Word of the Day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet individual whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

Re-upping this. We need experts in media literacy & stewards of the freedom to read now more than ever.

Want to see advertisers lose MILLIONS this Sunday? A record-setting low for viewers during the Super Bowl would do that. Money talks and bullshit walks.

I love my public library. They whiz books all around the state and let me pick them up at the cute little branch walking distance from my place. They accept my purchase requests. They send me amazing unexpected recs. The thematic shelving is always interesting. And the librarians are hilarious. <3

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

In the past 26 hours, the American national anthem has been booed at: Ottawa Senators game Calgary Flames game Toronto Raptors game Vancouver Canucks game More to come. And it’s totally justified. We’re pissed.

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵 Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7

This is how autocrats throughout history have endangered the people they govern by erasing factual information vital to health and well being www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

hey question, is this bad?

Oh look. A President, a Governor, a Mayor - all at the crash site at the Chesapeake Bay with first responders. Not swimming. Showing empathy and leadership.

Word of the day is one I may have mentioned (frequently): a ‘snaccident’ is the inadvertent eating of an entire packet of biscuits.

You deserve ACCURATE information from your elected officials.

PROP - PR Over Policy. Don't confuse them. He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him. Dems need to be strategic.

Reports of ICE harassing even indigenous people are an extra layer of disturbing that I didn't forsee. But here's what should happen! Please share #laloalcaraz cartoons

We strongly urge you not to resign and recommend seeking legal counsel!

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

CNN's Jim Acosta signing off: "I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too." I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too. Pass it on.

Literally happening as we speak

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

We need to pay attention to this now before it’s too late.

Google said it will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" and change Denali to "Mount McKinley." And I will be changing the name of Chrome to "Duck Duck Go."

I’m proud to call the amazing cartoonist Ed Wexler a friend.

Why is the federal government blowing over $800K on a huge military plane to deport just 79 immigrants to Guatemala, when a regular flight used to cost us $100K? It’s all for show! And the truth—they weren’t rapists, murderers, or criminals.

While we may face repercussions for this, the truth lies in the metadata. Memos to federal employees are being authored by individuals with ties to Project 2025. You can verify this yourself.

Idaho just demanded SCOTUS overturn marriage equality. Here's my legal breakdown of this dangerous move and what it means for civil rights nationwide ⚖️ Watch the full analysis: youtube.com/shorts/wk-np...

TikTok took it down, so let’s share the shit out of this reading list. #HolocaustRemembranceDay #NeverAgainIsNow #BookSky #StateMediaCensorship

CARTOON OF THE DAY

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business. Costco Meijer Kroger Giant Grocery Ben & Jerry’s Ulta, Macy’s Old Navy Nordstrom’s TJ Maxx GoTo Foods ( Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon…) Dollar Tree Walgreens Wegmans

They took away affirmative action, DEI, the equal employment opportunity act, and told you it’s to center merit. Some of you actually believe you’ll finally be able to prove your worth without these things. Newsflash: it was never about merit, they just don’t want you in their spaces lol
