I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I donโ€™t even qualify for unemployment since Iโ€™ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.

Seeking suggestions for anywhere thatโ€™s hiring!!

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasuryโ€™s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. โ€œLock him up,โ€ everyone yells.

I'm so angry at most white men right now. To all good men: please take responsibility to proactively speak out and act out against other men who are working to take away women's hard-won rights! Please engage!

Let me put this as bluntly as I can.

Without clinical trials, I would be dead. Melanoma would have killed me at age 35 - leaving my 3- and 6-year-olds without their mom.

Unmitigated cruelty. And for what?

Zuckerberg conceded there would be more โ€˜bad stuffโ€™ on his sites. Hereโ€™s the latest. The social networking giant will stop using third-party fact checkers and instead rely on users to add notes to posts. It is likely to please President-elect Trump and his conservative allies.

Facebook is ending fact checking program designed to reduce the spread of misinformation across its social media apps. Instead of using news organizations and other third-party groups, Meta will relay on users.

When Hillary lost, she conceded graciously and then went for a walk in the woods.

When Kamala lost, she conceded graciously and then got back work as our VP.

When Trump lost, he wouldnโ€™t concede and then incited a deadly attack on our Capitol.

January 6, 2021 was one of the darkest days in our nation's history. Four years later, Donald Trump is gearing up to pardon those who tried to destroy our nation.

We cannot forget it. We must fight back.

We must flip the House and the Senate to hold Trump accountable.

While weโ€™re banning booksโ€ฆ

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

Harris would have been an excellent president. She would have had capable advisers. She would have transformed the Dem Party with muscular progressivism. Iโ€™m still not over it

Once again, Democrats held to a ridiculous high standard, while Republicans aren't held to any standard at all. I don't believe that these bad faith actors don't know what they're doing.

We should not be surprised that the Republican House majorityโ€™s first action is to focus back on attacking trans people. Itโ€™s cruel, shameful and does nothing to address lowering costs for families.

Given the Trump nominees on the national security and intelligence fronts, the UK and European states are all scrambling to put safeguards in place to allow them to decouple from the United States.

Alliances that have lasted centuries are being destroyed.
