We are constant reminders that the land of the free begins with slavery
It tarnishes that perfectly constructed image of piety and bravery
To admit the wrongs of history, means admitting the lies of history
And they will never forgive us for unveiling the truth of that

HASSAN: Does the president know about your self-promoting videos using official HHS resources?
RFK Jr: I didn't know about a number of those videos. I just happened to not see them.
HASSAN: So you don't know how your own team is managing official resources?
The acting head of the CDC has canceled publication of a study showing the Covid vaccine sharply cut hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter.
the onion understands american politics like no other news org youtu.be/ZaZPiwxPqO4
The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper nearly loses his mind listening to MAGA defend Trump's Al Jesus pic and his war with the pope.
A huge problem in Bed-Stuy, where I live, is deed theft. A very organized and courageous group is bringing attention to this, but the battle is hard.
Last week, they arrested a victim of this, district leader candidate Carmella Charrington. This morning, they arrested our CITY COUNCIL MEMBER.
Good morning ☕
Margo Martin @MargoMartin47 X.com Congratulations, Georgia Women's Tennis! The photo shows Trump and five white dudes in red ties standing in front of and completely blocking 10 young women
Priceless post from the official White House social media
Co-sign. Fuck Tucker
I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals
A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.
The WH seeks to cut the #NIH budget. The number of competitive grants awarded has been reduced by half.
These include grants for cancer & Alzheimer's research. Early career scientists have been affected the most.
The number of grants mentioning "women" declined in 2025.

Someone on "The Sopranos" spitting Italian slang for "you fucking idiot" that I had to look up online.
The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.
Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.
Trump is really mad at the WSJ for pointing out that he’s getting rolled by Iran.
Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

A photo of AOC with a serious expression talking with RFK jr., the photo has a crude drawing of red lasers coming from her eyes.
It makes me like you even more.
Like Trump’s other spurious political proescutions, this is borrowing a page from his private sector penchant for litigation as a weapon to make the target’s life hell. He doesn’t have to win. He gets to publicly smear them & cost them a lot of money & stress even when they ultimately win.
RFK Jr. is testifying to a House committee.
Dem Rep. Diana DeGette tangling with him over cuts to family planning services.
"The secretary refuses to tell the American women whether he will let poor women used the contraception method of their choice."
"Let the record also reflect: It is 2026."
ELIZABETH WARREN: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?
KEVIN WARSH: Uhm, we try to keep politics if I'm confirmed out of the Federal Reserve
WARREN: I'm just asking a factual question
WARSH: I believe this body certified the election
WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking
For example, the landscape of Epstein Island
And .. here come the Freedom of Information Act requests for Kash Patel records
DC watchdog group Democracy Forward has formally requested Patel's calendars & any messages from security detail that include words "drinking", "hungover", "inebriated"

Is someone going to tell him that the flu killed more US troops in WWI than any battle did (and that war had chemical weapons so horrific that they were banned afterwards)?
everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"
Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
Endangered species act is a national security issue if our environment dies then our economy will die with it
Screenshot from Mastodon, white text on black background: Erik Uden @ErikUden@mastodon.de Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital "library". Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.
A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information
This is a snapshot of the failure of MSM and the concomitant ignorance within the American electorate about what is happening in and to their country.
