Wisconsin waiting on more than $100M in federal funds processed through online portals As of Wednesday, Wisconsin state agencies had received just about $1 million of the $128.7 million requested this week through online portals.

Trump's chaos and confusion shortchanged Wisconsinites by $100m in needed funds today alone. This isn't amateur hour. People's livelihoods are at stake. Trump MUST get these funds out the door immediately.

As the mask keeps coming off and things start feeling more dystopian, just remember that the oppressor thrives off of our cynicism and hopelessness. Surround yourself with people who not only still believe a better world is possible, but that are actively building one through intentional actions.

CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) has provided real-time data and analysis about disease outbreaks and emerging health threats without a break every week since 1960.

Until today.

Protect birthright citizenship President Trump is seeking to deny citizenship to countless children born in the U.S. Take action with the ACLU to fight back.

President Trump announced an executive order that attempts to deny citizenship for countless children born on U.S. soil.

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand.

Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”

REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

If you watch only one short video today, make it this one. Remarkable bravery, and the looks on the various faces could be material for a dissertation on gender, the family, and authoritarianism. youtu.be/gVInX42IQD8?...

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street

A fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fire

The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

Meta’s Fact-Checking Partners Say They Were ‘Blindsided’ by Decision to Axe Them Fact-checkers claim they had no idea the company was going to end their partnerships and are scrambling to figure out the financial implications of the move.

You don't do this. No ethical person does this to their vendors and partners. This is the hallmark of a crook. www.wired.com/story/metas-...

Jimmy Carter’s casket arrived earlier at the Capitol rotunda, where he will lie in state until Thursday. What a beautiful photo. Rest in peace, President Carter.

There is no better time than right now to abandon Twitter.

Make it useless. Worthless.

A talking head on MSNBC just called Mike Johnson "a likable guy." The media's willingness to normalize the abnormal is killing us.
Johnson is likable if you like pro-insurrection Christofascists who hate gay people, support a Muslim ban and want to rip away health care from millions of Americans.

Thank you! ❤️

I don’t know who made this but great job
