Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

wizard frog is insane

Reuters gathered an expansive set of arrest records in D.C. since Trump's show of force began. The number of arrests -- a key measure of law enforcement activity, not necessarily of crime -- barely changed.

Don’t let this die. Keep elevating this.

Remember these statements when they're up for re-election.

If you happen to be an Instagram user, I’m like 30 followers away from 20k over there, and like, I know it’s stupid to care but
1) Instagram was a good backup when twitter collapsed and having lifeboats is nice 🥰
2) I want to hit 20k so I can stop checking lol

REP. @rokhanna.bsky.social calls out @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty @RepTimBurchett @RepOgles and the rest of the GOP for ever having pretended to care about the debt.

I doubt these are FEMA disaster funds, just money
being passed through FEMA, which has the systems in place to get funds to the states quickly - when they want to. There are plenty of other reasons to hate this mess. The macho BS from desantis about it is just gross.

They haven't tried doing all of it in one bill before, so that's new.

Every single word spent dishonestly attacking Zohran is a word not spent attacking Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, which Republicans are trying to pass as we speak.

Jeffries is failing to meet the moment.

It also effectively strips many people of health care in places, mostly rural and/or low income, where private providers simply do not exist.

Update: they have added 6 more copies!

And then this shit just came out.

When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.

When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, has helped save an estimated 18.8 million lives since its inception in 2000 through its immunization programs in low-income countries

And yet today RFK Jr. announced he is pulling US funding of the program.

RFK Jr. is no longer just a threat to public health in the USA.

"What can I even say without having to go to jail?" The end of Roe has hamstrung advocates for pregnant victims of domestic and sexual violence.

In the face of near-total abortion bans around the country, advocates for pregnant victims of domestic and sexual violence have been hamstrung.

“We’ve had patients come in saying that [their abusers] just keep the patient pregnant so they can’t leave.”

Perfectly explained, impeccably executed, hilariously animated

Great book!

My library has ONE digital copy, with 49 people (now 50 including me!) on the several months long wait list. My Florida county library system seems to have vastly underestimated the demand!

this is why they didn't want to let him out. they don't want anyone to be able to report on what they're doing.

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.”

ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal.

Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

“The largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history.”

She is right. The Trump admin is literally doing this. They terminated humanitarian parole for hundreds of thousands of people who came here LEGALLY through a government program, and they are calling all those people "illegal aliens."

The Department of Energy is quietly slashing disability rights "If we don't put a line in the sand here, other agencies will try and do the same.”

Use intentional words. No more fluff in speech. Call a spade a spade. Thank you @repyassansari.bsky.social

This is so smarmily disingenuous. We’re not talking about, like, some conscript kids who later went on to be honored for their contributions to science or literature. We’re talking about men who chose to LEAD an armed struggle for slavery, and are remembered & honored today for that very reason.
