Collaborators with the fascists.

If you are a Southern California person upset about @schumer.senate.gov ‘s craven betrayal of our country, the theatre his book tour will be at on 3/23 is the Moss Theatre. Their phone number is 310-828-5582

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Thank you, Speaker Nancy Pelosi

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Here are my color combinations so far for the colorful granny squares. Colors are magenta pink, Christmas green, white and navy blue. One of my cats has decided that it’s has a calming energy. 🧶

Playing with brighter colors with the next set of granny squares. I still don’t know how to read the charts. This #knitter is learning #crochet #grannysquares with YouTube. Crochet definitely eats more yarn than knitting but it’s satisfying to finish a square. 🧶

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

At @standupforscience.bsky.social and the signs are statistically significantly excellent

"NO KINGS LIVE HERE"

The ability to control mass party opinion this directly is unlike anything I’ve really seen in my time covering politics.

“This is private, confidential data including Social Security numbers and earnings of virtually all people in the country...” "Federal law restricts access 'to authorized persons and... authorized purposes' such as child support enforcement..." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

A #fact is objective information. An #opinion is a personal belief. #Ignorance is a lack of facts. And #stupidity is a rejection of facts in favor of opinions.

Statement from the #AmericanMeteorologicalSociety. It gives the background of #NOAA, its private and public partners and the value added impacts to businesses climate research and public safety.

Look what's happening at the French Embassy in Washington DC.

Target is facing a 40-day consumer boycott starting Wednesday over the company’s shift away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

This #knitter has finally found her #crochet groove with learning granny squares. Finished a 90 inch scarf with neutral colors accented with brown and blue. Did a join as you go almond beige border around each square. Finished with a two row single crochet border in brown. 🧶 it’s keeping me sane.

#Resistance in song and voice - those who know their history will understand the bravery of this moment, as they sung #LesMis to the “leaders” in gilded cages. Thank you #USArmyChorus youtu.be/pIQh_5dZUwI?...

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

Sheesh.

It seems there was a dinner at the WH where a military choir serenaded the orange turd and his guest with a rendition of One Day More from Les Miserables, and the ignorant fools loved it. This is what happens when you don’t read. People mock you to your face. 😹

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

Dead people don’t receive social security. Funeral homes are following protocol with Form SSA-721. Once filed, all benefits and payments end. Musk-rat and his minions are clueless and lying. #socialsecurity #deadpeople #SSA

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: The biggest hustle is the fact that Republicans are planning to hurt everyday Americans by doing things like destroying Medicaid... they want to pass massive tax cuts for their billionaire donors and wealthy corporations and stick working class Americans with the bill.

Various sources from the Los Angeles County Bar Association #LACBA have confirmed and the #LosAngeles Times leaked a memo stating that starting February 23, 2025, #ICE will start their “knock and talk” practices in the greater LA area. Do not open the door unless they have a signed judicial warrant!

Great to be back at UChicago Institute of Politics tonight. Tune in.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Very much so. So I wonder if Tim Burchett is gonna put up or shut up...

I did not vote for the Musk-Rat or Trump to be President.

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

It’s no secret that Chair Powell and I disagree on a lot, but today we agreed: without the CFPB, there is no federal regulator making sure giants banks don't cheat you.

A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided access to evidence used in court.

A federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to restore CDC, FDA and HHS webpages that Trump had ordered to be deleted. This comes after doctors sued the Trump administration for interfering with their treatment of patients.

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link. Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts. This was a Superbowl ad. And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

FYI: The American Medical Association has a YouTube channel to share updates on Bird Flu, public health issues and outbreaks now that the CDC can not. You can subscribe to their channel for free. youtube.com/@americanmed... #AMA #YouTube #CDC #PublicHealth

Did you hear the latest? Now there is a list of #banned words! WTF! The list of banned words circulating at the National Science Foundation includes: women, disability, bias, status, trauma, Black, Hispanic communities, as well as socioeconomic, ethnicity and systemic. www.kpbs.org/news/economy...
