After firing federal workers at the CDC, some 180 of them have received emails begging them to come back to work. "Read this e-mail immediately" was the subject line according to the AP. So much government efficiency going on. What a joke.

A Tale of two Greens😡

Imagine handing your car keys to an insane person whose driver's license was revoked for shitty driving, putting your family and all your valuables in the car, and telling him to drive near a cliff. That's where America is now, with trump in the driver's seat. Dumb choice, America.

Chaos erupts b/t Trump's cabinet and Musk. New reporting from the NY Times: - Rubio, furious over Musk’s cuts to his agency, fired back after Musk mocked him: “You have fired nobody.” Rubio countered that over 1,500 State Department officials had taken early retirements, accusing Musk of lying. 1/

Mexico and Canada should both ban X and Facebook. As well as every other democracy in the world that wants to stay in existence.

This is all too accurate. WAKE UP AMERICA‼️

There were many attempts to distill Project 2025. I read some good online primers about it. But the vast majority of the country just heard the words "Project 2025" and did not attempt to look into what it meant. And I think this is something to sit with for the future. HOW do you get ppl to read?

My husband ran a successful business and used our local rural post office daily. My elderly neighbor’s meds come through the rural post office. The post office is one of the only places left open in my rural community. Losing it could quite literally kill my town and my neighbors.

Our latest: It's a good time to be a disease

Is America great again yet?

In stores everywhere.

Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.

Preach, AOC 👏👏👏

Things are a shitshow right now, so please take a moment to enjoy this recent photo of the destitute outcast Rudy Guiliani on a scooter in Walmart shopping for hair dye. You’re welcome. 🙃 Photo ~ TMZ

We cannot let the goal posts be moved and, equally important, we have to recognize when we are unconsciously allowing them to be moved in our own reaction to current events. The question isn’t just what’s happening; it’s whether we recognize it for what it is.

Today at the “Stand up for Science” demonstration at the Lincoln Memorial.

No bone spurs detected.

Trump voters: “We want cheaper goods!” [They elect Trump. Prices go up] The Trump administration: “Americans never wanted cheaper goods.”

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

For International Women's Day, a shootout to Dorothy Day, journalist (creator of the Catholic Worker) and activist. When, as a young girl in Oakland, she saw the outpouring of compassion and community after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, she spent much of her life recreating that compassion..

To the couple at tonight’s University of Indiana screening of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE who were both seeing it for the first time and who were on a date — I love both of you and hope you go the distance.

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

Never let them know your next move.

Yesterday Trump announced he was delaying his tariffs Today he announced new 250% tariffs Don’t tell me this guy doesn’t have dementia

Rather than use life-saving vaccines, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is encouraging parents to throw “measles parties” for children to infect them amid deadly outbreaks.

Make no mistake, this will happen daily until January 20, 2029 ...

Pete Hegseth has gotten the Pentagon to scrub a photo of a B-29 Superfortress ‘The Enola Gay’ (named for the pilot's mother). It was the plane that dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, but the pilot's mother's name was "Gay." We are not just a country being run by bigots, we are one run by stupid ones.

DOGE scrubbed a long-dead contract from its site—the same place it’s been posting phony “receipts” to fake success. Do they not understand how government works, or are they lying to the public? My opinion: These aren’t mistakes. They’re trying to dupe us.

Per @rwpusa.bsky.social on another platform: "Attention DOGE: When you mess around in the Treasury Department's records and payment systems, remember that since 1789, self dealing and conflicts of interest at the Treasury Department have been a criminal offense. See Section 8."
