Nothing happening here, just #Trump trying to make the U.S. more like North Korea. https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-doj-antitrust-networks

"With companies like BYD and Volvo about to roll out their third generation electric trucks and the Tesla Semi allegedly in production after nearly a decade of waiting, it seems like American fleets are starting to understand what the rest of the world has already figured out: predictable fuel […]

This should be the lead story with a screaming headline on every news website: “Trump sides with Putin in Ukraine war.” “After a long, friendly chat during which Putin offered Trump a political lifeline, Trump called for Ukraine to surrender.”

A senator who voted to confirm #RFKJr still doesn't get it -- and #LukeRussert of #MSNOW rightly nails him.

Proud of my local dyke bar for taking a stand against transphobia

Edit. The additional context needed is Rikki’s is one of the home ground bars for watching and gathering with other dykes who are fans of the golden state Valkyries. There’s a wider struggle […]

[Original post on hachyderm.io]

Screenshot of a post by Rikki’s bar In SF where they said they had an incident with people coming to the bar wearing transphobic shirts looking for confrontation 

The post says we we want to make it clear that trans people belong at Rikki’s and trans people belong in sports

@kurtsh And run like hell in the opposite direction when the billiionaire in question is #ElonMusk!

Everyone knew #Musk used DOGE to defund depts that were regulating his businesses.

This shouldn't have to be explained. #Democrats need to learn that being a wimpy sellout is never a good look. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Remember how Trump signed the "Lindsey Graham Bone Crushing Sanctions from Hell Bill" on Russia a month ago? That was just a negotiation tactic from Trump to get a larger bribe from Putin.

@paulrosenberg.bsky.social Trump has no pals, just people he can use for a while.

Tyranny does not arrive as a stranger. It arrives sounding like you, dressed like you, swearing it is on your side. People will accept almost anything if it lets them feel chosen. That is the whole trick.

@nberlat.bsky.social Take it from a former longtime Californian: Newsom has always been an unprincipled fraud.

The #TrumpAdministration attempt to destroy #HeadStart mustn't get lost in the shuffle: https://www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_view/dont-let-federal-government-gut-head-start/article_b806e3e2-d500-4b87-ba20-ae606bb8a3a8.html

'The petition states that the Republican-controlled FCC’s decision—pushed by Chair Brendan Carr and approved in August in a 2-1 vote along party lines—was “plainly contrary to law and violates core administrative law principles.” The filing notes that Congress enacted the rule barring any single […]

@helenkennedy.com Trump is a buffoon. Unfortunately, a buffoon with nukes.

This is a disaster. The ethics committee in Denmark that approved the Guinea-Bissau study which will withhold the birth dose of HepB vaccine “had never considered medical studies before but it changed the rules in order to vote on this one”. Four members of the committee have resigned in protest.

Much as I prefer to avoid Facebook, this is a very good takedown of #RFKJr's latest lies about #vaccines.
