Time for a big book rec: Bad Company, by old friend @greenwell.bsky.social. It comes out today. Hand to heart, I would've read this book cover to cover even if I didn't know the author at all. It's legit. bookshop.org/p/books/bad-...

😡😡😡

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

Trump told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

🤯🤯🤯

Right out of the Project 2025 playbook. #hudsonvalleystrong

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

🎯🎯🤣🤣

He's a hero...........

Booker finally yields after more than 25 hours of speaking 👏👏👏

YOU APPRECIATE IT AS ITS SLIPPING AWAY? YOUR VOTE IS YOUR VOICE. WHY DIDNT YOU VOTE? IS THIS SHIT HAPPENING NOW WHAT YOU WANTED?

Elections I’m 👀 TOMORROW: —WI’s Supreme Court —FL’s specials —Mayoral race in Omaha —Mayoral race in Aurora, a Trumpian mayor in an IL city —County executives in Dane and Winnebago, WI —WI’s school superintendent —school boards all around, including far-right candidates —WI’s voter ID referendum

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

JUST IN: Judge James Boasberg has been assigned to the Signalgate lawsuit.

This administration is a fucking disgrace.

Well, they lied. Obviously.

🤮🤮🤮🤮 Nothing is sacred to oligarchs except mammon.

AOC: Alina Habba said, “What intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.” I don’t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me, she’s talking about all of us.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

This below can happen to any of us. The ones who do not support Donald Trump. He doesn’t follow court orders and it’s just a matter of time until we’re in a full dictatorship. We need to protest in millions not thousands. We need to do it for however long it takes to save ourselves.

Utter shameless assholes.

I know people who cheer for cutting social programs—not to save money, but because they believe some lives just aren’t worth saving. Social Darwinism with a eugenics twist isn’t rare. That warning bell rang before, but when cruelty gets the green light, it spreads fast.

Polluters get a free ride to pollute as US Supreme Court guts E.P.A.’s ability to enforce strict water quality standards under the Clean Water Act, with major implications for offshore Pollution regulation. www.onegreenplanet.org/news/supreme...

So glad I canceled my subscription a few months ago. Benzos can shove his propaganda rag where the sun don't shine.

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

This helps...🤣🤣🤣🤣

RIP to one of the bona fide greats

Over the course of my career, @joyannreid.bsky.social has been one of the few to give me and so many other Black voices consistent airtime. In a time in which Black women’s voices are needed now more than ever— This cancellation hurts, but the bounce back will be impeccable. We got you, Joy.

Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Awesome. America #1

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

Did You Know? The inventor of the bestselling Super Soaker was a Black man—and Hasbro tried to cheat him out of his royalties. In 2013, Lonnie Johnson, a nuclear engineer and former NASA scientist, won a $73 million settlement from Hasbro for underpaid royalties. Johnson holds over 80 patents.
