The New York Times covers trans issues the way Fox News covers ICE protests.

Both lead the country to believe there is a conflagration by highlighting a few fires over and over, while ignoring the fact that most people just want to live their lives without the government in their faces.

In the last interview of his life (1996), astronomer Carl Sagan gave an eerily prescient warning of the dangers that come when you cannot ask skeptical scientific questions of those in authority. Watch and ask yourself: was he right?

It was never about antisemitism From abducting college students to an attack on a Jewish governor, Trump’s real motivations remain clear.

As @marisakabas.bsky.social writes, Trump's attempts to "fight antisemitism" are really about using it as a pretext for censorship and thought policing www.thehandbasket.co/p/it-was-nev...

You've always been right about him

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest.

This Saturday, April 5th, we make history.
Over 1300 protests.
Coast to coast.
One message: #HandsOff our bodies, our rights, our jobs, our schools, our future.

We’re taking our country BACK.

Get loud.
Get in Good Trouble.
Be Sen Cory Booker.

America—you’re about to hear from us. 🔥✊🏽

I have designed a poster for the upcoming HANDS OFF! protests on Saturday, April 5th. If anyone wants a printable file of it, please message me : ) Find out more about the protests here: www.mobilize.us/handsoff/

Ask yourself:

Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this?

Why would any decent human being do this?

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

@aoc.bsky.social: "Tax cuts cost money. We have to pay for them. So every dollar that you spend in federal taxes is going to pay for some rich person's G-Wagon. And it's also going to cut an 8-year-old kid with autism's ability to access Medicaid. That's what they are putting on the table."

Ontario slaps 25% tax increase on electricity exports to US in response to Trump's trade war Ontario’s premier, the leader of Canada’s most populous province, is now charging 25% more for electricity shipped to 1.5 million Americans.

@aoc.bsky.social: "At the end of the day, who suffers? It's the librarian who had to quit his job to take care of his 16-year-old son with devastating medical disabilities. And now he might be on the street because they want to cut Medicaid to give even more tax cuts to folks like Bezos and Musk."

Everyone in California knew this. Anyone in the ACE who didn't should be fired.

“…if you really want to proceed to censure the gentleman from TX for talking about no mandate to cut Medicaid, then certainly we're going to have to move to censure the President for using a racial & ethnic slur against a sitting US Senator."
