The irony

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

How completely jealous am I of Brazil right now

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

Billionaire co-founder of AirBnB Joe Gebbia has joined Elon Musk’s DOGE team, so let’s spread awareness and make sure nobody books a goddamn thing through AirBnB ever again, shall we?

"Attention, corporations: if you want our dollars, it’s time to do the right thing. "The NAACP just launched the Black Consumer Advisory to help inform Black buyers [and allies] on which companies support us and which don’t." Diversity, equity & inclusion #DEI naacp.org/campaigns/bl...

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

I think folks think you can talk to a Trump-voter long enough and they will change. Wrong. Their voting habits will change when they are impacted and hurt by Trump policies...maybe. There's no reason to spend a lot of your time on them. Organize. March. Boycott. Write. Call. And then rest.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

“For those looking to join dots, there is fodder from Musk’s early life with a neo-Nazi grandfather who moved from Canada to South Africa because he liked the idea of apartheid through his high school education in a system infused with white supremacy ideology.” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The AfD is the neo-Nazi party. Elon Musk and now JD Vance have shown strong support for the AfD in the run-up to German elections. Aside from the serious questions about meddling in another democracy, why is the GOP so quiet about this signal of antisemitism?

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer? She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

I rode the back of the bus. I buried Dr. King. You want me to participate in your little hate-a-thon against some other group? Kindly kiss my black ass.

Conquest: Trump War: Hegseth Famine: Musk Death: RFK

This is your daily reminder that it's a coup.

BREAKING - Democrats CRUSHING special elections Iowa state Senate - Democrat FLIPPED a Trump+21 seat by 4% Minnesota state Senate - Democrat outperformed by +20 points Westchester County NY Executive - Dem outperform +2 The anti-Trump anti-Musk backlash is RISING UP

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

The AMA has a YouTube page where you can catch up on all the fun, ongoing TB & bird flu outbreaks, since the CDC is no longer allowed to do that: youtube.com/watch?v=HlPB...

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.

Not even trying to hide it…
