As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Block doomsayers. We are already stressed and exhausted as it is. Don't need to hear anyone tell us "Nothing is going to help" of "If there's even a midterm" or "It's too late" BLOCK THAT SHIT!!! Stop talking about the Boy who Cried Wolf and let's remember that in Pandora's Box there's always hope.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

You know where you can go and not worry about breaking the economic blackout today? Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!

I love that the whole world has united in absolute hatred of Musky and that we have collectively made it our mission to destroy Tesla. I love that for him.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

It really is reasonable to ask how we could possibly ever forgive our fellow Americans for voting for what is happening to us right now and what is going to continue to happen for years and years. I mean the simple answer would be... we just don't, right? Ever? Because some things are unforgivable?

Let's make this happen!!!

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Put all the “DEI” folks who got let go onto a new network and I’d watch the shit out of it.

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

Cancelling @joyannreid.bsky.social means the door she held open for the next generation of Black voices will slam shut. Without her, the next her, won't get platformed by white media. That, of course, is why white media pushed her out. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I can't believe the racist purge at MSNBC! I love Joy Reid and Katie Phang!!!

New MSNBC Bloodbath of Non-White Anchors After Joy Reid Forced Out

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

The outpouring of support has been overwhelming and incredibly moving. 💙 The @katiephangshow.bsky.social will air until Saturday, April 19th! So until then, if you can, please continue to tune in and watch. I’m always grateful for the privilege of your time.

From now on, my new forever favorite sports team will always be the Philadelphia Eagles. And I don't even like football.

We need to normalize not idolizing anyone. No human should be placed on a pedestal. No human is perfect. Even the worthiest of humans is not safe from big head syndrome which leads to the creation of some of the worst people and the abuse of power at all levels. And it starts with idolatry.

Following Trump’s rollout of anti-trans executive orders, Hunter Schafer said in the video that she was “scared of the way this stuff gets slowly implemented,” citing the precedent of “historical rises of fascism and everything this new administration represents.”

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Me every single day this year:

Money talks

But first they ban books

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Hello universe, I would like to stop living in interesting times. Give me boring, hum drum, nothing's happening, watching water boil times. Let's go back to being absolutely brain numbingly bored by the news. Please.

I know it's hard to write when the fear of book bans & soft censorship looms over all BIPOC & LGBTQ writers. Especially middle grade authors who can't get into schools to promote their books anymore. Book bans are doing exactly what they want-stopping us from writing. DON'T LET THEM! KEEP WRITING!

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

“Despite the demands of Trump, Leavitt, and Big Brother, the AP is not changing their style to suit the whims of a would-be tinpot dictator. And by defying Trump, the AP has created a rallying point for other organizations and individuals to find their spines and defy him as well.”

Nothing to see here.

Since the election, there has been a surge in cybertruck sightings in the DMV. It's all too much for me. My middle fingers are starting to cramp really bad these days.
