No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Stephen Miller went on CNN and was so transparently full of shit that he ended up lashing out at the host

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Google has just removed Pride Month and Black History Month from the calendar app. This comes as they obeyed Trump by changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name to “Gulf of America.” L

You are not helpless We will prevail Protest Protest Protest Take breaks when you need to Fight when you can And always Resist

An unelected broligarch and his merry band of unripened incels have hacked our bank accounts, Bird flu is raging, TB is is spreading, planes are falling out of the sky, Trump’s planning Gaz-a-Largo and eggs are more expensive than ever, but at least we’re getting plastic straws back.

There isn’t anti-Christian bias in America, there’s anti-Jesus bias in American Evangelical Christianity.

Yes Jasmine! 👏

There is still beauty in this world

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

I don’t fucking think so.

hey question, is this bad?

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

just start saying this plainly to more people i'm serious.

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Former Secretary of Transportation--who was not on The Real World or Road Rules--weighs in on the President's efforts to blame the fatal air traffic accident on DEI.

REPORTER: Is there an acting FAA director? DUFFY: *walks away* (The FAA director resigned on the day of Trump's inauguration under pressure from Elon Musk)

Ok sure, eggs are more expensive and inflation isn’t lowering, but at least they cut the funding for childhood cancer research, stopped monitoring Bird flu, shutdown Medicaid, stripped hungry kids of their school lunches and took hot meals away from seniors

When the boy who cried wolf doesn’t grow up, but becomes president.

A fact I like to point out in my classes is that by the beginning of the Civil War, every white-controlled Christian denomination in the American South had developed a pro-slavery theology and adopted it as their official position- except for the Quakers.

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

This morning I reached 250,000 followers here on Bluesky, which is a gobsmackingly large number for me. Thanks so much for following me; I hope I make your experience in the sky better. To celebrate, I've donated to @aclu.org, which helps defend immigrant rights. www.aclu.org/issues/immig...

This week's Internet winner goes to...

We’re one week in and cancer studies are paused, workers are disappearing, the CDC is frozen against bird flu, trans people have been completely disappeared, and even Cubans are being deported. #FAFOAmerica

As a rape survivor, the very thought of having a sexual abusing Commander-in-Chief and a sexual abusing Secretary of Defense makes me want to throw up.

I remember when advocating for mercy and compassion was considered Christian. Now it's considered radical ideology.

Right out of the gate they are detaining U.S. citizens and saying their “papers”are fake. It was always a lie.

He literally took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution on Monday. Since then, he's tried to overrule 14A (birthright citizenship) and is now challenging 22A (terms limits for the president). Seems odd.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

Trump on January 6 insurrectionists who assaulted police: "They were very minor incidents."

We need a list of the top eccentric dudes in Bob Dylan songs. The Dancing Child in a Chinese Suit, the Diplomat Who Carried On His Shoulder a Siamese Cat, The Hysterical Bride in the Penny Arcade—These folks had very little representation in popular music before Dylan.

The “free speech defenders,” ladies and gentlemen.

He pardoned EVERY SINGLE PERSON... I won't hold my breath for people to be outraged.
