what their record is -- especially those whose parents had prior interactions with immigration.

Well-reported, this story is quite revealing. It seems that RFK, Jr. may be genuinely trying to evaluate scientific evidence, but he cherry-picks evidence to support his preconceived views and dismisses other evidence as corrupt. #ScienceNotScience 1/4
