Trump voters: Had enough yet?

When North Korea thinks you’ve gone too far with crazy shit.

i worry that we're on a roller coaster but still on the part where we are ticking up to the top

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

And in “I’m not as crazy as I thought and that is somehow not great news news” it turns out my crippling anxiety was mostly just intuition and that intuition was pretty spot on

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Hey. Why hasn’t Elon been arrested yet?

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

I’m very not on the US team right now. Like I’m actively rooting for everyone else. Trudeau- please give us retaliatory tariffs, Claudia Shienbaum- rescue your people and leave us to rot, China- I’m loving Red Note and trying to get Deep Seek. The US deserves all of the bad things coming to us

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

The Guardian view on the Washington DC plane crash: Trump’s warped priorities | Editorial

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

The head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker, resigned on January 20 — one year into his 5 year term — after facing relentless criticism from Musk for not approving SpaceX missions quickly enough. The Senate confirmed him unanimously in 2023. No acting FAA head has been appointed.

I feel like not being stressed right now is a huge red flag

Sen. Kevin Cramer touts $16 billion in cuts to the transportation budget 12 hours after the deadliest plane crash in America in 24 years

I think I'm going to have to log off of the internet for a bit before the news cycle breaks my brain entirely. Hundreds of millennia of human evolution have not provided us the cognitive tools required to process this level of administrative chaos.

MAGA yesterday: You LIBS are SICK! How dare you so soon after a crash mention Dear Leader Trump's shakeup at the FAA and how he gutted an aviation safety committee. MAGA today: THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF BIDEN AND DIVERSITY!

New Rule: If you write a children's book that seeks to indoctrinate kids against fellow American citizens and normalize domestic terrorism while featuring a character designed to idolize yourself, you forfeit the right to be FBI director.

The United States can’t still be a real country anymore, right?

I own The Departed on DVD but I don’t own a dvd player and none of our consoles have disc players anymore. I subscribe to several streaming services that have The Departed but I can only watch it if I pay 3.99 to rent it, even though I already pay them a monthly service. Capitalism sucks.

Part of my brain is still really struggling to understand how we are not all in the streets, shutting everything down.

“Elon Musk made a virtual appearance at a rally for the far-right Alternative for Germany party on Saturday, reiterating his support ahead of the country’s Feb. 23 snap election and telling the crowd that it’s time to ‘move on’ from ‘past guilt.’”

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business. Costco Meijer Kroger Giant Grocery Ben & Jerry’s Ulta, Macy’s Old Navy Nordstrom’s TJ Maxx GoTo Foods ( Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon…) Dollar Tree Walgreens Wegmans

I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.

He isn’t hiding it, so why are you providing cover for him @washingtonpost.com, @postopinions.bsky.social?

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

"Meta says its working urgently to fix a problem with Instagram which results in a 'results hidden' message when users search for the terms 'Democrat' or 'Democrats.'"

Again, the World Health Organization is the single most important global entity in preventing, tracking and controlling outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics and is especially important as climate change and deforestation allow pathogens to mutate, become more infectious and spread to new regions

My 15 year old son said “What if he pulls a Putin and just cancels elections now?”

I’ve had this poster hanging in my classroom for years
