Several good things are happening according r/fednews so I am going to drop them here. If federal workers are fighting back, how much more us? A thread/

Everything about this movie makes me feel like I'm going insane bc the art is unbelievably beautiful and the music is fantastic all in service of the most rancid plot Disney ever came up with

Oh my god, Eric Adams is going to accidentally free Luigi. Amazing.

The day people stop posting AI generated foot fetish porn and pretending it's some noble act of rebellion is the day I finally start to live again

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Smells like venture capitalists

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

I heard the NEA is only considering proposals related to 1776 & the USA’s 250th birthday & I was feeling intensely patriotic, so I’m printing these really big posters inspired *directly* by the Founding Fathers The cut was carved from the masthead of a 19th century newspaper

Will never become tired of this 😂… #Odysseus #TheOdyssey

If you're not addressing the exact thing that I'm interested in, then you're falling for a distraction.

Give this to Robert Kennedy I guess

It’s so disheartening to see so many well-meaning organizations go “well, we have to sacrifice this vulnerable population in order to protect the rest of our vulnerable population” as if those people won’t be targeted next.

You know why it's fuck the Dems forever? They fought Bernie, The Squad, and anyone left of Joe Manchin harder than they've ever fought authoritarianism. They rallied behind W for Iraq and the Patriot Act and are now rolling over and showing their bellies while Trump and Musk pillage everything.

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Queue the videos of congressmen and pundits and comedians demanding "Have you no shame?" No. No they don't. If you believe them at their word you're an idiot and if you're just playing along you're just as bad and deserve the same fate.

We're still getting this drip-drip of stories implying mounting evidence for a lab leak (despite no actual evidence). Meanwhile, the increasingly strong case for zoonosis rarely makes headlines.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Do it right kids

Seeing people get up to nonsense like this - like not to get all corny, but honest to God - reminds me that people are worth fighting for lmao.

Pittsburgh famously has 90 neighborhoods including Bridgeland, Cliff Hazard, Pirohitown, Redevelopment Opportunity, Discovery Zone, Bridgeland II, The Tower Of Latria, Bigfootville For Some Reason, East North Southside, and Middle Of The River

*Kendrick Lamar voice*

really can't get over the fact that because they're barred by law from renaming the fort after a confederate general, they just found a random army private with the last name bragg so that they could rename it Fort Bragg

Boy howdy, do I, a trans woman, have some thoughts about how the gender revolution put a lot more emphasis on letting girls do boy stuff, and almost none on letting boys do girl stuff, which if anything reinforced the idea that girl stuff is inferior if not shameful.

if you use slurs you can get the fuck out of any leftist movement until you understand basic solidarity

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.” Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.

as always a friendly reminder that natural disasters don’t give a tenth of a shit who elected who and saying people deserve to have their lives destroyed because their state went red/blue says WAY more about you than it does anything else

Minneapolis theater group doubles down on DEI initiatives as federal funding is threatened

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

I do enjoy the idea that simply complying with the Trump administration is the real resistance.

Aren't these the same people who celebrated bc they thought the election meant they could say slurs at work again

Lmao I got blocked for reminding somebody why trials exist

Period.
