They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

Didn’t they like…. Just open their doors?

Shoutout to Metro, though! Most functional thing about this city this week 😂

I don’t work in an office so I’ve been going in every day since Sunday 🥶🫠🙃

Question for us Kaiser members who want to support the UNAC/UHCP workers! For nonessential care should we be postponing appointments until the strike is over?

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The only caveat being that just because a truck was on a street doesn’t mean they actually had their plow in operation or actually treated the road 🫠 some truck got 50% of the way up our street, gave up, backed out, and I doubt they’re coming back anytime soon 😂

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

In addition to abolishing ICE and trying and jailing every single one of those fuckers, disarming US federal law enforcement so they can't casually kill people seems to be a minimum demand for the future.

Who decided all these colors should be more or less identical? 😂

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

“Yes,” said Frog, reaching for a cookie, “we need will power.”

“What is will power?” asked Toad.

Pulitzer Prize Board members seek discovery of Trump finances, psych records, prescription meds Pulitzer Prize Board members filed a litany of broad discovery demands in an attempt to beat back Trump's defamation suit over Russia probe reporting awards.

Anybody read the latest on Trump’s lawsuit with the Pulitzer Prize Board?

Their recent reply asked for Trump’s tax returns, Psychological records, prescription medication history. 😂

Perfect reply. Basically saying “you’re f’ing crazy”.

When people ask me what I did this weekend, the answer is almost always this

I hope that people are talking to Ayanna Pressley about running.

Markey could lose or he could kick off during the campaign, and having one of MA’s senate seats locked up by the John Fetterman of Marblehead would be a disaster.

again this does not have to be left to the voters but of course the senate did not even vote to censure or expel the eight senators who voted to reject an election on January 6
