worth mentioning again that senate democrats’ plan for strategic confirmation votes in exchange for blocking the worst nominees was a complete failure

Mississippi prisons may soon have to provide protective gear like face masks and gloves to incarcerated individuals on work assignments involving dangers like toxic chemicals under a new bill.

I keep seeing "Why aren't the Americans striking" and "Because our healthcare is tied to our jobs" and it never gets less true or less depressing

If you play dnd or otherwise rp a lot, you should check out @offbeatworlds.bsky.social's portrait packs. One of their tieflings I bought forever ago has inspired SO much writing in the last couple of days and it's been delightful.

A little spoiler :3 #commission

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

Sick and tired (Disclaimer: trans is at the head for a reason, but all else is random. Getting distracted by what should go where is exactly the petty distraction they want.)

52 GOP votes for killing your kids

Kudos to Gizmodo for digging deeper into this story and finding the truth, which is that there has been no contract awarded to Tesla for armored cybertrucks. gizmodo.com/the-400-mill...

Good morning, Bluesky! During the night, I reached the 280,000 follower mark. I could not be happier to be in the sky with such excellent people as you. Thank you! To celebrate, I've donated to Trans Lifeline, whose peer support for trans folk is needed now more than ever. Onward! translifeline.org

Fuckin lol Vance. No one cares about this man's existence.

🗓️ Today in one sentence for Tuesday, February 11, 2025. Trump, Day 1484: "Will end badly." https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/2025/02/11/day-1484/

As we watch the GOP dismantle the federal government with swift urgency, we must acknowledge the reason we are here is Dems do not move with that urgency. When Roe was overturned, Dems held the House, Senate, and White House. Instead of codifying Roe, they fundraised off of it.

Four FEMA officials were fired for not following illegal orders to withhold spending. The White House is saying of judicial decisions: "These unlawful injunctions are a continuation of the weaponization of justice against President Trump." These are not warning signs. This is happening now.

One thing is that is becoming clear in higher than expected turnouts in lot of these rallies/gatherings not just in DC but also across the country is that - energy is there for resistance. Folks are ready to fight - unclear whether Schumer/Jeffries are up 4 it. If they can't, we need someone else.

The CFPB was dismantled over the weekend, with all activities suspended, its funding reduced to zero, and its headquarters temporarily closed—removing a crucial layer of oversight for consumer-facing financial companies. Staff members ordered to cease all ‘supervision and examination activities.

Today, we at Google have a new product: what if you could could ask an app a question? Oh, we do that already? Well, what if we were a little bit worse at it? What if we also sometimes gave you egregiously wrong information? And what if it cost a billion dollars? Still not interested? It's mandatory

ugh

Union square is full of people protesting for trans youth. Over for 4000 in attendance

genuinely so many blocks I've made/make can be summed up as "i hated the vibes and didn't want to see em again"

“There’s some outside problem with eggs maybe” is an all-timer

QRP with your wings art!

the only people who benefit from this are child predators and i'd like dem officials to say so into a microphone

Me, smirking at the bear devouring my flesh: So you actually can’t do that it’s illegal. Focus on economics

"If only someone would do something" says man who could do something (but won't).

This is the government openly planning prosecutions of their ideological enemies and it should be treated as such.

Please tune in!

House Democrats made an unsuccessful attempt to subpoena billionaire Elon Musk to testify about his efforts to radically reshape the federal government, only to be blocked by Republicans.

The White House said Elon Musk will determine if there are conflicts of interest between his work reviewing federal spending and his overlapping empire of six companies

Democrats have delivered on crucial votes including keeping our government open. Those votes won't be there if we continue to see utter disregard of the legislative branch. We have to push back against this disrespect of our article one power.

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

Hitler was born in Austria-Hungary, not Germany, and was appointed to power by Hindenburg before the man's death in 1934, under pressure from other conservative leaders.
