How it started How it’s going 💰 🤷🏼‍♂️

love this @rokhanna.bsky.social We need more proposals like this that co-opt the chaos Please share off line as well !!!

BREAKING: Foreign-born leader comes to Oval Office, dressed down in a disrespectful manner, having already received billions from America, asking for American taxpayers to keep paying him more billions, subsidizing him for years to come:

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

We’re in this mess in large part bc the average American is uninformed about fundamentals of civics, history, basic biology, economics, etc, and media and the internet are not meeting the moment. Is anyone organizing teach-ins or similar for the general public, whether irl or online?

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

People will complain about Democratic messaging, not pay attention to Democratic messaging, claim that the best thing we can do is primary the best Democratic messengers, and practice the most useless counterproductive really bad messaging themselves. All at the same time. 🤡

Civil rights leader Hazel Dukes, the former president of the NAACP, has died at 92. Born in racially segregated Alabama in 1932, Dukes moved to New York in 1955 and became a fixture in state politics, even administering the oath of office to Governor Kathy Hochul in 2023. May she rest in power. 🙏🏾

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

If you work in the American tourism industry be prepared to bring a book to work because the world has no plans on visiting you.

I will say it plainly. I am ashamed to be American with this president in office. What in the world is wrong with him? Every person who tried to confront Zelenskyy or spoke to him rudely should feel deep shame for their behavior. This isn’t a TV show ffs. The president is out of his mind.

someone put their pronouns in their email signature in 2017 and now the world's most irksome Boer has my social security number

Interesting book. In regard to Bill Clinton, his critics believed that “his zipper problem would keep him out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue”.

BREAKING Project 2025 leader and current OMB head Russ Vought directs all agencies to create plans for large-scale layoffs ("Reductions in Force") by March 13.

This is why we need unions.

I got the MMR, TDAP and Shingles vaccines yesterday. I hurt everywhere. I’ve got body aches and chills again. Had Covid a month ago. This is almost as bad. Going to watch “Rear Window”, drink lots of fluids, probably not eat anything and sort of whine really really quietly on occasion. 🥴🥶

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Where are the Democrats but also Where are the churches Where are the celebrities Where are the NGOs Where are the Universities Where are professional groups like AMA Where are the athletes Where are the unions What people/groups do and don’t do for next month determines our collective future

I’m going to again post my stance on Trump and fascism from my campaign site. A lot of local Dems seemed spooked by this kind of talk, told me to “fight the far right as a private citizen and don’t attract attention to us.” But how much better would Dems be polling if they were talking this way?

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Pentagon hits pause on plan to carry out mass firings of civilian employees, officials say www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

In this Indiana diner, everyone has three questions: How's the breaded tenderloin? Is the quarry hiring? And when will the feds finally put an end to congestion pricing in Manhattan?

US Senator Roger Wicker, head of the US Senate Committee on Armed Services, commented on the talks with Putin: "No, Putin cannot be trusted. Putin is a war criminal and should be in jail for the rest of his life, if not executed."

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...
