Commenting on the Georgetown v UConn men’s hoops tilt, Donny Marshall just said, “The crumbs of hope slowly disappear every time you throw the ball away.” #MomentOfZen

Huh, turns out you can't have private UNIDENTIFIED security assault and kidnap people because you don't like what they say at city hall Weird.

This is the coolest thing I've read this week. www.sciencealert.com/we-finally-k...

“We fired all the guards at the bank so they’re not roadblocks to anything that happens.”

I think it is increasingly clear to most, that beneath all the cosmetic changes, this is who’s still there.

If you’re not ok with your children calling people the R word or using a Nazi salute, but you’re ok with your politicians doing it, you’re in a cult. If you are ok with your kids doing that because they idolize Trump and Musk, you’re in a cult AND you’re a shitty parent.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

TRUMP JUST FIRED THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD STOP HIM FROM USING THE MILITARY FOR A COUP. This is how dictators seize power. The last time someone purged the military like this, they called themselves führer. Pay attention before it’s too late ‼️

ATTENTION, SHOPPERS! We have a Silver Alert! If you’re missing an elderly gentleman, he is in the managers office. He is confused but he is safe.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552. Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

It really is this simple.

When I say that Brian Setzer is a one of a kind musician - this is what I mean. youtube.com/watch?v=DJfV...

Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.

It’s cute he thinks Trump would read this. And care if he did.

It’s remarkable how quickly the Trump team has sabotaged all the things that actually made the U.S. influential on the global stage. Free trade economics, strong diplomatic networks and alliances, the soft power of democratic culture and values, the hard power of a competent military …

it’s going to be a tough competition for which Trump constituency he’s going to screw over the most but I feel like farmers might take the crown

I think Kim Mulkey shopped at the Dolly Parton “Coat of Many Colors” collection for today’s attire.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

This is fascism.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Sidney Crosby is a punk. There, I said it.

Helluva start to the USA v Canada tilt.

Doing great 👍

Stop and think about what he’s saying here. When he tells you who he is, believe him.

What could go wrong? www.npr.org/2025/02/13/n...

WTAF.

Insane how quickly the racist regression is happening in this country. Decades of progress being undone in weeks, without even any laws having to be passed. Just sheer intimidation from Trump and the right, and sheer cowardice from the corporations.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Judge issues blistering order saying that Trump administration has violated his prior order re funding freeze. If admin. continues to disobey, next logical step would be contempt and a potential constitutional crisis. Visit Democracy Docket for updates. www.democracydocket.com

WSJ, last 48 hours:

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

Hey MAGA, anyone want to explain to me why getting rid of the agency that has prevented another 2008-style financial crisis is a good thing?

Happy Beanpot Championship Monday, for all who celebrate. #GoEagles #Sux2BU

Correct. They are refusing to enforce duly enacted laws. And then they will refuse to comply with duly entered court orders.

BREAKING: Early this morning a federal judge issued an injunction stopping Musk team’s access to Treasury. The showdown is about to happen. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/n...

NEW: An internal email obtained by WIRED from a threat intelligence team monitoring US Treasury systems advised labeling DOGE operatives an "insider threat," adding that it recommended suspending their access "immediately." | www.wired.com/story/treasu...

If only experts existed who could warn Americans repeatedly that foreign aid is money spent to pay Americans and buy things from Americans but no one's ever said it out loud so who can blame people for not understanding

If you're listening out for the winds of resistance, the folks at the Alt National Park Service @altnps.bsky.social are worth following

When a kid with ties to Russian and Nazi hackers dumps data from our most sensitive systems, we should demand the New York Times screams about it. NYT knows how to make computer server security an issue. They did that to get Trump elected in 2016. They choose not to now.
