Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

I literally had this conversation with someone close to me. “Musk is going to cut so many agencies and funnel the money to spacex” “Well, I don’t think he can really do that…” I could scream.

Now more than ever.

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

📌Three soldiers are dead tonight. Their Commander in Chief took no responsibility for it, and didn’t show a shred of empathy. He is a tiny man, a coward, completely unfit for duty, and an embarrassment to all of us who served. I spit on him.

When there’s crime he blames Mexicans When there’s a pandemic he blames the Chinese When there’s police brutality he blames unarmed Black men When there’s a plane crash he blames women of color

The White House has suddenly removed this page. whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Literally happening as we speak

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify. The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips. Good job, friends.

#NeverForget

My friend @robdeez.bsky.social sums it up nicely.

When the dust settles, we will remember which companies stood on values and which ones tucked their tails and rolled over in the face of bullies. This is where we find out who leans into core values, and who only pretended as a marketing tool. Thank you, @benandjerrys.bsky.social

The U.S. Air Force has removed a video about the Tuskegee Airmen from its basic training curriculum at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland following Trump’s executive order banning federal DEI initiatives. The Tuskegee Airmen were pioneering Black pilots renowned for their service during World War II.

Tom Morello was right. And now, we are living in the bonafide Rage Against the Machine era. It is time to organize. Our government is not failing us, it is actively trying to destroy us. #ResistForRealThisTIme

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

if they want to go back to the 1950s, we’re bringing the cuisine back to the 1950s too. you put me in the kitchen, I will spend 100% of my time in there finding how much horseradish and shrimp I can put in Jello before God personally comes down here to stop me.

Shout out to the heroes who are still swamping Trump's federal anti-DEI snitch hotline: 1nadinesmith.substack.com/p/gumming-up...

A U.S. military veteran was reportedly among those detained

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

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

Yesterday, ICE raided a business in New Jersey and detained both citizens and non-citizens — without a warrant. They even detained a U.S. military veteran. Nobody is safe.

Every fucking MAGA cultist who fucking assured me that Trump had no fucking plans whatsoever to implement fucking Project 2025 can go fuck themselves.

Free to hate-delivers the votes

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

It’s starting to become clear to me that a lot of people who said “I wouldn’t have let the Holocaust happen” would have 100% let the Holocaust happen.

Get ready. Trump is going to fire most of the VA workforce, 70% of which are Veterans, then to "fix" the problems he created, he's going to privatize the VA and send our veterans to expensive, shitty corporate health mills after he slashes health benefits so he and his buddies can get richer.

Remember the end of The Lion King when the hyenas realize Scar lied to them to secure power so they eat him? Thinking about that a lot for no particular reason.

Yesterday, Meta hid search results for words like “Democrat,” “Democracy,” “Kamala Harris,” and “abortion,” while “Republican” showed normally. The U.S. reproductive rights website was also offline. Meta called it a glitch, but it’s not the first time. BlueSky helps avoid algorithmic censorship.

Hold the fuck on — Donald Trump spent 4 years saying “infrastructure week” was coming and it never came, and then Joe Biden actually got it done, and then Trump got back into office and immediately paused spending on… wait for it… INFRASTRUCTURE! Are you fucking kidding me?!

The goal is to overwhelm us so we give up. Don't do that!

Wild. Top is the NBC upload, bottom is the one aired as the live feed

THREAD: (Republishing this thread today apropos of nothing) This is my Glock 23. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It does not define me. I surrendered it to the sheriff after the Pulse shooting, but due to threats from an abusive ex, I re-acquired it for protection. 1/

The rules, if you are keeping track: If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever. If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

Posted without further context.

For all the doubters, how are these not the same?

scrolling through all our clever little jokes as we watch our country die by a thousand paper cuts:

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. It’s you. Get to work.
