The U.S. Navy plans to rename the USNS Harvey Milk, a fleet replenishment oiler named after the slain gay rights leader and Navy veteran, and is considering renaming multiple naval ships named after c... TikTok video by CBS Mornings

The Navy ship named after assassinated US veteran & gay rights activist Harvey Milk will be renamed during Pride month by Hegseth. This cruel, childish, erase history leanings of this administration will not be forgotten. Write your representatives & vote out those that side w/ erasing our history.

The impact of DOGE cuts are being called out by meteorologists in Florida and other states. They can no longer predict dangerous shift in weather that impact you without the data those agencies were providing.

Fact: The number of federal employees has not increased since the 1960s, despite the population explosion in the US. What impact will destroying our federal workforce have on all the services we count on? #NoDOGE

Watch what they do; not what they say. Trump is focused on jobs and manufacturing? Then why cut funding for women in trades and JobCorps (trade jobs program for at risk youth)?

CBS: “Do tariffs affect your businesses?” MUSK: “A little bit.” CBS: “You were a foreign student. How do you feel about Trump banning them?” MUSK: “Let’s stick to spaceships.” 🤷🏻‍♂️ CBS: “I was told ... TikTok video by The TN Holler

Musk asks not to talk about consequences. Zero surprise.

Opinion | Silicon Valley Is at an Inflection Point

In my first op-ed for @nytimes.com, I argue that the alliance between Silicon Valley & the US government is a threat to democracy. The Republican tax bill now up in the Senate, which would ban states from regulating AI for a decade, will only cement that trajectory. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Opinion | Elon Musk’s Legacy Is Disease, Starvation and Death

"If there were justice in the world, Musk would never be able to repair his reputation, at least not without devoting the bulk of his fortune to easing the misery he’s engendered."

Death, Sexual Violence and Human Trafficking: Fallout From U.S. Aid Withdrawal Hits the World’s Most Fragile Locations Exclusive State Department records show: As the Trump administration abandons its humanitarian commitments, diplomats are reporting that the cuts have led to violence and instability while undermining...

#USAID was the demonstration of our commitment to our shared humanity. Dismantling it has real, immediate, and long term consequences.

Everyone is replaceable. Trump & Musk said it & now CEOs are spreading the word. The idea that wealth trickles down, or that a company w/ an increase in profits hires more workers just isn’t true (we’re looking at you Shopify and Microsoft). Only workers, citizens can hold biz & gov to account.

The Trump Administration Leaned on African Countries. The Goal: Get Business for Elon Musk. The State Department has intervened on behalf of Musk’s satellite internet company in five developing nations. In Gambia, U.S. diplomats have lobbied and browbeat at least seven government ministers a...

Our tax dollars at work to strong arm independent countries on behalf of a business. How far from our ideals we’ve fallen.

250 years ago, Americans rejected a mad king.

On June 14, we’re taking to the streets again for a nationwide day of defiance to say NO KINGS.

List of HHS program cuts. For accessible PDF email altcdc1@pm.me

RFK Jr: “We will create an honest, unbiased, gold-standard science at HHS, accountable to the President, to Congress, and the American people.”

Here is the list of cuts not advertised or reviewed but instead pieced together by us from leaks. The programs in bold (most) have ALREADY been cut.

New Mexico made childcare free. It lifted 120,000 people above the poverty line The state, which has long ranked worst in the US for child wellbeing, became the first and only in the country to offer free childcare to a majority of families

Why is this story not in an American paper

Let’s tell more stories of how responsible governance can benefit more people and give them increased opportunities, instead of the supposed inevitably of the oligarchs having everything there is

Accepting white South African “refugees” because you want to believe in white persecution and denying real refugees of color who are in actual danger sounds an awful lot like needing a history lesson about the unfounded fear American slaveowners had about a slave rebellion. It led to the KKK & NRA.

Just a reminder that the CIA concluded that the Saudi prince had a journalist assassinated and is using AI surveillance to catch women not wearing the hijab or head covering. Trump just called Saudi Arabia “the greatest nation in the world”

It's good that folks seem to finally be on the same page that Americans should be eating healthier. But those same voices should probably make sure that Donald Trump is in the loop and not undermining... TikTok video by Briefing with Jen Psaki

Republicans want to eliminate the FERS supplement – a retirement benefit that helps career public servants make ends meet before Social Security kicks in. It's a lifeline, especially for veterans & em... TikTok video by Rep. Pressley

Imagine signing a fed employment contract, being @ the government’s control as to where you & your family lives (w/ moves every few years due to worldwide mobility agreement required for your role) & then learning you’ll be getting a take-home pay & retirement savings cut. 30% fed employees r vets.

Why is this so concerning? Forget the fact that Air Force One is built stateside under incredibly strict security so it can’t be tampered with, it’s also not a gift to the president from a foreign ally, for obvious reasons. Imagine if Clinton had won & then accepted a $400mil personal gift.

Great article from @vox.com today. Watch what this administration does, not what they say. The cruel soundbites are to distract you from their actual work to dismantle the social safety nets that make us a compassionate nation that cares for all its citizens.

Donald Trump never meant to keep his promises. His voters are starting to notice, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social writes.⁠ https://theatln.tc/sO3CuM9X

Just to be the numbers guy.

NPR only receives about $5m a year from the Federally funded CPR.
Its the local public radio stations that receive the bulk of the money, which is a paltry $100m when taken against the entire federal budget. That works out to $0.50 per tax payer.

This is the perfect illustration of how this administration treats women: “Be our spokesperson, but we won’t catch you when you fall.”

Imagine failing 5th grade geography... in Congress.

For the first time in 25 years we have an increase in the number of children dying worldwide, due in part to Trump’s destruction of #USAID. Gates calls this administration out.

Bottom trawling is horribly destructive to coastal ocean ecosystems, and deep-sea mining will do the same to the open ocean. #OceanFilm 🌊
