Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Can’t believe the knives are already out in the stores. The Ides of March gets more commercialized every year.

All Pete Hegseth talks about is being a warrior and instilling a warrior mindset in the military. Personal courage is the cornerstone of the warrior ethos. I wonder how that fits with being such a coward as to fire generals with 35 or more years of service in a press release on a Friday night.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Women belong in the kitchen. Men belong in the kitchen. Everyone belongs in the kitchen. Kitchen has Food.

I suggest folks go print out your current SocSec info (as PDF) — even if you aren’t taking in SS yet. I feel changing a PW isn’t much help against hackers… www.ssa.gov You can/should always confirm the site id first.

I need people to play attention to this 👇 and to what I said on Thursday www.marketplace.org/2025/02/13/t... The destruction of politics is coming for the economy

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Why does a 38-year old U.S. Attorney in SDNY, who is also a die hard conservative, have more guts and integrity than the entirety of the GOP Senate Conference combined?! Shame on the shameless sycophants and enablers there, who can’t find the spine to stand up to common MAGA bullies.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

Pretty soon…Kennedy assassination? DEI. 9/11? DEI. Diarrhea? DEI.

Trump is the first president to constantly wear makeup. Lol

This says it all

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Every day these people show us who they are

Bison should be allowed to roam free and cattle should be restricted to private land. All abandoned barbed wire should be removed from public land. The money today being wasted on public lands grazing should go into building wildlife overpasses and installing wildlife safe guide fencing.

"At least 1,000 USAID staff have had our .gov accounts...deactivated and wiped overnight with no advance communications," USAID worker tells me. "This includes colleagues deployed in active war zones like Ukraine and Gaza who rely on USG technology for safety." bsky.app/profile/kenk...

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

Excellent post

No exaggeration.

Here we go. The plunge. Just hours before the seditionist conman takes the reins by citizen choice - echoing our periodic fascist urge. Ignorance, fear, and lies-upon-lies. They work for a time. And now’s that time. Steel on your spine.

More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”

There are no corporations with progressive values, and corporations do not operate by a set of altruistic morals. Corporations are by definition amoral, and exist only to maximum profits for owners and shareholders. Corporate America is not going to save us from authoritarians and autocrats.

Fires like the ones burning in the Los Angeles area can make drinking water, and the water pipes and tanks themselves, unsafe. Here’s what residents in the area, and anyone else living near where a wildfire burns, need to know. (via @us.theconversation.com )

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ? So we moved 😇 over here to BlueSky If you could, please help us regain our following Follow Retweet and Repeat ;-) Together we can change the world.

11 teens have been arrested for beating two men they had lured using a gay dating app. Activists and police warn the attacks are part of a larger social media trend where straight teens and adults target and lure gay men for assault. www.advocate.com/crime/illino...

People seem to be jumping to wild conclusions as to why that cybertruck blew up when the most logical explanation is that it's because it was kind of foggy last night

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

This is so spot-on it’s scary.

In many areas, Planned Parenthood is the only maternity service Regardless, South Carolina wants to prevent the provider from receiving Medicaid For NON-ABORTION treatments Like cancer screenings Their case will be heard by the Supreme Court The cruelty is the point www.npr.org/2024/12/18/g...

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

CNN goes full maga.

The real reason why Trump wants to seize the Panama Canal from Panama… it’s always petty revenge with Trump.
