It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

Among the states are South Carolina (yes, a reversal of their current school book ban legislation!), Rhode Island, Arkansas, Tennessee, and many more. If you have been calling when you're opposing a bill, here's an opportunity to call in support.

John Lewis would’ve turned 85 today. I hold so much love and gratitude for his friendship, collaboration, and stubbornness. Today Dem lawmakers might pay tribute to him— I encourage you to question whether they are guided by the concepts of “necessary trouble” and “finding a way to get in the way.”

My cartoon for today’s @guardian books.

Image:
A mother, daughter and young son queue up to borrow books they have chosen from the well-stocked shelves. The figure at the desk gesticulates wildly while saying:
"Wake up, people!! The state is lending you these books to blunt your natural acquisitive urges and keep you compliant!"

Caption:
Due to a typo in the job listing, the vacancy at the public library was filled by a libertarian.

Look up how much NIH helps research in your state. Then call your reps and ask them how your state will function without the [$X billion] your state is about to lose. ☎️ and scripts 👉 bsky.app/profile/pron...

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

Tweet from Scott Jennings, saying "um, yes, that's really a problem," with a quoted image saying "The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality right-wing content. That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well. In essence, people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly aren't usually on our side."

This is HUGE. We should be hearing an urgent alarm on every network from the Ranking Democrat on the Oversight Committee, Rep. Gerry Connelly. Or just let @aoc.bsky.social do it. But DO IT!

A married woman who has changed her last name cannot supply a birth certificate that matches her current name. This is how they plan to disenfranchise women. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens

The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.

Just learned from NPR that the federal government is the largest employer in the great Kansas City area, for example. I found it helpful to be reminded that, of course, this isn’t just about people who work and live in DC. Federal employees are in all of our communities.

Purging dissent in the security services and giving loyalists power is something we *instantly* recognize in other contexts.
