Research advocates prepare for next NIH budget fight www.axios.com/2026/04/02/r... #HHS #NIH #OMB #science #publichealth

HHS just published an update to its Scientific Integrity Policy. Notably, it has removed the concept of political interference, and no longer calls it out as something specifically to be prevented. www.hhs.gov/sites/defaul... (deletions in red, insertions in green)

To whoever thought it was fun to smash beer bottles on the path to the beach, fuck you.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran. These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East. And they put Trump's ego before America. Every damn time.

Trump attracts a certain type...

These criminals are telling on themselves. 45 is a puppet. Period.

“If you criticise Palantir’s platform one more time, you are going to lose your job.” Solidarity to all NHS workers opposing this toxic corporation. Shame on those bullying them. But they won’t stop us. We’re going to ditch Palantir. www.ft.com/content/ff70...

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater. This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning. Never doubt your power to change the system.

Repost from Mayra There were more protesters outside the Turning Point rally in Athens GA than event attendees.

Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States

‼️Election administrators in Maricopa County, Arizona ordered staff to grant federal agents sweeping, unmonitored access to election facilities — including instructions not to record their actions — according to newly released emails. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is what the future looks like. A ninth grader solving problems people with millions haven’t. While others talk, she’s building. Take notes. 🔥 #SheShed

You can be unhappy with what Israel does without being antisemitic. Israel needs a regime change. So do we. #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Not sure how this "no tax on tips" stunt was supposed to play out, but showing a senior citizen who is stuck driving Door Dash because she can't afford her husbands cancer treatment is not the flex they think it is. Or was that part bullshit too?

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

I LOVE this idea!

If evangelicals think Pope Leo is too”woke” just wait until they hear about this fellow called Jesus.

Americans! Look what a 77% voter turnout can achieve ! Resistance isn't futile..you just have to make some damn effort. I get so pissed off with those that complain about their political leaders but haven't bothered to vote! You vote for it- you own it. Otherwise STFU.

Food for thought: In '24, 245M Americans were eligible to vote. just 73.6 % of those (174M) registered to vote. just 154M of them actually voted. US voter turnout ranked in bottom 1/3 of all democracies. This is how democracy dies. Too many people have taken too much for granted for too long

There’s already a date onboard for a general strike May 1st, National Strike No work, no school, no shopping www.commondreams.org/news/no-king...

Extremely happy that Orban has lost but having JD humiliated yet again is the cherry on the top of that sundae. 😏

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 (I'm NOT deleting my post below 👇)

I'm so disappointed in the number of people defending Swalwell against his accusations, and the reasoning behind those defenses. I'll say it again. I believe women.

This .... ⤵️

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch the worst of the circus turn on the ringmaster. For too long we’ve seen airwaves immersed In the shouts of America’s worst. But with every new fumble, Alliances crumble; We’re watching the Trump bubble burst. substack.com/@heathercoxr...

They don't want to be on the record as voting to support the war. So they avoid the vote taking altogether.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

why did everyone fall for "the document dump"? there's thousands of hours of video. Epstein's job was to record powerful men doing bad things in order to create leverage. Duh.

We're living through the doom loop once again.

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

Turns out Russia, Russia, Russia was worse than we thought

I don't know if we can stop the terrible things that are happening. But I do know that we can commit ourselves as individuals and communities and societies to seek justice for as long as it takes.

Pete Hegseth: “Nobody makes a better deal than President Trump.” Really? It seems like a pretty shitty deal to me.

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

I'm gonna say that senators and representatives posting on social media that the madness has to stop is pretty weak sauce. These are people who, unlike the rest of us, can actually DO something to stop the madness. So maybe put down your phones and get to work?

Congress just convene yourself without Johnson, pick a new leader and impeach this guy

We cannot absolve ourselves with “I didn’t vote for this.” The US is a government of the People, by the People, for the People. Whether through ignorance or apathy, We the People collectively allowed ourselves to reach this point. Be prepared to own it.

We can’t unring the bell of an American president threatening to do genocide

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Hey, FIFA! You need to cancel all World Cup games scheduled to be played in the United States and redistribute those games to be played either in Canada or in Mexico. The US must be sanctioned! #StopTrump

📌I just looked your question up & the Answer is *YES*‼️...Military Police "CAN Apprehend a High Ranking Officer for Illegal Acts, Including UNLAWFUL ORDERS -- Under Uniform Code of Military Justice -- UCMJ)‼️⚖️‼️

My father flew B52s over Vietnam. It is what broke him. He was permanently changed. If you're in the plane, you can see the people you are about to murder.

B-2 crews better consult their lawyers about the penalties for committing war crimes.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

I remember this ad.

Why hasn’t Trump fired his Labor Secretary? She’s accused of having an affair with a subordinate, taking staff to strip clubs, drinking on the job, and taking fake “official” trips. Her husband is accused of sexually assaulting DOL staffers. 4 DOL staffers are gone. She remains. Why?

Been saying this for a while, but will repeat it for emphasis: “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".
