THE RESIST LIST IS HERE. Proud my team just started this @resistlist.bsky.social, which will list actions that happened and that are slated to happen.

It appears irony is not dead after all.

Fill your timeline with word pros who even sometimes use punctuation in their posts. Say hello if you’d like to be included! go.bsky.app/RnDtE9U

Our VP met with far-right German party AfP while in Europe. In case you don’t know who they are, I wrote about it when Musk argued that party, Nazi leanings & all, was Germany’s future. joycevance.substack.com/p/musk-in-di...

Consequences of gutting the NIH 🧵

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Yes, we let a rich idiot nobody elected destroy the entire government, but it was that or make rich people pay taxes so that poor people could go to the doctor

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

"Twenty-two of the 24 cases in the [Texas] Gaines County outbreak are children. At least two are under age 5. Nine resulted in hospitalization, some in intensive care. None had been vaccinated." www.cato.org/blog/red-ame...

Today is prolly the fucking day. Bobby's prolly in at HHS. JFC. @julianwalker.bsky.social runs down the disinfo. @derekberes.bsky.social covers the admin train wreck. I cover the history of deception and projective insanity mobilized by fascist health cops. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/244...

A lot is happening in US science. Bluesky is the best place to stay up the rolling political crisis in America that is crushing US science. It's also a good place to learn what we all can do. We have a starter pack for this. Please send your colleagues here too. 🧪 go.bsky.app/2K6jTi5

New: Project 2025, which Russell Vought is the architect of, advocates for cutting NIH funding. But, it has been NIH-funded research that contributed to Vought’s own daughter having better treatment options for cystic fibrosis. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"And the best thing about the polio vaccine is that it even protects people who don't believe in it."

Non-profits are worried about a possible federal funding freeze. We can help. Project Safeguard offers free legal help to survivors of domestic violence, stalking, and human trafficking in the Denver Metro Area. I'll match the next fifty $5 donations: www.coloradogives.org/story/B8trpf

Copy editors don't need to know everything. Copy editors simply need to possess constant curiosity, the instinct to look up things that smell even slightly off, the ability to listen to what a writer is doing before laying down the law, and a dictionary or two.

A Bit Fruity this week features @kattenbarge.bsky.social x @taylorlorenz.bsky.social x @mattxiv.bsky.social on white supremacy surging in influencer culture and young Republicans cosplaying the kind of wealth their beloved billionaires have prevented them from ever attaining youtu.be/7pKFLOctEUM?...

Civil servants are being named "targets" for their work. I know what that's like. If you're a current or former federal employee, contractor, implementer or grantee, and you're worried about your online safety, I want to help. Monday night @ 8pm ET - Please share 🙏 forms.gle/rHBUP4oqcdsP...

BREAKING: Colorado will sue the Trump Admininstration over Elon Musk and DOGE access to the US Treasury payment system. and the sensitive personal information it contains. This is a multi-state coalition, according to Phil Weiser's office. "Probably the most calls we've received on any issue."

Nice to see a Senator stepping up and calling out the Musk travesty (1) at all, and (2) in clear direct language. Good to see members of both houses at an active protest.

Everything sucks so last night I made these stuffed poblano peppers in a chipotle sauce. #coping

This must be read. By every person who cares about the hijacking of this nation. By every Democrat in Congress. @democrats-judiciary.house.gov Thank you @jamellebouie.net. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

Senator Bill Cassidy just voted to advance illness, disability, and death for the American people. Disgraceful abandonment of your obligations as a doctor and an elected official. The preventable deaths this man will cause are on your hands. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Waking up on a bizarrely warm February day to read about a billionaire's takeover of the government's operations and a vaccine denialist ascending to the top public health position.

No, different races do not need different vaccine schedules. That this even needs to be said in counter to the HHS secretary nominee is insane. youtu.be/0xKtCUAs9ns

what’s the word for when an unelected oligarch sends his personal goons in to seize control of key government ministries. on the tip of my tongue

I asked @noupside.bsky.social If fact checking is biased, content moderation is censorship, and combating foreign propaganda is anti-free speech, where does that leave us now? www.conspirituality.net/episodes/bri...

In honour of Caroline Kennedy’s Bobby smack-down, it’s time to re-up our Bobby archive thread.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

An unelected, erratic, ketamine-addled billionaire with far right/white nationalist views has taken control of the personnel and payment systems of the United States government. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole.

It appears that the CDC has removed its guidelines for contraception and STIs. www.cdc.gov/contraceptio...

And screw anyone whose judgy ass declares you're not fighting hard enough / the "right" way. In the current climate of Fucking Apocalypse, simply SURVIVING, being able to continue existing despite a world full of existential threat, is a *triumph*.
