Even more Trump chaos at the Social Security Administration…

Several field offices across the county are currently closed to the public. And many more are critically understaffed "ghost offices".

This is what mismanagement of our Social Security looks like – and beneficiaries are paying the price.

Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.

This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.

But he’s the one who is actually doing it.

"I think you're dangerous to the American public and you oughta be fired," Rep. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) tells RFK, condemning his "draconian cuts" to the CDC.

"And if you're not fired, you ought to have the decency to resign. You're way in over your head."

Here is how depraved, cynical, and mindless the republicants are: they tried to undermine the Endangered Species Act on Earth Day.

Amidst all the GOP whining tonight, a reminder that the Democrats would currently control the House were it not for the late, illegal GOP gerrymandering in GA & NC in 2024.

Keep at it Ukraine! It's incredibly touching how you are providing Russians with so many keepsake moments. Heart warming and oil burning all at once.

You listening, @governor.ny.gov? I'm one of your constituents, and I'm sick of the high price we pay for electricity. Fossil fuels are not the answer. Do right by the planet and the people of New York: turbocharge renewables while banning data centers.

General George Washington required Continental Army soldiers be inoculated for smallpox. We would not have won independence if he hadn’t.

Musk scorned “shady” loopholes, yet offshore tax tricks likely saved Tesla hundreds of millions When Tesla released its annual report for U.S. regulators in January, the Texas-based automaker, led by the world’s richest man, reported a federal tax bill of zero dollars for 2025.

After more than $250 billion in revenue and billions more in subsidies, Tesla has never paid taxes... that's thanks in part to tactics like pretending $18b in profits came from places like Singapore and the Netherlands

‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

“The US has provided no evidence that any of the vessels were involved in drug trafficking, and legal experts and rights groups say the attacks amount to extrajudicial killings as they apparently target civilians who do not pose any immediate threat.”

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

The Klan Act worked. Not only were there prosecutions but lawsuits as well, and the organization was crushed. Part of the tragedy of Reconstruction is that persistent racism & the decline of race as an issue of concern in the north led to the end of the "enforcement acts" & the re-rise of the Klan.

Damn right! Going back to fossil fuels is like going back to the 50s. We need energy sources and energy policies to match our times. Our electric bills this winter (in Rensselaer County) were INSANELY high. I don't know how others could afford them. Thank you @weact4ej.bsky.social!
