CDC Blackout on COVlD Wastewater Data

Their dashboard "updated" today. The data did not. This is NOT normal. The data updated even when external communication was previously banned. Leveraging Biobot data, PMC estimates 1 in 171 people in the U.S. are actively infectious.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

When Chris & Tom in MA checked their son's Social Security account last week, it said his disability benefits had ended.

They stayed up all night refreshing. Those benefits help pay for his care.

Trump & Musk's attack on Social Security is hurting people. We're fighting back.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

Why would the IRS have data on immigrants? I was told they don't pay income tax.

[Cora Harrington @CoraCHarrington]

Incredible to see the Overton Window shift by leaps and bounds in real time. From “they would never deport US citizens” to “yeah, they should deport US citizens we don’t like” in what…a couple of weeks?

Great work, everyone.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Since the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision, spending by billionaires in elections has grown more than 16,000%.

End billionaire control of our democracy. Overturn Citizens United.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Just to remind everyone: It is absolutely nuts that a single person is wreaking total havoc on the global economy, and doing it by exercising powers that the Constitution explicitly (and for good reason) reserves for Congress. This is not OK, and we shouldn't pretend it is.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

Hi Bernie! I see you support targeted tariffs. On your site, you claim your merch is union made in the US. I found a shirt and it is, indeed, fully made in the US from fiber to sewing. If you would like to outsource this to China to piss off Trump, let me know. I can help.

[ᴘᴏᴛᴀᴛᴜᴍ @pot8um]

Third spaces that are free to the public

[Anna Bower @AnnaBower]

Friendly reminder that our Republican-controlled Congress could end the tariff chaos at any time, if it wanted to.

Doing nothing is a choice.

[Franklin Leonard @franklinleonard]

Literally everyone was saying this was what would happen if Trump got elected, Harris included.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

We can no longer count on the internet to be a permanent digital archive. Governments are disappearing information from their websites, authors are seeing their life’s works deleted. Netflix has three movies from before 1970. It is time to invest in physical media.

[Ruth Ben-Ghiat @ruthbenghiat]

It's sabotage meant to wreck America as an economic and every other kind of global power. It's time to accept that fact.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing.

Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

the idea you're going to reshore this type of manufacturing is laughable. wheat timbs would cost $500 if made here. basic vans would be $200. a north face jacket would be $750. americans are not paying that kind of money for clothes and shoes.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

me doing a filibuster: "to understand how to buy pants, we must first understand wool, which starts with a story about how humans domesticated the wild mouflon in ancient Mesopotamia"

[Allie! Ally! Allé! 👩🏽‍💻🥃🔮✨ @allieiswriting]

Interesting that this trailer is cut like a romcom, I’m curious to see how this plays out

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Russia has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Putin was indicted for this crime. Yale has a unit searching for them. Musk eliminated the funding.

[EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel]

The richest man in the world, @elonmusk, took over $5,000 out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was saving money, by falsely claiming he was dead.

[Ruth Ben-Ghiat @ruthbenghiat]

This man has no original thoughts. 🙄Mussolini said the same thing about Europe in...1927. He proposed Fascism as white racial rescue of Europe against "black brown and yellow" people having too many babies...

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Still no.

In fact, the same Dems who argue to keep the filibuster “for when we need it” do not, in fact, use it when we need it.

It’s only used to block Dem policies. Never to block harmful GOP ones.

Could have proved us wrong. Instead they proved the point.
