AGEISM

Gulf of Distraction

NEW: An internal email obtained by WIRED from a threat intelligence team monitoring US Treasury systems advised labeling DOGE operatives an "insider threat," adding that it recommended suspending their access "immediately." | www.wired.com/story/treasu...

A MUST READ

NEW: The removal of the DOJ’s Jan. 6 database signals the Trump administration’s intention to not only spare his supporters any further consequences for their role in the riot, but to erase the event from the record. By @alecmac.bsky.social

I’ve got the morning shift. This guy is dangerous and unfit to serve and I’m about to explain why. Tune in: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

The more practice they get lying and not answering questions the better they're going to get at it. This guy just needs more practice. 💁🏻‍♀️

It's not raining 😁

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

This is shaping up to be the largest of the events outside Senator Padilla's San Francisco District Office asking him to start fighting with every tool available. 12:45pm on Wednesday, outside 333 Bush St San Francisco. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Longer-term perspective on the rise of US oligarchy

NEW VIDEO. "What Graham Hancock Wants You to Ignore: Real Archaeology in the Ice Age"premieres in 90 minutes on my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YWi...

Now let's see who enforces it. I like the win, I hope it matters.

I dunno I don't trust a lot of doctors and generally prefer nurse practitioners unless I need a specialist. This is exactly what I expect from most MDs.

A 77-year-old Asian woman with Alzheimer’s has been missing since Monday morning. She was last seen at 9 a.m., taking the No. 14 Muni from her residence on the 3300 block of 25th Street to Chinatown. missionlocal.org/2025/02/sfpd...

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

Read AND COPY if that wasn't already obvious

Senators need to find their spines now. They are going to regularly be individually targeted by mobs rallied by Co-President Musk.

🧵 THREAD: Trump and Rubio have arrested the international humanitarian aid system and forced lifesaving aid programs to completely halt operations — despite an announcement earlier in the week claiming they had changed course. 1/

eeesh. this tweet is from one week ago.

The usuals celebrating 5 years of Brexit while they squeeze their eyes shut and close their ears to the crappy reality of their stupid ideology. Taking a showy bow for being awarded a national Darwin Award 5 years on the run. Meanwhile, the rest of the country agrees it’s been utter rubbish.

First new kind of pain med approved in decades but it's $15.50 per pill and what are the odds UHC is going to cover that on Tier 4? If at all. www.cnbc.com/2025/01/30/f...

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

only appropriate political response here is to demand the white house explain how its actions aren’t responsible www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

This is the future the Effective Altruists want

It'd be a shame if the terms "swasticars" and "Muskolini" caught on. #swasticars #Muskolini

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

REPORTER: Is there an acting FAA director? DUFFY: *walks away* (The FAA director resigned on the day of Trump's inauguration under pressure from Elon Musk)

Nazi salute. Call it what it is.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Everything feels a bit upside down today

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Both suspects attended the prestigious Lakeside School in Seattle, studied computer science, and appear to sympathize with fringe Bay Area group described as a “murder gang.”

The pilea just started growing like this

Bully cult

All the people who were bullies when I was growing up are MAGA now.
