The Trump administration has just canceled a nearly $600 million contract with Moderna that was meant to develop a bird flu vaccine.

Nice opening line... “Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you! Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was shouting at Elon Musk in the halls of the West Wing last month, loud enough for Donald Trump to hear and in a language that he could certainly understand.” We love to see it. 🖤 web.archive.org/web/20250521...

Good Morning! ☀️🪶🌵

Pres, Gagliardi, of the 🇺🇸 Federation of Musicians: “We will not remain silent as 2 of our members Bruce Springsteen & Taylor Swift r singled out & personally attacked by the POTUS. S&S r not just brilliant musicians, they r role models & inspirations 2 millions of ppl in the US & across the🌍” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Saved the Apollo 13 crew with a piece of cardboard, a plastic dry cleaning bad, and duct tape. 💪🏻🏅🇺🇸

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

In 1873 Dr. Franklin B. Hough saw the need to protect forests from overexploitation. He wrote a report "On the Duty of Governments in the Preservation of Forests” calling for forestry schools and laws to protect & regulate forests. He championed stewardship over dominance. #AltCitizen #ForestFriday

@hcrichardson.bsky.social please post this video of Springsteen’s inspiring words at his Manchester concert: youtu.be/6ZHWIYHlXOs?...

I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal. I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

@altdhs.altgov.info #altcitizen A storied life! But BEFORE she was recruited, Nancy was a citizen resister. She bought and modified a truck into an ambulance that she herself drove to transport injured soldiers after her husband left to fight on the front lines. Brave is an understatement!

Can we just fix the airports and work on planes crashing?

The most important statement from today’s hearings.

We have our first protestor interrupting RFKJ! We are here for it. RFKJ is killing Americans. The Senate needs to WAKE THE FUCK UP and stop RFKJ.

Otoh, she dragged a harmless loving dog into a gravel pit to murder it and left it there for being a dog and trusting her so, that’s not exactly the pinnacle of maturity.

RFKJ: "NIH research led to the pandemic" This is such bullshit.

RFKJ can't answer basic questions about the halt of clinical trials. This has been going on for months. He is so utterly incompetent. Denies clinical trials are impacted despite widespread reporting.

Patty Murray (D. WA) talks about cancer patients who had treatment stopped suddenly because clinical trials were shut down. A good reminder that people are dying right now from HHS cuts.

Murray: Do you genuinely believe cutting NIH by half won't hurt cancer patients? RFKJ throws Trump under the bus. Offers to help the one person mentioned by Murray but won't address the problem. Call your Senators and tell them to get RFKJ out of HHS.

There's always a tweet.

The GRIZZLY GIANT may *only* be the 26th LARGEST tree in the world, but in my opinion it has the 1st-BEST NAME of the named Giant Sequoia trees. A fitting name for a gnarly looking tree which is estimated to be 3,000 years old. #Yosemite #NationalParks #ParkChat #Nature #Travel #ProtectOurParks

I remember this from four months ago.

Even Putin would be embarrassed by this.

The same people who went apoplectic when asked to wear a mask to *protect people* in a pandemic eagerly wear one to *kidnap people* in Gestapo cosplay.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

"Under the annual appropriations act, lawmakers are permitted to enter 'any facility operated by or for DHS used to detain or otherwise house aliens.' The law is clear that members of Congress are not required 'to provide prior notice of intent to enter a facility'..." www.cnn.com/2025/05/10/p...

This VetTales Friday has a Cuteness Factor of 11 🦌❤️ With the help of keepers, our vet team examined lil’ baby pudu (true name TBD) to make sure she’s healthy and is getting fed by mom (she is!) The exam was quick and baby was quickly back with Mama Riley. 📸: Keeper Valerie

The registry is to persecute and demonize autistics. Kinda like Nazi Germany. You have been warned

Cut cancer research and start a registry for ASD. Is no one else outraged? Cancer can be cured, ASD cannot. Focus on what matters. I've said it before... my son won't die of ASD, but if he is "rounded up" b/c of a list, THAT will kill him. This is Eugenics in action! #FirstTheyCameFor

The House spent a whole week on Gulf of America and Senate Republicans won’t even bring it to the floor for a vote. Another productive week for the Republican Congress.

We know we've been going in on some Star Wars rebellion quotes lately but this one really sings to how we want to fight. Gnight folks! This one by Rose Tico, in The Last Jedi

Marge Greene knows that she can’t win an election outside her Georgia R+30 district, so she won’t run in a statewide race and will instead write long essays with lots of excuses. But the truth is she knows she will lose.

If Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) enters the Georgia Senate race against Jon Ossoff (D), Republican senators are afraid she would win the Republican nomination, but probably lose the election. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Your moment of wild beauty ❤️
