I recall inflation over 2% being the most important issue in American history, but now that consumers expect 4.3% inflation over the next year (highest since Nov 2023) and the bond market expects 2.57% inflation over 5 years (highest since Mar 2023), it's no biggie.

Support local libraries. We’re witnessing censorship on a massive scale. Digital scrubbing is modern day equivalent of book burning
Our ability to get accurate info about public health, science, history, LGBTQ & marginalized groups is under threat
Libraries will be critical part of the resistance

My grandfather, a son of prohibition alcohol-selling parents, and a WW2 veteran on the ground after Germany surrendered, with horrendous PTSD from that — would be ROLLING in his grave over the shit we’re pulling. Did everyone forget that we literally had a war ACROSS CONTINENTS to stop nazis?? No??

It’s disgusting that this country + admin say everyone has to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get their education to get a job. So you do that and sink money in and have a plan to pay back your loans all for some fascists to come in and ruin the entire thing in 10 days.

The fucking 11th hour but thanks I suppose for finally listening?
I have met with most of the cabinet nominees and have carefully watched their confirmation hearings.
After considering what’s at stake, I have voted against moving forward to the confirmation of Ms. Gabbard and Mr. Kennedy, and will be voting NO on their confirmations.

No, Mr. Kennedy. We don’t oppose you for partisan reasons. We oppose you because you are anti-vaxxer.

I said it on threads and I will say it here: nominating RFK Jr is a disaster waiting to happen. He doesn’t believe in medicine, science, or vaccines. SO @johnfetterman.com why are you on the fence about voting him in? I’d love to know the qualifications!

If you're with ICE or any other authority targeting innocent migrants, don't expect cooperation from me. Your failure is a blessing for humanity. I hope your job is soul-draining. I am actively rooting for your anxiety and frustration. I would rather gargle broken glass than make your life easier.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The Trump admin has cancelled the panels that approve NIH grants, & is also banning scientists from communicating with the public, attending conferences, and hiring.
NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research in the world. This will severely halt the development of many lifesaving treatments.

Pick your focus and stick with it. We cannot fight in all fronts or we will become overwhelmed. But we can all peel off a corner in our area of expertise and begin to reveal effective strategies for resisting the chaos. Every single one of us has something to offer.

Today I counted more than 50 subreddits that went through with banning links from X, reaching more than 40 million combined members. At least 20 million of those members were encouraged to join Bluesky, instead.

More than 50 Reddit communities ban X links to protest Musk
The cascade of link bans came after Musk made a hand gesture at a Monday rally that many compared to a Nazi salute, which many cited in their protests, among other things.

And dismantling the entirety of FDA + CDC and more importantly public health notifications? Sure as EFF won’t help.
Egg prices are up 37% and rising.
It’s day 4.
