Thank you Governor Mills for standing up to a wannabe fascist dictator.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

I love it when our nazi crackhead shadow president screams slurs at astronauts when they push back on his insane lies

I posted a copy of the 3 minute version of my speech from yesterday (with citations) if anyone is interested. Feel free to steal from it if you want! (also, this is literally less than half of the Nazi shit they're currently pulling)

fact check: since congestion pricing started, subway crime is down 36%.

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

Incredible stuff in here: They ID'ed him, in part, by going to court hearings and watching him post

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

#springfever Spent the day planting ranunculus and anemones for my cold hoop house. And then this amazing light pouring into the hall, reflecting off the dog food bucket. A good day. 🌱🌞

AI when forced to confront a man's love for his beautiful transsexual wife

Wrote about the morally vacuous, strategically unsound (and also wrong!) anti-“woke”diagnosis everyone’s still sticking with, even in the midst of civil rights apocalypse.

In years of taking protest photos I’ve never had Instagram refuse to post one until this one, just now. Apparently Zuck was afraid this photo might harm someone. Posting here so it still might 🔥🔥🔥

The world’s richest man is trying to buy elections around the country while also while wielding unprecedented authority to fire thousands of government employees, unilaterally dictate federal spending, and bring in his own companies to remake vast swaths of the federal government.

I'm starting to think DEI may have been the only reason so many planes stayed in the sky...

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Oklahoma has consistently ranked in the top 10 states of women murdered by men in single-victim/single-offender domestic violence incidents since 1996, but I’m glad they’re concentrating on the important stuff. okcfox.com/news/local/g...

#bloomscrolling A Bowl of Beauty peony from June 7 last year. You know how you feel when you go through a bunch of old pics and you find one of an old friend you haven’t seen in a long time? That feeling.

Crime scene. Elon Musk and Donald Trump are robbing us blind. And the Republicans handed over the keys. Stealing our money. Stealing our personal information. Stealing our social security. They will strip America down to shake the coins out of the couch cushions.

Time-lapse from today. Day 80 non-stop. #GeorgiaProtests

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

This is Tuuli, a pitbull pup I adopted in Nov. She is the 3rd Pitbull I’ve lived with, but I never encountered these deeply expressive head wrinkles in my others. Tuuli looks CONCERNED all the time. Remember the daemons from Golden Compass? She is my perfect daemon. Ima let Tuuli do the worrying.🐶

So the US is now kidnapping whole families and trafficking them to random countries that the US has coerced into imprisoning them for some unspecified period of time

Trump’s new passport rules are trapping transgender Americans in bureaucratic limbo www.vox.com/politics... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports. Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1915...

Protest removal of #trans and #queer language from #Stonewall website. Today 2.14 noon at Stonewall #LGBTQIA+ #transrights are #humanrights

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

Danielle Sassoon to Pam Bondi: “I have always considered it my obligation to pursue justice impartially, without favor to the wealthy or those who occupy important public office…”

Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general: "I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"

#bloomscrolling, #gardens Calming myself down with pics of my last summer’s garden. More anti-trans bills in front of the NH Senate Judiciary Committee today. I’m the mom of 2 trans adults. For god’s sake, just leave us alone! FYI, I grew these dahlias from Floret Farm seed. Dahlias help 🌱.

NEW This may be one of the most important cases. Doe 1-26 vs. Elon Musk and DOGE Complaint: "Attempted government takeover" in violation of the Appointments Clause. www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

Exclusive: Seven witnesses tell me that CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp allegedly engaged in lewd conduct and allegedly sexually assaulted a man at a bar on Saturday night near a property he owns in north-central Virginia. My Story: bit.ly/4b1XMJO
