I remembered the day when mRNA Covid vaccines came out. My Asian friends told me rich Asians basically flew to the US to just get vaccinated with the mRNA vaccines. Now we will remember the day when rich Americans fly elsewhere to get mRNA vaccines. How sad. #MAGA #fafo #IsAmericaGreatAgainYet?
Dr. Deb Houry (resigned from CDC yesterday) is giving live media interviews now outside the CDC. From what I can hear, she's speaking forcefully in favor of public health and against the nonsense the CDC is facing. Understand: She is a very cautious person. This means a lot! #USAnotRFK
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
Somebody has to say it and I’m glad that Governor Newsom is doing it. More should step up and do the same.

Greystar was using rent-setting algorithms from software company RealPage, the subject of a 2022 ProPublica investigation that showed the firm was helping landlords decide prices in a way that legal experts said could result in cartel-like behavior. By @heathervogell.bsky.social

Release the Epstein Files!
The Constitution protects your right to record law enforcement in public.

Love this and totally agree with Governor Newson. #MAGA You think you’re the only one who can play this game? WRONG. Let’s see who can play it better and California has the biggest economy in all of US states. Just saying. #fafo
Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.
FOX REPORTER: “The way it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, got his photo next to the president, then left.”
This hearing over Pam Bondi's executive order to take over the MPD is NOT going well for the government. I'm listening in on the public line, but you can follow along with @annabower.bsky.social
Of course, he had no choice because like his father he and his siblings are crooked, corrupt, unethical, and immoral. Simple as that. Like father, like sons. #fafo #epsteinfiles
Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring. And then that guy was "silenced" forever. And now we will just not talk about anything else until they... #ReleaseThe_EPSTEIN_Files
It turns out Wizard Kash’s “smoking gun” was not only ridiculously fake (as Durham concluded), it actually blew a massive hole in the Trump/Patel “Russia hoax” theory. ICYMI @cathyyoung63.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/how-kash-p...
#EpsteinFiles Today would have been Virginia Giuffre's Birthday... In her memory Let us all keep fighting #EpsteinFiles Her family wants you to know "She wanted the world to know what they've done to her and so many other survivors " "SHE fought till the last day." Please fight for her now
Another Epstein survivor, Annie Farmer, interviewed by CNN confirms that in addition to being convicted of sex trafficking young girls and women for Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, also participated in the abuse of minors
Trump is on another taxpayer-funded golf trip this morning
We have learned that one of the women taken on Alvarado and 8th is Sabrina Medina, a pregnant U.S. Citizen expecting twins from Huntington Park, whom Kristi Noem targeted and was present last month for a photo op.
Pritzker: Neither Texas nor the FBI at the federal level has the authority to arrest these Texas Democrats They’re welcome to visit to take in the great views and enjoy the incredible restaurants we have. But they won’t be taking anyone home with them, or out of the state.
Thank you, Texas Dems, for standing up for democracy. Playing fair has gotten Democrats nowhere against an administration that keeps rewriting the rules to stay in power and ignores the very people who elected them. “The threat of arrest is something that should be a red alarm for a lot of folks.”
Please. Chuck Todd, do you really think we the American people have short memories or suffer amnesia?

5 things Trump did this week: 1. Was caught cheating in golf 2. Threatened to arrest Obama 3. Called the Epstein files a “hoax” again 4. Upgraded child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security Texas prison 5. Went to his New Jersey golf club for the weekend
Family of Virginia Giuffre re: Ghislaine Maxwell prison transfer "It's w/ horror & outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex trafficker G. Maxwell has received.. Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children.. she should never be shown any leniency"

Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.

