Just reached 290,000 followers here on Bluesky, and, well: Wow. Thank you for being part of my experience here. To celebrate this really cool milestone, I've donated to Black Girls Do STEM, because we need diversity in STEM fields more than ever these days. Onward! bgdstem.com

The guy who says federal employees should not work from home because they're out golfing... is out golfing. Since 1/20/25, he’s spent 27.27% golfing Go figure. “What works for thee does not work for me.” trumpgolftrack.com

Just like we shouldn’t be firing FAA employees when commercial airliners are flipping upside down.

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

“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.

THIS is The Truth! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

The exhaustion is starting to set in in the markets.

Heroin addict and roadkill enthusiast, RFK Jr. kills flu shot campaigns and cancels a major vaccination conference.

The Dalmatian Pelican says Good morning Blue Sky

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

He nails it.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

This is really something

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

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.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

"Even the folks on Gilligan's Island knew to listen to the professor not the millionaire"

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

🚨 #AltGov Alert 🚨 We are excited to introduce you to @roguefema.bsky.social Who better to help navigate these stormy times than an expert in disasters? Welcome to the family!

Hey Republicans who “love” fake agency DOGE:

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did on J6

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

My partner is a federal worker, & they just alerted me that people are being escorted out of the building today by homeland security (which protects the buildings) People were concerned about being fired today,& I suspect this is what is happening Truly fucked up.. & unforgivable shit

Dark Pence is back.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

Math is hard

The USDA and the NNSA did NOT "accidentally fire" anyone. They did it on purpose. The DOGE team is just too arrogant and lazy to look at what any of these people do and ask themselves "should our nuclear stockpile be left with no one looking after it? how about bird flu?". Eat the rich.

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.
