“People will die” was basically the one consistent promise of the Trump campaign to anyone who was paying attention.

My son Ian passed away yesterday. It’s a devastating loss for our family. Unfortunately we couldn’t afford life insurance, so now we’re having to ask for donations to bury him. Anything you can give would be greatly appreciated. #MutualAidRequest www.gofundme.com/f/help-cover...

Accidentally canceled Ebola prevention, accidentally fired people in charge of nuclear safety, accidentally fired people working on H5N1... Maybe you should slow down with the chainsaw. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The big boy arrived last night!

Hey, ADHD haver here - people who are different compared to the rigid outlines fascists try to make people fit into, will always be a threat because they inherently disprove the black and white, anti-intellectual thinking of fascism. They want the world to be simple. It is simply not.

Government submits declaration to Judge Chutkan by top White House official Joshua Fisher saying: Musk is not leader of DOGE. "That explanation...seems to directly contradict the way President Donald Trump and Musk have spoken publicly about the so-called Department of Government Efficiency." Yup

Some cool Jurassic World finds from this weekend!

The incompetency is quite astounding.

Vent post: I’ve got one really annoying coworker that loves crossing boundaries and not recognizing that they’re being a jerk. And now I have to have another convo with them about how to properly phrase things. On top of that, I need to get a manager to mediate the whole thing.

I’m really worried about this movie. Gareth Edwards is very hit or miss. On top of that, they clearly don’t understand what made FK and Dominion flop. It wasn’t that they put the dinosaurs onto the mainland, that’s for sure…

GOOD.

On a brighter note, I’ve finally finished my campaign notes for a DnD game and have a solid group of players that are excited for it!

I know I’ve been posting a lot of politics and current events lately, but it’s super vital to stay on top of current events right now. Is it bad news? Yes. But we need to be prepared and informed in order to properly resist these things.

See you soon

A man with no institutional or electoral legitimacy has taken control of a branch of the U.S. government & is shutting down its operations and legal obligations, to put it plainly.

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

The foundational policy of the new administration seems to be that women, people of color, other minorities, the physically challenged and foreigners are responsible for all this country's problems. In other words, everyone but white men.

I don't know who needs to hear this but all the bots weren't imaginary MAGA. There were bots that were supposed leftists. They are the ones attacking Democrats today. They are the same accounts that could talk about nothing but Gaza before the election. On that note, anyone seen Jill Stein?

For all the UK TF collectors out there.

A good start to the day.

The DOJ scrubbed its Jan. 6 database from its website. At the risk of being a broken record: archive the government data you care about today or you might not be able to tomorrow.

The “Roman salute,” often cited by fascists, including Hitler, was not an ancient gesture but a modern invention, shaped by art and cinema.

If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel. I’m a former NIH PI. Happy to refer you to a law firm that has successfully sued the govt many times! Pls repost 🙏❤️

Cannot count the number of articles that I've seen that act like Kennedy just didn't exist before his failed run for president. Like he didn't create and get rich of the modern anti-vaxx movement. Like he hasn't been slow walking us to this moment for two decades.

Victor is a smart guy!
