Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

I wonder why Musk is focused on the federal civilian workforce (4% of the budget) and not federal contractors, which account for 3x more annual spending and are more prone to waste, fraud, and abuse?

the definition of adult vs child is always arbitrary but goddamn, the choices we make. 19: a child if you're trans and looking for healthcare. 12: an adult if you're Black and you've stolen a bike. 25: a kid if you're a white mass shoooter. 13: an adult if you're a girl getting married

You know, I have always felt awful for the people that either make it almost to retirement or just past and have some kind of major injury or illness. But not for Mitch McConnell. I am not sad at all.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

Nurses are outraged that the Trump administration rescinded guidelines protecting hospitals from immigration raids. Our patients should never be forced to forego lifesaving treatment because our government turned hospitals into places of harm and terror. www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/nurses...

I was looking for some small daily acts of resistance that everyone could do, and I thought I would share. I like the idea of putting these out in various languages in public spaces.

If you call a concentration camp a "detention center," it's still a concentration camp. Just like if you call the Gulf of Mexico, the "Gulf of America," it's still the Gulf of Mexico.

Checking my notes, but isn’t this a confirmation hearing, not the Thom Tillis op-ed show? Ask a question or shut up, bro.

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders. The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people. Now, they are trying to lie about it. Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

Tonight, I am grateful for my cats being awesome, for hearing owls hoot in the trees for the last couple days, for the fact that my parents found a home nearby and are able to make it what they want it to be. It’s rough right now, & tomorrow is a new fight. Take moments to care for yourself, all. 💗

Trae Crowder is too funny. It is so hard to laugh right now, but he always finds a way. "Crickets - hey maybe we can feed those to our kids." 😂 And that little wry smile after "We could run out of food in 2 days."

Now that they destroyed their own neighborhood, the Maga/Elon trolls are rolling in to BlueSky. My recommendation is to block early, on the first offense, without explanation. Here are my rules why I block them: open.substack.com/pub/therickw...
