After Musk is done, someone's going to have to run for office with the slogan "Make America Again."

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law. 2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc. 3. Be public about how illegal all of this is 4. Lay out a plan

I wonder if any of the hardcore right-wingers who were claiming that Dems wanted to move to digital currency will have thoughts about putting the dollar on the blockchain. I'm sure plenty of them will do the mental gymnastics to love it, but I hope at least some feel betrayed by the proposal.

"This legislation does not give parents in Butte County — or most other rural Idaho counties — any more choices than they already have. What it does do is subsidize (and prioritize) education for folks who already send their kids to private schools..." www.idahostatesman.com/opinion/read...

“We’ll pull the rug out from under them later.” Idaho’s voucher proponents are admitting openly that their end game is to defund our public schools. It was never about “school choice.” #idpol

Clarence Thomas's first public scandal occurred in 1980, when he was a no-name aide to a GOP senator and complained to a journalist that his sister just waited by the mailbox for her welfare check Thomas smeared his own sis, whining to a conference of Black conservatives (and journalist Juan …

House Rejects Republicans' Plan to Avert Government Shutdown, backed by Trump Bill fails 174 to 235. Thirty-eight Republicans voted against the measure, which Trump had called on his party to back. Big defeat for President Musk and Vice President Trump.

The existence of trans and queer people is not inappropriate for any age to know about

Reminder: calling Musk the "First Lady" or otherwise using femininity as an insult normalizes considering women less than men. It doesn't matter who it targets, it ends up harming women.

"You can't fire me; I quit!" is a sentiment that never really makes sense, but it especially doesn't make sense when everyone would be aware that your termination was entirely political. It's not like he's going to struggle to explain it when he applies for his next job.

Statistically, you spend most of your time playing Among Us looking for the killer... I guess that explains going after a health insurance CEO.

Music streaming services should allow you to set a few bands/artists that you absolutely never want to hear. My musical preferences lead every streaming service to offer me Neutral Milk Hotel, which makes me irrationally angry. I don't want to downvote several songs, I just want it gone immediately.

If you post photos, I strongly suggest going to the accessibility settings and turning on the setting to require apt text before posting. Alt text helps people and it's helpful to have a reminder so you don't accidentally skip that step.

I wish I had known this when I was denied, but I'm gonna keep this in mind for any future issues.

Remember, any talk of assisting anyone in getting healthcare across state lines needs to be secure. Do not discuss your plans in public spaces or across unencrypted channels digitally. Don't trust social media messaging platforms. Be careful.

No matter how your state and country treat trans people, you can and should, at a minimum, do your best to address people with the name and pronouns they use. It costs nothing to be decent. If you think your kid is going through a phase? Support them! Let them try on an identity!
