As a big fan of not having prisons anymore, seeing Indigenous people block a prison by buying the land out from under the state is very satisfying.

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

doin a lil groupwatch tomorrow on bricks & breaks, drop in and hang out!

The plane that flipped over was in Canada and appears to be caused by high winds on the runway. Take a moment. Breathe.

This is weird! I don’t want politicians to be my friend, I just want healthcare

BREAKING: We are suing DOGE and the Office of Personnel Management to stop the brazen and illegal data sharing of federal employee data with the “government efficiency” group.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

It’s time to start wrapping our heads around the real possibility that collective action and even a general strike are required. Musk is working fast to solidify control, do as much damage as possible, and party “opposition” is not up to the fight. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/collective...

NEW: ProPublica has identified three lawyers with elite establishment credentials who’ve joined the DOGE effort. Two of their names haven’t been previously reported as working for the Elon Musk-led initiative. Here’s what we know about them:

BREAKING: Federal judge in D.C. blocks Musk from accessing sensitive Treasury Department systems and records. More to come. Order: www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/u...

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

🧵Someone from the /r/fednews subreddit put together a list of all the Elon folks working for DOGE. They are: Amanda Scales Brian Bjelde Riccardo Biasini Anthony Armstrong Steve Davis Baris Akis Thomas Shedd Edward Coristine Russell Vought Michael Peters Josh Gruenbaum Russell “Rusty” McGranahan

For all our American neighbours who may be struggling to find accurate health information - thr Public Health Agency of Canada has a website you are more than welcome to use: www.canada.ca/en/public-he...

WASHED!!!!

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

The obvious only correct play for democrat legislators is to just operate as totally obstructionist. Anything short of that is just participating the evil thing. It’s definitely ethically correct but I bet it would also reap greater strategic rewards in 2 years with voters than working with fascists

new EPISODE about a TRAIN with SMOKING and DRINKING and GAMBLING with @bsquiklehausen.com

streaming some music discussion and lego building later today!

In a world of Pattons, be a Paul.

Didn't expect Patton Oswalt to go full shitlib, but damn, here we are.

I have a nasty habit of reading shit I shouldn't right before sleeping. Sure, laying in bed is a great time to read about prion diseases.
