The guy in question was a Democrat, but even if he was a Trumper, we should be happy that people are recognizing what is happening and speaking out. Engaging in schadenfreude helps no one. Just amplify these stories and raise awareness to build opposition.

Kudos to Gov. Janet Mills of Maine for standing up to Trump. He threatened loss of federal funds for her state simply because it allows trans girls to play in sports. She said, “See you in court.” Trump is a weak, shallow, callous leader who wants desperately to be a despot. #BullyPolPot

it’s so funny to be like “we don’t need diverse spies”

As Elon demands justifications from all federal workers (including many who are not Executive Branch employees), remember that if he paid his taxes, it'd pay for 677K federal jobs.

Terrible news: MSNBC is cancelling my friend Joy Reid's show. It's reportedly part of a shake up at MSNBC. She is a unique, powerful voice who has always taken the fight to those in power. But big corporate media outlets like Comcast never likes that. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

The statistics are important, but so is this. People shouldn't be afraid just walking through their neighborhood. This really gets at the core of what congestion pricing is about: starting to reclaim streets for people instead of cars (And yes, crashes not accidents)

At CPAC, Acting Dir. U.S. Immigration & Customs Tom Homan issued a threat to Boston's police commissioner for allegedly not cooperating with federal immigration authorities. BPD Commissioner Cox: "We abide by the law.. and we don't enforce civil detainers regarding federal immigration law" #mapoli

Federal govt doesn't have authority to compel state/local police to enforce federal law incl. immigration law THAT'S THEIR JOB. MA Supreme Court ruled state/local police cannot hold a suspect pre-trial after Court-Ordered Release including on an ICE detainer--administrative warrant #bospoli #mapoli

There are a few places in this country that serve as testing grounds for conservative tactics, places where you can see the future before it arrives elsewhere. Coeur D'Alene, Idaho is one of those places -- I've written about it before This video should scare the absolute shit out of everyone

Along with the venal cruelty and existential consequences, can we pause to note that this is EXACTLY WHAT MUSK DID AT TWITTER? Beat for beat. Practically word for word. The guy hasn’t had a new idea or operational insight in a decade. He’s on autopilot while demolishing the U.S. government.

"So is OPM providing a project/charge number to respond to that email? No? Oh, well I'm sorry that we can't work on unfunded projects for other agencies at this time"

The real kicker on the data isn’t the access; it’s the control. “Access” is abstract, diffuse, nebulous. That’s where control comes in. Because if you say, “Elon can now destroy the life of anyone, for any reason, with zero process or accountability” we know why we should be afraid.

Dear Mr. Musk, What we found out is that each one of us is 1. a brain 2. and an athlete 3. and a basket case 4. a princess 5. and a criminal. Does that answer your question?

I’m sorry. You can all be mad at journalists for this or whatever. And maybe in some cases it’s deserved. But this is a high-risk profession that’s dying. There’s little support for most working journalists who still have jobs. When you blame “the media,” blame executives. Not workers.

I’ve been doing a lot of research about the people being laid off at the national parks and it turns out it has nothing to do with DEI or performance. It’s a land grab so they can drill baby drill.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

@mattcameron.bsky.social has been advocating for immigrants to not just know their rights, but to understand their actual legal risks. Immigrant advocacy groups & elected officials have been working tirelessly to spread crucial information on social media about what to do if confronted by US ICE.
