Rome is burning.
Billionaires are dancing on American backs.
Our children will never be able to afford apartments, much less homes, and definitely not land.
Farmers don’t own their own seeds.
Nobody owns their entertainment.

Let’s go 💜 and fix this.

I’m saying this in my capacity as an author and once and future library worker:
Read whatever the hell you want.
I cannot impress enough on you that the “important” books aren’t important if you don’t jive with them. The popular books, the canon, the whatever. Read what you want.

US Attorney for DC threatens prosecution against anyone unmasking "DOGE" employees in blatant violation of the First Amendment.
DOJ is now Musk's personal army he will use to target his critics with baseless criminal investigations.

Reminder that a study on lizard saliva eventually led to the development of Ozempic so be real wary of the criticism of studies and funding that sounds non-sensical when presented with no context.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Trump & his MAGA lapdogs in Congress are coming for the VA—if they pull it off, your healthcare is next. They want to hand everything over to insurance companies, where profits come first & people die waiting for care. Vulnerable seats or not, we need to shut this down!

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

With Bluesky now at over 30 MILLION users, I can’t understand why so many Democratic elected officials still aren’t posting on this platform. Is it ignorance, incompetence, laziness, or something else?
