* Number of additional unemployed Americans since January: 982,000.

* Number of federal government job losses: 271,000. 🤡
Trump: "The only reason our unemployment tucked up and went up to 4.5 percent [it's actually 4.6 percent] is because we are reducing the government workforce by numbers that have never been seen before."

Dear @microsoft.com Outlook: under no circumstance will I ever want to upload a document to OneDrive when I attach it to an email. The last thing I or anyone else wants is for their documents to be less secure and more of a hassle for the recipient.

Well, after eight years of research, writing and revision, I just sent the full manuscript for THE DIVISION: JOHN DOAR, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT to my publisher.

This is happening, people. Whether you want it or not.

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

Here we are again.

We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war.

Travel bans don’t make us safer.
They make us smaller, crueler, and less free.

Trump’s expansion is fear-based, discriminatory, and wrong.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Deeply disappointed to hear that the BBC has pushed out one of the most brilliant presenters in all of science communication for speaking with integrity and honor in support of human rights and dignity.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.

The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.

They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.

Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air

Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

White House argues ASL interpretation at press briefings would "intrude on the President's prerogative to control his image." Translation: deaf Americans don't deserve equal access because accommodating disabilities damages Trump's brand. This isn't policy it's eugenics with a PR team.

must suck for a white supremacist swine when white people from extremely white countries don’t want to be come to the shithole he’s making of his country because among other things they have democracy with sane leaders and health care
TRUMP: “I said why is it we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia— places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting.”

Such a mystery what he means when he says this stuff, isn’t it?
