If you want an easy list for who to boycott and who to support, here's www.dei.watch

If they cut DEI then they bent the knee to Trump

Pay attention to the "funded" section as those are the companies that gave more to Trump than Kamala

Also fuck target, love Costco

Anthropic is getting exactly what it hoped for out of this press release - breathless coverage of how “smart” these cooperative role-playing systems are that indulges the fantasy of their being just a little dangerous, when in fact they are responding exactly as prompted

“While the test was fictional and highly contrived”

Nobody's ever really captured, to my satisfaction, the way that the internet -- though it promises infinitude, all of human experience & history & art & thought in one place -- has instead produced a kind of narrowing & flattening of experience, made the world seem *less* magic & full of wonder.

A new Florida law sharply limits citizen-led ballot initiatives, threatening fines and criminal charges for petition organizers. Advocates say it’s an effort to silence voters after progressive wins at the ballot box.

Remember before the election when Trump promised IVF would be free?

NBC News @nbcnews.com · May 23

After he took office, Trump signed an executive order in February asking for a list of policy recommendations “protecting IVF access and aggressively reducing out-of-pocket and health plan costs for IVF treatment.”

That 90-day deadline came and went Monday.

Advocates wait for the results of Trump's executive order on IVF policy

Trump called for recommendations three months ago after a big campaign promise to cover IVF costs. A deadline passed this week with no estimate of when findings will be released.

House Republicans smuggled this👇attack on the federal judiciary into their reconciliation bill. Courts rarely require plaintiffs to post security, so this provision, if passed into law, would render a vast number of existing judgments—including Boasberg's contempt order—effectively unenforceable.

SEC. 70302. RESTRICTION ON ENFORCEMENT.
20 No court of the United States may enforce a con21 tempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or
22 temporary restraining order if no security was given when
23 the injunction or order was issued pursuant to Federal
24 Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c), whether issued prior to, on,
25 or subsequent to the date of enactment of this section.

Yup. The three Dem vacancies really just meant 2 Republicans got a pass to not vote for the bill.

If there had been 215 Dems the final vote would’ve been 216 -215, 217-216 or 218-217.

It’s still horrible that they have those vacancies, of course.

Jason S @jasonswritings.bsky.social · May 22

Talking about how there were two votes missing when there were two people who didn't vote specifically for that reason who would have voted yes anyway is another way to get shitty clickbait resistrash accounts to get you to blame Democrats. Some of you fall will fall it anyway.

House Republicans passed a federal budget bill by a vote of 215 – 214 early Thursday morning that includes massive cuts for Medicare and Medicaid in order to extend tax breaks to billionaires. It now goes to the Senate.

Holy smokes you lot in the media are such assholes

MEDICAID CUTS "and changes"

Don't forget cuts to Medicare

You are doing us a disservice with this editorializing at the benefit of your overlords.

This is absolutely terrible news.

With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately.

Moderna withdraws application for COVID-flu combination vaccine

Moderna said on Wednesday it has withdrawn an application seeking approval for its flu and COVID combination vaccine candidate after discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

New: The crypto folks who bought the President's memecoin in order to attend his elite dinner tomorrow spent over $1 million each on average, and nearly $400 million in total. Per @molly.wiki, nearly 3/4 appear to be foreign nationals who'd be legally barred from donating cash to candidate Trump.

In total, the 220 winners of the contest to attend the dinner spent $394 million on Trump’s official cryptocurrency.

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.
