Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

GOP claim to be about state rights and small government, until they disagree with what the state wants. Maine Gov Mills is a badass for this #protecttranskids

Incredible. Rail fans at LA Union Station heckle and boo Duffy’s remarks at the press conference where he has announced an FRA investigation into CA High Speed Rail. They yell “Cowards!” “Build the Rail!” and “We Pay Taxes, We Want the Train!” #IWillRide

I love it when our nazi crackhead shadow president screams slurs at astronauts when they push back on his insane lies

why it's almost as if there's a well-funded authoritarian cabal working in global unison to dismantle democratic norms for their collective benefit by waging war on journalism, education, legal accountability, and informed consensus

Happy Black History Month

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

School play gets canceled for "inappropriate content". In response students write [REDACTED], their own anti-censorship play skewering the school district, sells out performances, and ultimately takes gold at the Lenaea High School Theatre Festival. www.kqed.org/arts/1397192...

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

“If the rules are such that you can’t make progress, then you have to fight the rules.” - Elon Musk, 2015 #CFPB @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @npr.org @politico.com

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

I submitted my opponent testimony to Ohio SB 1, a right wing takeover of higher ed. Today my colleagues will be testifying against it in person. All testimony will be public soon but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to sling Orwell back at them near the end of my take on “intellectual diversity”:

“Hitler's rise to power on 30 January 1933 was quickly followed by actions intended to cleanse the culture of so-called degeneracy: book burnings were organized, artists and musicians were dismissed from teaching positions, and museum curators were replaced by Party members”

Who is POTUS?

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.

I wrote about Google unveiling its 'responsible AI progress report' by quietly deleting the part of its AI principles where it promised not to work on weapons www.platformer.news/google-ai-pr...

What would happen in America if the masses deleted their #X accounts, #Meta accounts, #Amazon memberships, and #Instagram accounts? #socialmediaexodus #oligarchy #elonmusk #bezos #antifa #trump @georgetakei.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @mcuban.bsky.social @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money? Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.
