“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Accurate

people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

Pew pew pew pew pew

Homeland Security Secretary can’t secure her own purse.

This picture is concerning. The planet is much closer to us than I thought.

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

Here's the webpage put up by the office of Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes for people to notify her office if they're havig problems dealing with Social Security. Every state AG's office could do this. Might help. www.azag.gov/socialsecurity

Mother is here now 😍

The #ElectoralCollege is #DEI for #RedStates

And explain how important keeping government services open, along with paying benefits on time.

You Are Sane If you are terrified, you are SANE. If you are crying, you are SANE. If you are anxious, you are SANE. If you are traumatized, you are SANE. If you are grieving, you are SANE. If you are depressed, you are SANE. What’s happening is INSANE. But YOU ARE SANE. You are sane.

A few people have shared this here today, so I thought I’d post it.

“Illegal” doing a lot of heavy lifting here as Trump matches towards being a dictator. Trump can’t be allowed to define it contrary to the 1st Amendment & rules regarding private property. But beyond that, it should provoke an uproar. Peace protest is an American value.

Absolutely beautiful. Slava Ukraini!

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE. Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!? secured.heritage.org/the-heritage... Please share with a friend or a thousand :)

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country." The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…
