Is the Trump admin lying about hiring enough Forest Service firefighters this summer? #ProPublica reported more than 4,500 jobs remain vacant as of July 17.
The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

All the government’s data about everyone all in one interoperable system run by a private company. What could go wrong? www.wired.com/story/palant...
Trump's relentless campaign of fear and intimidation has led to a rapid retreat among hospitals previously offering gender affirming care to adolescents. For @opinion.bloomberg.com , I wrote about the cruelty of the current moment-and why it matters for access to other types of health care. (🎁 link)

"The administration continues to erode confidence in childhood vaccination designed to keep kids safe and healthy. The AAP will continue to ensure that parents and pediatricians have access to accurate information around essential vaccinations that protect children from preventable diseases."
Trump’s big bill slashes billions for #solar and #windenergy projects and taxes some materials for new projects. #Polis said it’s a “new job killer”- “bad on so many levels.” Rep. #LaurenBoebert said solar and wind incentives are a “terrible scam.” She’s risking 8,000 CO jobs on this belief. Why?

I wrote this piece 👇 in 2020. Even MORE relevant now. For far too long we normalized – or laughed off ("haha, jade vagina eggs!?") – health bunk. This helped to facilitate the descending Dark Age 2.0. Speak up! 💪 Pseudoscience – enough already www.nature.com/articles/d41...
#ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. #DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. #Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. #PamBondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it. #FuckTrump #Resist #Felon47
This is excellent. In three minutes she explains how democracies become dictatorships. It's happened so many times, yet in each country, most people said, 'it can't happen here'

All the talk of not missing a weather balloon deployment seem to make it sound like all was fine, but I heard reports of specific, critical positions that were cut that were specialized in the emergency alerts piece, which was of the utmost importance given how fast the flooding occurred
remember that time San Diego accidentally detonated all of its hour long fireworks show in a single blast in 2012?
If you think ICE is bad now, just wait till they hire 10,000 more agents and open more concentration camps.
These are good tips even if you aren’t communicating with journalists
Happy Juneteenth from IndivisibleNOCO! If you’re looking for a fun way to celebrate, the NoCo Black Professionals Network is hosting the 4th Annual FoCo Juneteenth Celebration from June 20 to 21 zurl.co/FE1ZF
Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.
@govofco.bsky.social what are you going to do to protect Coloradans from being kidnapped by ICE??
BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.
Bodies in motion will stay in motion. So, let’s keep this momentum going as we head into Monday. Congress is back in session on Monday and there’s still a lot of work to do to defeat the Big Ugly Bill and whatever spending bill spawns pop up. Stay informed and plan to take action. #Resist #AltGov
What a crowd!! It’s great to see so many people showing up!
@kylec.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com small towns in Colorado showed UP for yesterday’s #nokings protests! Approx. 12,000 people in Loveland and Fort Collins, plus more across Windsor, Berthoud, Littleton, Longmont, and more!
We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.
@maddow.msnbc.com @kylec.bsky.social almost 6% of the Fort Collins, CO community showed up to protest for No Kings today!
To everyone who showed up in Fort Collins — all 10,000+ of you —THANK YOU! Today is what #democracy looks like: #nokings, just nationwide action.
They just kept coming! Fort Collins, #Colorado says absolutely #NoKings
I want to be clear: I cannot get enough of this content. My appetite for this public humiliaition is insatiable. My schadenfreude tank is unfillable. I want more- always more.
We can dig it: @maddow.msnbc.com calling bullshit on RFK's #HHS brand of #BadScience "RFK sent Congress 'medical disinformation' to defend COVID vaccine schedule change." zurl.co/ExfkO Dont let these bastards win. Stand up, fight back, save science w/ us here zurl.co/Igsss #StandUpForScience
Taking 👏 action 👏 will 👏 make 👏 you 👏 feel 👏 better 👏 Thanks for your words of wisdom @philplait.bsky.social
To my US followers and friends. Be safe. Be loud. Be nonviolent. Be resilient. And don’t make this a one-off until the would-be king backs down. Hydrate and take care of each other. Don’t give Fox any video to exploit- give them video to bury. #nokingsday #uspoli #cdnpoli
They have inferior (or no) training, a chip on their shoulders, impunity to behave their worst, and either spoken or unspoken directive to manufacture the pretext so they stay indefinitely.
Research shows we just need 3.5% (or 11M) people to show up to drive real political change. Grab a friend, make some noise, and be on the right side of history!
Tear gas can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses, including COVID. The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods. What you need to know (published 2020):
DISRUPTION IS NOT VIOLENCE. Pass it on.
This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...
It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.
How extreme is the June 7 Memorandum on federalizing the National Guard? One of several issues: It has NO geographic limit. None. No mention of California or any other state. It's open-ended. Now this from President Trump: "Well, we're going to have troops everywhere."⬇️
It's frustrating because there were real mistakes during the pandemic! But you're not allowed to have adult conversations led by scientists in this country. You need to start with the premise that "extremists on both sides got things wrong" and work backwards.
If you’ve ever wondered what you would have done during the Holocaust, it’s whatever you are doing right now.
If anyone thinks they are doing this quietly, they are male. The women see it plain as day.
According to the job description for members of congress provided by the Congressional Management Foundation, "Members must research and analyze all proposed congressional actions through the lens of the likely impact on their constituents.” So you’re admitting you didn’t do your job, Majorie?
This isn’t a party issue - it’s the top 1% stealing from the working class by taking away the benefits we all pay taxes for so they can get tax breaks
every single republican complaining about the budget bill would vote for it again tomorrow and criticize anyone who didnt
Here’s what will happen to our National Parks if Trump’s budget passes. Did you know America’s national parks actually generate more income than they cost to operate? Yet under Trump’s proposed 2026 budget, the National Park Service (NPS) would face devastating cuts:

