Shoutout to Governor Janet Mills! This is the kind of courage we need.

What do you mean personal space? There’s no such thing when you are behind schedule for breakfast, walks, and catio time. #cats #BlueskyCats #caturday

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

Donald Trump is big mad that Canada beat the U.S. in hockey. He calls Justin Trudeau "a loser" and says that he's going to lose the election. Fox Radio's Brian Kilmeade tells Donald that Trudeau isn't even running. Senile old fool. 🤦‍♀️

www.maine.gov/governor/mil... Standing up for all of us. Thank you Governor Mills and thank you Maine.

Hey Muskrat, Show us the actual receipts, or sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up — because nobody likes you. Absolutely. No. One. ✨

Despite facing declining poll numbers and growing constituent unrest, Trump is now publicly urging Elon Musk to intensify his efforts.

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

This letter is exquisite. No notes

Nailed it.

when I was younger I thought the subplot of Ender’s Game in which Ender’s siblings shitpost themselves into running the world was the least realistic part of the book I am coming around to the idea that it was by far the most realistic

Literacy is activism. Reading is a political act. Books are tools for liberation.

nothing like getting up at the crack of dawn to go to the airport without any coffee and the tsa agent looks at my id and says, and i quote, ‘uh-oh’

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

Reply with a 💙 if you believe that we need more people like Letitia James.

I hear a couple calls for resignations, so fwiw: I intend to take this country back from the Heritage Foundation, starting in 2026, and I hope the current staff of the NEH, NIH, and NSF will mostly still be in place.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

And now, a stern word about enforcing norms from the commentators who had a LOT of feelings about exactly how fuckable a CGI M&M should be

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants. #IDsky #Medsky #Episky www.science.org/content/arti...

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.
