You should be calling on all scientists & researchers to boycott ThermoFisher and its subsidiaries until they cancel their ICE contracts. These people only care about their wallets.

@degette.house.gov sends out her weekly email newsletter detailing her business-as-usual strategy. She is the prime example of a corporate do-nothing occupying a safe blue seat. Happy to be supporting @melatkirosco.bsky.social for her replacement.

Decades of research reduced to “green new scam” It’s fucking insulting

Good

Polis encouraged Coloradans to follow two controversial online personalities, saying they do “actual thinking.” One used to write for a white supremacist publication, the other has posted in defense of sex crimes: westword.com/news/colorado-gov-promotes-white-supremacist-pedo-defender-40815741/

NEW: Democratic state senator launches bid as “insurgent progressive” to unseat Colorado’s John Hickenlooper coloradosun.com/2025/12/08/j... #copolitics #coleg

We're proud to announce our newest endorsement: @melatkirosco.bsky.social in #CO01! A barista & renter—who lost her job as a lawyer for defending pro-Palestine protests—Melat knows Denver's struggles because she's lived them. #CO01 needs a leader powered by courage, not corporations.

Tired of corporate Democrats wasting space? It’s time to @runforsomething.net! NYers: Both NY Senators needs to go, Schumer in 28 and Gillibrand in 30. Start now. There is no better time to take on the NY Dems, who prefer nepo babies and bankers to AOC and Mamdani. 🗽

No amount of spin will disguise this betrayal. Schumer & Co. have decided to abandon the American people as premiums soar. We deserve Dems who will fight like hell for our most basic needs. The politics of the past have failed us, it’s time to vote the establishment out.

Oh look, Flock cameras being used to wrongfully accuse citizens of crimes they have nothing to do with. She was driving past an area that a theft occurred. Fucking crazy. Poor people won’t have a dash cam to prove their innocence. @colorado.gov

Diana DeGette is a 30-year incumbent from bright blue CO-01 Denver. She guzzles corporatePAC funds while pretending to be a progressive. The most she can muster against Trump is a weekly newsletter that she doesn’t even write.

We fundraised from *2,000* more individual donors than the 30-year incumbent we’re challenging! And we raised over $125,000 without a dime from corporate PACs. The momentum is on our side and the message is clear: it’s time for a change in CO-1.

Russell Vought, OMB Director, is using this shutdown to further the aims of Project 2025. He is slashing the federal workforce, and dismantling our agencies. This is not just a shutdown standoff — it's finishing the job of DOGE. Take action for federal workers here! zurl.co/up9de

Country singer Zach Bryan condemns ICE raids in new song teaser, “Bad News”: “ICE is gonna come bust down your door / Try to build a house, no bills no more, well I got a telephone / Kids are all scared and all alone […] The fading of the red, white and blue.”

What's wrong with the Democratic Party? I couldn't possibly know where to start. Gray revolution? Embarrassing.

"It is past time for both Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer to step down and step aside. This fascist moment, this age of Trump, demands outspoken, unrelenting and fearless opposition... we all deserve better." I make the case, in my latest for The Guardian, for new leadership:

Denver voters: Melat Kiros is the strong, progressive leader that we need representing us in Congress. Diana DeGette continues to accept corporate donations and is failing to uphold progressive values. Check out kirosforco.com and give her your vote in next year's Democratic primary election.

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

Billionaires and corporations are buying our elections to drown out our voices, but we won't let them. Tune in to our Many Over the Money roundtable with @fsfp.bsky.social TONIGHT at 6:30pm to discuss the fight to get money out of politics & restore our democracy 👇 www.youtube.com/live/GLWjAKG...

@kenmartin.bsky.social over 3/4 of the party sympathizing with Palestine and y’all can’t advance anything? Resign you useless piece www.cnn.com/2025/08/26/p...

Dude do you have any idea what’s actually happening in this country??? What happened to you

The right getting bent out of shape over male cheerleaders in the NFL reminds me a lot of the very beginning of backlash to Dylan Mulvaney's Bud Light ad read.

I really don’t have words to describe how incandescently angry I am at Trump’s hosting of Putin. It spits in the face of every American who ever fought against tyranny, it’s an obscene affront to our allies, and the only reason it’s not treason is that we’re not actively at war with Russia.

also: a devastating indictment of the political instincts of every dem in leadership and with ambition who has not arrived here yet. bruh this dead-eyed operator who initially was hosting bannon on a podcast has somehow beat you to the punch on resisting trump

Every PhD student and postdoc who worked their butts off to learn hard things about science, and then contribute to human knowledge— especially those fired by Andrew Nixon’s HHS— should laugh at him. This is right. He’s a grossly unqualified person in charge of public health.

I have the upmost respect for the work the folks at the CDC. Working in an infectious disease lab during the outbreak of COVID was a real eye opener to the capacity for the general public to turn on science. With someone as STUPID as RFK Jr further exacerbating the problem? Infuriating RIP David

Terrifying. Consequences of the demonization of academia, research, and any other basis for truth that isn’t this administration. Fuck them. Fuck these crazies. I wish we had proper representation to combat propaganda the will continue to ruin lives.

Melat Kiros is challenging Rep. Diana DeGette in #CO01! Follow: @melatkirosco.bsky.social Support: kirosforco.com

I want to say something snarky but this really is just another sign of how degraded the GOP has become. No respect for the rule of law, no respect for anyone who cares about justice.

Scientists stand together

This is deeply illegal, and Trump is blowing up science in this way only because our corrupt, lawless Supreme Court has allowed him to violate the law and Constitution. Next post has a link… 1/2

We just went through a half-decade of sham censorship hearings in Congress, but it certainly seems like the government forced a comedian to get fired as a bribe to ensure a merger goes through. Is that true? Let's have a hearing and find out.

Curious

The Court is corrupt

We can’t have a democracy and have super PACs. Listen to my latest interview to hear why money in politics is the core problem in our democracy and my bill to abolish super PACs ⬇️

Clyburn sucks, too. Selfish dude. www.propublica.org/article/how-...

The Trump/Vought regime is seeking to completely destroy US science and universities. Happy Fourth of July! The American Founders believed education and an informed public are key to government by the people. ❌👑 #NoKings Resist. 🇺🇸

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported from the U.S. in March, says he was brutally beaten and subjected to psychological torture while held in one of El Salvador's most notorious prisons.

Pathetic from UPenn. This is the road to Orbanism. And Orbanism ended in the complete destruction of Central European University — CEU left Hungary entirely. That's the path US universities are on: destruction. We need them to stand up, not give in to the autocrat in the White House. 🧪

When dems like @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social diss a candidate who resonates so heavily with the younger gen, it clearly show why their time is up. We aren’t okay with just ‘not going back’ as a campaign slogan. Give us the very real solutions that we have been on board with for years. Take notes.

really sums up the media’s coverage of the Trump presidency

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Among Democrats - "Democratic party leaders should be replaced" Agree: 62% Disagree: 24% Ipsos / June 16, 2025

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

🫡 reported for duty PowerPoint slides are the new picket signs

A draft dodger is forcing our brave troops to do a masturbtory parade for his birthday because he doesn’t have any real friends. Top notch loser shit.

I get the sense that a lot of people see protesting as cringe because they don't understand what it accomplishes, and I get that... to them, I say: just go. Experience what it feels like to be part of a Very Large Crowd of your fellow citizens. That feeling has radical political implications.
