It is cool to envision a world where our cities have less concrete and more greenery. (Dresden)

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

we are going to learn through this which brands actually value their long term health and profitability and which just exist as pump and dumps

Rep. Massie, the lone Republican NO, says the Republican budget will add $20 trillion to the debt over 10 years. They don’t care about the debt and never did. This was all a dance to get their trillions in tax cuts for the rich. (Again) Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGheJx1...

Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

Here we go... Pritzker raises the threat to a reality-based level.

WASHINGTON (AP) — 21 civil service employees are resigning from Elon Musk’s DOGE, refusing to “dismantle critical public services.”

Chair Comer just threaten to have the House Sergeant of Arms forcibly remove me from the Oversight Committee for calling out Grifter-in-Chief Trump for corruption and making money off of the American people.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

I'm looking to see if the cuts & chaos at CDC and NIH have affected any clinical trials or research for drugs for the treatment of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or other serious diseases. If you know anything, please contact me at DavidCorn.99 at Signal. Or if you have any other good stories.

HUGELY IMPORTANT. “We are in danger when the legal constraints on how the president uses the military, including within the United States, are ignored or brushed aside.” This is a staggeringly important warning bell from a serious and respected person, not prone to hyperbole. It should scare us.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

Acquired this nifty little anthology of vampire tales from 1780-1980 from my good friend @bugs-are-buddies.bsky.social and I plan to read it from cover to cover today rather than think about the real-life monsters in DC

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Musk called DOGE “maximally transparent,” but it has refused to release info about its spending and operations — including the names of its employees. ProPublica has identified 46 of them, including 12 new names we've just added.

#art #BluSkyArtShow #artyear Reading By Moonlight This is my biggest piece so far at 13”, it took a little over a month to complete. I love the details the most. Especially Frida’s scissors. All hand stitched with a double hoop. #handembroidery #spotlightart #doublehoop

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Enrique Tarrio and some Proud Boys just showed up at the JW Marriott trying to get into the Principles First conference, where several J6 cops are speakers.

Good discussion with @pwilt1.bsky.social on @mkickaround.bsky.social about the USSF Professional League Standards... what he would like to see them changed to... and community club ownership youtu.be/r7jxskYvdKA?...

Democratic members of Oregon's delegation decried the Trump administration's plan to slice National Institutes of Health funding. If that goes through, OHSU, in particular, will feel the pain and so will medical research, they fear. @bbotkin.bsky.social oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/02/14/o...

I guess I just imagined a President who coddles adversaries, alienates allies, and hobbles the government functions in a way that will definitely bring on American carnage would be viewed as a bigger emergency overall.

It’s official: Canada announces high speed rail between Toronto and Quebec with a 3 hour travel time!

And there it is. Same holds for activists, writers, "free speech" orgs, arts institutions and everyone else who has been silent for 15 months.

How completely jealous am I of Brazil right now

"We will protect DOGE." This morning, Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin — a "stop the steal" organizer and Jan. 6 defendant advocate — sent an email titled "Operation Whirlwind" in which he said he's personally launched an investigation into Sen. Chuck Schumer. The text:

The United States of America is now actively working to become a formal member of the Axis of Evil.

If the intention of the demonstrations are to bring in more people across Salem & Keizer, it is time to consider expanding them beyond the State Capitol. These are high visibility areas with parking nearby and ready transit access to include more people.

How was this contract awarded??!

Them going after red heads will radicalize an entire nation into socialism and open revolt.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

This feels so relevant right now.
