Steve Bannon whipped up the CPAC crowd by talking about the possibility of Trump staying in office for a third term—and concluded his speech by giving a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month.

Huh, got a response from one of my senators this evening. Seems I just had to ask about it here to get an emailed response!

Read this thread, then contact your reps to tell them to oppose the SAVE Act

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Let's check in on Trump's first month in office! (Gift link: wapo.st/434l8fD )

This is a real pretending-Bluesky-is-old-Twitter request but: I’m looking for two tickets to the NT Live screening of The Importance of Being Earnest tonight at the Coolidge Corner Cinema, if anyone in the Boston area has tickets but can’t use them.

How long, on average, does it take to hear back from a representative? I've called and emailed and indicated that I would like a response, but I haven't gotten anything back.

The new administration has vowed to reduce wasteful government spending, so I made this guide to help people understand how that works.

Primary is of the few companies going out of their way to make kids clothes that are truly gender neutral. They often have genderfluid modeling, along with going out of their way to have Black and disabled models. They launched an adult collection today and I thought some might be interested ☺️

This is fucking incredible.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

Again, Trump fired SBA Inspector General Mike Ware after he found $200 billion in fraud in Trump's COVID programs and returned $40B to the US Treasury. Instead, Trump brought in a bunch of fascist boys who know nothing about accounting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Another one, just as Trump has fired hundreds at the FAA

This is Monica Helms the creator of the Trans Flag . [Image Description: A woman wears a hat, glasses, and a black T-shirt. The shirt has US Navy submarine insignia and the following text: I'm a transgender Navy veteran. I kept the Russians from blowing your dumb ass up. End ID].

Fired: CDC's most recently hired Epidemic Intelligence Services officers – the people who fight disease outbreaks. They are not mere "probationary" staff. They are "Fellows" who are physician-scientists in a globally recognized applied epidemiology training program.

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

Anyway Happy Valentine's Day, nerds.

Pretty rude for it to only be Thursday

If you are a fellow audiobook lover who is trying to get away from supporting Amazon, libro.fm is a great alternative to audible. I hate learning new apps but it is super easy, the same price as Audible, and you can use the files to make Yoto cards

They’re doing the meme

Listening to the opening track, “Black Monday” on this new album from Canadian singer-songwriter AHI. It is a balm. If you need a little uplift, check this one out.

I had read that Musk bought Superbowl ads to speak out against "waste" in departments...did those actually air? I never saw anything like that yesterday.

I do think it’s funny when the car companies are like “we may be divided but now more than ever, I think we can all agree: car ❤️”

Reminder that while the “He Gets Us” ads pretend to be “inclusive”/care about everyone, up until 2024, the group that ran them (The Servant Foundation) donated over $60 million to an anti-abortion, anti-contraception, anti-LGBT rights conservative legal advocacy group (Alliance Defending Freedom).
