This is so sad. After everything that Nichelle Nichols did to open up NASA to women and minorities.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

The Democrats are leading the court battles against Trump, which they're largely winning. The Democrats are leading rallies, holding the Senate floor, and other forms of protest. I'm tired of hearing "Why won't the Democrats do something?" They ARE. Stop griping. Get on board.

We predicted it. They would turn red state National Guardsman into enforcers against the public. Greg Abbott steps right up to be the first fascist supplicant. www.newsweek.com/greg-abott-t...

Trump fired the EEOC General Counsel AND at least two Democratic commissioners last night. This is unprecedented—presidents do not fire commissioners as a rule. He’s really crossing the Rubicon here. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/b...

When the history of this conditional crisis is written, it should be reflected that the best training ground for flouting laws and reneging on obligations was being an American CEO. The voters got their wish. These guys are running the country like a business.

📥 @freedom.press’ statement on Patel’s confirmation hearing tomorrow: If confirmed, it’d be “a new low” for the FBI. Allegations “that journalism & whistleblowing are crimes in and of themselves will likely serve as pretext to punish those who expose government secrets & hold officials to account”

Yep, if you don't fit their definition of what a woman looks like, you will be challenged for using the bathroom of your sex.

Today one of the pardoned J6 cop killers tried to kill a cop (and instead got killed by a cop). Can MAGA find a way to blame Antifa for this?

As someone else pointed out this is the exact same trick Elon played at his companies. It’s not a “buyout.” The money has not been authorized by Congress. They are playing games. Don’t fall for this bullshit.

This is how a real professional journalist does it 💙

We need for the Dems across the board to become the obstructionists. They need to put their goddamn feet in the ground and stand there.

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you." Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldn’t affect Head Start and Medicaid. This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.

Your absolutely right. And they think we'll be as gullible as they are. 🤦 Thanks, @mmpadellan.bsky.social

I can't recall a single point in my life where I've been scared of a trans person. Unfortunately, I can think of many, many times that I've been scared FOR trans people.

Oops. I haven't been posting about my jewelry as consistently as I'd wanted. So, have a look at my geeky stuff! #JewelrySky #DisabledCrafter dragonandwolfdesigns.com/collections/...

Oh, did Trump reverse a whole bunch of Biden’s executive orders that were benefitting and protecting us? Same Biden who never did anything for any of us? Same admin that accomplished nothing & is the same as the other side if not worse because reasons? Cool cool cool

How the rest of the world sees us.

Talking about a treaty ally like a mob boss running a protection racket: "maybe things have to happen with respect to Denmark"

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum trolls Trump by displaying a 17th-century world map showing "America Mexicana"

Not sure how mass deportations will stop a guy born in Texas from blowing up a Cybertruck. Is it too late to deport the guy who invented the Cybertruck?

This also makes my trans son a woman again. This stuff will put a man in the women's restroom if he is forced to use the restroom of his sex at birth.

Have they actually watched any Star Trek? It's been woke since Sept 8, 1966.

Annual morbidity in the 20th century, before and after vaccines: Measles: Before: 530,000, After: 47 Mumps: Before: 160,000, After: 429 Rubella: Before: 50,000, After: 3 Diphtheria: Before: 20,000, After: 2 Smallpox: Before: 30,000, After: 0 Polio: Before: 16,000, After: 0

Where have you seen me before. I am the treasurer of the Mythopoeic Society and Consonance. I usually go to Westercon, Gallifrey One, and Loscon.b

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

And survivors of these diseases can be crippled, blinded, or deafened by them. If you love your children get them vaccinated and push against RFK the lesser’s agenda.

Could you imagine what would have happened in 1942 if Nazi’s walked the streets of America holding up swastika flags. How is America great again if an ideology that killed our grandparents and great grandparents walks our streets?

Sunday comic: Haha, I can totally relate!

George and a reminder that we must keep fighting for what is correct.