My God. This hit so hard. Because you know what they're going to choose. And it makes you feel like, as a species, we may be irredeemable. So many of us find just doing the basic decent thing an utter impossibility.
how much of the money from the ICE/tax cuts bill is just going to go to scammers, do you think? www.richmonder.org/this-tuckaho...
Some people don’t deserve to procreate and have children if this is all he can do to be a father figure. 🤷♀️ #whatanidiot I feel bad for the kid.
What a mess, Oklahoma. He’s cleared to screen porn in a public forum? It’s time to clean your house from fifth, Oklahoma. And I’m not talking about porn. #fafo #epsteinfiles #oklahomaporn
Mamdani: We are reminded no matter how strong our gun laws are in this state, we are only as safe as the weakest laws in this nation.
I remember when this happened.
Trump supporters Stephanie and Scott Soucek have deleted their social media accounts after news broke that Scott was arrested and charged with having over 300 images of child porn. Stephanie was a Trump delegate and is the Republican Party of Door County chair.
The US Department of Homeland Security put out this video today to show people the important work Kristi Noem is doing for us on her trip to Argentina and Chile with Corey Lewandowski.
Why am I not surprised ? #jesse🏳️🌈
Meanwhile in Tulsa…
Tonight, a horrific shooting in Midtown took the lives of 3 people, including an NYPD officer. My heart goes out to the victims, their families, and everyone impacted. As my office continues to monitor the situation, I want to thank our first responders for their bravery.
Kristi Noem down in Argentina on another taxpayer funded adventure with her “Chief of staff” and “special friend” Corey Lewandowski.
2 years after Epstein "stole" Virginia Giuffre away from him, Trump had this to say about his bff:
The statement opens a plethora of questions for which the American public and voters deserve to get truthful answers. #fafo #epsteinfiles
“He stole her” is very clearly language a predator uses when discussing what he deems his property.
Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together. Help keep it strong. Join our monthly donors today: n.pr/458sOhq
Don’t blame me for not wanting to be a teacher. Until a playing field is leveled, good talented Americans with devoted commitment to making other people’s lives better will always be abused. #mytwocents
Where is another FAILING former reality TV personality Sean Duffy on this? No where to be found? Or is his job as a US secretary of transportation another reality TV show for him? What an idiot. Media, find him. 💩 #fafo #IsAmericaGreatAgainYet? #epsteinfiles

Why is it not time to fight? Catch the spies. Expose them. Teach them lessons. Fight fire with fire. Brain storm. Build community of fighters. Don’t be afraid. People in academia aren’t stupid to figure out a way to win, right? #fafo

Right. A major Project 2025 goal is to destroy universities and chase out smart, talented people and replace them with mediocre conservatives. That's why Heritage, Vought, and the Project 2025 are coming after NIH too.
Ok for the love of God, those people who were named. Queen B. Oprah. Reverend Al. Would you come out, be brave, and say something to show that you stand up for integrity of our nation. 🇺🇸

Great point!
Full-blown authoritarian regime. But #WhatAreWeGoingToDoAboutIt?
Wow. I’d say that’s a good deal.
Well, this is interesting….
I’m trying to be hopeful. 😉
Thanks for sharing your insight. Please just know that your fellow Americans in cities like Los Angeles and New York are rooting for you. The good people of Oklahoma can make us Americans proud some day. Hopefully sooner than later. 🤞😊
We all know he is a disgrace to the Christian community.
I hope the good people of Oklahoma relentlessly demand an ultimate answer from this investigation and will not rest until all evidence is presented to the public’s satisfaction. Accountability must be honored.

This makes Watergate look like a family picnic.. The most blatant, most obvious and most extensive cover-up of sex trafficking and pedophilia in history.. Right in front of your face in broad daylight..

@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "Once a subpoena is out, we want to receive the [Epstein] files, videos, documents, all within 30 days. So we expect, hopefully, Chairman Comer to accept those terms... It's important that he knows that the American public is carefully watching his actions."
America is not letting this go. Child predators need to be exposed!

Scientists are driving around in white Chevys, releasing thousands of specially engineered mosquitoes from tubes — part of a pioneering project to reduce the spread of dengue, a terrible disease.

As cowards at CBS and Columbia capitulate to Trump, this is the critical moment to build the opposition we need to fight back. It’s vital that we recruit, train and mobilize a critical mass of people now before Trump’s authoritarian regime fully consolidates power: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

#MAGAs Not only are you losing healthcare, especially in remote areas, through the stupid ugly bill, but you will also lose a bunch of competent healthcare professionals, including those in high-demand specialty, in the near future with this exodus. #fafo
I was at a birthday party last night where most of the guests were MDs and PhDs. Guess what the highlighted topic of the night was. … How they can relocate and get a job in another country like Canada and European countries. Great job #MAGA. #fafo #IsAmericaGreatAgainYet?
Not the article. But you never know what could happen next in terms of destroying science in America by this administration.
I was about to respond with “Now, let’s see what the anti-science will have to say”. 😂 Thanks for sharing the original article and summarizing the bad “species”.
