Again, one of the most useful questions you can ask for understanding the current American moment: "what would it feel like if the U.S. was being harvested for parts, and how would it feel differently than now?"

I literally reported this Wednesday.

If you're opposed to hormone therapy, you're not allowed to take melatonin. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Another department tells its employees to ignore Elon…

regret to inform everyone this is a real guy who could be pope

He has the AUDACITY TO SEND THESE EMAILS TO VA DOCTORS !! Doctors working at Veterans Hospitals What does trump do ? Golf....AYFKM

NEW: Pretty revealing look into what's going on inside the federal government tonight. On one Veterans Affairs department email, recipients are instructed to not reply to the DOGE/Musk threat email "until leadership can validate the authenticity and intent" of the email.

I've never been more sure that the white house is run by those roman statue avatar guys from twitter who had the most obscure grievances on earth

I did training for a citizen science frog observation thing, and it's depressing seeing range maps for different species of frogs, where there's a blank spot from Lake Okeechobee south to the tip of Florida because agricultural pollution has made huge swaths of the Everglades inhospitable to frogs.

This data is way too limited but this could be a cure for pancreatic cancer. How can we know if it is? And if it is, how can we access it? By funding scientific research. And with health agencies that can review data to ensure safety & efficacy, approve new treatments, & make sure they are covered.

Consider how much of a problem you have being online and then ask yourself how often you’ve actually done this

New — State Department employees have been instructed *not* to reply to OPM’s 5 bullet email, per an email I reviewed, saying leadership “will respond on behalf of the Department.”

I’m now pretty sure that our timeline diverged from what it should have been on May 1, 2001—the release date of the white iBook. It did away with the fun translucent colors of electronics.

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

Watched that video of a woman reported to be a former Dem candidate for office in Coeur d'Alene Idaho and if you think living in a "blue state" will protect you from similar behavior, some of the most active militias are in Colorado and California.

AS I HAVE BEEN SAYING

I take the bold stance that misogyny is extremely bad even when it’s applied to white cis straight women with federal jobs who kinda remind you of your mom.

hey, if you're a Googler and not on paternity leave, a good question to put on a leadership Dory is "considering that the US government's anti-DEI order is suspended, what timeline can you commit to for reinstating Google's commitment to its diversity principles?"

They aren't overlooking it. They just don't care and don't expect their audience to think about it or care, either.

Solidarity is a word we all need to lean into hard and fast. We need to embrace an ethos of sticking together. We all get out of this together or none of us do, there is no other way.

Idiots like Elon think of the "federal government" as like this thing that is separate from the American people, and not millions of Americans citizens working in communities all over the country. The reason they have this wrong is because they don't know anything at all.

If only we had someone, a Chief Justice so to speak, who was in precisely the position to stand up for an independent judiciary by publicly refusing the request on behalf of all judicial branch employees. Oh well!

CNN made FOIA request about DOGE—only to learn FOIA staff was fired flip.it/tjEKRX

People who will buy a horny visual novel game vastly outnumber those who will admit to buying a horny visual novel game This is a fundamental problem with voluntary polling in general

libertarians living the life by supporting themselves even when no one else will

Quite a moment when top military commanders are reacting to Elon's latest manic weekend email outburst as though it's a provocation from a rival state power

The way other female conservative influencers are turning on Ashley St. Clair, leaking her texts, and smearing her should be a sign to any conservative woman that a movement built on misogyny will not protect you. That your female peers will weaponize misogyny against you, too.

It is a violent threat and it should be treated as such.

people really shouldn’t feel obliged to add qualifiers to “it’s bad when women are purged from public life” and yet

They ran out of eggs

I’ve been banging this drum for a while but like: they shut down huge swaths of the counterterrorism functions!!!

If you ask most self-described Oregon conservatives if they consider themselves to be racists they will be offended that you’d even suggest that. Then if you showed them this blatantly racist post from a leading Oregon gun rights group, they’d think it’s fine. www.oregonfirearms.org/imbeciles-in...

all else aside this is some classic dumb guy management, just absolutely stupid time and resource wasting incompetent boss shit

They’re also firing generals and attorneys for the crime of not being male.

I’ve noticed how often even well-meaning cis white men just *totally miss* that the Musk/Trump regime are obviously driven by overt and hideous misogyny, in addition to overt and hideous racism.

I'm no scholar of history, but I paid attention in college and can tell you this man will be fortunate to die in a prison cell
