Montana is extremely lucky to have Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell standing up in front of openly transphobic lawmakers who wanted to pass a bill that would /take trans kids away from their parents./
Thank you to them, and to the Republicans who crossed the aisle. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

‘Stop these crazy bills’: Republicans join Democrats to defeat anti-trans legislation in Montana
One bill would remove trans children from their parents, and the other would ban drag shows and Pride marches

If you see anyone spreading the lie that Bill did a "Nazi Salute" (it's absolute b.s.--I was right there getting ready to speak after him), make sure to **report them** AND **block them**.
NO!!! Bill Nye is an AVID anti Trump guy! PLEASE watch the whole speech! He was throwing his hands all over the place. This is not a Nazi Salute!

This is all To pay for a tax cut for very wealthy people
Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.
That is beyond unacceptable.

We already don’t really have fully competitive elections, bc the VRA’s been gutted, voter suppression/suffrage restriction is rampant, etc. After the last 4 weeks, if you don’t think the rules will be rigged further by the far right authoritarian party & the 9 Wizards in Robes b/w now & 2026/8, 🤷♂️
The problem with that is we've had such systematic voter suppression & inequality in access to suffrage for so long that we were only really a democracy from 1965-2013. So when you add in the abuses of power/loyalists/etc., we're deteriorating from an already not-fully-democratic baseline.
The harder part is convincing people that in the US their democracy has been mostly dead for its entire history (h/t: @cwolbrecht.bsky.social)

Private companies that sell data that NOAA provides the public for free - as a public good/necessity - have been gunning for NOAA for decades.
The bloodbath at NOAA apparently included meteorologists with the National Weather Service; scientists inside what’s simply known as NOAA Research, or the office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) more formally; technicians that keep up the country’s weather instrumentation;
NOAA returns/produces so much more money to the American economy than it costs, no stories about any of this should allow them the absolutely bullshit "savings" framing

NEWS: The USAID official put on leave for disseminating two memos about Rubio's failure to push through life-saving foreign aid was in the process of writing a THIRD memo when fired. We obtained it. It's far more alarming than the first two.
