More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and more deadly than left-wing violence − what the data shows

Donald Trump and top administration officials confidently assert that left-wing political violence is a huge problem in the US. They’re wrong, say researchers who study extremism.

People are really asking me why the mainstream news is barely reporting the closing of special ed dept at DoEd like all our big media companies aren't owned and run by absolute psychopaths.

The RIFs that began Friday will reportedly cut 65% of CISA’s 2,540 employees, one of the dumbest and most dangerous moves imaginable. CISA defends the nation’s cyber and critical infrastructure. Destroying it now only makes sense if you’re afraid of election integrity.

The Central Yukon Resource Management Plan has been rescinded.

“The Senate just plunged northern Alaska into chaos, ripping up a balanced land management plan that Alaskans spent years collaborating on,” said Cooper Freeman, our AK director. 🧵

That’s enough fentanyl to kill 2 million cops 5 times over

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 16d

We busted a major drug trafficking ring in Central New York.

17 individuals have been indicted, and we recovered over 23 pounds of fentanyl, 12 pounds of methamphetamine, and nearly four pounds of cocaine.

We'll continue to combat the opioid crisis and protect New Yorkers.

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law.

Not. One.

Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters.

Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

Trump is stripping federal workers of their bargaining rights. Unions won’t matter if courts allow that to stand.
