This is Miso. She is reporting for her weekly paw inspection. All toe beans are accounted for and are as teeny tiny as ever. Inspection passed with flying colors. 12/10 (IG: lifewith_miso)

I could almost see the side street I struggled my way down! This was so massive that I could hear the crowd the second I emerged from the subway avenue blocks away, and that after a half-hour I STILL hadn't made it to Fifth Avenue, so thick was the chanting crowd on 40th. #NoKings

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

Today I asked protesters in New York City: "What are you worried America is turning into?" Their answers were poignant, and defiant. Watch the video I took (edited by masterful @peter-berger.bsky.social).

Hear from marchers at today's vast No Kings rally in New York City: "I'm glad to see everybody out here right now, knowing that people's eyes are open—and they're fighting for what's right."

This whole thread is worth reading.

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground. Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

What’s happening in LA is a manufactured crisis - massive ICE raid led to protests, Trump went over the governor and brought in national guard and is now threatening to bring in marines. Violence is the goal so he can militarize the US like Putin does Russia. This letter is important: #LosAngeles

Rob is a 21YR Marine Corps Infantry Combat Veteran who served at Camp Pendleton for 9 years. He's speaking out against Hegseth's ridiculous threat to deploy Marines in Los Angeles.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

Heavily armed Trump regime forces driven away by community resistance mid ICE raid in Los Angeles, scenes repeating all over the city where people are standing up to them. #3E #EndImpunity #StopICE

We hit 51! I guess that's another "goal", but... nothing seems to have changed or happened. Isn't something supposed to happen with you achieve a "goal"?!? 😆 Anyway... over halfway to the first 100 signatures! Thanks to those who have signed & shared!! To those who haven't... pretty please?

There is a bird flu vaccine for vultures and condors. There is a bird flu vaccine in development for cattle (by Moderna, for one). But a bird flu vaccine for humans by Moderna has been cancelled by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS): wapo.st/43kxnVf (gift article).

wapo.stHHS cancels funding for Moderna to develop vaccines to combat bird fluThe department cited Moderna’s use of the messenger RNA technology, which it said “remains under-tested,” for the cancellation of the funding.

Elon's legacy ranges from gutting cancer research to setting in motion millions of deaths from starvation or disease. I'll be pushing for Congress to hold Elon & DOGE accountable—for every act of corruption, every disastrous consequence, and every law they have broken.

All 7 articles on top of NYT are written from insanely pro-Trump-bias compared with reality. Russia stories make it seem like Trump is rationally weighing foreign policy rather than serving interest of Putin for 10+ years. Other 4 articles are SaneWashing and minimizing scope & impact of corruption.

Blue states need to be ready to take a stand immediately. No pussyfooting.
