Shit is being stirred up everywhere and I think these right wing assh*les have no idea how few people actually want what they're doing.

I love Ed Yong's voice and work. This interview is phenomenal. Particularly, his redefinition of what burnout looks like and means really hit me in the chest. (I tried to gift this but I've given away my ten allocated gift articles here already this month.) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

$40 million to DOGE as they slash people’s livelihoods and lifelines in the name of “efficiency.”

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

There’s always an origin story for the worst people in history where they could have been stopped if someone had just said NO instead of “keep your enemies closer” or “let just see if we can work with him.”

Extortion, pure and simple.

Hegseth is going to fire every woman or Black person in military leadership.

Wow. This is a very big deal. We’ll see if it sticks, but I’m sure @marcelias.bsky.social is ready with a contempt motion if necessary.

Ah yes, use Pete Hegseth to arbitrarily rip apart the military and then install retired and unqualified stooges in their place the military is going to love this for sure

We lost someone in my extended family to pancreatic cancer three weeks ago. She was my age. This could be miraculous if only the funding is there and the lunatics on top don’t get in the way.

All these things happened too this week. It’s important to not lose hope. This is just the beginning. Good things are happening, and they will grow.

On Thursday, we honored the Haitian Bridge Alliance for their relentless fight for immigrant families. The very next day, the Trump administration moved to strip Temporary Protected Status from 500,000+ Haitians. This is a cruel and direct attack on working people.

these clowns are genuinely not prepared for the violent backlash that's coming their way once the cascading failures from destroying government agencies and the social safety net start to manifest in concussive, very unsubtle waves

Remember six years ago when everyone said it was so out of line to call what he was doing “concentration camps”? I do. Yeah. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Guarding a concentration camp isn't the kind of thing most people want to sign up for. Along with a racist effort to purge officers who aren’t white, military recruiting is going to tank and the ensuing national security crisis will be entirely self-inflicted www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

I did pro bono work for Whitman Walker in the late nineties. This absolutely breaks my heart. They were ground zero in the AIDS crisis in DC and this should not be who they are. Staggeringly bad decision.
