WTF?!? Elon Musk reposted this on X before quietly deleting it:

“Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

Lots of dish out there on Musk lately, but this particular graphic really struck me
Here's a graph of his net worth by year courtesy of Forbes.
One of the many people who profited off the pandemic...😡😡😡

My fellow Americans, we officially hit a new low today.

Thanks to felon Trump’s all out assault on democracy, we are now on a civil rights loss warning list with the Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan & Serbia.

Nonviolent civil resistance is a must!

This is absolutely terrifying...
They came to take a legal US resident with a green card from his college housing with no evidence of wrongdoing and have made him disappear. Neither his wife nor his lawyer know where he is...
What the actual $#!? 😡

ProPublica looked into science grants that Ted Cruz's team flagged as "radical" and "neo-Marxist" and, uh.

This would be good comedy if it didn't matter so much www.propublica.org/article/ted-...
"Developing a device that could treat severe bleeding. It seems to have caught the committee’s attention for using the words “victims” — as in gunshot victims — and “trauma.” Creating biosensors to detect infectious diseases. The grant appears to have been tagged for the repeated use of “POC,” an acronym often used for “people of color” but in this context meaning “point of care” — that is, the place where people receive medical treatment — and “barrier,” referring to a part of the biosensor itself. Designing eye-tracking technology for diagnosing and treating concussions. It appears to have gotten flagged for referencing “traumatic” brain injuries and the “status,” meaning the condition, of patients."

1. The Trump administration has crippled cancer and Alzheimer's research by imposing a freeze on all government credit cards at NIH.

An NIH source with direct knowledge tell Popular Information that scientific research has ground to halt because necessary supplies can no longer be purchased.

I gave it up long ago, but if you're still gettong music & podcasts on Spotify, or have a subscription, now is a good time to stop it.

Dear Spotify users,

Spotify platforms Joe Rogan, who repeatedly has on members of the oligarchy who are dead set on killing your livelihoods. Every month of your subscription money goes towards allowing these people to spread their hate and misinformation across the world.

Leave.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

We need to change our approach. This is a great framework
how we got here The Right Uses Messaging as a Weapon—We Must Fight Back For decades, Far Right Extremists have dominated the conversation. Progressives have passion, policies, and the numbers—but we’ve been playing defense for too long. The Problem: Far Right Extremists use simple, emotional messaging—division is the goal. They define the media narrative quickly, forcing us to be reactive. They invest in messaging infrastructure, from think tanks to social media influencers. The Lesson: The Extreme Right didn’t win overnight. They spent decades building think tanks, funding media, and training messengers to shape public opinion. It’s time we do the same. how we start Messaging That Wins— A Four-Step Plan CREATE Craft messaging that is simple, emotional, and engaging. No jargon. No policy-speak. If it can’t fit on a bumper sticker, it’s too complicated. EQUIP Equip activists, leaders, and influencers with strong messaging skills. Every progressive should be able to confidently communicate our ideas in a way that excites people. FRAME Set the narrative early—and stop waiting for fairness. Far Right Extremists create simple, emotional messages and repeat them relentlessly. We must define the real threats (TheHoarding Class, Extreme Christian Nationalists) first—using facts, but framing them in ways that resonate with real people. EXPOSE Shut down misinformation fast. Don’t repeat misinformation —provide facts from reputable sources that contradict viral misinformation. Messaging is power. Let’s use it.
