here's today's post: "bizarros, freaks and incels gather at buffoonpalooza" — the CPAC circus is in town. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

Congrats to @bsky.app and all the users and team that make it unique ! 32m users is real !

Problematic indeed. We’re here worshipping freedom and democracy and Herr Turdstain is still over there worshipping money.

That wouldn’t be cricket now would it. Good thing we’re no longer playing that game.

The shareholders at Tesla would probably like to ask a similar question: "Elon, what did you get done for us last week, other than further alienating our most likely customers with your obnoxious fascist stunts?

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

The resistance runs deep. Go Birbs!!

Dear OPM FOIA staff - Remember to preserve all of these email responses, as we will be submitting FOIA requests for this consolidated compilation of information on what the entire federal government did last week. Thx - FOIA community

Stand up and be counted.

Smells like another court case coming. In the interim: malicious compliance.

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

“…almost treasonous” is such a mealy mouthed Romney fence-walk.

Waking up and standing up to be counted.

He nails it.

Congrats Bluesky on 32 MILLION users!!! Give up the Muskrat, and come to where the skies are blue.

83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

Standing up to be counted.

To be on brand the new CJCS should be Michael Flynn.

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

Exquisite. This is how you explain Herr Turdstain’s approach to Republicans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk0n...

Judges cannot lead, but they can rule.

Hitler was also a drug addict.

Canadian military recruitment is way up.

Uugghh!! Bang on, but what if terribly flawed but courageous Johnson becomes the next Churchill? We could do worse.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Fun fact: Today is my 666th day on Bluesky. I've been having a devilishly good time since I've been here. To celebrate this sinister accomplishment, I have made a donation to Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Here's to the next 666 days! www.au.org

We ready to crush the right yet? Asking for a nation.

Harshest possible punishment…has a nice ring to it.

Nature is the best engineer 🕸️

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

It’s never about the money; it’s about character and principles.

Governor Mills of Maine…YOU'RE A FREAKIN ROCK STAR !

My guess is the line of volunteers is getting longer every day.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

The kindness shown by participants of Bluesky is heartwarming. It's kind of weird to realize that y'all are nicer than my physical neighbors. MAGATS' level of cruelty is sometimes shocking yet unsurprising. Carry on, stay hydrated, and stay safe out there 💃💃💃
