Potato Buggin #caturday #catsofbluesky

This is what I mean by news outlets willingly letting themselves get language-policed by the far right. You used to be able to just call this a "Nazi salute." Now it's "a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month."

Trying to teach myself how to use a sewing machine today 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 #craftersofbluesky

If you read one thing today read our latest piece we just posted. This one is a very important one. Please consider reading and sharing it with your friends, family, and neighbors. And as always, please share your thoughts and ideas. I am also going to post all of the text here as a thread. 1/

Don’t worry, everyone. Our HHS Secretary has a bag of meth, a blowtorch and some de-wormer and he’s all over this.

Since I don't want to fall into the trap of presenting media criticism without solutions, let me offer one key idea. Your voice and attention are resources. As much as you use them to address media you don't like, perhaps consider making a concerted effort to amplify and support media you do like

Be a Hagan Scotten. You can refuse.

If you haven't called your banks to ask about what they're doing to protect you from the data breach that is Musk/DOGE, today should be a good day to do so and emphasize that without the CFPB you're really concerned about the future of VISA if they continue to partner with X as a money transfer tool

Saw this on insta and had to share it here too

Those bonehead Republicans managed to convince their base that trans women in sports was a huge issue—without showing a damn shred of data. They never drop facts because that would wreck their narrative. Look at these numbers… Less than 10 trans athletes out of 510,000 NCAA athletes nationwide.

His administration is literally composed of men who beat and batter women.

Got a lot of doom and gloom on my feed so here is my attempt at breaking up the monotony with a Chickpea photo #catsofbluesky

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

Everyone talking about the congressional mandate is missing this key point. A judge ordered these agencies, including NSF, to release appropriated funds immediately, and these agencies are not in compliance.

BREAKING: FBI agents file unprecedented class action lawsuit against Trump's Department of Justice.

We're only 2 weeks in and Trump has has managed to raise prices on prescriptions, groceries, cars, clothes, construction materials and more, for us — while making billions for himself off his meme coin and lawsuits extorting media companies. He's only "Making America Great" for him.

MAGA: No, Biden can't wipe away student loans. That's hella illegal unless Congress acts. Also MAGA: If Trump declares an entire federal agency "lunatics" he can do away with it and all the funding it distributes without bothering to inform Congress, let alone requiring any action.

"Elon Musk is not an elected member of the government. He is running the Department of Governmental Efficiency. ... It is not a government agency. It has never been created by Congress. It has no legal authority.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which Congress formed in the wake of the 2008 banking crisis to protect consumers from unfair, deceptive or predatory financial practices, was just instructed to immediately cease much of the bureau's work. www.npr.org/2025/02/03/n...

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

The experts, lawyers, and scholars who I’ve been speaking with since last night agree with me that it’s a coup and that this a 5-alarm fire.

‘Not Like Us’ by Kendrick Lamar wins Best Music Video at the 2025 #GRAMMYs.

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

This is what convinced me they’re going to intentionally crash the economy. They said it out loud several times.

Making a cat couch and my cat is being very disrespectful by sleeping directly NEXT to it but not ON it #crochet #catsofbluesky

I’m sorry did you just say that a white man got so sad about Black people having jobs he crashed a plane?

Fourteen hours before the crash. 👇

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

only appropriate political response here is to demand the white house explain how its actions aren’t responsible www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

What. A day

“This administration believes that the moon is made of cheese. This administration feels that there are 103 states. This administration asserts that penguins are communists. This administration thinks that Mickey Mouse did 9/11. This administration holds that mangoes are the real racists. This …”
