"They have taken the bridge and the Second Hall. We have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes... drums, drums in the deep. We cannot get out. The shadow moves in the dark. We cannot get out. They are coming."

“.. Yikes – @EliseStefanik literally got booed off the stage TWICE at an event in her district today.

She hasn't hosted a #NY21 town hall in years. Now we know why.”

President Stubb:

Some of the international media might wonder, "Why is the President of Finland here?" I think the reason is probably that we might come from a small country, but we have a long border with Russia, over 800 miles⤵️

The military needs to understand that if it goes along with Trump’s plans, it will lose the goodwill it has worked so hard to rebuild with the U.S. public since Vietnam.

Got this notice from X claiming that my screenshot of a paragraph of text published by the New York Times back in November 2024 "doesn't meet our platform's guidelines." I'm supposed to address this, but "simply removing the content will not resolve the issue." I could lose my account. See next: 1/2

Opinion | RFK Jr.: HHS Moves to Restore Public Trust in Vaccines We’re reconstituting an advisory committee to avoid conflicts of interest.

Exactly as I predicted months ago, RFK Jr. has purged ACIP, almost certainly as a prelude to stacking it with his preferred antivax quacks. www.wsj.com/opinion/rfk-...

Kennedy Removes All C.D.C. Vaccine Panel Experts

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Want to Help Fight ICE Raids? There’s a Map for That. This group has developed a new app to help keep everyone one step ahead of Donald Trump’s deportation schemes.

A centralized resistance effort: ResistMap helps keep everyone one step ahead of Donald Trump’s deportation schemes.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

Seattle crosswalk signals hacked to imitate Jeff Bezos’ voice South Lake Union pedestrians were surprised by a strange voice when they were waiting to cross Denny Way and Fairview Avenue on Wednesday morning.

In a small bit of… I can’t exactly call it good news, but a reminder that mischief is also a firm of resistance, the crosswalk bandits have struck in Seattle!

Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination.

He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.

Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin.

So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

But as I told Medscape this week:
“Even in modern times infectious disease can still take a deadly toll, and without vaccinations, those numbers would be far worse. It’s just not a risk worth taking. ‘Healthy people still die everyday from infectious diseases.’”

It is a massive TAX HIKE on the middle class and poor and sending it to the rich. Talk about blantant transfer of wealth @lizardrath.bsky.social

The most dangerous gang in America. DT-47.

Donors gave big to DeSantis’ marijuana campaign after getting $10M from Hope Florida Public records and documents released by the Hope Florida Foundation show how millions flowed from charity to big donors to the governor’s anti Amendment 3 campaign.

How is Ron DeSantis going to explain stealing $10 million in MEDICAID dollars with his wife and funneling it onto political campaigns?!?!?

I'm sure he's writing a personal check to Pam Bondi ask we speak.

Allison Lussier’s death was suspicious. Her family says Minneapolis police didn’t fully investigate. An abusive ex was immediately identified as a possible suspect. A year later, he’s never faced charges. Authorities believed evidence pointed to drug use instead.

Please read this article. This family has fought too long for this to go nowhere.

We are controlled by Russia. I don’t know how much more clear it has to be. I understand how hard it is to think that is actually true, because it is insane. But all of the evidence supports it.

Why people don't trust government

What the actual fuck:

There is absolutely zero interest in this regime in competence or integrity or genuine patriotism. The only thing that matters is loyalty to MAGA, and everything and everything else can be renditioned to Hell. /5
