Do it

Good morning. What’s on the agenda for today? Bombing Iran? Invading Greenland? Kidnapping anyone with a tan? Tainting elections?

Welcome to all our new followers! 💚

Tump: Our weekly reminder!

British cartoonist RE Burke was detained by ICE in Seattle WA and held for 19 days. She previously traveled in USA in 2023 on same Visa with no issues. She is home now. Her family thanks all who helped their daughter. Her treatment at the Tacoma detention facility was dehumanizing #Voices4Victory

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

Greetings and good morning it’s the Saturday farm rush hour with Mo & Emerald #rushhour

I am so glad Colbert is saying this on TV.

Of course, having to stay in DC past today would have interfered with Schumer’s book tour which begins Monday.

New Canadian Tourism Slogan...

Live your life in such a way that over half the country isn't rooting for your death.

This is not a counterpoint to Don who does incredible work, but we need to stop discussing DOGE in the context of efficiency. DOGE is a foreign invasion intends to cripple the US government's ability to do anything which doesn't benefit billionaires. The rest is branding.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Let this sink in.

Cancel your plans for Tuesday, find a protest near you and join. Call, text, DM your irl moots and organize in groups. We need everyone on the streets!!!!

Please share! We could all use something to smile about today!

Dirty Traitors

Feels like a good time to share the link to this org that helps rescue Ukranian kids kidnapped by Russia. (567 returned so far) Plus they do so much other amazing stuff for the Ukrainian people. 🇺🇦❤️ www.saveukraineua.org

Here's the best thing I ever read about Gene Hackman, by @rbuas.bsky.social at @flaminghydra.com flaminghydra.com/gene-hackman...

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.

Immediate Health to do: - Get up to date vaccinations NOW -Stock up on: over the counter birth control pills, pregnancy tests, Plan B, N-95 masks (avian flu pandemic), over-the-counter medications, hormone therapies, and emergency kits open.substack.com/pub/andrawat...

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

Colman Domingo simply does not miss on the red carpet #BAFTAs

How about a little color this morning?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences. AKA That Time Kat Started An Antifascist Hallway Riot In The Third Grade. Grab your beverage of choice.

Don’t you just love how the people who wanted school open during the pandemic think we don’t need a Department of Education?

Absolutely beautiful tribute. #SNL50 #50Years youtu.be/fXAbLeJyB0o?...

I just saw someone refer to mansplaining as 'correctile dysfunction' so please excuse me while I laugh hysterically for 6 hours. 🤣🤣

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

Anytime a storm is brewing, your local forecasters are getting the latest data from NOAA. As the agency faces an uncertain future, one thing's for sure: for-profit companies would struggle to replicate NOAA's weather-forecasting prowess.

We just need to keep persevering…as ling as it takes! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YHM92L/

DISEASES ERADICATED OR DECIMATED BY SCIENCE: 1. Chickenpox 2. Diphtheria 3. Measles 4. Pertussis 5. Pneumococcal Infection 6. Polio 7. Tetanus 8. Typhoid 9. Yellow Fever 10. Smallpox DISEASES ERADICATED OR DECIMATED BY RFK JR. OR PRAYER: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

I love this idea!

Here’s what’s obvious: these unqualified, inexperienced people are swooping in, firing thousands of employees within hours. No analysis, no studying the situation, no learning who’s doing what and how, no understanding/learning how the agency works. It’s not about waste at all. It’s about revenge.

Legend says that when a snowflake, warmed by an angel’s breath, touched the cold, barren earth, it transformed into a beautiful flower. Its blooms became a symbol of hope & the promise of better days ahead—a light shining from darkness to gladden our hearts. #NationalSnowdropDay

Violas are the final birth flower for the month of February. This genus includes the dainty violets that grow wild in our hedgerows, and the pretty little viola and pansy “faces” that brighten up our garden planters in late-winter. They symbolise friendship, love and remembrance.

They’re doing project 2025, just like we said they would

This year's Super Bowl had everything: Flying facial hair & eyebrows, Christians demonstrating an impressive level of illiteracy of pop lyrics, the genesis of Taylor Swift's next breakup album, a subversive musical indictment of the American sociopolitical complex coalesced with Drake's memorial...

This goes in the Time Capsule for future me: Valentine's Day 2025: Eddie Vedder and Gaga sitting in for Michael Bolton and Justin Timberlake in a Lonely Island medley (that includes Laser Cats) is the best thing that's happened in the US this year so far. #pearljam #lonelyisland #snl #eddievedder

If you’re dealing with Long Covid - there’s a chance you’re also dealing with MCAS and/or POTS/Dysautonomia. They’re two of the most common comorbids - and can have a devastating impact on quality of life. New allergies? Alcohol intolerance? Dizziness? Fatigue? Fainting? A mega 🧵 of resources
