With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:

Today I’m angry. Enough of this criminal bullshit. I want that level of anger from our leaders.

Fuck Ta-nehisi Coates. This is an incredibly ignorant statement on half a dozen levels.

The Dems made signs. That was it, that was the resistance.

The master.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

Dems look like they're bidding on fascism at a silent auction

Don’t tell me democracy is at risk and a constitutional crisis is unfolding and the best you got is a modified ping pong paddle.

@kaine.senate.gov WHY DIDN’T YOU WALK OUT??

@markwarner.bsky.social WHY DIDN’T YOU WALK OUT??

@gene4va.bsky.social WHY DIDN’T YOU WALK OUT?

I’ve been awake for 20 minutes. Intended to work out before getting ready for work, but instead, I’m sitting here doomscrolling.

We were told we were overreacting for saying said they’d kill Roe. They killed Roe. We were called conspiracy theorists for saying he’s a Russian asset. He’s a Russian asset. When will we get our shit together? Because Putin is serious about destroying American democracy.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Gotta love Betty, because she tells it like it is! ❤️✨

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge ordered Trump officials with knowledge of the workings of billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to testify under oath in a lawsuit challenging the faux agency’s access to sensitive governmental databases. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

We just need to start referring to him as Krasnov

My dear colleague Dick Jessor (who is literally 100) has recently started telling the story of his service in WW2. Hearing his stories reinforces my commitment to avoiding the depths of suffering humans can inflict on each other.

Hurricane season is going to be a bloodbath.

Russell Vought stated this specifically

Everything he says about deportation camps on military bases is spot on—and alarming. But don’t get thrown off by the name Blackwater. It’s still out there—rebranded. Blackwater became Xe in 2009, then Academi in 2011, before merging into Constellis in 2014. The name changed but the op lives on. 🧵

Pretty soon we’re gonna have an entire black market for Canadian vaccines like it’s Prohibition.

Agreed. But it’s true.

THE Rep. Jasmine Crockett to Elon Musk: "Fuck off." So say we all. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Video clip courtesy of @calltoactivism.bsky.social

So CNN is reporting that a million Feds replied to the DOGE email. I find that hard to believe that nearly half of all federal employees replied when most departments told their people NOT to reply to it.

Why are their faces always so fucking punchable? www.cbsnews.com/amp/detroit/...

Is this shit really happening?

Welp, I decided it’s time to get my fat, broken ass back into shape.

Well, no emails, so driving on!

Saying the quiet part out loud.

The personnel that make up our government workforce have NEVER been the problem. They are devoted, hard working civil servants. The size of the government workforce has been constant since 1970, despite doubling the population. Every government organization is overworked and understaffed.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...