It’s now Marxist to understand that the Constitution only authorizes Congress to impose tariffs.
A vote for the big ugly Republican bill is a vote to close hospitals around the country.
THIS!!
WATCH THIS. He gets it right Nottoway Plantation: the so-called “White Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality. We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.
It would be such a shame if he accidentally swallowed some of that water
Is this what he meant by bing a “master negotiator”?

No. The seemingly unobjectionable wellness woo is—has always been—a Trojan horse for the murderous antivax and eugenics stuff. They're inextricable from each other. You don't get one without the other. This to-be-sure is a trap they set. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
“Wellness influencer” also sounds way tamer. Grifter who dropped out of her ENT residency and started selling continuous glucose monitors and other “treatments” to people who don’t need them is more accurate
Please take note, everyone. WE SHOULDNT EVEN BE HAVING TO DISCUSS THE TREATMENT OD MEASLES. BRCAUSE MEASLES WAS GONE. AND NOW IT’S BACK.
“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic
He also called attention to highly problematic billing practices before the No Surprises Act was passed. But he’s undone any past good deeds tenfold at this point
I'm gonna just do a super quick side bar re: having fun. Fun is rebellion. It's serotonin. It makes you want to BE. If you don't have fun EVER, you have ceded territory to the assholes who want us to suffer. You can be serious as a heart attack AND laugh deeply. Radical Joy Always.

Let's elevate the fighters: Van Hollen for risking his life to find Abrego Garcia in El Salvador Booker for his 25 hr speech to expose on Trump & Musk's corruption Schatz for blocking 300 Trump nominees Bernie & AOC for rallying hundreds of thousands of Americans Newsom for suing Trump over tariffs
Just a reminder that Trump/DOJ continuing to let Abrego Garcia sit in CECOT is *a crime*. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Was it an "error" at first? Maybe. But once they were aware of the error, and ordered by a judge to return him, and then refusing, it's willful 1/
"Instead, the flight served as a kind of perverse funeral for the America that once enabled both scientific advancement and feminist progress." Acurate.
He’s alive!!! Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov for fighting for Abrego Garcia
Kennedy said, “We’re going to find out what contribution vaccines…all of these other exposures [that] began in the late 1980s — which one of those are the culprits? I suspect we’re going to see that there’s a lot of culprits, but we need to know.” This is the opposite of science. This is pure bias.
Kilmar Garcia was in the U.S. legally. He entered as a minor and had legal protection under “withholding of removal” granted by a judge in 2019, meaning deportation was prohibited by law. ICE removed him anyway, and the Supreme Court ruled it was illegal. Facts matter more than slogans.
The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.
This wasn’t available for me to download in the US, but I found an app called Origin Scanner that sounded similar apps.apple.com/us/app/origi...
"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Fluoridated water at 0.7 ppm (parts per million) is NOT neurotoxic. It DOES improve dental health & overall health. Lead IS neurotoxic at a dose of 0.05 ppm in kids. Good thing RFK Jr cut the CDC lead poisoning prevention team & wants to ban fluoride. We are gonna be so much healthier, right? 🙄
You don’t get to be HHS Sec unless the Senate allows it. I will never understand why we just rolled over and let Rs install all these comic villains.
Senators can stop this - call with @5calls.org, email with @resist.bot, or show up to their offices and let them know we don’t want this!
Have you sent a letter today to your congressman? This is a great one. If they can deny the immigrants due process, they can and will do it to you...eventually. We are only a few months into the regime. I can't imagine it being worse. Send it.
Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

It's not just about what Trump is doing to us. It's what House and Senate Republicans are *letting* Trump do to us. They could stop this insanity *today* by voting to take the tariff power away from Trump. But they choose not to. That makes them *equally* responsible. apnews.com/article/trum...

They are scared and I’m here for it!
Not all “Hands Off” events were in-person. I attended two virtual events centering chronically ill and disabled people for @motherjones.com, who are terrified about attacks to Medicaid, Section 504, research funding, education and more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
That’s based on local laws and ordinances. Not everywhere bans it, so Indivisible and co want to make sure you have a safe and peaceful protest
