Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Amen to that.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

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

He nails it.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

I don’t know why this is hard for folks to understand. The layoffs aren’t just about probationary employees. They are going beyond that. It won’t stop. It’s all about making agencies non-functional.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Imagine you have over $400 billion and you spend your time working to deny hungry children around the world meals to avoid starvation.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Meanwhile, so much for “free speech” over at The Bad Place.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Trump and Putin meeting to “negotiate peace” on anything should be seen for what it is — two criminals discussing how to split the loot.

Money talks

Knowledge is power…

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

It’s estimated that there’s anything from 3 to 8 parking spaces for every car in operation in North America. Which means we build more space to park cars than we build space to house humans.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Said every tyrant and dictator in human history to justify his actions.

“Beyond Skepticism: Data Confirms Auckland's Zoning Reforms Delivered on Housing Promises. Three rigorous studies, 43,500 new homes, and a 28% drop in rents: The data is in on Auckland's great housing experiment.”

This is fascism.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Housing minimums not parking minimums. We 100% know how to do this. It just takes will and leadership. Via @tomflood.bsky.social

I absolutely love this idea.

This is not a normal person 👇

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

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

Seville, Spain eliminated 5,000 car parking spaces and built an 80 km protected cycling network in just 18 months with 32 million €. Result: An average 70,000 bike trips a day. Leadership.

In cities that lack safe bike infra, only those willing to accept the risk will choose to bike (often men). When we build networks of connected, protected bike infrastructure that is plowed in winter *more* people choose to bike. 20 secs on the Midtown Greenway in 5℉/-15℃ yesterday:

Good advice ⬇️
