TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

Judge William Alsup ruled today that OPM firing Probationary Federal Workers IS ILLEGAL. He rules that the departments, themselves, can hire & fire, but OPM “does not have any authority under any statute in the history of the universe to hire & fire employees at another agency.” 👏 Fight ✊ Back!

What a joy to create this painting that was inspired by a child's beautiful artwork! I created this piece for the upcoming Little Visions Big Creations fundraiser for the Mancos Early Learning Center and Mancos Creative District. #play #mancoscreativedistrict #love

📍The Flysch of Zumaia, Basque Country. This is one of that places than I never got tired of coming back. These Flysch, rock formations on the beach is a playground for any photographer 🌊 #bluesky #photography #landscape #art #nature #sunset #travel

Elon Musk grew up in a place where tyranny of the minority was considered "democratic" rule. It enriched his family and set him on a path to ruin the world. He has no intentions of letting democracy survive in America.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

This is a librarian appreciation post. If you’re a librarian I just want you to know that what you do is important and that you’re loved and appreciated.

I felt like a librarian even before I went to library school. Something very useful about being a librarian is that information is the basis of the work. This is a very useful skill at all times.

The Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate in Romania, Calin Georgescu has been arrested. Authorities raided him like the crook he is and found at least $10 million in cash and tickets to Moscow. He may have also bumped his head a little bit too.

Also, if you are not white, straight, in perfect health and fairly wealthy, YOU are the waste they are trying to eliminate. Attacking the flu vaccine and other vaccines, repealing the prescription drug caps and removing the social safety net OUGHT to be obvious to anyone with a modicum of logic.

Colorado is proud of Rep. Brittany Pettersen for not letting anything hinder her fight against a misguided federal budget with enormous deficit spending that would pull the rug out from hardworking Coloradans who get health care through Medicaid. www.cpr.org/2025/02/25/p...

RIP Gene Hackman and Mrs Arakawa And pet.

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky

Californians across the state have worked together to outline tangible, ready-to-go economic plans to support their specific industries and workforces. Our resilience and determination to work across differences will help us overcome whatever challenges we face.

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.

For those who use social media as their sole form of advocacy—pls add methods that elected officials care about. They care about advocacy that requires effort. Calls, personal emails & showing up in person. Social media can be used as an organizing tool. But it is not effective as advocacy alone.

As part of my Chair Initiative for the bipartisan National Governors Association, I am calling on every Governor to visit a bright spot school in their state, as I have, this spring as part of our work to see what’s working and how we can scale and replicate these efforts across the country.

Reading with children is a joy. My local library has such excellent books to choose from. Fort Lewis Mesa public library. The librarians are also teaching me cool things about my phone.

The Durango Herald is a wonderful newspaper. I also enjoy the Colorado Sun.

to my fellow artists: please go to the gym or start lifting weights!! It has literally saved my drawing arm 🥲

Colorado’s aeronautics industry creates jobs, boosts economic growth, and contributes to the success of our agricultural exports and trade partnerships.

Three cheers for independent bookstores!

Joy Reid will always be an important voice speaking truth to power. For such a time as this.

In Colorado, we are focused on unlocking housing supply and affordability, breaking down artificial barriers to housing. We must end artificial, government-imposed constraints on supply.

I’m asking Congress to provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. It’s all-hands-on-deck to support our fellow Americans and get them back on their feet to begin rebuilding as soon as possible.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

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

perhaps a drawing doesn't always need to be something extremely innovative, envelope-pushing, technically revolutionary for your art style. perhaps it's enough that it's you.

Duckduckgo app

Today, FEMA and the US Army Corps of Engineers are starting to clear wildfire debris on private properties in Altadena & the Pacific Palisades in record time. By eliminating red tape and bureaucratic barriers, California is helping to expedite the recovery and rebuilding process at a record pace.

The library is an important and amazing place. ☺️ 📚 🖤

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze. I worked at an organization that -helped veterans who have lost a limb -Assisted elderly and disabled people -Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

California has taken coordinated action to support those impacted by the Los Angeles firestorms: 📝15 executive orders signed 💰$2.5B in disaster relief signed into law ⚠️8,148 properties assessed for hazardous materials 📩7,156 Right of Entry forms submitted

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment. I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face. And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

Now more than ever.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

A morning with clouds.
