100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Trump and the GOP are gutting the FEC — which enforces campaign finance and anti-corruption laws.
See how this works?

Your occasional reminder, if you needed one, that RFK Jr can fuck himself gently with a cetacean-laden chainsaw
RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one.
Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

As someone on the spectrum, thank you @warren.senate.gov
I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.
It’s disgusting and dangerous.
If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.
Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.
To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

The painted #bat, known for its vibrant and unique markings, is a nocturnal creature found in Southeast Asia. Its colorful appearance, especially around the face and wings, helps it stand out among other bat species. These bats play a vital role in controlling insect populations

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?
No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.
Fascism is here.

Eugenicists are so stupid.
The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has repeatedly claimed: “If you’re healthy, it’s almost impossible to die from an infectious disease in modern times.”
That is dangerously false.

Under Trump, ICE has become a weapon. Protesters are arrested. Immigrants are disappeared. Kilmar wasn't a threat, he was a legal resident who fit a profile. Mahmoud wasn't silenced for violence-he was targeted. This is an American Gestapo. (1/3) #FreeKilmar #DefendDueProcess #BringThemBack
