I keep thinking about this too. How it is impacting funding for grad schools being able to support these cohorts…

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

I really should write a bunch of poems about Costco bc I know in my bones I could do that

Did you eat and take your meds? Did you drink water? Did you scratch the vet tech when they tried to take your temperature?

its not GREAT but it is very FUNNY that the richest man in the world is trying to big time federal employees. like, okay, get ready to receive 25,000 emails that say "I delivered the mail"

It’s been wild to see so many headlines about the firings at the Joint Chiefs of Staff and none of them explicitly saying “Trump fired the one Black person and the one woman so he could have an all white male Joint Chiefs”

So if you get that OPM email, my only advice is to recognize (1) it is asking you to give them an excuse to fire you (2) it will be processed by an LLM. If you want to leave, good luck to you, thank you for your service. If not, reply in a way designed to not give their LLM bot those free excuses.

He's not. We saw this when he enshittified twitter. He will use some to mock people as they're fired, as in 'can you believe how useless this person is' This also serves to demotivate others, in an attempt to get them to leave on their own. All this is in Project 2025; make them miserable plan

Definitely don’t rickroll them

please call this what it is, which is government-sanctioned abuse, rape and murder

Y’all, use the right words for things pls

You think CPAC will use the same "subtle" Nazi symbolism stage design again for 2025? Or will they go all in and use a swastika?

Ive said it before but Ill say it again Gardening is a lot of fun and growing things is nice but also you learn a valuable lesson which is: I would absolutely starve to death if I needed to grow all of my own food

No way out but through, folks

i absolutely believe this is where we are headed. this has always been the playbook. sartre wrote in 1945 that they delight in their own bad faith. in 2017, andrew anglin made it the official editorial policy for his nazi blog. it’s always “just a joke,” but the punchline is actual violence.

We need to dust off these songs that we were raised on for such a time as this. A Civil Rights Era classic... www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdKE...

yeah (: the US finally gave a conditional approval.... earlier this week (: bsky.app/profile/sara...

The program is set for the @barrelhouse.bsky.social conference in DC on 4/12/25 and there's something for everyone: craft workshops & panels on fiction, nonfiction, poetry, publishing, writing life (and how to manage it in All This Bullshit). Hope to see you there! www.barrelhousemag.com/conference

Is the legacy media going to report on the Nazi salutes at CPAC or....?

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

At the point in this godforsaken winter where nothing brings me any real enjoyment and the only thing that will fix me is the coming of spring

Loved getting to celebrate @sarahjones.bsky.social and her book tonight at P&P!

I think it was interesting there was an appetite for loudly talking about how trans people didn’t lose democrats the 2024 election in December and now that Trump is legally trying to out trans people on our identity documents cultural commentary doesn’t seem ready to have the energy to yell about it

I’ll admit I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the time a couple of skinheads with swastikas on their jackets showed up at a punk show I was at: A bunch of people beat the shit out of them, and they left! Sometimes the simple answer is the right answer.

Extortion. Again.

Whitman Walker states in this article that they are not stopping gender affirming care services. They’re just removing them from the website. 1) let’s be careful to be precise about the facts that we are discussing here

The ripples will touch all of us

Welcome to today's episode of Shut The Fuck Up Friday! Check out this video for some tips from a local lawyer for those of you headed out to the streets to protest. You're a target of the state when you take action. NEVER talk to police & always STFU! Full video in thread👇

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

I'm digging down details on a few stories, but I'm very interested in hearing from any federal employees or contractors: * who are just seeing DOGE folks coming into your agencies now * about what has happened in the wake of a DOGE bomb: rehires, canceled programs, big changes, etc. Signal: crg.32

Bad messaging: We need to educate our constituents so they know we don't have any power. Good messaging: We will do everything possible to protect our constituents and democracy, we hear their concerns, and we're going to tell them daily how they can help us oppose autocracy.

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.
