🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Once again MSM passes on MAGA repurposing words to trick average Americans. DEI is not their target. Anyone who’s not a white make in a well-paying job is the target. They can’t even spell merit.

Firing the Black general is racist! They even said they are being racist. “Because if DEI” they said. And then they appoint a less qualified white person. All the things they do are openly the things they do. Nazi salutes, all of it. It’s all crystal clear.

When did firing people like nuclear scientists and air traffic controllers seem like a better idea than simply taxing the rich?

Texas banned abortion in 2021. Then the rate of sepsis shot up more than 50 percent. This is exactly why data collection and analyses are critical. Important reporting from Lizzie Presser, @andreasuozzo.com, Sophie Chou + Kavitha Surana: www.propublica.org/article/texa...

The job market has never been better for shills, stooges, and toadies of all stripes. Linkedin absolutely buzzing if you're a sycophant, a flunky, or even an unctuous little worm

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

I find it noteworthy that Collins and Murkowski are the only people in the party of very macho alpha men who have enough courage to stand up to Trump, Musk and their dimwitted MAGA Brown Shirts.

Movies you've watched more than 6 times, GIFs only with alt text you write yourself.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Trump is once again trying to play king — this time threatening to revoke home rule and self-determination for 700,000 D.C. residents. This is why #DCStatehood is so vital and why I will never stop fighting for it and for the rights of Maryland’s neighbors in D.C.

WSJ says Twitter is telling advertisers to spend more with them “or else” — “They are afraid of the legal/political ramifications of not doing so.” Do y’all get it yet? www.wsj.com/business/med...

Of course.

Called my House Rep and suggested a weekly email focused on the story of one Federal worker fired in our state or from a job with a direct impact on our district (ie: Wildland Firefighters, Park Ranger). They were very receptive. This is an easy thing to suggest to any rep. Call yours! #DidThisToday

A reminder, from February 25th, 2022:

I went to see Casablanca at the library today. It hits hard in 2025. Cried when they sang La Marseillaise. Wondered what we would sing. Maybe "This Land is Your Land"

"You need to look at context and not judge old movies by modern standards!" Meanwhile, political cartoonists when these movies were made were like:

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

Kathy Hochul showing more sack than Congress is blowing my mind. Will she win? Maybe not but she just hammered his testicles in public and that's funny

Ha-ha, triggering the libs by *checks note* accurately conveying the form of government you are shifting American government towards

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.
