These GOP townhalls are the whitest protests I've ever seen #Musk

They learned something from their first term. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a grift is a good guy with principles. So this time they're firing all the good guys with principles.

For years, we have tried -- and failed -- to explain that the federal government plays a critically important part in many people's lives. So thank you Elon Musk for the truly inspirational civics lesson! #ElonMusk #FederalJob @loridm.bsky.social @chrislongview.bsky.social

In politics, there are no permanent friends, etc. Thank you, Mike Pence. Will we see a group of GOPers step up on this issue?

Are there no federal workers in any GOP congressional district?

More than 100 years after finally winning the right to vote, there are still people who are unhappy about it. @lewissuffragette.bsky.social chicago.suntimes.com/other-views/...

Props to Bluesky for reacting quickly to reactivate my account after inexplicably taking it down. What's infuriating is not knowing why it happened in the first place. Did I post something offensive? Did someone report me? Too many em dashes or ellipses? Would love to know! @bsky.app

OMG - I hope Axios advertisers are satisfied with this -- they may want more: @tpm.bsky.social

Dear Mark Cuban - you're smart enough to know what Democrats can and can't do -- maybe set up a fund yourself for terminated federal employees? It is absurd for men like you who are so wealthy to be backseat drivers tody @19thnews.org @tpm.bsky.social @mollyjongfast.bsky.social

Is this @theonion.com ? Because if it isn't, and this is how the media is going to cover his insanity, we are well and truly f**ked

It was bad enough that we elected a Black man to be president, is what white men (and women) were thinking. Saying that a Black woman would be better at the job than a white man? A step too far.

And now is the time when we see what companies REALLY gots women’s backs,,, the world is watching 👀

Proud to be one of the 350 rabbis signing this statement — an ad in the NYT today and a declaration of our values. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... For more—and to sign— go to saynotoethniccleansing.org

these cabinet announcements are like an advent calendar counting down to the apocalypse

I'm, glad I didn't see @bsky.app 's offensive, ageist anniversary post pointed out on LinkedIn by Janine Vanderburg - Come on, Bluesky, you can do better. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

In times like these, it's useful to look back at the obstacles faced and overcome by people fighting for their rights. @lewissuffragette.bsky.social

So, general strike? Maybe just after or before the March 14 government shutdown deadline?

So you know how European countries have national strikes? I know there are so many differences between us, but what other recourse do we have?

Totally under-appreciated show that tackled so many issues...

Has anyone asked Sam how they feel about this?

Doesn't this feel like the last desperate attempt by white men to put a finger in the dyke of diversity?

Huh. Identity politics for the white guys sure looks different.

Is there any demographic group in the US, aside from white men, that feels completely at ease publicly expressing their likes and dislikes?

Hah! 'Darwni's waiting room'

Guess that whole 'shooting at a Black person' thing was really a thing. #ByByFetterman

What people don’t realize is that you don’t HAVE to watch that thing, you can just read.

Gee, remember the old days when the NFL kind of sort of, said racism was bad? www.nfl.com/videos/goode...

Wow. Way to tell your Black players and coaches and fans that you couldn't care less about civil rights if it affects a single dollar of profit #NFL #SuperBowl

Sigh. Maybe send her a book about being an ally? Or someone can write a song about it for her?

There’s a reason that Taco Tuesday and $3 margaritas are a thing, but there’s no such thing as unseasoned chicken Wednesday or raisins in potato salad Thursday…

Klobuchar: What is the difference between Greenland and Donald Trump? Greenland is not for sale. *boo* Klobuchar: Ok. For any Republican Trump Administration person who wants to throw eggs at me because of that joke. You can’t because they’re too expensive.

That's so wrong

Do you think I could make money designing kneepads for all these GOPers who have to keep taking the knee?

It's the LBJ quote writ large: "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket."

When your business is extracting natural resources, that's what you're going to do. Asking them to do something different - especially when you sit back and look at how prevalent fossil fuels are in our everyday products -
