"What has been happening in Serbia... is a historic development worth paying attention to, given that it comes against the backdrop of Europe-wide backsliding on democracy and a crisis of the political establishment." — #AJOpinion by Saša Savanović ⤵️

Would absolutely love to be desired irl.

Zelensky has handled negotiations very well so far. Despite indirect extortion, he hasn’t caved to giving up resources for nothing and made it clear the US has no plan. The only way for Trump to achieve peace is through a fair agreement with guarantees for Ukraine

Cis isn't a slur, unless you get your tone right.

I'm a lesbian

Pete Hegseth wants $49,000 for emergency painting a condo. Not very DOGE, if you ask me.

"Special credit goes to Nathan Tankus, an expert on 'the technical details of monetary policy', who has become the man of the moment." Thank you very much @pkrugman.bsky.social paulkrugman.substack.com/p/autogolpe?

Kash Patel took the 5th before agreeing to testify before a grand jury. Now he doesn’t want to share his testimony about Trump's unlawful retention of classified documents. @booker.senate.gov, @whitehouse.senate.gov, and I sent a letter demanding that he disclose what he said. It is essential.

🚨 At 5 PM ET, join me and a dozen Members of Congress as we call on the Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services. Watch the livestream here: youtube.com/live/_Wn_3j8... #RejectRFKJr

When billionaires say jump, Republicans say how high?   Republicans claim to want to stop the opioid crisis - but they empower conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. and give Elon Musk the keys to critical health care services? youtube.com/shorts/nNcHW...

Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order banning transgender women from competing in sports at federally-funded schools. This is a cruel, invasive action that will harm women and girls across the country. Let’s talk about it.🧵

Remember the federal funding freeze that the Trump admin realized was illegal? The one they supposedly rescinded? Well, Community Health Centers can’t access their funding anyways. @kaine.senate.gov and I are pushing for answers before rural communities lose access to health care.

Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payment systems of the United States Department of Treasury, but you don’t control the budget and spending of the American people. The United States Congress does that—under Article I of the Constitution.

Pretty thuggish way to treat a distinguished senior officer after a lifetime of serving her country. They relish the cruelty.

Trump has now handed shadow President Elon Musk control of your Social Security payments and Medicare benefits. The government programs that you paid into to help you in retirement, the retirement that you earned.

This is textbook authoritarianism.

I love my public library. They whiz books all around the state and let me pick them up at the cute little branch walking distance from my place. They accept my purchase requests. They send me amazing unexpected recs. The thematic shelving is always interesting. And the librarians are hilarious. <3

Attended the EPA press conference. When I arrived, I heard that members of Congress were talking to security. So I walked over and into what turned out to be a private press briefing. Guess anyone can walk into anywhere nowadays. (learned that trick from DOGE) That’s Sen. Ed Markey in the center.

Voting for Trump was the ultimate anti-choice move because now we’re all stuck with this giant stupid racist baby we didn’t want.

This is now the banner for the article. I'm taking the rest of the day off. www.crisesnotes.com/treasury-sec...

I’ve got the morning shift. This guy is dangerous and unfit to serve and I’m about to explain why. Tune in: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

The rhetorical triangle is an old approach for framing arguments I use w/ MBA students: Logos: use ur intellect, backed by evidence & reasoning; no bluffing! Ethos: ensure to first gain credibility & authority on an issue; no winging it! Pathos: be passionate & appeal to emotions; care about it!

The 2024 Election was not the war for liberty and democracy - it was one battle. I am still standing, and so are you. So long as we stand together, Fascism shall never win the war. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

A key, indispensible resource now, and always, that centers young people re: sex ed, repro health, gender identity and healthcare, and more: Spread the word about @scarleteen.bsky.social !

No one is USING AI. They are TRAINING AI. No LLM is ready to be fully deployed. It's all early beta testing they are trying to convince you is actually a product. It is nowhere near its target goals for its intended uses. People aren't paying to use it; they're subsidizing its training. It's a scam.

found on r/me_irlgbt, seemed relevant. stay strong. i love you all.

Nice hats 😂

Be Best at the Inauguration lookin like The Hamburglar 🤣🤣🤣

Donald Trump has promised a slew of executive orders on his first day in office, including hardline immigration policies and renaming the Gulf of Mexico. See the updating thread below for some of the executive orders Trump has announced so far and follow live updates here:

The thing that is both comforting and terrifying about history is that it has never actually stopped.

Would love to survey women who are single and without kids in their 30s, 40s, and beyond to find out what they enjoy most about it and what the rest of us can look forward to. Is it the prowling the bogs for prey after midnight. I bet it's the prowling the bogs for prey after midnight.
