The TL is bleak but Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, donated her Tesla to @npr

Vermont understood the assignment. Take notes, America.

🚨 PSA for Protesters 🚨

Today, around ten thousand people gathered at Tesla showrooms across 50 states and internationally to protest Elon Musk (DOGE). We encourage everyone to join again next Saturday, March 8th, with more events planned.

A social media post is like a billboard; intended to be glimpsed by hundreds but only relevant to a few. Some people reply as though the post addressed them by name while delivering a certified and insured paper letter.

My shirt today.

Trans issues are damned consequential to those of us who know and love and care about trans people. Trans rights are human rights, full stop.

What the people want the Dems to do during the State of the Union: Boycott it en masse & hold a competing event featuring fired federal workers & get real angry about the whole situation What the Dems want to do during the State of the Union: Clap tepidly, make an eww stinky poopoo face once

I heard a parent at the Y tell their child “adults can be very disappointing.” Very fair to set that expectation from a young age.

The cowardice of the GOP has been astounding 👇 #TraitorTrump

My baby is only 4 months old. Fuck.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

📢📢📢📢

You have to be willing to try shit and to be wrong and then to keep trying.

i really like this framing.

The U.S. government has put up a submission form for reporting schools who teach kids about “DEI.” It accepts file uploads. Internet, you know what to do enddei.ed.gov

I get that protecting your sanity is job number one, but I think engaging at the beginning of the coup is better than when it’s complete :(

Flood it. Bombard it. Wreck it.

So like... I know a lot of people don't know this, so if you didn't know this, now you do.

Governmental fascism is largely about removing every program that might protect or aid those the fascists deem "weak"-- which is to say, the socially, physically, and economically vulnerable. It appeals to privileged young men in large part because most don't realize they can become vulnerable.

DO NOT FORGET

Another week, another week of Target seeing declines in foot traffic to stores while foot traffic for Costco continues to climb. For the week that began Feb 17, foot traffic at Target’s stores fell 7.9% YoY, more than double the 3.9% it fell the previous week. www.retailbrew.com/stories/2025...

Sometimes you need to take a break from The Horrors...and look at this BRAND NEWLY DISCOVERED LIL' PLANT. Lookit this little GUY! A lil desert guy. Isn't it just amazing to realize we're discovering new species all the time still! www.npr.org/2025/02/26/n...

Our service members are among the best and bravest our nation has to offer. They are patriots who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. To demean thousands of transgender service members' sacrifice by removing them is cruel and stupid – and makes us all less safe.

They said we were being hysterical for saying he would rule like a fascist.

NEW: A judge has ordered Trump administration officials — and at least one DOGE staffer — to sit for depositions in a lawsuit over the group's access to sensitive government systems. Judge Bates called DOGE's activities "opaque." w/ @joshgerstein www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Wealth ≠ Worth

There is no solution to the omni-crisis that's not removing Trump from office and there is no serious opposition that's unwilling to say that.

At every turn, they are destroying all the things that keep us safe, leaving us vulnerable not just to one danger, but infinite dangers. Some combination of ineptitude, cravenness, selfishness, and outright treason seems to be driving this.

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

2020: Ooh, what are you making? A rustic sourdough loaf! 2025: Oo what’s that you’re making? Faraday cage

God, take JoAnn's pain and give it to Hobby Lobby

How’s this WSJ take aging

mind your business, sql.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

"Very few conservative ideas stand up to direct personal experience."

A Southwest Airlines plane was forced to abort its landing this morning after a private jet taxied in front of it across the runway at Midway Airport in Chicago. Whatever that guy from The Real World is doing with the FAA has gotta stop.
