"Shut the fuck up" applies to pictures, too.

US is probably going to shut down March 14 for an extended period. That plus all the job cuts? Passports, official stuff, whatever, do it now and pay expedited fees. wapo.st/3EMtui7

It’s beginning to come together for me as to why Elon is hellbent trying to destroy Wikipedia

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

It was a brief run, but few directors have ever had a one-two like George Armitage’s Miami Blues and Grosse Pointe Blank. RIP.

A new @reuters.com poll finds Americans have a dim view of many of the Trump administration's blizzard of executive actions, including the Jan. 6 pardons and his effort to limit birthright citizenship. But they *really* don't like the Gulf of America thing. www.reuters.com/world/us/ame...

Doing this right before firing three top military leaders is so deranged. Source at DoD told me, “Disdain for Hegseth is a near-universal feeling even among the Trumpiest in the office.“

Genuinely: I've been working on this story since November and went waaaay down some research rabbit holes to uncover NEW and SERIOUSLY FASCINATING information about the origins of pizza bagels.

For all you who continually whine “I’m not racist, I just think we need to have standards,” this is absorb this.No Black man could become head of the Joint Chiefs without meeting the standard. What they want is to harden a system of affirmative action for white guys.They what their grandfathers had.

"A swath of Airbnb hosts are ditching the platform in response to its billionaire co-founder Joe Gebbia going full MAGA since President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Gebbia joined Elon Musk’s doge last week. www.thedailybeast.com/airbnb-hosts...

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

I just found myself quoted in a Dutch publication, by someone I never talked to, with words I never said (even translated to English!)

free hint to blue state govs: automatically offer jobs in your own state's security services to the various cops, prosecutors and armed forces members that trump is unfairly drumming out. you will need people with guns who hate trump for what is coming next, and... there they are

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.

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

Better in the original German

It took six reporters to conclude that these numbskulls "don't fully understand" government contracting. For weeks now it has been patently obvious that not a one of them has even the faintest grasp of how procurement works.

The student who ripped this sign down did more for trans people than most of our politicians.

The refrain in Maine is Trump’s inane, insane.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

There are many deeply experienced online privacy experts on Bluesky. Does any one of them know Caro Robson? The quote she gave the BBC reads like a line from a government press statement. Her CV shows she’s split her work life between govt and private. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

He vomits garbage, but any briefly sustained pushback seems to cause him to lose interest.

Is bluesky more like holding court in a radicalized, kooky cult or is ejecting an acquaintance from your chateau in rural France for the sin of disrespecting Bari Weiss more like holding court in a radicalized, kooky cult?

The cars keep lurching to the far right.
