I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

As a candidate, Trump promised to end surprise medical billing. Just weeks into his second term, DOGE has slashed the federal office charged with implementing a bipartisan law cracking down on surprise medical bills. Yet another Trump lie.

Trump vowed to end surprise medical bills. The team working on that just got slashed

Trump's first round of staff cuts to federal agencies eliminated dozens of positions at the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, in charge of implementing the No Surprises Act.

Disgusted, disturbed and distraught to read about the silence from #UiT. When whistleblowers dare to come forward with names and faces, while tenured academics stay silent, something is fundamentally wrong. Freedom of speech matters most when it's hardest. www.nordnorskdebatt.no/ubehagelig-s...

It has been a week since I shared the story about Hansen. In that time, many women have come forward to thank me for standing up, sharing that they’ve been in similar positions. Their stories prove how widespread this issue is. This is why it’s so important to speak out. #UiT must learn and change.

The CDC and WHO report a 20% increase in measles cases last year, driven by decreases in vaccination. This equated to 107,500 DEATHS, mostly in young children. This, in a PREVENTABLE disease. Can only imagine what that number will be if we get rid of all mandates.
