Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

Funny thing: telling people to "keep politics out of it" is itself a political statement.

“We’re gonna vote you out” woman yells after Republican senator flees town hall because he was too spineless to answer questions about DOGE. 👀
NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

There goes the neighborhood.

NEPA basically just says you need to think about the environment before you do stuff, consider alternatives, and write it down. Ya know, the bare minimum of conscientiousness and good stewardship.

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

Sharing these numbers because I wasn't aware of them myself. In the US:

* 1 in 5 unvaccinated people who get measles are hospitalized

* 1 in 20 children with measles get pneumonia

* 1 to 3 in 1000 die

If you're not immune, close contact with an infected person gives you measles 90% of the time
Measles – NFID
Measles is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can result in severe, sometimes permanent, complications including pneumonia, seizures, brain damage, and even death

It's easy to feel powerless. It's how they want you to feel. But you're not. Below, we've got two actionable things you can do to make your feelings known to this administration, in the only terms they seem to understand: money.

But even if every federal worker were fired, it wouldn’t make a dent in the massive deficit increase Trump is proposing. The total federal employee payroll amounts to $271 billion—nowhere near enough to offset the trillions being added to the debt. So what’s the purpose here?

Remember when the U.S. helped rebuild Europe & condemned Russian attacks on European democracies, as opposed to encouraging such an attack & demanding the attacked democracy’s mineral wealth?

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

One simple way to resist fascism is satire, another equally important method is to read and circulate banned books— get to your local public library and check them out. 📚

DOGE: we're gonna save so much grant money just by changing the indirect rate

The grant writer I talked to last night: So he fired everyone who knew the difference between direct and indirect costs and also every auditor. Good luck with that.
