REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Do Americans want safe food? Which Departments are responsible for food safety? USDA HHS -> FDA and CDC Commerce -> NOAA (fisheries) If one Department is disabled, we don’t have safe food Enjoy your dinner 🍲

Some of you have inquired over on my Substack where you can find a list of all (organized in useful, searchable ways) the litigation over the Administration’s executive orders and other actions, since January 20,2025. A great tracker is at Just Security.

Many are asking: “What can I do now?” Here’s a revised and expanded list of actions you can take, in rough order of importance. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-on-what-you-can-do

Your Daily Affirmation: I pay homage to Justice and her little sister, Truth. Justice is blindfolded and wandering around with a sword and a scale, probably drunk, but Truth will lead her through. I hope. #also_waffles

The Great Dumbening is upon us.

Oh No! More Lemmings [2025] Released by: Hokuto Force Type: C64 Graphics (PETSCII) Released at: Fjälldata 2025 Awarded: 1st Place - Mixed Graphics Competition

Hope is kindled.

Ooooooh, pretty sure that's going to affect all of the outstanding board game kickstarters I backed (along with a whole lot of vastly more important stuff)...

JFC

reading every headline since the 20th be like

No quarter.

O Canada!

NEW: Trans service members say they want to fight for their country, not for their jobs “Our service should not be contingent on who holds political power at the time.” For @nbcnews.com: www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-...

If you are a straight, cis person and you feel that fucking knot in your stomach about what the administration is doing right now to trans people and trans children, you have to at the very fucking least say out loud in front of your friends and peers in real life "this is fucked up."

If, while reading this, it all sounds chillingly familiar, welcome to 2025 in America. I'm sharing this as a gift article (removing the paywall) because it's too important not to share. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

If I were the Senate or House Minority Leader, I would simply instruct every state and municipality and university in the nation that they should not halt spending at 5 PM today, that there is no need to comply with an illegal order, and that government services must go on.

if Democrats were smart they would open up a war room for democracy and maintenance of basic stability that is public facing and all it does is message on basic tenants of a free society and democracy as well as giving true fact-based reporting on what is going on as well as coordinating response

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Why are you and the Democrats not standing in the breach?! We're there waiting for reinforcements and y'all appear to be AWOL!

Mexico's President Sheinbaum condemning Donald Trump ICE ethnic cleansing campaign: "Let them hear this, and hear it clearly, Mexicans there sustain the economy of the United States in the countryside, in services, everywhere! The US wouldn't be what it is without the workers that go and help."

WIC. They are pausing WIC. That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings *in the same fiscal year.* For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.

apparently "We won't have a country anymore" was a campaign promise

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

US media is spinning this but this is a win for Petro and Latin America. He got what he wanted - more humane and dignified extradition without destroying Colombia’s poor economy for it - and blatantly, publicly mocked Trump with the politics equivalent of a Kendrick diss track.

Testing something. Hit ❤️ if you would participate in a coordinate national strike Actually participate. Stop work. Or Stop spending. And take to the streets to peacefully protest. Would you?

No foreign power has ever posed as massive and immediate a threat to the United States as the current administration.

Never forget that there is a high percentage of white ppl in this country who would rather see it destroyed than share it. I thought we were paying the price for electing Barack Obama, but now I know it’s deeper than that. We’re paying the price for the Civil Rights act of 1964.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

They're not Pokémon. You don't have to pardon them all.

Today, the gospel of Christ was spoken as John the Baptist spoke to Herod. Today, the Right Rev. Marian Edgar Budde looked into the face of a president and spoke to truth with the courage of a gladiator who defied an emperor. May we all find a portion of her courage. youtu.be/xwwaEuDeqM8?...

found on r/me_irlgbt, seemed relevant. stay strong. i love you all.

"We want to watch you make America great again." You're going to be shivering out in the cold for a very long time, dude.

BREAKING: TikTok is back up in the United States after an obvious kayfabe. They didn’t need to take it down. The did that on purpose so Trump could “restore” it. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

This is the GOP’s long con on full display.

Every day I'm shufflin' off this mortal coil.
