The understaffing at grocery stores now is just beyond. It takes a Herculean effort to locate an employee in an aisle, and they all look so rushed and exhausted that I feel horrible for interrupting them.

If only we had a word for a shape with three sides.

Subaru should repossess your Outback if you put a Trump sticker on it.

It’s difficult to imagine a dog being more clingy than a poodle, but I love that about them. 🐩

Very unusual for ABA to do this Proud lawyer moment: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews/aba-news-archives/2025/02/aba-supports-the-rule-of-law/

This cannot be constitutional. The idea that the American Bar Association cannot enjoy the participation of federal officials in events but the Federalist Society can is absurd.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Read the letter of resignation from SDNY AUSA Hagan Scotten, Bronze Star recipient, former clerk to Chief Justice Roberts. Bravo! 👏👏👏

I’m so proud to be an attorney tonight. The justice department attorneys are resigning one by one rather than be bullied by Trump. We took an oath to the constitution and most of us hold that oath as the compass of our morality. There is hope tonight.

I don't understand why people are still using X. If you are worried about losing an established network audience, some real numbers: I had 30K+ followers there and I have 13K here--the engagement is the same, if not better, here. Re-build. You don't *need* anything Muskrat's empire offers.

it really doesn't get any more disgusting than this. sick

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth. It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

I was having flashbacks throughout that halftime performance…

Trump administration solves problem that it created.

that’s right.

America needed that win lol

they can take over the entire country but they can never actually be cool and it will eat at them forever

This is what local news orgs should be doing now: "In 2024, the Univ. of Alabama was in the top 1% of NIH-funded institutions. The university, Alabama’s largest public employer, has received more than $1 billion in NIH funding. NIH grants in Alabama supported 4,769 jobs" www.al.com/news/2025/02...

Are we ever gonna address the ultra conservative funded “He Gets Us” campaign the that pretends to be progressive lol

She speaks truth.

When I see that a home listing was built in 1920: 😍 When I see that the home was recently renovated and now has millennial grey vinyl floors: 😡

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Was at an event in DC this evening with a lot of federal employees and it is absolutely wrenching to talk to people who dedicated themselves to public service work through the appalling attacks and uncertainty that they are facing now.

It's probably bad that Trump will attempt to hide the fact another pandemic is coming.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

how your email finds me

i miss the community of 2008/2009 twitter because it was just people watching tv/sports together without a crushing amount of despair for the most part

Facebook gone 😊 now all that’s left is Insta.

By the way "The Big Short" is mandatory viewing IMO. It's dramatized so if you're looking for a documentary on the 2008 financial crisis you can probably do better but it very much captures the important lessons of how soulless and STUPID big money people are.

Your daughter has died serving her country, and now you have to hide her identity because the President and his supporters will predictably scapegoat her for the accident.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Tennessee doesn’t have universal free lunch for kids but now we have a…. Universal free private school discount?

Love when a family member asks me to explain a political hot topic! Today it’s vouchers. I hope they’re ready for a wall of text!
