Nightmare

Up at 6 for big breakfast, observed steady rain outside cat door, went back to bed. #catsatbluesky #thisis19

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

NEW: As the White House redirects counterterrorism personnel and funds toward mass deportations, a state-level scramble is on to preserve efforts once supported by Washington. The result is a patchwork approach that leaves many areas uncovered. By @hannahallam.bsky.social

This, this is the kind of leader we need.

I don't think I've ever seen such a brazen, reckless, or successful scam as crypto. I can't believe news coverage takes it seriously. It's literally nothing — at least Monopoly money is printed on paper. These grifters are gambling that they can cash out before the bubble bursts and screws us all.

Can't help but feel we're living through an increasingly existential war between spectacle and substance with spectacle winning battle after battle after battle.

TACO ? Hah. Good one Wall Street.

Switching from Trump’s Amazon to the more diverse, equitable, and inclusive Costco is easier than you think. I made the switch. Now everything I need is delivered by Costco right to my door in two hours instead of two days - and without supporting oligarchs!

Jake Tapper's book is nothing more than the corporate media trying to shift the blame for 2024 off themselves. Unsure how people can't see this.

Please read and share the League of Women Voters of Maine's fact check of Jared Golden on the SAVE Act. #mepolitics www.lwvme.org/node/3443

Disagree with Nina on a ton of political tactics for driving action but she's 100% correct here. Ex. These Friday Amazon "blackouts" where 80% of people just order the next day? Come on.

And worse than worthless! Not only are they not targeting actually dangerous criminals while terrorizing basically innocent people, they’re normalizing police-state tactics and eroding rights and freedoms long taken for granted.

This is an entirely valid concern. I have been eyeing all of my repositories and thinking about where the servers are physically located and where the organizations operating them are. I'm looking into some contingencies.

@warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov @repmcgovern.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @pressley.house.gov @massago.bsky.social Please start shouting and doing something about this. It’s terrifying.

Americans didn’t send us to Congress to help Trump turn the White House into a crypto cash machine. We can't look the other way when the President hosts a private dinner for his top meme coin buyers—or pass crypto bills like the GENIUS Act that would further line his pockets.

One of the biggest underlying problems we face in America is the belief that we're a mostly good country that's gone awry, misled by nefarious actors after freak events. The US is constantly doing the wrong thing and hurting the most vulnerable people, it's just that now, shame is dead.

If you want democrats to stop bringing knives to a gunfight, arm them with a MAJORITY in 2026 😀💙

@repmcgovern.bsky.social Thank you for fighting the budget bill while grieving deeply over your daughter’s death. That’s strength and commitment many don’t have. Now please send us bill details. Thanks again.

This is the weaponization of government—full stop. If you speak out against them—or in this case do your job—they will come for you. What we’re seeing with @replamonica.bsky.social is a political stunt, and we won’t stand for it.

Good read: open.substack.com/pub/progress...

The number of assaults on law enforcement in ONE DAY on January 6th is higher than the number of assaults on ICE officers over a decade.

Absurd. Simply absurd. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

I'm SUPER proud of all the folks joining the independent media revolution: @klasfeldreports.com @katiephang.bsky.social @jimacosta.bsky.social @contrariannews.org @joyannreid.bsky.social ... there are too many to name, but thank you for all your work!! Three cheers for independent media!!

If ANYONE tries to employ Biden's cancer diagnosis in an argument about the 2024 election, I will block you. Twice. Miss me with that shit.

DEMOCRATS! Throwing Joe Biden under the bus won’t help you. •It won’t win over the base. •It won’t boost your approval. •It won’t bring back voters who sat out 2024. •It won’t fix 2026. It makes you look petty while Trump is burning it all down. REPAIR AND BUILD THE PARTY!

Dear Sen. Susan Concerned Collin’s R-ME Elections have consequences, as will your next one. Your buddy’s tariffs and Canada stalking are hurting ME big time. And worst is yet to come.

I’m just a girl staring at my screens waiting for the media to focus on the CURRENT president’s cognitive decline (as well as his DAILY corruption) instead of focusing on the FORMER president’s health.

In my best dreams, the next admin would be: Pritzker-POTUS Abrams-VP Crockett-SOTH AOC-SML James- AG Buttigieg-State Kelly-DOD Yates-DHS Demings-NSA Brandon Scott-HUD Kunce-VA Johanna Haynes-ED O’Rourke-Transp Booker-Commerce Warren-Treasury Jaq Castro-HHS Nikki Fried-Agri Lieu-Interior

Today on Fox, they covered CNN’s Jake Tapper hit book on Biden all day, but didn’t mention the $400M plane - in case you’re wondering how corporate media is doing. Get your news here instead. Veteran-owned, women-run. Fully independent always free podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

•••••HAPPENING NOW••••• The first group of White South Africans granted refugee status is departing for the U.S. today, flying on a State Department-chartered plane — at the expense of American taxpayers. The Trump regime has made great efforts to facilitate the swift resettlement of white…

Duffy’s full of it. Pete Buttigieg and Dems pushed to modernize our air traffic control system under Biden—Republicans in Congress blocked it. The Trump administration’s been too busy blaming DEI instead of fixing the real problems.

Today, we wasted time voting on renaming the Gulf of Mexico—a name it’s had for almost 500 YEARS. We’ve got folks losing healthcare, schools underfunded, and rights under attack. We’ve got real issues. Prioritize THAT.

Nooooooo!!!!! She's the best!!!!

I understand this is all so crazy. The question is what do we do about it? Here’s a list of 10 things… youtu.be/ZMl1r-1a8tI

This would’ve generated twenty op-eds in the NYT and articles of impeachment if it’d been Biden

Driven by Kirsten Gillibrand, who also literally screamed Democrats voted to fund Trump's government. These people are worse than useless.

Do your job, Sean.

Not to be too pro technocrat, but it is astounding how much this country depended on the selflessness of like a few hundred thousand highly educated public servants who, for peanuts, made sure our food and medicine and environment etc were safe. And in return these servants were demonized.

Under the gross incompetence of Trump and the world's richest Nazi, Elon Musk, the FAA is a disaster. It is now more dangerous to fly on an airline than at any time in the late 20th and 21st centuries. 😳👇

UnitedHealth is the nation’s largest health insurance conglomerate. We obtained what is effectively the company’s internal playbook for limiting and cutting therapy costs. Revisit this story from our series "America's Mental Barrier," a 2025 Pulitzer finalist. (Published Nov. 2024)
