Very cool project at Sadie’s future high school. I hope this is still around when she gets there next year: www.ashburnmagazine.com/amazingkids/... via Ashburn Magazine

I’m obsessed with this #podcast. Listening from the beginning (again) so I’m refreshed for season 4! Congrats to the entire insanely talented cast and crew of @redvalleypod.bsky.social — you made something incredible. Bravo 🙌

🚨SEASON FINALE!🚨 ‘Just hold your bloody nerve.’ It’s time! Season 4, Episode 6: ‘A Person From Porlock’, is out now! Listen to the season finale wherever you find podcasts or use the link below!👇 pod.link/1502771083

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

As Democrats hold the Senate floor, Senator Warnock calls out Trump's OMB director pick Russell Vought for working hand-in-hand with Elon Musk.

Bird flu outbreaks are driving up egg prices for families. Now, Elon Musk wants to shut down USAID, the agency responsible for monitoring outbreaks in dozens of foreign countries. With egg prices increasing grocery bills, why halt efforts to prevent a U.S. bird flu crisis?

RFK Jr. is a danger to public health. Every Republican senator who votes yes will own the consequences. When RFK Jr. follows anti-vax conspiracies instead of science, when he greenlights Trump's anti-abortion agenda, when he cuts healthcare for seniors — remember who voted yes.

Their response to "he's violating the Constitution" is really "but bro is so sick at coding." US rule of law in shambles. Tech ideology is really that kind of caricature of itself.

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

SCHIFF: “Why is this firing of FBI agents such an important piece of this effort by Trump, Musk & their enablers? Because if they're going to raid the treasury, take people's private data, illegally shut down agencies... They don't want an FBI to examine anything they're doing.”

Singing truth to power, this song by the indomitable #jeniferlewis provides the perfect soundtrack for today’s #50501 protests. We are gonna need warriors to fight back against the fascist coup taking place. The biggest threat to democracy is silence. It is too important to leave just to politicians

Cuny graduate school VOLUNTARILY rolls back pregnant students’ protections after Trump letter CUNY could just continue to protect pregnant students . There’s no risk of Trump retribution—they’ve decided they don’t want to?! What an example to set! #loligarchy www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Rep Raskin making sense on Musk’s attempted coup. More of this please. newrepublic.com/article/1911...

"It can compromise the identities and compromise the future professional capabilities of these individuals who have joined the CIA..." Fmr. CIA Director John Brennan on Trump’s CIA reportedly sending the names of recently hired CIA employees to the White House in an unclassified email.

Hey, we identitified a few of the researchers responsible for creating this DEI Watch List thing. This website still doesnt allow images to be uploaded through Tor tho, so here's the link to a consolidated version of our ID thread on Twitter: threadreaderapp.com/thread/18873...

LOL the White House released its policy stating that White House personnel may never engage in communications with DoJ that could influence an investigation. Then it spends 3 pages explaining that the president can, though.

ALERT TO FEDERAL WORKERS: The Thursday “deadline” set by Musk isn’t a thing. Congress hasn’t appropriated the funds to pay you what he promised should you resign by today — nor has Congress authorized anyone to threaten you with losing anything for staying on. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Jules Feiffer completely innovated political cartoons, expanding beyond one-panel punchlines and visual tropes by featuring ordinary people, often in monologue, being riled, resigned, grousing—and dancing. Straight up one of the best to ever do it.

Remember, the kids are watching. Follow for more cartoons!

I kept this screenshot assuming someday we might be asked to forget.

On pro-Trump website, many people expressed hopes for executions of Democrats, judges or law enforcement linked to the Jan. 6 cases. They called for jurists or police to be hanged, pummeled to death, ground up in wood chippers or thrown from helicopters. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

This makes my head and heart hurt. Just like I remember peak Twitter, I remember peak NYT. I could not despise it more now.

Trump declaring specific people “very guilty” even though they haven’t even been charged is wild.

AMEN. Watch this. And know why no, if you voted for Trump, you are not a good person.

Passing on this beautiful art

We’re one day closer to Trump leaving office (one way or another).

Just discovered this pod and I am a HUGE fan. Highly recommend! #podcast #audiodrama #podcasts #podfic

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

Over the next four years, we can—I would argue must—work for a better America. To do so, we need to avoid not only apathy, but impatience. Because this is going to be a grind. (Thread)

🤦‍♀️ Welp, there goes the last bastion of humanity. We don’t need “riveting storytelling.” We need facts and balanced information that help us make informed decision. I have zero faith in the Washington Post or the New York Times… 😒

If you took all of the women who have ever served in the United States House of Representatives, living or dead, and put them in the House chamber, you would still have 39 empty seats. We've got a long way to go.

We are headed for some rocky times. There will be good days & there will be bad days. The only thing I know is that I am fortunate to be here with so many friends. People I can laugh with, cry with, or share my fear with Let’s stay connected, Let’s stay united. Support eachother . Love you all 💙

That little dwarf on Fox News, Greg Gutfeld, needs to quit whining about Michelle Obama not going to Donald Trump's inauguration. Donald Trump didn't go to President Biden's inauguration and I bet Greg didn't say sh*t.

Today, I stood before the North Carolina Supreme Court, spending 30 minutes reading aloud a portion of the 60,000 voter names being challenged by Jefferson Griffin. This is still happening. Please join @cantwinvictoryfund.bsky.social in Raleigh or online. Live feed- www.youtube.com/live/tKclYof...
