Seems warcrimey.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

History has strong lessons here.

He nails it.

😃 Major grocery retailers in Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino County still supporting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts: ---Albertson's - owner of Safeway ---Costco ---Grocery Outlet ---Raley's - owner of Raley's, Nob Hill and Bel Air ---Sprouts 1/3

Reuters is reporting that Ukraine has been notified that Elon will shut off Starlink access to Ukrainian Armed Forces unless Zelensky signs the rare earth minerals paperwork. 100% extortion.

Exactly and entirely this.

In clear contradiction of 'first do no harm'.

Note who got fired.

Wouldn’t it be great if the Senate pushed back just this once?

yooo I was just cited in a federal opinion & I'm ecstatic! I argued that the Supreme Court's originalist guns jurisprudence is asinine so lower court judges don't know how to apply it, & in footnote 17 this judge is like YEAH lmao www.scribd.com/document/823... ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/secon...

If you're feeling overwhelmed, I really hope this reaches you today.

"Trump Is Planning to Take Control of the Postal Service, Officials Say" The USPS employs around 600,000 people. Think about the hit to our economy, let alone the employees. BTW: The government doesn't fund the USPS. This is pure privatizing graft. Gift link. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Can We say illegal as Hell?

🚨 JUST IN: Canada DEFEATS the USA 3-2 to take home the #4Nations  Championship

“put it on his fucking gravestone”

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

The American university system is a pillar of American strength and leadership. What is being done is a massive self inflicted wound. Reform wisely and deliberately. Not this way.

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically. We don’t come from the consultant class, we get zero legacy media hype, we don’t get invited on shows & don’t want to be on TV, no big money donors writing checks. It all happened one person at a time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Of course. But being the party standing up for those fired will mean a lot to those fired and their families. It will also show the country that they are trying to bring order to chaos. And if they can get any Republican support at all, that's huge leverage for March 14

If you’re ever in public while high on ketamine, this DEA pamphlet suggests you might want want to wear sunglasses, even indoors. www.dea.gov/sites/defaul...

"People are crying — these people have children," "Everyone has bills — everyone has to put food on the table. We still have to survive." "This is a paradigm shift," the official continued. "The world of government as you knew it, it's gone." www.npr.org/2025/02/11/n...

The FO part is about to get very real.

"Whoever believes that there is any space for Vladimir Putin in the future of a stable globe better go to Ukraine.... They better invest the time to understand that this man is a cancer and the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime." — Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBEv...

Dark skies reflect my sadness at the firings of all the humans that help keep the #GreatLakes as healthy as possible. Tonight I mourn the loss of the 14 @usfws.bsky.social employees that kept the invasive sea lamprey at bay. My fishery will be hurt. 😢😢🌊🌊

I wonder what sort were on that list? Gods save us.

Without friends

I remember that, yeah.

Kash Patel was confirmed as the FBI Director, which completes Trump's handover of America to Putin. As a child who practiced bomb drills in school in case Russia attacked us during the Cold War, this sickens me. #ProudBlue #PutinsPuppet #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Unfit. Scarily so.

This is part of why the Ukrainians dare not surrender and why American support for Russia is basically evil.

Worse just got worse

Every avoidable death is blood on MAGA hands.

This is all about profit, controlling information/communication, and controlling the vote.

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

If only some of the GOP understand had a spine.
