Hello! JesparDalVar from Twitter, who managed to get here early enough to use his preferred online handle. Should have jumped long ago, but I'm here now. It'll probably take a few weeks to get my social network reconstructed. If I followed you at the other place or vice versa, please let me know.

This is just our country now? Every single day it’s like “Today the Nazi laid off everyone who makes sure there aren’t shards of glass in your ice cream” and we’re all just supposed to shrug and keep going to work and paying our taxes? Pretty fucking bleak imho!!

“There are currently four people remaining over there to do the work of 15 people. The danger to the national airspace can’t be understated." "This is a very real threat to the American flying public.” EXCLUSIVE ⤵️

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

NEW: The CDC is currently removing all the influenza resources from their website during the worst flu season in decades.

From independent @USAID sources, >800 contracts and awards are being terminated en masse – with the procurement team subject to hourly checks on speed of executing terminations. The pace has exceeded the ability to confirm whether lifesaving assistance or any Congressional mandate is affected.

I got mad at the New York Times after their editorial board released an opinion piece condemning Trump's anti-trans EOs and I decided to write about how the paper of record laundered transphobia into the mainstream and paved the road for Trump's transphobia. www.patreon.com/posts/nyt-ed...

Trump and Musk’s hostile takeover is closing health centers, cutting care and raising prices — looting the Treasury to fund a massive tax cut. There are real people behind the numbers — including Trump voters!Uplift their stories and stop the power grab!

Trump just ripped away Medicaid from millions of Americans. This could get people killed.

YES! Why is this obvious to us and not them?

When Trump imposes tariffs on Colombian coffee, Colombian flowers, Colombian bananas and pineapples and avocados, on Colombian oil, it's us Americans who will pay those added costs. We're not even a week into Trump's term and he's already imposed a brand new tax on all of us.

Cooper DeJean is the only white cornerback in the NFL. How many more would there be without DEI?

The myth that Mussolini made the trains run on time is, I think, one reason why people talked themselves into voting for a fascist. There's this whole fiction about how they may be "harsh" but they "get things done." Nah. They even fuck up on kitchen table issues. www.axios.com/2025/01/26/t...

The most frustrating thing about Smith's report is that the facts were known: Trump planned in advance to use false claims of voter fraud to challenge a loss, his words incited J6 violence, he supported rioters, calling them things like "patriots," & Americans, nonetheless, reelected him.

I hope with the benefit of hindsight, Biden will finally be recognized for what he is: one of the most successful Presidents of our time. #ThanksJoe

I'm glad people are saying it and here's @michaelharriot.bsky.social with all the receipts: it all leads back to Joe Rogan. Also, people aren't making the connection to Texas, which is now the new hub of the MAGA broligarchy and disinformation HQ. threadreaderapp.com/thread/18771...

Yesterday, President Biden finalized a rule to remove medical debt from the credit reports of millions of Americans. The number of Americans with medical debt on their credit reports will be zero — down from 46 million right before he took office. Why isn’t anybody talking about this?

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

I remember Harris outlining policy to ban landlords from price fixing, creating tax burdens for corporate home buying, building 3M new housing units, and to give a $35K down payment for first time home buyers. The corporate media failed to amplify those messages.

Convicted felon, insurrectionist, and digital rapist Donald Trump wants to make it a crime to say that he is a criminal. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Buried lede: could end HIV if they charged $50 per dose and not $42,000

And look how the media is reporting it. “Walks back”. No motherfucker, he lied & you elevated that lie, after 4 years of pretending Biden was at fault for corporate greedflation. www.newsweek.com/trump-walks-...

F*CK CITIZENS UNITED Next time Dems are in power, we need to have a bill like this here. 📌 Australia’s Labor Party has proposed capping political donations at $20,000 per candidate to prevent billionaires from buying elections.

In the next month, Biden and Dems can... -Keep filling federal judicial vacancies -Ensure a pro-worker majority on the NLRB -Appoint key regulators to the SEC and FDIC -Renominate Lina Khan to the FTC And much, much more... Get it done.

If the motive for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is the denial of coverage for essential medical services, what does it say that there could be tens of millions of suspects? www.dissentmagazine.org/online_artic...

this only suggests to me that everyone needs to keep being meaner to those in power. the wealthy elite need to be scared
