this is why there's like only four printer companies in the U.S. and why your color printer won't print a b&w image when yellow ink is low.

This has been around for decades but it is ALWAYS the right time to share this information.

America's fentanyl problem exploded while Donald Trump was in office.

After Joe Biden's last four years overdose deaths are FINALLY dropping.

Now, Trump wants to explode the problem by taxing the everlasting shit out of Americans and unleashing job killing inflation.

People better blame Trump.

@aoc.bsky.social: "Listen, if your representative is not doing a town hall, give me a ring... I'll say it right here, right now: if a deep red Republican district wants to have an honest conversation, even if it's with someone they disagree with, I'm willing to do that."

NBC: The Trump administration may start sharing confidential data with Russia. This is what US allies fear.

May start?

Oh FFS. Vaccines have NOTHING to do with autism. INSAR, the International Meeting for Autism Research, had zero papers/presentations on this fabricated link BY 2015. What a waste of effort and funding, what an insult to autistic people themselves, who are simply humans—neither damaged, nor diseased.

Never underestimate the power of wearing a mask. It’s a simple and safe act of compassion, resistance & self care

Sick of being sick? Wear a mask.

Want to keep a vulnerable loved one safe? Wear a mask.

Want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask.

Want to fight fascism? Wear a mask.

DOGE Is the Deep State A shadowy group of unelected figures reshaping the federal government to their own benefit from the inside? Sounds familiar!

After years of alarm over unelected bureaucrats pulling the strings, what better example can you find than this moment the US government is in? DOGE is the thing it claims to fear the most. Elon Musk is the problem he purportedly wants to solve.

Doge *is* the Deep State. @brbarrett.bsky.social:

Social Security Workers Aren’t Allowed to Read This Story New internet restrictions at the embattled SSA have cut off access to WIRED, along with other “general news” websites like The Washington Post and The New York Times.

NEW: WIRED got IP blocked by the Social Security Administration, among other outlets covering Musk's takeover.

Federal workers are now "prohibited" from accessing our reporting on "government-furnished equipment."

WaPo, NYT, and MSNBC are likewise banned, sources confirm.

One thing that’s become absolutely clear:

The Trump administration isn’t isolationist. It meddles on behalf of authoritarians all over the world.

Or to put it another way:

The Trump administration isn’t America First. It’s Authoritarianism First.

The right’s decade-long lurch toward Vladimir Putin’s Russia President Donald Trump’s actions over the past few weeks have drawn cheers from Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government — and with good reason. Trump falsely blamed Ukraine for the war that bega...

Last year, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) — the former GOP chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee — told a reporter that because of right-wing media, Russian propaganda had “infected a good chunk of my party’s base.”

Exclusive: Judges face rise in threats as Musk blasts them over rulings U.S. Marshals have warned federal judges of unusually high threat levels as tech billionaire Elon Musk and other Trump administration allies ramp up efforts to discredit judges who stand in the way of White House efforts to slash federal jobs and programs, said several judges with knowledge of the warnings.

"several federal judges in the Washington D.C. area had received pizzas sent anonymously to their homes, which is being interpreted by law enforcement as a form of intimidation meant to convey that a target’s address is known."

Trump’s Whisper from Moscow: Coincidence or Destiny? Why does a president who seems to have no firm convictions and whose opinions are so maddeningly unpredictable nonetheless maintain such a positive stance toward Russia?

If we are going to be tied to Russia, at least Trump should tell us why.

Trump is the kinglike president many feared when arguing over the US Constitution in 1789 – and his address to Congress showed it When the US Constitution was written, many people − from those who wrote the document to those on the outside who read it − believed that endowing the president with kinglike powers was dangerous.

BREAKING - Trump LOSES at Supreme Court

SCOTUS denied Trump attempt to freeze USAID life-saving funding, upholds District Court order that the funding should continue to flow normally pending the full litigation of the case

5-4, Roberts and Barrett joining the liberal justices

It’s like we’re living in a fucked up modern day Oregon Trail.

Ricky has polio
Tommy was shot in school

Susan has died from an ectopic pregnancy
You have died from a preventable disease
Nazis have vandalized your grave

Heading: Tariffs could push up costs for car industry. The graphic shows a map, with 5 steps in the manufacture of a piston. 1. Powdered aluminium sent from Tennessee 2. Turned into rods in Pennsylvania 3. Shipped to Canada, Canadian tariff paid at border, rods shaped and polished in Canada 4. Rods sent to Mexico for assembly into pistons. Direct transfers from Canada to Mexico do not incur tariffs. 5. Shipped to Michigan. US tariff paid at border. Pistons become part of engine in Michigan.

This BBC graphic is a good way to show why reciprocal 25% tariffs will cause prices on some goods to go up far more than 25%.

A piston used in a car engine made in Michigan will cross the U.S. border twice, and will be taxed 25% each time.

Some products cross the U.S. border even more than that.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
