Hey, boo. We got you @newmexicotrue.bsky.social

It’s a frequent question but good lord, how does Lindsey Graham look at himself in the mirror? Utterly pathetic.

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

FDA to suspend quality-control program for food testing due to staff cuts

I’m reminded while fighting off the ‘Biden’s head was mush’ and the ‘Kamala Harris didn’t do enough to convince us to vote for her’ crowd that this 👇 happened 3 weeks before the November election.😒 youtu.be/pf3km6WDCyw?...

The mass layoffs at RFK's Department of Health and Human Services eradicated entire offices dedicated to ensuring health systems are kept operational and personal data is protected. Now HHS staff tell me the layoffs mean the system is on the brink of collapse www.wired.com/story/depart...

WATCH: “I’m here because I will not be bullied.” A pardon attorney fired by Trump says Trump’s DOJ sent armed U.S. marshals to deliver a letter warning her not to testify before Congress about Trump’s DOJ’s abuse of power. Context: www.yahoo.com/news/us-just...

A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed. www.washingtonpost.com/science/202...

Orange Monday.

If you needed another reason to boycott Amazon, even after it closed all its warehouses in Quebec to stop its workers from unionizing, here it is.

Good trouble. Creative, too.

If you’re in a blue state, make this call.

Grateful to have this photo for very frequent use. My apologies in advance.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

They lied. op: @senatorheinrich.bsky.social

“It’s like letting Hannibal Lecter mind kids or something.”

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Worth a read. “Maybe he’s just driven by personal grudges and is in way over his head. As a businessman, he bankrupted his Atlantic City casinos. Now he’s gambling with the national security of the United States.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/o...

wvmetronews.com/2025/03/26/w... Willis, a lawyer, invited people who feel like DEI policies are being imposed on them to call him or reach out via an email at a website he created, TomWillis@reportwoketeachers.com. “I just purchased this website this morning,” he said. Make good trouble, ya'll.

RFK takes the CDC another step down the road to full-on anti-vax dangerousness. New from @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/meas...

It never got a lot of attention, but Aber put a WHOLE LOT of child predators w/ties to law enforcement in prison. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/f...

Barack Obama had to denounce a fiery preacher who said “god damn America” because he went to a few of his sermons. JD Vance positively quotes (and still follows) people who write that American democracy is a cancer that must be destroyed. Not worth coverage in the New York Times.

This is how law firms should do it.

I was suspicious of this story given that it’s from a FB account and unsourced, so I looked up the guy who’s reporting on it and found this equally harrowing story from a German citizen

“Hitler wants a peace deal, but Poland started this invasion of Poland and clearly wants more war.” -MAGA, 1939

(Keep in mind the courage it takes to put your name on a document like this today—when federal employees are being fired for no reason, and in some cases illegally.)

I’d like a government that isn’t actively trying to kill its citizens.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— oh.

"No senator has blockaded the Trump administration's appointments to demand Musk be removed, investigated, and prosecuted. No judges have locked anyone up for contempt yet, despite a stance from the administration of unbroken contempt toward the courts. "

Here is the US Department of Education “End DEI Portal” where you can report public school DEI “offenses.” It’s kinda like the DOE hasn’t learned anything from all the other report portals and DOGE tattletale email addresses. Slow learners - no IEPs for them! Report as you will: enddei.ed.gov

Large scale data theft

Jeffries: "Let me be clear -- House Democrats will not provide a single vote to this reckless Republican budget. Not one. Not one."

Holy shit. This is scary. Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote. $2 TRILLION IN CUTS. The worst part 👇

Movements rightly or wrongly get defined by loud people within them and let me tell you the “my penis needs ladies to be houseplants” people are loud as hell

Hey, when random guys with no badges and no authority try to grab a protester and drag her away, that's when you put down the phone, get out of your seat, and fucking help her.

Keep in mind that the whole reason that they are doing all of this is so that they can allow billionaires and corporations to avoid taxes and falsely claim that it is paid for. They are robbing us.

Sepsis Rates Have Gone Through the Roof Since This Red State Banned Abortion: The Lone Star State has always been a beacon for freedom-seekers. People set out to make their way in whatever way they see fit, and for a long time, the people in charge of Texas were more than happy about the state’s…

On a Saturday too? Wow — well, here’s a summary of what Republicans voted to do this week: - Defund Medicaid - Defund Medicare - Not to protect IVF funding - Not to protect food assistance

Robbing America's poor to pay off the some of the richest humans ever to live.
