I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

The only way to find out how much cheap circus whiskey you can make at home before the authorities find out is to just go for it.
I believe in you.

There is a possible universe in which we are more f&%ked.

That's the most positive news I have for today.

Ahaahahahaha you bastards thought it was just going to be the transgenders going down YOU'RE ALL STUCK IN HERE WITH US MOTHERFUCKERS WE ALL GO DOWN TOGETHER

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

In case anyone who is non-Black is wondering, this sense of hopelessness with the law is an Ongoing African American Feeling™️

On this first day of Black History Month, unfortunately I have to introduce my White allies to this emotion. This is how Black folks have felt since the 16th century.

sucks that this is all happening in an era where we’re burdened with the knowledge that cigarettes are bad for you

the message from dems tonight is clear: you’re on your own.

Not only is Louisiana going after the doctor for prescribing abortion pills, but they’re also prosecuting the mother of the person who had the abortion. We’ve been clear that they have been and will continue prosecuting loved ones. They’ll criminalize anyone they can.

I wish I could say this surprised me… but after years of fighting to get healthcare workers to wear a mask during an airborne pandemic… I basically expect them to betray the patients.

I wish we lived in a better world. I’m still hoping we can create one. But we must protect the most vulnerable.

Proton Mail Says It’s “Politically Neutral” While Praising Republican Party The “privacy-first” company surprised its user base when CEO Andy Yen lauded Trump on social media.

“10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned,” Proton's CEO posted to X.

I hope the revolution is going to be easier than wearing a mask because that shit’s inconvenient af bro

If you can’t handle the social discomfort or personal inconvenience of wearing an n95 to protect disability communities, you won’t be able to handle the discomfort and risk of actual “resistance” work.

Expand your capacity for discomfort to expand your capacity to liberate.

And wear a damn mask:

Since the pandemic began, i've had to convince leftists that history is repeating itself.
I've been repeatedly told I am just fear mongering. Ppl who claim to love me tell me I am just "uneducated" or "too young to understand".
I've warned y'all for YEARS that this pandemic would lead to Nazism.

The one group this misses out (presumably because nobody realised till much later - the group that got hit first, in terms of death were the disabled and the mentally ill.

We were the guinea pigs for the gas.

Elon thinks the races shouldn’t mix? Well too late, bucko, I’m here

It's a weird feeling to think you overprepared for this and then realize you actually underprepared.

NEW: Trump's Acting EPA Administrator has fired members of two of the agency’s most influential science advisory panels, the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee and Science Advisory Board, and will look to install pro-industry insiders in their place.

Mayor Joseph M. Polisena Jr. Announces Taking of 31-Acre Low-Income Housing Site by Eminent Domain for Public Safety Complex Our police officers and firefighters have endured unsafe and inadequate working conditions for far too long. Firefighters are dealing with the absence of a fire alarm system, a leaking roof, a flooding dispatch room, and no female bathrooms or showers. Their living quarters are dangerously exposed to toxic fumes from the apparatus room, posing serious health and safety risks. Similarly, the police station faces numerous challenges: an outdated electrical system, no toilet in the locker room, no hot water, and working in closets rather than offices. Additionally, the basement floods during rain events, affecting the sally port, cell block, locker rooms, and electrical systems. Our town hall presents a problem as well. Constructed when just 9,000 people lived in Johnston, there is no handicapped accessibility, senior citizens struggle with the narrow stairs, there are holes in the roof, the HVAC system does not work, and there are now only 8 public parking spaces. Today, I am announcing my intent to take all 31 acres of land on George Waterman Road, the site of the proposed 252 low-income housing apartment complex, by eminent domain. In this location, the town will construct a public safety municipal complex consisting of a new fire headquarters, police station and municipal hall. The Johnston Town Council will hold a special meeting on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. at the Johnston Municipal Court to discuss and vote on Resolution 2025-10, authorizing the eminent domain taking of Assessor's Plat 37, Lot 193. Residents are encouraged to attend. To fund this project, we are going back to our original intention of renovating the high school with an emphasis on creating new career and technical trades programs. In saving tens of millions of dollars coupled with our $40 million cash reserves, we are using our financial prudence to continue …

My god. The Mayor of Johnston, RI just announced he's using eminent domain to seize 31 acres of land that was supposed to become affordable housing, and to build a "new public safety complex" –– sounds a lot like a cop city!

I hope the people of Johnston say no!

Hi all,

I am an independent media organization.

Take care of yourself.

Please share this as widely as possible.

Lots of people may not know that most federal grant dollars- even for research, fund salaries of people like project managers, community support specialists, finance teams, etc. Millions & millions of people across the country will be furloughed or fired. I have heard of one NGO that already closed.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

It would've been nice to see all of this outrage over public health last year when the CDC chose against recommending N95 masks in healthcare settings, or when major cities started banning masks, or when the NIH completely bungled Long Covid research funding.

Wonderful thread on the horrible news.

White House says Colombia agrees to take deported migrants after Trump tariff showdown The White House claimed victory in a showdown with Colombia over accepting flights of deported migrants from the U.S., hours after President Donald Trump threatened steep tariffs.

A lot of y'all lionizing the dude that folded in 12 hours. Bold statements are nothing more than words on a page and Petro's words are nothing more. Stop hanging your hope on politicians, you will be disappointed 100% of the time.

JD Vance spearheaded a federal ban on mask mandates.

He said it was “a massive victory for personal freedom in this country.”

So wear a mask because JD doesn’t want you to.

Wear a mask to make them harder to ban.

Wear a mask as a form of community care, solidarity and resistance.
