The new forecast from the Atlanta Fed now projects that the U.S. economy will *shrink* by 1.5% in Q1 2025. The previous estimate had been that the economy would *grow* by 2.3%. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Happening now: in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, students at Sullivan High School are walking out this afternoon in protest of ICE and Trump's deportation regime.

I’d like to apologize to President Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine on behalf of the people of the United States of America

Someone generously shared this template of a handout they were inspired to create for their local community with me. Here's a canva link if you'd like to adapt it for your communities: www.canva.com/design/DAGgN...

I just wanna say fuck Biden for not using the power the SC granted his position while he had a chance. You had one job Joe.

The president sits while Elon stands. That tells us who’s really in charge.

Amy voted to confirm: - Marco Rubio (State) - Doug Burgum (Interior) - Brooke Rollins (Ag) - Sean Duffy (Transportation) - Doug Collins (VA) - John Ratcliffe (CIA)

The way we're already pricing in authoritarianism is very, very bad. Trump is using his power as president to openly retaliate against a law firm for representing Jack Smith and it's barely news. The signal this sends is chilling to anyone who would oppose him. What else will he do to his opponents?

The government punishing a law firm for defending a client seems like the kind of tyranny we fought a revolution against.

In 15 years, after American democracy has been totally destroyed, historians in other countries will look back and say AOC was the only voice fighting the authoritarian regime. If that’s not the future you want, it’s time for dems to make their voices heard. @democrats.org

Resegregation

guess we gotta take the law into our own hands

#TeslaTakedown is in solidarity with @womensmarch.bsky.social! Join their march coming up on March 8th. Info at womensmarch.com!

The American Jews using their Jewishness to carry water for fascists. . . lol

Elon Musk is a parasite.

Even though Rubio promised life-saving aid wouldn't be interrupted, it has essentially been halted worldwide, interrupting HIV and TB treatment and threatening millions of lives. People are dying today because of these chaotic, inconsistent stop work orders. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

As in “the fox guarding the henhouse.”

Serious question: At what point do we start refusing to pay our income taxes?

Fūck the N4ZIS!

It's actually incredibly funny and reasonable and sensible that the Democrats have no idea how to organize themselves for direct action because they've marginalized, undermined, and removed everyone in the party who ever staged a protest 😂

Trump blames Black people for plane crash after purging safety team

OpenAI accusing DeepSeek of intellectual property theft for allegedly training on GPT output is a classic case of “the pot calling the kettle black,” especially given the lawsuits against OpenAI for using copyrighted material in its own training data.

years have passed and google hasn’t still corrected pronunciation of Māori place names on google maps but the corporation is managing to implement change the on gulf of mexico within days maps are political www.renews.co.nz/why-google-m...

@dasiasade.bsky.social you're one of my favorite YouTubers And I would imagine, people.

The post-9/11 war powers have grown and grown, leaving presidents with more unchecked power than ever. For years Biden and Congress had a chance to restrict these powers. They squandered it. Now Trump is regaining these authorities. Me @newrepublic.com: newrepublic.com/article/1894...

California voted for child slave labor

I’m excited for @gregcasar.bsky.social’s leadership at the Progressive Caucus. He’s going to be great.

They dont allow cuss words in handles but ANY SLUR is fair game as handle. Now I got a problem.

If you're enjoying Bluesky and you don't want it to turn into the cesspool of hate that Twitter did, you best speak up now. Cut that 'I don't know what to say' shit out and amplify Black and queer voices, because the BS team ain't listening to us.

It's bitterly disappointing to see the lack of response and correction from the leadership/mods on Bluesky to make this a safe and welcoming environment for Black users. None of the Black women I know who want to leave Twitter have any interest in being here.

Upon putting the first rechargeable batteries into the stereo remote, and being howesilepwa about it, I have to wonder "Am I now my Grandpa?"
