Please read—this is becoming serious!

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

One of the boards I sit on received notification last night that our funding was immediately terminated. $ that helps house people, that helps prevent discrimination, investigates discrimination, educates tenants and landlords…and so much more. For so many communities. Just gone. I’m devastated.

Quite the message from the guy running our government

Wow, we are impressed by Canada 🇨🇦 —1% of the population has signed to revoke Elon’s Canadian citizenship. Can Americans sign as well?

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

Is there a way yet to share Bluesky posts to IG stories?

ALERT! It just broke that tomorrow, the Senate will attempt a procedural vote on a transgender sports ban. It will take 7 Democrats breaking rank in order to have enough votes to pass cloture. Democrats held very strong in the House and only lost two votes. CALL YOUR DEMS! (info in next post)

Not fishy at all…

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

Amy Gleason is the acting administrator of the DOGE. Please don’t be distracted by this—it was only done because federal judges were questioning who was actually running the operation. Gleason is completely controlled by Musk, and he is doing this to avoid testifying.

Translation: We want to cut Medicaid.

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired. This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Why aren’t men speaking up more about what’s going on? All the men in my life (yes, I did chew out my partner to do better) are fucking silent. Y’all have voices, too? USE IT.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

Tesla isn’t going to survive. Sales are down nearly 50% in Europe. Keep the boycott going. Your protests are working. #3E #endoligarchy #boycotttesla

@nationalgrid.bsky.social this is what #nationalgrid thinks about their “community”. Weeks of snowfall in Buffalo and not once have the shoveled or salted their part of the side walk. A blight in our neighborhood.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has terminated over 1,400 employees.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Carpeted bedroom floor is a 10/10 napping spot.

🚨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.

The Trump administration reversed itself on making funding and staff cuts to a federal health program for survivors of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, after bipartisan criticism of the moves.

Quick break from horrible news and time for #booktalk I need Emilio Sakarya to play Xaden in the Fourth Wing adaptation ASAP. Like, yesterday.

Thank god and DUH. McConnell is a walking corpse. Can pelosi step down, too? Why do all these rich old politicians wanna keep working? Go fucking drink a beer by the beach already or hang out with your annoying grandkids.

If Trump and his gang aren't bound by the law nor the constitution, why are you? Currently the system of checks and balances is being destroyed at a speed that would have launched most countries into riots or open revolt. This is a constitutional crisis and your constitution isn't doing so well.

JFC indeed.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

A point to consider.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

A 24-year-old transgender man from Minnesota who had been missing since December was subjected to violence and torture before his body was found last week in a field in New York, the authorities said. Five people were arrested in connection with his death and charged with murder, the police said.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

For vday I just want the men in my life to speak up for the women’s rights being taken from us in real time ❤️

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

It’s bleak right now. You don’t need me to tell you that. And mostly, when you look around you’ll see cowardice. But if you keep your eyes peeled, there is also incredible courage. If you find it, boost it as loudly as you can. If all we see is courage: we’ve won.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

32 days until the government runs out of money Democratic are about to have a lot of leverage Not clear they’ll use it

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit
