The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach. www.tsunami.gov

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

This Fourth Estate--what is this Fourth Estate that you speak of? Other than a few indepedent media outlets here and there, I am amazed at the eunuch brigade we have in newsrooms. They are just allowing their power to be run over roughshod while their billionaire owners laugh and sneer at democracy.

WTAF is going on here?

We need the best communicators among the Democrats to speak to the public on a regular basis, much like governors did during COVID. This is becoming more urgent as the lawlessness and lies accelerate and it gets harder for people to know what’s true. This should include Pete Buttigieg. Who else?

he's a 78 year old incoming president via historically narrow margins promising fascism while ineligible for another term with a single vote to spare in the house, any democrat who looks at that situation and with a straight face says "we have to work with them" deserves to be ejected from the party

President Musk

The government is going to get shut down because this oligarch dipshit believes blatant lies from the dumbest person on Twitter.

Given the events of the weekend, I am re-posting what I wrote about the importance of building a new opposition movement. Please read, act and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/buil...

Auwe! @hawaiianairlines.bsky.social Firing a Polynesian employee for having Polynesian tattoos at a Polynesian airline is almost the dumbest thing I've heard today. www.hawaiipublicradio.org/the-conversa...

In pardoning his son, Biden said: "I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice." May his worries about raw politics and injustice lead him to do more while he's still in power.

And he's an alleged rapist.

There are tens of millions of Americans who now hate Anthony Fauci but they couldn’t tell you why if you asked them.

Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in *The Dick Van Dyke Show* (1962)—on the FIRST take. It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨ #ClassicTV #FunFacts

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

“A long-term bet on bitcoin is bullish on the permanent collapse of all institutions, everywhere.” This is the most important part of the crypto story, one ignored by dreadfully superficial coverage. “Bitcoin strategic reserve idea is built on delusion” by Brendan Greeley in @financialtimes.com

RFK Jr. attacks "red state people" in recently unearthed footage: "Red state people are more likely to murder you, to impregnate your teenage daughter, to commit a violent crime against you..."

We are about to confirm a bunch of lifetime appointments to the federal bench fyi.

I am not sure if anyone cares what a 27 year old with autism and special needs has to say, but I want to help inspire others. I lost both my parents when I was 19. I was attacked and bullied. But it hasn’t broken me. Can you share this post if you care what I have to say?

I used to watch morning joe because I loved seeing a republican eat shit regarding his own party and what it has become. I guess I'll get my thrills elsewhere now...

We deserve answers. There’s a place between rolling over and storming the Capitol. The silence from Dem leadership is deafening.
