🧵 In its anti-DEI presentation to John Deere shareholders on Wed., director from the National Center for Public Policy Research cited Robby Starbuck and concluded: "DEI is out, and merit is in." Deere shareholders voted 99-1 percent: DEI is in. WHO IS ROBBY STARBUCK? www.rawstory.com/john-deere/

I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN…

If Biden had done this it would have been a major story that consumed the media for the next week.

We are shutting down our online store at midnight Eastern in solidarity with the 2/28 Economic Blackout. We’ll be back on 3/1. Also, sorry about the long shipping timeframes and the lack of shirts—we’re working hard to catch up! We use small U.S. suppliers for our products.

Trump and alleged sex offenders … a love affair made in hell. www.indiatoday.in/amp/world/sh...

Of course Trump is on the side of mega banks and has no problem with them ripping off their customers… So he’s having a consumer protection agency drop a lawsuit against them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

James Cameron says US under Trump is ‘horrifying’ as he becomes New Zealand citizen

Being the VA Secretary is a full-time job. Someone please explain to me how in the hell he’s going to take care of us with two other full-time jobs?

Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.

⚡️ US-Ukraine natural resources deal ready for signing, treasury secretary says.

It's absolutely insane that Elon Musk and his wrecking crew are saying they're firing entire swaths of our government infrastructure and the press are just like "oh that's sad but what are you gonna do, guess they're fired." It is batshit crazypants, and it's being covered like normal policy choices

Trump says Putin would keep his word on a Ukraine peace deal

Sign of the day…

In the wake of Gene Hackman’s death, Kevin Costner reflects on a moment of ‘generosity and vulnerability’ shared between the two when working together.

Scoop: In a tense off-the-record meeting with reporters that went off-the rails, the Pentagon's new press chief indicated they'll do away with the travel pool. He also scolded reporters for their coverage. "It was bleak and horrible," I'm told. Details in Status: www.status.news/p/pressed-at...

MAGA is mad at trump! They know they have been lied to, there’s no meat in this report.

Nothing says transparency quite like redacting most of the Epstein files including the most damning evidence that can connect to the orange felon.

Ukraine war briefing: Trump panders to Russia by shutting Kyiv out of Nato, says Kaja Kallas

‘I was causing harm’: author Helen Jukes on motherhood and our polluted bodies

When @propublica.org reporters Brett Murphy & @annamaria.bsky.social found out that fired #USAID workers could go to the office one last time to clean out their desks, they pitched this crazy idea. What if we rented a billboard truck to advertise how to get in touch with @propublica.org? So we did.

ProPublica is simply the most important journalism outfit in America tbh

Reminder what tornado death rates looked like before improving forecasting, building codes, education, etc. Research matters. Back to 1875 we go! Figure credit: @hebrooks87.bsky.social

Bank of England deputy governor warns of increased inflation risks, as house prices rise again – business live

⚡️Russian attacks against Ukraine kill 3, injure 20 over past day.

Let’s be clear: This is the end result of 30 years of conservative thought. Small government, free markets, blah blah, all of it ended with this: the indiscriminate firing of the scientists who predict the fucking weather. Their goal is to literally drag us back into the dark ages.

Keir Starmer to carry out largest cut to UK overseas aid in history

The NOAA layoffs aren't just crude, they're a direct attack on US capacity to do climate science by firing highly productive young researchers. @zachlabe.com has an insanely strong publication history, part of the Fresh eyes CMIP team, WMO task teams etc. /1 www.gfdl.noaa.gov/zachary-labe/

We need to tax them until they bleed

The Social Security Administration is telling employees internally via email that they will be undergoing a "restructuring," and offering voluntarily separation/optional retirement for everyone. This is consistent with the proposed 50% reduction in staff that we reported yesterday.

“Trump’s threats to Canada are illegal”: Bob Rae #CanPoli #FuckTrump

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

I just signed a Common Cause petition urging Congress to REJECT the dangerous "SAVE" Act – and I hope that you will, too: act.commoncause.org/petitions/te...
