Thanks to our Veterans for once again coming through for America…👇 Thank you! 😎✨

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover.

Coming up on one year since this shoot! This is just a handful #theredheadproject #keithbarraclough

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

I’d like to see more, thanks.

And all Donnir wants is to help his buddy sell his Teslas. Trumpers, what is wrong with you? www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Be intentional in your kindness. Especially when we’re all under such pressure. Be kind to others and to yourself.

WRECKonciliation is the perfect name... And for those in the back, while the GOP forces women to give birth, the TAX Scam is trying to take away healthcare coverage for 300,000 pregnant women in Texas alone. Don't Cut Our Medicaid

Donald Trump thinks Americans should “shut up” about the outrageously high price of eggs.

This is the thing! You got Warhol and The Velvet Underground and CBGB and punk rock and Basquiat and Nirvana and Van Gogh and Picasso and the rest because people could make beautiful weird shit while living cheaply. High rent and expensive mortgages and down payments and student loans ruin culture.

They got so mad that it became socially taboo to use a handful of racist, sexist, homophobic, and ableist slurs, that they took over the federal government just so they could ban the words people use to express how racism, sexism, homophobia, and ableism work and can be dismantled.

National Parks cuts makes absolutely no friggin sense 💥😡

At 5 pm Fri, the Social Security Admin announced that it will withhold the *entire* Social Security benefits of overpaid seniors & people w/disabilities, even if not their fault—reversing a Biden-era reform that limited repayment to 10% of the monthly benefit. This will cause needless suffering.

At the DC #standupforscience today. The question was “Why are you here?” She came up with this on her own! (I helped her with the spelling) So proud of her! #standupforscience2025 @standupforscience.bsky.social

Congrats to Carolina's own JP Flores and colleauges in @standupforscience.bsky.social. Happy to see our news department covering. www.science.org/content/arti...

Bribes. They’re known as bribes.

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

BREAKING: The National Education Association, backed by the ACLU, sues the Trump administration over its anti-diversity "Dear Colleague" letter issued Feb. 14. Complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Dear Colleague letter: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Some federal workers are going back to work. The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back. Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired. The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.

Hamilton cancels its two-month-run production scheduled for next year at the Kennedy Center due to the “partisan policies” following the “recent takeover.” The production likely was scheduled as part of a year of 250/America programming. From producer Jeffrey Seller:
