Weā€™re sending a team of firefighters from DNR to support wildfire response efforts in California. Ā  I'm proud of these emergency responders who are stepping up to provide critical support ā€” they're heroes who are protecting communities and saving lives.

The Air Force will no longer teach its recruits about the Tuskegee Airmen, Black pioneer pilots honored for their service during World War II. Also halted, teaching the history of Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, the female World War II pilots who were essential in ferrying warplanesā€¦

Stay safe, peeps - this is a banger of a safety tip. It's not without embarrassment for this country that I'm reposting this.

Why are so many journalists On Here and There inviting govt whistleblowers to reach out via insecure (work email and Bluesky DMs, among other things) means? You have an ethical obligation to direct potential sources someplace safe. At least INCLUDE a Signal or Proton contact.

Dead serious: Get garden seeds. Now. And starting this spring grow some of your own food. Greens, peppers, herbs, some root crops, squash, & cucumbers are fairly easy to grown. If nothing else grow some herbs. It will give you pleasure, both growing & enjoying them as you add them to your food.

ATTN: VA EMPLOYEES. I would recommend against using the Office of Accountability & Whistleblower Protection. In 2019, the VA Inspector General found that Trump used OAWP to TARGET whistleblowers. Contact democrats on congressional veterans affairs committees instead.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets forā€”that Mexico refused to acceptā€”cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time. To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

Gotta love the British press.

Pete Hegseth is a perfect example of why cabinet nominees require Senate confirmation, and the fact that heā€™ll be confirmed is as damning as anything you could ever say about Republican Senators

Fact-check..

I do not trust someone who shot a puppy to treat immigrants humanely.

The sooner the better.

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/revisiting...

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night. I know weā€™re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

Wow. šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„ This new bombshell Oxfam report is exactly what billionaires donā€™t want us to know: Apparently 60% of global billionaire wealth comes not from entrepreneurshipā€¦ ā€¦but from inheritance, corruption, cronyism & monopolies. Share the truth:

And @teenvogue.bsky.social ran that fabulous op-ed about how to set up a neighborhood ICE watch program in your community we referenced on @dailybeanspod.bsky.social! Give them a follow!

If only these creditors would move to foreclose instead of trying to dump their debt assets on the open market and turn it into someone else's problem.

Iā€™m so pleased, a car just pulled up and visited my LittleFreeLibrary! I love that I have one!

Iā€™ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids couldā€™ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. Itā€™s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.

šŸšØ Today Target said it will end its three-year DEI goals, stop reports to external diversity-focused groups like the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index and end a program focused on carrying more products from Black- or minority-owned businesses. You guys know what to do?!
