And they got fired.

Uh. Didn’t think we’d need the generational danger warnings quite this soon?

Just making sure everyone saw what the former Social Security Administrator told CNBC on Saturday...

The problem with "let's put class and not identity at the center of politics" is that Americans view class as an *identity* marker, not an economic one. If you're a transgender elder care aide you're an elite and if you're a millionaire beverage distributor you're working class

DOGE is fucking with the unemployment benefits of those they just illegally terminated. My unemployment benefits were denied

The Suikoden game franchise get an anime, a new mobile game with tie-in manga, a stage play and a concert!

"The modeling center runs the computer models used in day-to-day weather forecasting, and ensures that weather data correctly goes into these models and that they are operating correctly."

Here are some reasons to consider the switch... ghost.org/vs/substack/

This is perhaps the greatest thing on the internet right now.

In January 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt answered the "America First" of his day - and foresaw the "America First" of ours: "We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests."

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Bruh.

Love this! Today’s the day! It’s just the beginning. United we stand, divided we fall. It was nice that a bunch of people asked me if they could use my poster like this.

Because I will always repeat this when we see measles circulating again: if you were born 1957-1972 and did attend college or 1957-1987 and didn't attend college, you should get your MMR immunity tested with a simple lab test or one adult dose of MMR booster if your insurance won't cover labwork.

ffs!

Broke: Trump take egg. Woke: Trump take beer.

RFK Jr. Vows To Make Measles Deaths So Common They Won’t Be Upsetting Anymore

Egg shortages. Fatal measles outbreaks. Airplane crashes. Crypto scams. Tariffs. Betrayal of allies. Pardons and special favors for insurrectionists, crooked mayors, and online pimps. The American people voted for change!

the main effect of firing 800,000 people — in addition to debilitating the federal government — would be to plunge the US economy into a recessionary spiral that rivaled the Great Recession

"Cuts have no apparent regard for civil society or opportunity costs or long-term strategic thinking. Their targets are Elon Musk’s and Project 2025’s targets. They have found no fraud, just democracy at work. They’re apparently eager to see what happens when it no longer does." Brian Barrett:

“I’ve been tracking these races for many years,” says Douglas Keith, senior counsel in the Judiciary Program at the Brennan Center for Justice. “I’ve never seen this much interest in a state supreme court election coming directly from the White House.”

I just wrote a quick blog post about why Substack writers should switch to Ghost! micahflee.com/2025/02/not-...

Fraud, waste, and abuse just means resources going to people they don't like. That's it.

Freedom is when the boss tells you what to write and think. bsky.app/profile/maxt...

When you describe the actual agenda of the Republican Party to ordinary people—like this kind of comical reverse Robin Hoodism—time & time again researchers find that they simply will not believe you. They cannot fathom anyone could be this cartoonishly evil.

Friendly reminder that Joann Fabrics isn’t closing because it’s a bad business. It’s closing bc it was bought by a private equity firm. This is also what is happening to Hooters and what happened to US Toys R Us and Red Lobster. These companies are being dismantled intentionally.

Name every victory when they come

Techbros and Conservatives formed an alliance based on their shared interest: That it should be illegal to make fun of them online

HEADLINE: Texas measles outbreak rises to 48 cases. It’s the state’s WORST in nearly 30 YEARS. There is absolutely NO REASON measles outbreaks should be on the rise. Two doses of MMR vaccine are 97% EFFECTIVE against measles. So, let’s talk about what YOU can do to PROTECT yourself AND others. 🧪🧵⬇️

Not holding townhalls because constituents are pissed off is the civic equivalent and stopping testing because that way the COVID numbers can't go up.

Breaking: FDA's March meeting to select flu shot strains for 2025-2026 season has been canceled per email sent to committee members, a VRBPAC member told me. drug companies need about 6 months leeway to make shots in time for fall vax campaigns. #healthpolicy

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

A Disney employee downloaded an image generator off GitHub. It deployed malware a hacker used to access his password manager and contact him on Discord. Then the hacker leaked a massive trove of confidential Disney data and the employee’s personal information.

Just totally unnecessary carnage at the hands of this conspiratorial narcissist

People laughed a few days ago when @jamellebouie.net said we might not have flu shots next year, but:

HELLO!! SERRELS WROTE A KIDS BOOK AND I ILLUSTRATED IT!!! AND ITS AVAILABLE TO BUY NOW!!!!

Wired and ProPublica continue to do the public service journalism the New York Times and Washington Post pretend to do

We can still stop the GOP from destroying Medicaid But it's going to a national pushback that scares Republicans more than Trump. What you need to know about this fight that truly just began last night, informed by the awesome @bbkogan.bsky.social's monster thread.

The Trump administration has fired 400 FAA workers in the past week. www.axios.com/local/chicag...

all the russiagate stuff was true

For those of us who are used to living in a democracy, the term you are looking for here is "state repression."

Time to bring the protests to their offices.

I think I figured out why his spaceships keep blowing up.
