BREAKING: Elon Musk's Ex, Grimes just replied to one of his Tweets with this urgent message to him:

Amanda Zurawski, one of the Texas women who nearly died due to the states abortion ban, has been named one of Time’s Women of the Year.

Wesleyan University’s Michael Roth in @washingtonpost.com

Another DC protest sign. 💙💙🔥

Well, isn’t this just a bunch of lies? The White House moved to clarify Musk’s role within the DOGE after a court filing this morning stated that the tech billionaire is neither an employee nor an administrator of the commission and has “no actual or formal authority to make government decisions.”

Delicious.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Remember the right-wing plot to sabotage Jimmy Carter’s re-election by urging Iran to hold American hostages longer? You don’t? It’s a shocking example of the American right’s treachery that more people should know about. (Gift link to 2023 NYT story.)

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

I wonder how much of the "women lose their minds during menopause" is actually just exhaustion & fury at 50+ years of dealing with men & all their bullshit. Like in the last two years, my give a fuck has got up & went. It has left the building. I may actually get a concussion from eye rolling.

When you ponder previous archivist decisions … not seen this before

Absorbed in a good book: Quintilia Fischieri of Bologna in 1600. Painted by Federico Barocci, whose day is today.

I don't know who needs to hear this but you are allowed to get treatment for your anxiety and depression even if you suspect that their root cause is late-stage capitalism and societal collapse.

Big shout out to the librarians who are creating guides to alternate locations for data and data rescue efforts on their library websites! I just noticed these were added to our doc! @americanuniversity.bsky.social American Univ: subjectguides.library.american.edu/data_rescue

What does the National Archives do? And why does the firing of the National Archivist matter? This article by Dominic Byrd-McDevitt is worth your time and is pretty eye opening. www.linkedin.com/pulse/we-sho... #archives #recordsmanagement #democracy

bsky.app/profile/jenn... TESLA PROTEST IN CLEVELAND IN THE SNOW FOLKS. #LetsGo #ImpeachTrump #BurnTheOligarchy

There are easily 300+ people boycotting our local Tesla! Bless those people for toughing it out during a Cleveland snow storm!

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: “Yes, people are pissed. And it is not hard to see why. As we watch these protests play out across the country, we're also watching a metaphorical ticking bomb… in a country where we suddenly have to worry about the safety of air travel, and of our *literal* nuclear bombs.”

Hell, yes! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This is what democracy looks like! COLUMBUS, OHIO. #NotMyPresidentDay Part 1

Fuck Elon🖕🏻 Fuck Trump 🖕🏻 And Especially Fuck those that voted for this shit 🖕🏻 #SheShed

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Elon Musk’s claim of Social Security fraud is…a fraud. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Coincidence or nah? While Nazi-scum, rapist-felon Trump & his henchmen deport immigrants, RFK Jr., seemingly out of nowhere, comes up with a loonybin idea; slave labor disguised as "wellness farms." Good God. 🤬

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

Thousands of protesters opposing President Trump’s agenda took to the streets on Monday across the U.S., derisively calling him a “king” on Presidents’ Day for his efforts to terminate thousands of federal workers and to fire prosecutors and independent watchdogs. nyti.ms/3CQA2LX

The Washington Post pulled an ad that was set to run in some editions on Tuesday calling for Elon Musk to be fired from his role in government, a group that ordered the ad said. It would have covered the front and back pages of editions delivered to the White House, the Pentagon and Congress.

Internet: do your thing. Please amplify this request!!

from the Orphan Train movement to Indigenous boarding schools to Georgia Tann and the Tennessee Children’s Home, punishing marginalized people by “rehoming” and “reparenting” their children is a through-line in US history.

“‘We asked why they wouldn’t run the wrap when we clearly met the guidelines if they were allowing the internal ad,’ said Virginia Kase Solomón, the president and chief executive of Common Cause. ‘They said they were not at liberty to give us a reason.’”

No one in Republican world seems to have a lot of curiosity about why Musk needs people’s personal data to engage in government cost cutting

Notice Vance and Musk always come to the defense of anti-semites, racists, bigots and a bunch of pro-Nazi folks under the guise of "free speech." Odd. Just...so odd.

Imagine you have over $400 billion and you spend your time working to deny hungry children around the world meals to avoid starvation.

This gives me joy.

Just gonna put this out here because I needed to vent and it turns out I have a website, so why not? #GLAMS #archives #archivists 📜 www.pop-archives.com/post/archive...

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

WTF!!! Eric Adams just invoked Adolf Hitler and said that those calling for his resignation over his corrupt deal with Trump’s DOJ to drop his indictment amount to “a modern-day ‘Mein Kampf.' This is insane.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

We could have had a human president right now. We could have been led by someone who went to battle for the most vulnerable and marginalized among us—and not with them. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-could-h...
