Don't forget that people who voted for Trump who are now saying they regret it did in fact knowingly support a multitude of hateful ideas. If they're regretful now, it's likely because they're being impacted somehow. They are NOT your teammates, they're still hateful people.

The amount of classified information in these replies to an unclassified OPM email account will be staggering. People will try to share details they probably shouldn't for fear of losing a job otherwise. Not like OPM wasn't already a target. Absolute hayday for threat actors.

🎈🎉🥳🎉🎈 Well done!

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

He nails it.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

SERIOUS IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL CANADIANS! Do not, do not laugh or joke about Trump's comments of Canada becoming the 51st state. His weapon is NORMALIZATION. Every press release is normalizing Canada as the 51st state. Ignore at your own demise.

A tearful goodbye as K-9 Hurricane, the most decorated dog in U.S. history, has died. Known for his bravery, the U.S. Secret Service dog passed away nine years after retiring. The Belgian Malinois stopped an intruder from entering the White House while the Obamas were inside.

⚠️🚨You can still order COVID tests here ➡️ covidtests.gov that positive-sense single-stranded genomic RNA Spiky assed virus is still here, y'all. Please share!

I’ve been Not A Fan of HP since being annoyed by just how much bloatware their printers install. This article upgrades my attitude to Do Not Buy And Do Not Recommend to F&F

One of my saddest but truest cartoons. Some say I cause more division by pointing out the division. As if burying our heads in the sand makes the problem go away. It doesn't for those suffering! Right? Let's be bold! See the problem, acknowledge it, voice it, then fix it!

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement. Thanks, @rbreich.bsky.social

I love, admire, respect Jasmine Crockett.

My friend from Puerto Rico is worried about her family's citizenship. My husband is worried about the future of the Artemis project. I’m concerned that my special-needs children might lose essential therapies and medications, especially sleep aids and anti-epileptic drugs.

It does.

Donald Trump is a Russian asset; it no longer matters if it’s witting or unwitting. He routinely spreads disinformation that originates in the Kremlin and the FSB, and does it to hurt America and our friends. If you support Trump, you have—morally speaking—betrayed your country.

NEW: The director of data science and engineering for what is now known as the US DOGE Service has resigned. "If DOGE truly was concerned with efficiency, they wouldn’t have fired experts in procurement," she writes, "who prevent waste up front." This is by @makenakelly.bsky.social

Same.

These self-identified Jesus-followers are celebrating the separation of parents from their children and spouses from one another; cheering families torn apart, lives violently uprooted, and human beings being terrorized at school and at work and at church. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-youre-a...

PSA: If you’re going to go around referring to yourself as the “king” of America you sure as fuck don’t get to call a democratically elected foreign leader a “dictator.”

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

An excellent post about when the military can disobey in lawful orders. All currently serving should read this. www.reddit.com/r/Military/s...

Weakening government oversight in federal contracts helps Elon Musk! SpaceX and Tesla face bureaucratic slowdowns, but with fewer approvals, SpaceX can secure NASA and military deals faster. This benefits Musk, not the American people.

So you're telling me an ICE prosecutor is overtly racist? Let me show you my shocked face...

A must read! @marcelias.bsky.social is a real Mench! www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

That's how you do it! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically. We don’t come from the consultant class, we get zero legacy media hype, we don’t get invited on shows & don’t want to be on TV, no big money donors writing checks. It all happened one person at a time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Something to think about.

Former Vice President Mike Pence denounced Donald Trump over his biggest, most flagrant lie of late — the infuriating claim that Ukraine started the war with Russia. Pence reappeared to slam Trump’s Putin-inspired lie. Posting the indisputable truth on X, Pence emphasized his…

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.
