Who has SolarPunk and/or Utopian fiction to recommend?

Important to stop phrasing & headlining things as "Trump does XXX" (e.g. "Trump fires all USPS heads and integrates it under Commerce"); we can simply say he is purporting to do XXX, or claiming the power to do XXX. Mere fact of a president saying he did something doesn't will it into existence.

Despite having 2 school kids, we've had very few illnesses since 2020 (yay masks), and the ones that have made it through our precautions have tended to be serious (2 bouts of Covid from outdoor transmission, 1 flu from an enclosed car) So when I say I've forgotten how miserable a common cold is?

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

There are many mysteries and ambiguities in life but the nature of this gesture is not among them. It's a Nazi salute.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

Going to be quite frank, I do not find anything about this “king” stuff to be funny in any form, don’t think there’s a place for us to just crack wise about it and pretend it’s normal, yes we are all irony-poisoned but if we don’t draw a line here then we have no line

I thought that this was fake but I just went to the official White House Facebook page and there it is. We don't have kings. We're Americans. We fought a whole ass war about it. I'm actually sick to my stomach.

Friendly reminder to get your free Covid tests before they throw them away. Covidtests.gov wapo.st/42VLGQh

It’s not a “savings” if you’re getting fewer services in exchange. I’m still paying the same taxes!

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

TikTok has heard of my love for The Pitt and now I'm getting so many Noah Wyle edits and...I'm not mad at it.

This week, approximately 200,000 federal workers have been let go.

A picture tells 1000 words

I worked SO HARD to get my asthma under control - I fought it for 2.5 months with every tool I had, and I BEAT IT. I got 2 weeks of full health. Now I have caught the flu my little brother brought home from school (despite all precautions), and symptom #1 is a painful cough. I'm so sad.

This is not a novel observation, but I'm just struck by it again: the administration of "merit, not DEI" has put a series of white male teenagers in charge of many federal agencies with resumes that consist entirely of internships at the Heritage Foundation or SpaceX or wherever.

Congrats to polio

Alexis Ohanian reading Serena's haters to absolute FILTH every single time someone comes at her and/or their relationship gives me LIFE. May that kind of love find us all.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

BREAKING: House Republicans have released their budget resolution. They are aiming to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion, and cut SNAP by at least 20%.

Anyone who wonders about Doug Wilson and CREC needs to listen to this podcast, but Tia's story in particular

Does anyone know if this protest is happening at the Colorado Springs Tesla dealership? #COX #Colorado #ColoradoSprings #TeslaTakeDown

Please post the locations you are targeting for #TeslaTakedown protests this Saturday! I'm getting outreach from major media interested in covering these demonstrations, so let's let them know where they can go to hear your voice. If you are in NYC, LA, Chicago, or DC, please sound off below 👇

The thought of another Pandemic (this time under RFK Jr….Trump, and Musk) is hard to comprehend. www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...

I know we're absolute light years beyond this, but the fact that that man is the president when he has been in violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution every. single. day. that he's been in office is *bonkers* to me. If the opposition party had a single vertebrae we wouldn't be here.

Paradise gives real big Lost-Season-One vibes, and I stg if they reveal at the end that the whole thing is a dream I'll riot

So here's a thought. What if all the rest of the White House press corps stopped showing up until the AP's reinstated?

"Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office." www.ap.org/the-definiti...

1/This may truly blowup #KashPatel nomination On left: Patel Testimony: "I'm not aware" of purge inside DOJ/FBI and "don't know what's going on." On right: Whistleblowers tell Senate that Patel was directing the purge! Contemporaneous note: “KP wants movement at FBI, reciprocal actions for DOJ”

If you're in one of these states, please badger your AG. It's surprising how few constituent phone calls it takes for them to feel pressured. And this suit needs to die before it kills disabled people.

Oh my gosh. This is why he wants to shut down infectious disease research. He doesn't believe in germs. Holy smokes. The man doesn't believe in Germ Theory. And he's going to be in charge of HHS

There has been a shift in the Trump team's language in their anti-DEI attacks. All of a sudden they started calling it "DEIA", with the A being "accessibility". If you don't think it's a coordinated effort to remove disabled people from every facet of life, well I have news for you.

Trump officially ignoring the orders of federal judges. It is time to call it what it is. This is a coup. youtu.be/bkP4aWMOmHM?...
