And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Sure hope Ken Martin’s “knives out” strategy isn’t just doubling the fundraising screeches jamming my inbox.

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now

I realize Trump isn’t a Bible scholar but how can he not understand the issue with “that land” in particular is that it’s the holy hands of 3 major religions. That’s kinda the entire issue.

Hey Elon👋🏽 Every single person in this country deserves to know their rights. That's legal. Maybe you should brush up on our laws given the fact you're breaking them to steal American's sensitive data. PS. This video is manipulated, and I wasn't even at the event shown.

hey quick question does Goliath win in that story

Agreed. Cynicism is NOT intellectually superior. It’s unoriginal, boring, and privileged.

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Now that he’s opened the beautiful water flow, next he’ll provide every Californian with a government-issued rake signed by Donald J. Trump. If only they’d listened to him six years ago!

Musk is going to the government what he did at Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter: fire all the humans so it catches fire and explodes.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

The bigger problem is that we have a slow growing poison in the veins of young Americans thanks to sports gambling. These companies are truly evil

1. the subtext of these talking points is that nobody can do jobs as well as white guys, so if a woman or person of color is in a role they are inherently suspect 2. do we even know if a woman or person of color had anything to do w/ the DCA crash? or just making assumptions?

#1 in the 🌎 For the second year running, Los Angeles Public Library is the number one lending library in the world on Overdrive/Libby with over 14 million items borrowed in 2024. We couldn't have done it without you 🫶📚🎉

Never seen such a load of unqualified white dudes

It’s shocking how few people know about the #Tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas. Why? Because the CDC can’t issue notifications to alert healthcare workers about it. #PublicHealth

Central feature of the chaos is that the OPM memo requires agency lawyers to, inter alia, review programs to see if they "advance Marxist equity". But since that phrase has no meaning in law or reality they can't. Might as well as be talking about orcs and warlocks or Wizard Thought.

Magnificent:

Keep fighting. Keep dancing.

We’re living through Deconstruction. I don’t know what else to call it — it’s an assault on the New Deal, Great Society, Reconstruction, and every other rights movement I can think of.

RFK Jr asking the public to pay off his campaign debt before he can do his job is certainly an interesting precedent to set for the party that opposes student loan relief

Fireballs. You drink’em. Now you can drive one.

Guys like joe rogan are funny because they still think smoking weed that they buy legally from places that look like an apple store makes them hunter s thompson

One of the driving principles of the second Trump administration is affirmative action for mediocre white men

Trump has always wanted to force-feed his version of reality onto people. After he suffered narcissistic injury after injury, that determination grew. He links his grandiosity to the Big Lie, and has to keep selling that 2020 was rigged, so he didn't lose. Thus, he needed to pardon those who agreed.

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Yeah, I picked a Dylan song last week, but since this album came out 50 years ago today, maybe you'll indulge me for another. The mood of the day has kept me coming back to thinking about "Shelter from the Storm." See you around. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gsD...

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

Zing!

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

What a shame. All that wasted money trump supporters spent to travel to the Capitol for the inauguration. Think of how many eggs they could have bought.

Kid Rock is dumb as one.

The story behind ProPublica’s new Private School Demographics database began with our need to understand how many “segregation academies” still operate — and where. By @jenniferberryhawes.bsky.social

I just spit out my tea.

Sam Harris is a jackass, but this is worth reading as a window into Elon's descent into madness samharris.substack.com/p/the-troubl...

Not a surprise. But important dynamic for 2025 is that I expect Eric Adams to make NYC essentially a staging ground for ICE in his efforts to secure a pardon. You rob a bank because that’s where the money is. Mar a Lago/pardons, etc.

Yup :
