Promises made, promises kept!

I don't really know how to shout this from the rooftops any louder: If this actually happens, it would spell the end of U.S. numerical weather prediction--the scientific models, run on supercomputers, used to create virtually all weather forecasts. www.axios.com/2025/0...

Athena is the friendliest chick. She’s a sweet pea who just always wants to be in my arms sleeping . 🐥🐥🐣🐤🐤🐣

Incredible stuff in here: They ID'ed him, in part, by going to court hearings and watching him post

This is genius.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Literally suing to help another authoritarian who also tried to overthrow his country's government. City on a hill no more.

If you're still on instagram, facebook or threads (and twitter of course) you are enabling this. You say you can't leave because that's where your audience is? Tough shit. You are enabling this. Suck it up. I did. Did it hurt my sales? Absolutely. Was it the right thing to do? Absolutely.

Mr. “Environmental Activist” Robert Fuckin Kennedy killed climate change grants at NIH that were designed to do things like address the risk of malaria becoming commonplace in the U.S. due to warmer weather. By @davidcorn.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Somebody needs to do this

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

Yeah I know people say anxiety is bad, but mine has just been collecting all the possible things that can go wrong so far. Once it has an exhaustive catalog of every possible mishap, it’ll move on to suggesting solutions and then you better watch out.

New 🧵: A Brief History of Coups What do we mean when we talk about a coup? Is what Trump doing a coup? Has the coup already occurred? In this thread I'll provide some insight from research in comparative politics. (1/9)

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

“The reason we face the worst is because it helps us imagine the best.” What a fantastic, hopeful read. Treat yourself to this, and then spread it around.

Nothing to worry about, just an administration official suggesting that the DOJ may prosecute a member of Congress for advising people about their rights. Happening right now. Right in front of us.

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

I think the reason people are frustrated with Democratic leaders is that they expect these elected representatives to act like a real disaster is happening, which it is. Four-day weekends and bratwurst junkets in Munich kind of undercut that

I’m thinking about federal income tax. If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we? Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.

Reverse Hunger Games. Should be a thing. Eat the rich. May the odds be never again on their side.

Yum yum. Spelt flour fettuccine 😋

If you live in New York State and think Gov. Kathy Hochul should remove the corrupt mayor of NYC, give her a call or send her a letter.

NEW: A memo obtained by @wired.com shows that CISA is reviewing every position related to election security & countering mis- and disinformation and frozen the agency's election security work. @ericgeller.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/cisa-e...

This is corruption on a scale unseen before in American history. www.dropsitenews.com/p/elon-musk-...

If you've ever used the Polity data, read this from Monty Marshall. tl;dr Polity is coding recent US events as an executive self-coup and an adverse regime change.

A pro-Hitler paid advertisement is being served to users of X, encouraging them to rethink their opinions of the genocidal Nazi leader.

I started talking about our life under competitive authoritarianism c.2017. Lots of folks on the Hellsite told me I was hysterically exaggerating. I’m appalled we’re here. But I’m glad to see the founding experts on competitive authoritarianism clearly explaining exactly where we are in 🇺🇸 in 2025.

NEW: In a move that could jeopardize U.S. election security at the state level, the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency put employees tasked with securing elections from foreign threats on administrative leave.

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

What other professional organizations want to follow suit? University Presidents, perhaps?

Lutheran Services resettles refugees in South Carolina. They are on the hook for hundreds of new refugees with no support. They are faith based but have volunteers of all backgrounds. Consider donating—fighting Trump is also about caring for those whom he targets. youtube.com/watch?v=wxKA...

Well, the rest of the country is thinking about the Super Bowl, here on BlueSky we’re thinking very carefully about the implications of potential changes to the federal indirect rate on science grants.

Not so brilliant.

Find a protest near you. We can't promote wildlife and save what little is left without addressing the political situation we find ourselves in. The radical right must be stopped. Get involved Get in this fight www.mobilize.us/indivisible/

They're waking up.

We all know fossil fuel companies are beyond shameless, but it takes a special kind of sociopathy to announce $9.1 billion in profits, and a 50% cut to renewable energy investments ON THE SAME DAY. Great work as always, #Equinor 🤮

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...
