Amen

Elon Musk staffers are drawing six-figure government salaries funded by taxpayers.

Share if you agree. 🇨🇦 🇲🇽

I finally heard a description of crypto that I understood: it was compared to the beanie baby craze - basically people buying something pretty much worthless thinking it will pay off for them (but payoff only goes to the sellers). Granddaughter response: People aren’t smart, we’ve covered this. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

This is a great letter. Pitch perfect.

I smell some good trouble

I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."

He’s going to spend 5x as much time talking about transgender kids as the price of groceries and gas. Guess why? Because prices are going way up and he’s not doing shit.

BREAKING: Trump has paused all military aid to Ukraine. To the rest of the world, we hate this motherfucker as much as you do.

Still not understanding that America is under attack by Russia and @PeteHegseth is just another Putin useful idiot. If you are one of the enablers elected to defend America but who choose to sit back and let this Russian attack continue, what is actually in this for you? www.cnn.com/2025/03/02/p...

US suspends all military aid to Ukraine in wake of Trump-Zelenskyy row

It's a scary time

love this @rokhanna.bsky.social We need more proposals like this that co-opt the chaos Please share off line as well !!!

Trump’s Tax on Working Families will have a devastating impact on Illinois’ manufacturing and agriculture sectors and will hurt hardworking Illinoisans at the grocery store checkout, on their utility bills, and at the gas pump.

This is criminal

and there it is

Go ahead and read a book. You know you want to.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

1/2 “If Roosevelt had told Churchill to sue for peace on any terms with Adolf Hitler and to fork over Britain’s coal reserves to the United States in exchange for no American security guarantees, it might have approximated what Trump did to Zelensky.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

Nobody should be surprised that our Secretary of State is a pathetic, weak, cowardly piece of shit.

Yes

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities. That means: 🚫 No gas from corporate giants 🚫 No fast food chains 🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

Aligning with Russia sure as shit ain’t “America first.” youtu.be/5HJviwBVb-E?...

I don't think this gets said enough , so I am going to say it. I want to thank our Emotional Support Canadians here on Blue Sky for all their understanding in this crisis ! We all love you. Merci !

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science. Entire NIH departments will have no leaders. World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators. Is this what they want? Chaos? Destruction?

Today's @usatoday.com front page First US death from measles in 10 years First child to die from measles in 22 years in the US All of this fully preventable

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.
