Oh look, a government that is acting normal about a possible pandemic.

Literally can’t believe Mike Pence is part of the resistance. Not on my bingo card, but OK.

Had a complete and total meltdown about my flight tomorrow. Straight up panic attack. Cried on and off for three hours. Called my parents hysterical. Any advice @petebuttigieg.bsky.social?

Long live the king. He literally thinks he’s the king. JFC.

I just got the most unhinged message on FB from a guy who used to live in my apartment building saying that all my posts seem “angry that Trump won” — and that he thinks I’m overreacting. He’s a Cuban immigrant, by the way. And his wife is pregnant. And they live in Texas now.

THIS IS INSANE DYSTOPIAN SHIT.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

The Times spoke to people being trapped inside a Panama hotel after deportation from the US and the individual stories of horror are almost too much to bear www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

When you look at your ballot on April 1, you’ll choose between two names: Josh Weil and Randy Fine. Fine wants to gut Social Security, and healthcare, putting millions of Florida seniors at risk. Me? I’ll fight tirelessly for Social Security and healthcare. secure.actblue.com/donate/weil-...

BREAKING: Trump and Musk just CUT funding for 9/11 survivors -- and firefighters, police, and first responders The World Trade Center Health Program was just cut by 20% and forced to lay off staff -- and slash critical care So much for NEVER FORGET.

So you do believe in DEI, you just don’t understand the definition of it?

I hope the folks who elected this complete traitor get the chance to vote him out. A doctor who put an anti-vax conspiracy theorist in charge of health and now supporting a Jan. 6th sympathizer. Unreal.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

In a world full of companies doing shitty things, be like Chewy. Bought Poppy a new carrier for our flight and it’s definitely a smidge too small — instead of making me jump through hoops to return it, they’ve refunded me and asked me to donate it to a local shelter or rescue — like always. 💕

Guess what? If you’re ableist and going to try to act like I don’t have a disability because I look normal, you’re getting blocked. I’m immunocompromised, I have multiple autoimmune diseases, I have severe anxiety. Sometimes I do not have the mental capacity or energy to walk into a store.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

The next thing Donny and fElon will try to privatize ⬇️

So far, every time Elon Musk has announced he has found widespread fraud, he has been swiftly proven wrong.

If only we had a way to prevent this totally preventable virus 🤔🤔🤔

All so he can get another private gov’t contract and line his own pockets.

🚨OH HELL NO! ‘DOGE appears to have busted their way into the Social Security Administration, forcing the resignation of the acting commissioner, Michelle King, when she resisted their demands to give DOGE access to Agency’s most sensitive government records’. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

This didn’t age too well.

Not just jailing reporters — but jailing reporters at literally *THE MOST RESPECTED* newsmagazine in the world.

Hackers have illegally accessed our most private information and only half of America seems to care.
