Taking a story that’s a year old, chopping off the date, removing the context that it’s likely Russia using straw donor orders, portray it all as a Trump betrayal… and go viral! www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

how it feels blocking people who mildly annoy me

There were already people in the government "reducing waste, fraud and abuse." Trump fired them and replaced them with one unelected asshole who's canceling programs he personally doesn't like and awarding himself government contracts

hooo boy

Just feel obliged to say as a member of the “sandwich generation” that Musk/Doge/Trump are trying to kill off Alzheimer’s research, home health care subsidies for those who care for people in their homes, and Medicaid funds for nursing home care when they cannot

Every day I wonder more and more what the heck I am thinking, imminently bringing a child into this world, especially in this country.

One of the things I love about sustainable transportation is that it really does address so many injustices at once: it provides affordable transportation, it creates options that give people with diverse needs more flexibility, it addresses inequitable pollution and injury risk.

There's a lot of "Why should some asshole tell me what to do?" in our people's dna but unfortunately it only applies to like wearing a seat belt and not, say, maintaining democracy

"Chicago Airport"

The “Catch Up” feed is also good for this, incidentally

Whenever I am feeling low (every day), I’ll go to the Discover feed. I don’t stay long, I just block the first like twenty people with absolutely rancid corny vibes and get out immediately. It briefly makes me feel better.

Project 2025 continues apace. Would have been nice to have an actual opposition party.

Word has it DOGE has terminated the five men protecting the cursed seal that holds the five dark sages in their slumber

We’re seeing that constitutionally-protected rights are only as good as the people willing to defend them.

“tHeY cAnT dO tHat!!!!!” ok well they are babe, idk what to tell you

I feel sick

from the group chat - “Look for the us to be added to the FATF grey list. We must be the only major country without a registry.”

YOU - I don't want to be this kind of animal anymore.

every post breaks containment. everything does numbers. the good days are gone. the darkness expanded. whither thy hog, alf. whither thy noble hog

#NYR have ALSO spared me from looking totally tone deaf on IG for sharing celebratory hockey updates instead of calls for slacktivism, so thanks lads for that

This is really funny because after congestion pricing launched and the haters were instantly proved wrong — traffic really did go down, transit use really did go up — they clung to "well let's see the business receipts!" as a last resort. And now we know business receipts are through the roof!

me planning my vaccine tourism because RFK is going to ban them all

Just yesterday while on PBS News Hour I said that I will have confidence that federal vaccine policy is uncompromised as long as the external advisory committees continue to meet. Now meetings for both VRBPAC and ACIP have been cancelled. I don't like this.

This is a very bad deal that will affect Chicagoans for decades to come. My 5-year-old son will have to bear the burden of this fiscal irresponsibility well into his adulthood.

bunch of employees who work at the government facility where they keep ET wet freaking out because they need five things for the email but all they did last week was spray water on ET

NEWS: In USDA, multiple people have been asked to report the names of LGBTQ employee resource group leaders to higher-ranking officials, according to interviews with workers and a document reviewed by Mother Jones. + similar in the Department of the Interior

Ungoverned content monetization like this was one of Meta’s contributions to the genocide in Myanmar. They paid scammy third parties who overwhelmed real news orgs and published hoaxes and genocidal content for clicks. www.technologyreview.com/2021/11/20/1...

Okay and is the team aware?

Me da vibes de Bob Esponja cuando está seco. Este wey no ha tomado un vaso de agua en 14 años.

I feel like such a doofus working on my taxes like we’re making it to april

shout out to my (soon to be fellow) hot fiber artist moms

Fuck absolutely off. Go Canada.
