WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Wake up, Governors. The states ARE the country and blue states are financially essential to red states. Use that leverage.

Idiocracy was a documentary

Worst. Episode. EVER.

No idea if this is true

At the end of a week with next to no laughter, I really appreciated this on Friday 😂

Thoroughly reported article on the rising use of drones by Maryland's local law enforcement agencies by @codyboteler.bsky.social Perhaps the most interesting part: an ACLU expert opines that Montgomery Co's drone program has decent privacy protections. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/cr...

In South Carolina, tonight: “I have an ectopic pregnancy. It’s on my ovary. They’re making me risk my ovary even though I don’t want to. They refuse to do the surgery.” #ForcedBirthNation Original Post: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2yCKENt/

I am thankful every day that #elonmusk is not handsome, has no charisma, no talent, and is dragging that shitty personality around behind him. Without money we would pay him no mind whatsoever.

Joan Bennett. After going brunette for "Trade Winds" (1938), she intended to continue as a blonde afterwards. But the reaction to the change was so positive, she wore the brunette wig for her next few films before actually going brunette. You can always tell the wig by the widow's peak.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

The biggest line item on the site of Musk’s cost-cutting team appears to include an error. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.” I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

The mid-Atlantic generates about $2 trillion or 14% of the economy. (Feel free to check my math). The old saying “Cutting off your nose to spite your face” comes to mind. Remind me again how smart the douche…sorry, intentional typo I won’t correct…guy is?

Musk’s bizarre anti-USAID bias is down to USAID’s help ENDING APARTHEID. This asshole is a Bond villain. the.ink/p/usaid-foug...

This is re: Trump's EO to ban trans persons from the military. Reyes is a federal judge. If I got this etherized in court I'd walk into the fucking sea. bsky.app/profile/mike...

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

MAGA acts like finding fraud in government is some new thing DOGE invented. They aren’t good at it, but experts who were let go were.

I have stuck with these useless, untalented democratic politicians thru thick and thin. Now I’ll bring the matches to burn this motherf##cker to the ground and start over. What a useless party.

Ugh

Sheryl Crow has sold her Tesla and donated the proceeds to NPR. “My parents always said... you are who you hang out with”

This is exactly the sentiment used to justify atrocity by despots for all of human history.

CDC source: “We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff. They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”
