@washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com why is it not your front story that the United States is bombing children? Why is that not your top story? Why would I fucking subscribe to you if you can’t tell me that the United States is bombing children? I kept my subscription up, but not anymore.

Out of town ICE thugs physically intimidate an immigration attorney protecting her clients. ATTORNEY: "Don't push me! Why are you trying to pick them up?" ICE GOON: "It's none of your business!" ATTORNEY: "It is my business—I'm their attorney. It's EXACTLY my business!" They give up and leave 😭

Let me get this straight. Chunky milk has his feelings hurt about not winning a Nobel so now he has to take over Greenland. Sounds like solid foreign policy…

The amount someone earns after completing a professional degree does not accurately portray its total value in our society. If it was a true reflection of social worth then educators, nurses, and librarians would be paid high six figures.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Why did I just retraumatize myself by watching the Dr. Greene death episode? Why didn’t I skip it? I’m crying like a baby. Somewhere over the rainbow has never been the same since original air date 23 yrs ago. 😭

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

To all the peeps in #WarRavagedPortland stay strong and we will try to get you medics and mobile coffee shops for the #DystopianFarmersMarkets 🔥👊☕️

I just needed a place to voice this publicly. I just read a headline that Ted Cruz does not agree with FCC threatening over speech. And I’m just not sure how to feel about this that I agree with Ted Cruz. I feel some way, and I don’t like it. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

ATTENTION📢 “For folks watching at home that believe that voters should pick their politicians instead of Donald Trump picking your member of Congress, call your governor. Call your state legislator & tell them to fight back against what’s happening in Texas.”- @repcasar.bsky.social #MessWithTexas

If I hear the rationale of cutting services for needy people as waste, fraud, and abuse one more time while there is a criminal professional grifter and fraudster in office, I’m gonna lose my shit. JFC

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

scientificamerican.comHere’s Your Cheat Sheet for Vaccine Recommendations Backed by ScienceThese graphics will guide you through science-based vaccine guidelines for children and adults

This is how we need to tell the American people what this regime is doing. No more sane washing all their bull shit.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Trump called Musk "a big-time drug addict" in a phone call shortly after their public feud. (WaPo)

WATCH: “Fear… humiliation… disbelief… I just kept saying ‘WE’RE CITIZENS” OKLAHOMA — Trump’s ICE raids the wrong family in the middle of the night with 20 men armed to the teeth, trashes and takes their stuff. Traumatizing them for life.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now. Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings. I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them. Get local media there. Make it real.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

We should all be scared as hell about this

1/ Musk seeking control over nerve systems of the federal government. As someone who spent a decade studying how centralized information systems are used for coercion this is a five alarm fire. We need to name it, identify risks, and seek to mitigate their impacts. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...
