WE GOT THIS! Starts NOW - through the 14th. Don’t touch Amazon or anything Jeff Bezos owns.

Almost Friday vibes

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

very proud of all of you who left twitter and never looked back

Trans and nonbinary people have always existed and always will. Bigotry and ignorance will never change that.

I don’t know how to stop being mad at how dumb everyone is

Oh, now he's on the economy--"we inherited an economic catastrophe." No, you were handed a growing, buzzing economy and you're destroying it.

Interesting to see a democrat attempt to risk negative reaction to draw attention to the crisis we're in. @algreen.house.gov

Weak and childish behavior

As another Trump-induced market crisis unfolds from tariffs, it's time we ask "What's the Matter with Billionaires?" I've run the numbers. Billionaires do better under Dems. So why do billionaires keep supporting GOP policies against their economic interests? See my latest piece on why. (TLDR 🧵⬇️)

NEW: Sen. Joni Ernst had relationships with two military officials who lobby her committee, according to sources. “From an ethics standpoint, it’s severely problematic,” one former legislative affairs official said. www.propublica.org/article/joni...

Got dressed up for a night out at the casino and a drag show after with my husband and two friends, but we ended up staying at the casino well past the show since my husband was on a roll. Nice leaving with a bit more than you had at the start.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Today's the day. No spending except at small, locally-owned businesses! Hint: pay in cash, so you don't patronize the banks. #EconomicBlackout #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

This is evil. Pure evil.

People laughed a few days ago when @jamellebouie.net said we might not have flu shots next year, but:

Musk explicitly says he wants to turn America into El Salvador where a strongman has consolidated power, undermined judicial independence, harassed journalists, and suspended constitutional rights

One thing we discussed last night at my first event, was developing a positive feedback loop for Senate Republicans who push back on Trump. I can’t tell you the number of times I have posted when Senate Republicans like Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, or Mitch McConnell stand up to him, 1/

House Republicans just passed a budget that would kick families off their health care, shut down nursing homes, and force kids to go hungry—all to pass more tax cuts for billionaires that will blow up our national debt.

MSNBC worries about the perception that they’re not fair to R’s while Fox eats an $800m libel settlement to preserve its ability to lie about Ds. That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage. open.substack.com/pub/readtpa/...

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

I will be sat

Moved and reorganized my book cases.

Hundreds protested in the halls of the Iowa State Capitol Monday as a subcommittee advanced legislation to remove gender identity as a protected class from the Iowa Civil Rights Act, Robin Opsahl reports. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2025/02/24/p...

Democratic women are the ones who are stepping up and confronting Musk and Trump.

I love my voice and the opportunity we hold to vote for who we hope will best serve the people. Why would anyone be so blind and forfeit something so precious? It’s this willful ignorance that has lead us to this point. We should not give up the difficulties of a democracy for the “ease”of a king.

Ladies and gentlemen, your new Deputy FBI Director.

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

It may be about 25 years since this photo but now 5 since losing my mom. I miss you everyday 🤍

You can also call or Email your representative and senators about this as well. And when the respond with non answers keep contacting the. And challenge them. They hate being overwhelmed with calls, emails, and letters from the people they represent. Let your voice be heard!

This is literally one of his only jobs. Call or Email your representative and senators. Challenge them to do their job.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Valentine’s Day and my 33rd birthday

It’s pretty cold

I baked some valentines/birthday cupcakes for me and my trivia group. Fingers crossed the snow doesn’t cancel it!

Wait for the internet people to replace our router
