Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Funding cuts to PBS and NPR, attempts to stop the Wall Street Journal from publishing, Colbert canceled.

Do not take a free press for granted. We need to fight for it.

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.

Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.

But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?

No.

Screenshot of a list of the 27 specific grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 16 of them in whole or in part, highlighted in yellow and listed below: "1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. 3. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither [Partial] 4. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. 5. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 6. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 7. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 8. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 9. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: 10. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: 11. For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: 12. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: 13. [Partial], abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: 14. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. 15. [Partial], and destroyed the lives of our people. 16. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us [Partial]"

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump has committed at least 16 of those same offenses.

#NoKings

I can’t edit the spread sheet to add this - but our newspaper estimated 400 people at the Olean, NY No Kings event.

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO?

When right wing media keeps calling Dems the enemy this is bound to happen.
Senseless tragedy in a broken country

This is why we crush fascists

I feel so many things, but mostly, I feel just an absolute wave of sadness for the evil that is taking over this country.

Missing from Trump’s Truth Social account so far today: A single word about the dual shootings of Minnesota Democratic legislators.

Same goes for the official DHS and Noem accounts

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

Martin Luther King Jr. was labeled radical by the white establishment. The FBI spied on him, trying to take him down.

He still chose nonviolence. Peaceful protest was his power—even when they called him dangerous.

“Radical” doesn’t mean you’re wrong… it means you’re getting close to the truth.

Today is flag day. Here is Trump violating the flag code by signing his name on it.

Hard to believe they’re talking about the same event.

It’s hard to put into words just how comprehensively this bill is going to hurt public colleges and universities in Texas—especially UT.

USDA rolls back plans to limit salmonella levels in raw chicken, turkey The agency said the Biden-era proposal would have been a burden on businesses. Food-safety experts criticized the decision as an unwillingness to protect the public.

They'd sooner kill us than spend a penny.

4 Injured in Dallas School Shooting, Authorities Say Three students were wounded by gunfire and a fourth also was injured when gunfire erupted at Wilmer-Hutchins High School on Tuesday afternoon, officials said.

Three students were wounded in a shooting on Tuesday at a Dallas high school where, almost exactly a year ago, a student was shot in the leg by a classmate, the authorities said.

“McDonalds workers in Denmark make more than Honda workers in Alabama” is such a key point. It’s the institutions, stupid.

House Speaker Johnson is eyeing big cuts to Medicaid. In his Louisiana district, it's a lifeline. Nearly 40% of the people in House Speaker Mike Johnson's district in Louisiana rely on Medicaid.

www.cbsnews.com/news/house-s...

38% of people living in Mike Johnson's district were enrolled in Medicaid last year.

Yet Johnson is pushing for devastating cuts to Medicaid — all to pay for tax cuts that will predominantly go to the rich.

Is there a better encapsulation of the Republican Party?

Loathe thy neighbor: Elon Musk and the Christian right are waging war on empathy Trump’s actions are irreconcilable with Christian compassion. But an unholy alliance seeks to cast empathy as a parasitic plague

"We are witnessing the construction of the ideological architecture to excuse violence and suffering on a mass scale. While the religious right attends to a moral justification, the secular right is hard at work on a pseudoscientific one"

Lawyers have ethical obligations to courts regardless of what their bosses say. If a government lawyer is asked to violate their oath, they should resign. There is no excuse for caving to Trump.

absolutely shocked that a man who made things up on television is continuing to do so in public office

DOGE to Shutter DOJ Tax Division I didn’t know this until this morning. And I’m surprised it hasn’t...

According to IRS estimates, the internal sabotage by DOGE has already cost the U.S. Treasury more than $500 billion in revenues that otherwise would have been raised by April 15th. But it doesn’t stop there. DOGE is also in the process of closing down the Tax Division at the Department of Justice.
