NYT: “DOGE deleted the top five highest savings claims on its ‘wall of receipts’ leaderboard after variousnews outlets pointed out multiple errors in its calculations…” newrepublic.com/post/191973/...

“.. after The New York Times and other media outlets pointed out they were riddled with errors.” #DOGE 🇺🇸 @fahrenthold.bsky.social @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Goddamnit, Google. For shame. Google Calendar removes Black History Month, Pride and other cultural events www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Evening on Karl Johan Street, by Edvard Munch, 1892

The same people who have been screeching about boycotting the NFL for years are cheering on Donald Trump attending the Super Bowl. 🙄

There have been three plane crashes in the two and a half weeks since Elon Musk forced out the head of the FAA who had been critical of Space X spewing toxic debris everywhere.

Yesterday the St. Johns County, School Board (FL) held a hearing where they considered six book objections that came from a citizen. The Board did not vote to remove. A parent proudly read this statement on behalf of her student who was in class at the time of the hearing. Show up. It matters.

Americans were warned.

NOBODY ELECTED ELON.

The Republicans hold majorities in both houses of Congress and the Supreme Court and hold the White House and they could pass basically whatever agenda they would care to enact, but they have instead decided on a unique strategy of letting someone unelected do crimes all over the federal government.

The logic of the coup that is going on now. And how to resist it. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual. We do not consent to this lawless power grab.

America voluntarily turned into a near fascist state within a decade. That's how quickly it happened. The pain will last for years.

Yup.

At every corner, we must oppose these baseless attacks on the trans community. The fascist playbook looks to blame the issues created by billionaires and spineless politicians on certain groups of people. Trump has selected trans folks and immigrants. We can’t give an inch on the bigotry. Onwards ✊🏾

Crockett: The fact that you just sat up there and somehow figured out how to tie trans folk to your argument makes no sense to me but let me tell you something.. Trans people ain’t going nowhere

COYI ⚒️

I'll move from this place if I see one

Trump: WE MUST SECURE THE BORDER!! But first, let's expand them 10,000 miles.

People are asking how to get my letters without using Facebook. They are here, for free. I also record a podcast of me (not AI) reading them that is available by separate email at Substack (also free) and is on all the usual platforms as well. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-6-...

Hello, kids. Today’s word is…INSURRECTION! Never forget it.

90s @ 9 hour is so good, gonna make it a playlist @wxpnfm.bsky.social

Over and over again, this is the story.

Musk’s Wealth 2012: $2 billion 2024: $454.1 billion Bezos’ Wealth 2012: $18.4 billion 2024: $242.3 billion Zuckerberg’s Wealth 2012: $17.5 billion 2024: $210.1 billion Federal Minimum Wage 2012: $7.25 2024: $7.25 It’s not the start of an oligarchy. We’re in the thick of it.

Imagine all the other ways those tax dollars could be spent 🤦🏽‍♀️ www.tallahassee.com/story/news/p...

THE DRONES ARE EATING OUR CATS, THEY'RE EATING OUR DOGS

A lot of the rich and powerful are obeying in advance. That doesn't mean the rest of us have to. Or rather that means that it's on us not to, and may we wither some of that wealth and power as we go.

The best.

Brandi Carlile's The Story was my no. 1 #xpncountdown

Buying Jason Isbell tickets tomorrow a.m. #xpncountdown

Jason Isbell is the real deal. Love this guy. And “If We Were Vampires” absolutely deserves to be top 5. “Maybe time running out is a gift I’ll work hard ‘til the end of my shift” Gutted. Every time I hear it. #XPNcountdown

Republicans make bogeymen out of trans people and immigrants to scare a larger portion of voters into electing them because if they actually ran on their real goal: to cut taxes for big corporations and billionaires and take away your social security and services to pay for them, they couldn't win.

I've loved this year's #xpncountdown more than I thought I would. I know a few from my list are still to come.
