People are fucking horrible

A lot can happen in five months. 🇺🇸

From a bull market to a bullshit market #ThankYouDonald

I’m the Executive Director of Blue Missouri — a grassroots org designed to help nominees on the ballot in the reddest and most rural districts. We don’t give “endorsements.” We give money. We fund down ballot Dems — we are the only organization regularly funding rural candidates. bluemissouri.org

Pete Hegseth has ordered a massive review of DOD computer archives in an attempt to “align” the department with Trump’s directive to eliminate anything related to DEI. @radiofreetom.bsky.social asks: What are America's warfighters so afraid of?

Democrats, I can introduce you to any organizer in rural Missouri. Hell, I have contacts in each state. Come out and speak to the lies that are happening in GOP statehouses and the White House. No one is talking to us. Folks will show up — I promise. Bring the truth. I will help you!

Elon's government email is: [email protected] Please don't send anything to it, that would not be good at all! theintercept.com/2025/03/06/e...

Day 1 on the left. Day 2 on the right. Don't let anyone tell you that pushback is pointless. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Anti-Musk sentiments continue to rise worldwide. Tesla’s reputation continues to fall. #EndOligarchy #BoycottTesla

New — HHS just got another email with guidance stating that they aren’t required to respond to the 5 bullets email, but if they do they should follow specific guidelines including: “Assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly.”

Timothy Snyder is an expert of modern authoritarianism.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests,” President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, January 6, 1941

Good morning, friends. May your coffee be strong and your day productive. Find something, no matter how small, that you’ll feel proud to accomplish and do it. Then pat yourself on the back. Go you!

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Democrats shld make clear to voters that this gives Musk's private sector employees the power to stop checks to any individual recipient in the US (Soc Sec, vets benefits, Medicare) as well as examine their private financial info. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

Dear Americans who voted for Trump, You voted to put an incredibly small, petty, pathetic, un-American person in charge. You voted to make America more divided and less secure. That’s such a shame. Sincerely, Your fellow American

US government employees have just been given the option to decide now that they will resign in September.

It is very easy to call your representatives’ offices. They have to log your calls and the call numbers are meaningful. You don’t even have to try to convince anyone; just call and tell them your concerns. They are there to represent you. Let them know what that means. www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

If you’re in the US and you’d like to know what projects and vital services federal grants currently fund in your state, you can search here: www.usaspending.gov And you can find the contact information for your elected representatives here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi... They need to hear from you.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

NPR’s It’s Been a Minute is working on a series about loneliness, and we want to hear from you. What does loneliness look like for you? How did you come to realize it was a problem? If you’re older than 18, send us a voice memo to [email protected] to tell us more.
