important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Completed current event vibes projects #stainedglass

My friend works for a department in NOAA. The lead scientist on her project team was told that he ought to take the retirement option now because he's likely out of a job. They all assumed his particular job was safe. She assumes her job going away in the next few months. #noaa #fednews

Not now, HBO

sure would be nice to have a congress

An elderly holocaust survivor confronts ICE and Tom Homan. His bravery after what he has experienced and endured shows his incredible indomitable spirit even the Nazis couldn’t crush. #MomSky

I wish I lived in a caring, thoughtful country where politics wasn't about winning an election next year, but helping our citizens this year.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

Thousands of people are ditching Tesla. Here’s one of them with a message you can see from space. Location: Black Rock Sands, Wales, UK By "Led By Donkeys"

These are (among) the stories that need to be told, by the people who are experiencing them, in ways that their families and communities can understand. If the sound is these attacks on science is silence… then clawing back what we’ve lost will be even harder, possibly impossible.

Defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe. If Elon doesn't understand that, maybe he should leave it to those of us who do.

When you want to be creative but also you read the news a lot. #stainedglass

This is the way.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Always wondered how the Star Wars Emperor could start with a battle-hardened army and end up with an "entire legion of his best troops" being beaten to death by teddybears with sticks. Then Hegseth ended up as US Defence Sec. And now yeah that makes sense.

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country." The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

My 2nd happy little Calcifer. #stainedglass

@theonion.com reporting facts

If you want to know how concerned to be about climate change, talk to a climate scientist. Very. If you want to know how concerned to be about the rise of fascism, talk to a historian. The ones I’ve spoken to are as concerned about our time as any other time in the last 100 years.

Project 2025 has been a clear plan from the start. And despite this plan telling us that the rules we've always abided by would be ignored, a counter-plan to meet the occasion was never formed. Decorum is killing democracy and it's time to change the rules of engagement.

This is great. www.theverge.com/news/617014/...
