NO KINGS NO SLAVES NO NAZIS gets you the three good American wars, in chronological order no less. sounds insane to argue against any of them and yet it is very clear which side you're on

At this point just waiting for Civil War Part 2 to start and France deciding to be on our side again. France: 300 years of friendship. We get it. Sometimes you have a dictator, sometimes we do. We just help each other stay on track.

Guys I had a wild dream where Donald Trump, the guy from the apprentice, became president of the United States, and he decided he wanted to do Smoot Hawley 2 Electric Boogaloo.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

1/ Because of Who I Am As A Person, seeing Musk propose eliminating Government Spending (G) from GDP reminds me he has no idea what he's talking about, but this time he has veered into a domain I can talk competently about

🧵The intersection of the Musk & Putin agendas are coming into focus. Here's what I think is happening. I hope I'm wrong. Key to understand: 1. Trump=POTUS in Name Only (PINO), while Musk runs the US day to day. 2. Musk & Putin put T in office; many of his actions now are repayment of that debt.

It's #Friday, which means another nature pic. Here's some 💚 to our Nat'l and State parks! Nature lovers, be sure to follow @altfws.bsky.social and @altnps.bsky.social for updates Grove of Titans at the Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park #Nature #FeelGoodFriday #Forest #Redwoods

YOUR FAVORITE WEATHER APP IS JUST A PRETTY DISPLAY OF NOAA DATA Ppl seem to think that "NOAA weather forecasts" means climate-, boat-, or "in addition to my app"-weather. But the weather forecasts *we all use* are made from the NOAA data *we all paid for* Make that part clear when you ⬇️

An exchange from today's floor debate: Asked whether he would be surprised to hear that most (~82%) of trans Americans have experienced harassment/discrimination at work, the lawmaker who sponsored the bill said -- “I don’t know. I’ve never thought about it.”

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired. This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all. Subscribe to support my journalism.

SCOOP: WaPo Opinion editor David Shipley is out. Jeff Bezos emails staff about a change to Post Opinions: "We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets."

THEY'RE GOING TO ISSUE PERMANENT VISA BANS TO TRANS VISITORS TO THE US. This isn't just for athletes. The directive as stated applies to all visa applications made by trans folks and declare it material fraud to use a different gender marker on applications. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Very ominous for the future. The goal posts will keep moving until they, and us, aren't here anymore.

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism. Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records. This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Cuckoo star Hunter Schafer has reportedly been given a new passport with an M for the gender marker, outing her as trans to anyone she shows it to. The model and actress says her previous passport was stolen in Barcelona, leading her to apply for a replacement.

If I was Jewish American I’d be so scared for the future. As it stands as a trans American I’m so scared for the future.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

I really just cannot brag enough about how good this new @indivisible.org resource on next week's congressional recess is. If you're looking for practical ideas about what you can actually do in this moment, check it out: indivisi.org/muskorus

Please read the original article and see for yourself all the deeply concerning language. Esp in light if funding cuts, anti-DEI, anti-women's health, etc. Like, 'the threat posed by..."mental health medication...oh I my bad. We should just be praying it away.

we are getting stories crazier than watergate every single day and no one bats an eye at them anymore. society has hypernormalized intense corruption that it feels like NOT being openly corrupt hinders you

It is actually genuinely funny that the Army looked at the Executive Order and said "no"

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

NEW: Musk shutdown USAID. BUT, remarkably (accidentally?) he left the USAID Inspector General’s office open. It’s just published a report on the agency’s closure: - $489 million of food at risk of ruin - 500,000 tonnes at sea/in storage at risk of ruin - 🚨terrorism monitoring in-country halted🚨

The horrors persist but so do-- wait, is that another horror? there are more horrors? Anyhow like i was saying, the horrors persist but HOLY SHIT MORE HORRORS? WTF MAN

A thread explaining our new discovery about humpback whale song published today in Science... We found key statistical properties that characterise all human languages in another species for the first time. We have more in common with whales than we previously thought! doi.org/10.1126/scie...

This just in! 🤬 Seattle Children's Hospital canceling procedures for trans teens. PLEASE JOIN THEM THIS SATURDAY, 2/8 AT NOON on Sand Point Way outside the main campus for a protest demanding the reinstatement of surgeries . #TransexualMenace #Ready2Rumble #TransRightsAreHumanRights #Boost

If anyone claims that the current anti-trans panic was caused in any part by trans people advocating for our human rights, that person is lying through their teeth. The religious right lost on marriage equality, and immediately started going after trans people instead. That's what happened.

Finally I'm feeling like I'm getting some actual representation from my elected representatives in Congress. Thank you Senator Murray, but we need more people defending the Trans community in congress and elected leadership. 1/2

It really is incredible how much control Elon Musk has over US policy right now. Also, Rubio is pathetic.

sign an executive order into law is not how any of this works

Here's a thread about how trans people can approach remaining informed of the news in a way that prioritizes pragmatism, self-care, and building resistance. It's based on what I'm doing personally. So, fyi, I'm more anxious than usual, but holding up substantially.
