Turns out DOGE is more than just a fake agency, it’s cuts are fake too. A dog and pony show. Uncover the truth behind the fake “savings” and the real cost to taxpayers… like… your information. Watch now: m.youtube.com/watch?v=-8YR...

Today is the day we honor those who died overseas stopping the same thing many of you are ignoring here at home--fascism.

Sesame Street is officially UNION! Workers at Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, have voted 55-19 to join @opeiulocal153.bsky.social Huge congrats to @sesameworkersunion.bsky.social! “We can officially say that today, May 15th, is brought to you by the letter U!”

The anti-due process White House is saying we just need to trust the judgment of quota driven ICE goons who have already been caught repeatedly getting it wrong.

Why it’s time we change how we talk about conspiracy theories www.cnn.com/2025/05/03/p...

“Terry. Terry. I am the Pope. Did you see the picture? The hat? The beautiful white hat? The tremendous cross? Get him the picture.”

In case you hadn't noticed:

Gun registry? No. Autism registry? Yes? Fuck ALL the way off.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Thou shalt march on Washington by the millions and not leave until the Mad King is deposed.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

In "How Democracies Die," Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt wrote that democratic backsliding "begins at the ballot box." Strongmen get democratically elected, then turn institutions into "political weapons, wielded forcefully by those who control them against those who do not."

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

A little good news…

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

The United States is going to remain in thrall to fascism for the next 40 years at least, until every fucking baby boomer & many of my fellow Gen Xers are dead. There is no opposition. 99.93% of currently elected @democrats.org are either spineless, feckless cowards or in the tank for billionaires.

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now Thanks for your service to our country

don't act surprised when militants treat american civilians as legitimate targets. the US has been killing entire buildings full of people on the basis that some guy's girlfriend lived there; this is just the first time we see a text screenshot of the vice president immediately replying "excellent".

Pete Buttigieg has entered the chat.

Yoooo, @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov, where you at?

Circling back on this…

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

Schoolchildren are routinely slaughtered by AR-15s. Hundreds die. [*crickets* "Thoughts and prayers" *crickets*] A couple unoccupied cars are set on fire. No one is hurt. ["THIS HORROR WILL NOT STAND!!! We MUST act to STOP it from ever happening AGAIN!!!!" We will pass new LAWS BANNING IT!!!]

Apartment with Deep Pile Carpet $500/m A Couple Paintings from Sears $75 Big Water Bed $36,000 Utility $150 someone who is good at the economy please help us budget this. The money has gotten tight and we just didn't count on the tears.

The fascism we are experiencing is an EMERGENCY. It needs to be responded to with lightening speed. The courts are helping, but lightening speed is not their thing. They weren't designed for that. So we all need to do more to respond. Get angry. Get organized. Get creative. Get vocal.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

It gets worse. Schumer isn’t just going on a book tour—he’s charging for tickets. Absolute insanity. While Americans are scared and in crisis mode, he’s basically saying, let them eat cake. @schumer.senate.gov Step Down.

We spent nearly 8 minutes this morning trying to set the record straight on a number of health matters. I’d expect the Surgeon General or NIH Director to do this, but since they’re not, here it is in 4 clips. #medsky

Release Luigi and let him get back to his important work.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Of course.
