I realize this is over Donald Trump's head, but killing foreign tourism will increase the trade deficit.

its a poll tax.
BREAKING: The House passed the SAVE Act, which requires Americans to show a passport or birth certificate to register to vote.

Over half of all Americans do not have a passport. Millions more do not have access to their birth certificate.

21 MILLION citizens will be impacted.

Damn this video is good. I understand the irony of posting about it on social media but it really made me realize "oh right, these norms around phones are invented, and we can change them!"

Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk.

OMG! What a victory for the creatives that put their heart and soul into this project. But let’s be clear: if studios are allowed to “write-off” a non-release then sell it, they shouldn’t be able to “write it off” in the first place.
‘COYOTE VS ACME’ has been officially saved by Ketchup Entertainment, who bought the film for $50M

They plan to give the film a worldwide theatrical release in 2026.

What if the secret to winning elections is somehow Trump's syntax. We need a guy to say stuff like "But we're going to abolish billionaires and we'll be doing it very soon. They'll be paying very high taxes but it'll be very fair. And frankly they haven't paid taxes in a very long time"

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

If you yell “stop!” at me at the beginning of a video I’m scrolling out of spite. And if it’s an ad, I’m gonna remember the product to make sure I never buy it. 😤

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Got a printer? You can start fighting fascism. Here's a thread of things you can print and distribute. 👇

I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.

AI probably uses em dashes because of all the books and professional level writing contained therein, so people who aren’t skilled writers are like “j’accuse!” — at the very people whose expertise was stolen in the first place
Just saw a post where someone said that use of em dashes (—) was a giveaway that you're using AI for writing. Uh, no. It could just mean you like to use em dashes.

It’s both an ethical and strategic error to shit on trans people (or any other minority) to “win over moderates” and I don’t know how the Democrats keep misdiagnosing this
the more democrats concede to the republican war on trans people, the more that signals to the public that trans people are a problem and should be stigmatized.

“Motherfuckers, that is the broader electorate.”
Democrats who want to move away from small dollar donors are actually Republicans and no, you cannot change my mind:

YOUR FAVORITE WEATHER APP IS JUST A PRETTY DISPLAY OF NOAA DATA

Ppl seem to think that "NOAA weather forecasts" means climate-, boat-, or "in addition to my app"-weather. But the weather forecasts *we all use* are made from the NOAA data *we all paid for*

Make that part clear when you ⬇️
I’m thinking we should spread this news about the firings at NOAA as far and wide as possible. Like cancer research, weather forecasting seems likely to be broadly popular across the political spectrum. apnews.com/article/nati...
Hundreds of weather forecasters fired in latest wave of DOGE cuts
Federal workers who were not let go said the afternoon layoffs included meteorologists who do crucial local forecasts in National Weather Service offices across the U.S.

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.
