Thousands in Chagrin Falls? That's... actually really impressive.

Right now *we* don't even want to be us, so no offense taken!

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streetsβ€”nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Commentary: RFK Jr. reportedly puts anti-vaxxer in charge of studying debunked link between vaccines and autism The claim of a link between vaccines and autism has been decisively debunked. Why has RFK Jr. put one of its promoters in charge of investigating it?

It has been extensively studied already, there is no link. More evidence that they really aren't out to save money, just push their uneducated, tin foil hat, pseudoscience woo fuckery.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

The biggest problem with putting plans for bombing Yemen in a group chat is that THE UNITED STATES HAS BOMBED YEMEN ALMOST FIVE HUNDRED TIMES SINCE 2002, NOT INCLUDING THE ILLEGAL CLUSTER MUNITIONS AND OTHER WEAPONS WE GAVE THE SAUDIS TO ALSO USE TO BOMB YEMEN.

WE SHOULD STOP BOMBING YEMEN.

3 dead so far at Krome ICE detention center in Florida. Max capacity was 500, they have over 4,000 and not enough water and food. Reports say they get 1 cup of water per day.

These are already death camps.

I’m keeping a rough tally of just the cuts I’ve heard about from my immediate colleagues, and we’re currently at around -$35M πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« These are programs around such trivial things as:
- making childbirth safer
- housing for adults with autism
- rural healthcare
- preventing heat stroke in Phoenix

Hegseth should resign, but so should every single person in that group chat. They all ought to have known better.

This includes JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Tulsi Gabbard, Scott Bessent and John Ratcliffe. They all need to resign and should face criminal charges for mishandling classified information.

Bernie Sanders isn't an uwu smol bean. He's a fucking senior Senator. If you can't call him out when he sticks his foot, ankle, and entire leg in his mouth doing racism, than he's useless and should be replaced.

Sorry not sorry. 🀷

If "the public" were to "rise up" Schumer would be on here every day scolding everyone and would end up being one of 15 Senate Democrats to vote for a bill called something like the Omnibus Tax Reduction and Let President Trump Napalm Protesters Act of 2025.

Calling All Ethical Lawyers In the face of Trump's retributive assaults on our justice system, the duty of the legal community cannot be clearer: fight back

Despite attempts to retaliate against those opposing the Trump administration's attack on the justice system, @mimirocah1.bsky.social explains that the legal profession is increasingly finding its voice, pushing back against intimidation and political interference.

THANK YOU! It's one of my biggest pet peeves to hear people say - though it does let me know right away they have no idea what they're talking about.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

The Democrat's bloodlust is just as potent as MAGA's and we need to reject it, no matter which side it comes from.

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

It arrived. From OPM.

Demanding 5 bullets every Monday going forward.

This week a federal judge ruled β€œ[OPM] does not have any authority whatsoever under any statute in the history of the universe to hire and fire employees at another agency.”

You do not report to OPM.

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

The Trump administration has launched an FBI investigation into a $20 billion grant program for clean energy projects established under the Biden administration. These funds, managed by the EPA, were intended to support climate initiatives, particularly in low-income communities.

We have the most overfunded & powerful military in the world. A military they have used against citizens before and won't hesitate to use again.

Bc of the years of disinformation, cuts to education, & the 2nd Amendment, we have to be strategic.

US resistance looks different bc it HAS to be.

The way my alma mater treated me over the course of my last 3 graduate courses told me everything I needed to know about how they don't see their students as human.

I'm absolutely not surprised.

Sign the Petition Appoint Emergency Management Professionals to the FEMA Review Council

‼️ Sign the Petition to Appoint Emergency Management Professionals to the FEMA Review Council ‼️

Currently, the FEMA Review Council only consists of politicians.

The public needs an unbiased committee of actual professionals to determine the future of emergency management.
