That awkward moment when everyone's looking at everyone else to see who will do something first about the horror show unfolding right in front of them. #AmericanFascism

What I’ve been saying (screaming). Now there’s data.

Imma finally be eligible for the senior discount lifetime #NationalParksPass and the whole #NationalParkService is gonna be gone. Just my luck. any snark on this, @altnps.bsky.social ?

If #DOGE wants to do some ACTUAL #budgetcuts, they can start at the #Pentagon, where NO ONE CAN EVEN ACCOUNT FOR ALL THE MONEY IT GETS. But the #MuskMelon is too chickenshit for that work.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

States' responses to #Drumpf 's attempt to stop the #EVtransition is mostly "wait and see," but progressive states like IL are pressing forward regardless. Detailed article from @insideclimatenews.org insideclimatenews.org/news/1302202...

This is fascism.

AND this deranged punk-ass m'fer is permitted to breed copiously, one might well say recklessly. WTAF? people.com/elon-musk-we...

On top of the political sh!tstorm and #DOGE takeover of government agencies, we gotta worry about our own #nukes going off in our own backyard now. www.npr.org/2025/02/14/n...

#ElonMusk is the new poster child for #corporatewelfare atlantablackstar.com/2025/02/14/e...

I get the sense that a lot of appointed #federaljudges are going to be doing a lot of #savingdemocracy work for the new few years.

I need someone to answer this damn question!

What could go wrong? www.npr.org/2025/02/13/n...

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

Dear California construction industry. Here is a glimpse of your (hopefully very near) future: www.redwoodnews.tv/lifestyles/h... France and Australia are way ahead on this, so you can ask them for help.

SCOOP: Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

#USA: "We urge the US government to immediately resume funding of critical humanitarian and health aid, either through rescinding relevant orders freezing funding or expanding the current narrow humanitarian waiver to cover all necessary health and humanitarian programs." - @avrilbenoit.bsky.social

Okay, okay, some good news: www.pv-magazine.com/2025/02/07/i...

And so begins a new global #racetothebottom, led by a retrograde USA. Fear of "loss of competitiveness" drives markets (i.e., wealth-building investors) to consider dropping pro- #environment regulations like a hot potato. www.wsj.com/articles/eur...

Some small justice. But of course it had to come from other quarters, far from the U.S. apnews.com/article/indo...

Yo, #techbros, isn't it AWESOME that your crush #ElonMusk is taking over the guv'mint? So cool, right? Now we can really straighten things out, right? Y'know, at the expense of stupid democratic controls and balance of power bs. So cool!

Yeah, but we had a good run of it.

People-centric #urbanplanning is gaining steam. My former hometown of Columbus, OH, did a similar retrofit about 10 years ago. A downtown cement river channel is now a walkable, more resilient park.

Delightedly starting in on Wonderlust Productions' original #HiddenHerald series, a creative audio tour of Twin Cities' history in stories and poetry, performed & produced by local artists. wlproductions.org/hh-virtual-a...

#LosAngeles could benefit from #hemplime construction when they rebuild the fire-stricken areas and for future construction. #fireresistant #nontoxic #carbonnegative
