how many controversial salutes are there. i can only think of the one but admittedly i'm not a salute scholar

quit it with this doomer shit. i'm here to win.

DOGE and Trump admin have hobbled at least 11 federal agencies *that have been investigating Musk's companies.* The NLRB alone had 24 ongoing investigations into Tesla & others--but Trump fired top officials so now cases can't move forward. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u... @ericlipton.nytimes.com

He’s super orange like why are you coming after resist libs this man looks insane what do you want people to say

Whoever gave the tip that adding profanity to your search will shut down the garbagey AI response is a saint. It's easy and it works.

Incredible news. After immense pressure and threats of protest, Children's Wisconsin has reinstated treatment for at least one trans teen under its care. Several hospitals across the country determined their fear of Trump's illegal EO was more important than their trans patients.

69% as of just there, nice #Spéirgorm. Now keep on sharing to all #EU citizens so the initatie reaches one million EU citizens by May! eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

ITS SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY This is a very important message you should share with the people in your life that may be hitting the streets to protest: never talk to the police! WATCH:

All fuck this is awful aside, greatest press release in the history of the labor movement. The Scott Walker one(s) have been dethroned. aflcio.org/press/releas... aflcio.org/press/releas... aflcio.org/press/releas...

you might feel moved when visiting the Betsy Ross museum, but don’t get carried away! They won’t even let museum employees do this activity

I don’t care if babies cry on planes. Planes are unpleasant. I would also like to cry on planes. If a baby cries on a plane, that is not a nuisance. That is simply a relatable baby.

- racist DOGE guy (redundant) canned - federal judge upholds birthright citizenship - another judge blocks voluntary resignation - NY state going to court over treasury business - patel put on ice for at least a week

"would you please put that in writing" is how you pull off insubordination without actually being insubordinate. Very useful when you are getting sketchy (whatever 'sketchy' might mean) instructions from someone who might not want to take responsibility for it later. signed, a former union steward.

CORPORATE DEI WEBINAR: If you meet someone from East Asia, you should avoid asking "So which kind are you?" JACUZZI DEALERSHIP OWNER: Well, that's it. Time to start the Fourth Reich.

For the folks in the back, criticizing our reps isn't attacking them or ‘calling the wrong people’. Prodding them works, and will move the needle. They have the power to shift the GOP on the hill, not us. Keep pushing them.

but who will doge the dogemen

Now with alt text.

I hate it when my ailing king is usurped by his scheming foreign vizier

Please please please. I hate that we have to do this, but if you can, please do this.

A company cannot love you back. People at the company can appreciate you, sure, but I’ve watched so many people (coworkers, friends, family) sacrifice for the places they’ve worked that simply took advantage of their loyalty while giving nothing back or hurting them down the line

Ignore the media headlines reporting that freezing federal spending or shuttering federal agencies “raise questions” or “push boundaries.” It’s an anticonstitutional lawbreaking spree.

good on *one fucking va congressman* to make a move here. if the commonwealth’s entire caucus isn’t arm-in-arm with him today (given the number of virginians working in opm, usaid, etc., not to mention the national stakes) that’s a disgrace

Just spitballing, but things that could happen today: *Court injunction protecting USAID *Dems demand hearings on Musk's role *Someone introduce articles of impeachment *Dem officeholders go to USAID offices with USAID workers *Refuse to conduct any more Senate confirmations until this is resolved

You say: they shutdown USAID. You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

“nobody saw this coming” = “we considered everyone who saw this coming a nobody”

📣 MAJOR MAJOR PSA 📣 YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR A PROTEST. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO "REGISTER" TO SHOW SOLIDARITY. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER TO HAND OUT AND DISTRIBUTE MATERIALS. YOU JUST SHOW UP.

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

Well it's a simple problem: your lib coworker takes trump seriously but doesn't have the social media vocab to look cool, while your primary concern is avoiding cringe. What I would ask is: which one of you is less of an asset to fascism

Madness. RFK is not offering a critique of American healthcare! If a “critique” is coming from a person operating in extreme bad faith and is reliant almost exclusively on lies, it’s not a critique at all, it’s lunacy, or propaganda. It’s not worth any consideration at all, only harsh denunciation.

This may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we COULD ask Mothra for help

classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity

Here’s what’s important here. Just because the other side wants a fight doesn’t mean you should avoid one. Sometimes you have to get out of your head, quit trying to be clever and cute and fucking fight.

The news sometimes gives you the impression that government is an unstoppable steamroller, but it’s not. The admin is trying a “shock and awe” because they can only win by tricking people into giving up.

I have not seen people talking about this so far w/ 47's cuts to roles. "Members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee received a memo Tuesday" eliminating their role. This is a mandated committee by law dating back to PanAm 103. @jonostrower.com @wandrme.paxex.aero apnews.com/article/coas...

I really like that the stock photo they chose is a guy whose expression is like "I can't believe we actually have to do this again"

If y'all haven't caught on I'm going to annoy the shit out of y'all with examples on how democracy is being fought for and saved on the local level. I want to unshackle y'all from the thinking that only the national horse race matters.

For folks who say, "Why should I even bother calling my Democratic Senator? They'll vote the right way..." I need you to understand that when Dem electeds try to justify why they're cowering in terror from Trump right now, the VERY FIRST THING THEY CITE is: "no one's calling my office"

The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.

Still absolutely appalled by this analogy. Yesterday I noted that even in terms of corporate law Trump's looting and waste isn't ok. Today I point out: what do you mean the country is HIS that he's ACQUIRED??? THE UNITED STATES BELONGS TO ITS PEOPLE, NOT ***HIM***!! He's a steward, not an owner.

that one guy with locked in syndrome dictated an entire book by blinking one eye and then died so idk man he probably thought his words meant something
