Happy Easter

Dear Canada and MAGA: The vast majority of military members would refuse to execute military operations against Canada. Period.

Republicans are ALWAYS the victim. Not a very “masculine” trait

Musk is rich because you gave him $38 billion in tax money to make that. He is happy to tell you what you don’t need. He’s also picking a side in foreign policy, and it’s not our side

Had a conversation with the great Phillips Obrien on sub, discussing the lack of fight we see among the Democrats, and importantly, what is happening in Ukraine. Here's a sample, link in reply:

Emergency Video: Dems are falling into GOP trap, plus all about what is happening in the Govt funding fight, and how dems can push back. This is your one chance to have some DOGE accountability, and on Ukraine. (link to full video in reply)

Trump: "We don't need Canada's lumber. So what I'm doing is I'll be signing an executive order freeing up our forests so that we're allowed to take down trees and make a lot of money and then re-harvest trees ... we don't need anything from Canada."

Let’s put this in perspective, if you had a friend whose husband was as fragile and psycho as Trump is, you’d tell her to roll on out and find safe haven:

Here are updated forms for Federal Cuts Tracker Map project, live later this week 🙏🏼 Help share and crowdsource!!! www.linkedin.com/posts/abigai...

THIS ‼️

I don't like to feel hatred. But, I hate our president!!!! He is going to destroy us if we aren't careful. He is an awful man, just awful. And I pray that our allies know that he does not represent all of us!!!! I pray that the Ukrainians understand that they do have many here that support them.

I'm disgusted by the way the toddler in the oval office talked to President Zelensky. He has far more dignity than our current president. I thought there was a moment in which he wanted to punch trump in the face. But he is moral. I wish our president had half the morality that he does.

🧵Delighted to share a new guest post by Dr Anne Toomey on **8 things scientists can do right now to stand up for science in the US** Thread of her *evidence-based* actions follows, whole post here christinapagel.substack.com/p/eight-thin... 1/11

At least three people linked to Elon Musk’s DOGE task force have access to NIH systems that control budgets, procurement, and more, according to records and internal documents viewed by WIRED.

In fact, government helps you to be free enough to live a life you have reason to value. Getting rid of government puts you back to subsistence living.

Trump's promise to dismantle the Education Department will likely be more costly for red states than blue. Trump states, on average, use more federal funding in their education apportions than states that voted for Vice President Harris. www.axios.com/2025/02/05/t...

“If your bank failed, you lost any savings you had there. Politicians and even bankers in the 20th century wanted to end the cycle of devastating depressions, which is why we have so many financial regulations today. The Trump administration wants to roll back as many regulations as they can…”

Anyone else just feeling tired. Yes, I have my own amount of issues in life but this stuff going in Government is very concerning. No one voted for Elon. Why does he have so much authority? When reporters asked Trump about stopping USAID, he said, it looks that way. Has he given all power to Elon?

Go Crazy!!! Celebrate black history month and all of the ones that the toddler in the oval office is trying to remove. Show him they are important!!! Put flags outside!!!!! Make posts about them!!! He will not win!!! We will!!! Those that value diversity!!!!

It may seem simple, but continue to presure republican congressman. We have to keep speaking up. And we have to remember that the majority of them are probably not maga. They're just too afraid to say anything. So let's be sure we give them lots to say and think about. Put on the pressure.

Dr. Hotez nails it!!! In addition to his list, my worry is for the next generation of scientists who are in training now. We are going to be fucked for so long just because folks could not bring themselves to vote for the black lady 😡

shouts to all the media outlets who uncritically parroted him when he said he didn’t know anything about the same Project 2025 he’s now implementing

THIS!!! MORE. OF. THIS. www.mlive.com/news/grand-r...

For the umpteenth time - history matters. Read Heather. “January 25, 2025, marks eighty years since the end of the Battle of the Bulge.” heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-24...

So interesting that adolescent black boys are perceived as hardened adults but a rich white man who uses his wealth to influence politics around the world and is eligible for AARP benefits gets infantilized as just a little silly goose. You don’t know how much this shit right here pissed me off:

This is true. We can’t sit idly by and let our country fall into fascism.

I remember the old days when Fox said it was Biden’s fault.

I do wish that here on blue sky, there would be more emoji options like facebook has. It feels really awkward to hit a heart when you like what someone says, because you agree. But, in all honesty, your heart is sinking and you would prefer to put something more appropriate to it.

My take aways from the FB video chat by @hcrichardson.bsky.social today that I needed: The incoming admin is unstable and not equipped to deal within a system that, by itself, has not been updated regularly. Don't watch/react to the Trump "show". 1/

What a day. Our family laid to rest my sister in law. It's MLK day. Which I gladly celebrate because I am definitely for civil rights. I came home from this long day and immediately turned on the news. Saw trump signing a bunch of executive orders. And immediately turned it off!!! God help US

Not surprised, and you shouldn’t be either

Jimmy Carter's funeral was beautiful. And for a lot of it, I kept thinking about the complete contrast between the man he is, or was, and, sadly, the man that will fill the oval office soon. Please boycott the inauguration. It's a small jester, yes, but we cannot give trump what he wants; attention.

I enjoy reading posts. I do find that so much of it is so sad though. So today I'm just gonna say to everybody, let's keep having some hope. Even though it may seem things are in a downward dive. So many of us want it to heal. Trying to focus on that. Let's keep using your voice to be the change.
