Absolutely

The US government is now nonstop performative idiocracy.

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

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

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

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

Hamas says Israel's “failure to comply with the release of the seventh batch of prisoners in the exchange deal at the agreed-upon time constitutes a blatant violation” of the Gaza ceasefire agreement. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/dwcxlp

A dog called Diesel. Much to my dismay, people showed up late yesterday with two dogs that they allowed to run free. They stayed a while and cleared the beach of the birds I was hoping to photograph. More importantly, getting chased by dogs puts migratory birds under stress. 😠

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

It’s a cult.

Wise man…

The trouble is, once I started imagining they were taking selfies I couldn’t unsee it

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

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.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

The very first Lichenomphalia umbellifera lichens I found. I think you can see why I lost my mind over them and am still obsessed with them. Distance shot below ⬇️ #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

There are early signs Trump's attempt to turn the US into a despotic government may lead to many good Americans rising up to get rid of him as president. A nationwide protest is organised for 2 May. #auspol #USpol

🚨Texas Measles Outbreak 💢From 58 cases - 90 in 3 days 💢Largest in over 30 years Senator Schatz (D-HI): For the first time ever, we will have a Health Secretary who has actively helped cause outbreak instead of to contain them." #Voices4Victory

Another huge blow to our national security as Trump purges his own (Black) appointee and several others, and elevates a THREE star MAGA general to lead the joint chiefs (which hasn’t happened since the 1949). Meanwhile, we are casting off allies left and right. #MOMSky www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Oh, FFS, this is nuts. Beyond legallity, love to see how this works for DOD/Intel people who only have classified email working on TS and above stuff. Or say, wildland fire fighters or prison guards? www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

🔶Medicaid is a lifeline for moms, vets, and the disabled—82M Americans in 2023. 🔶Cutting it doesn’t trim fat; it rips hope from those barely hanging on. We’re better than this. 🔶Don’t cut my Medicaid! #MOMsky

Please share any town halls I am missing!

This is the president of the USA, or as he’s otherwise known in Russian since he was recruited as agent “Krasnov”. This is not a statesman. This is an entitled school yard bully, whose dad is the richest man in the world. Jesus America. What have you done to the whole world.

This must be shared far and wide…. #auspol #BeHeardBeRepresented youtu.be/1kYIojG707w?...

Interesting! If you go to a Trump rally, it sounds just like a Klan rally!

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

INDISPUTABLE FACTS: •Russia invaded Ukraine. •Ukraine bears no responsibility for Russia’s invasion. •Russian aggression is a threat to the entire world. •We stand with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. We stand w/all the people of Ukraine. Follow all: WE ARE THE OPPOSITION. go.bsky.app/AMZH6uh

The Washington Post wouldn’t need to write headlines like this if it hadn’t normalized Trump for the last decade.

DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov - a “former” KGB spy. That’s right, one of Elon Musk’s young cyber criminals — related to a former KGB spy, and who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check — now has unprecedented access to…

Elon Musk demanding he knows what every single federal employee is working on doesn't sound very safe or efficient. DOGE is a farce.
