@automodlists.bsky.social what the hell, is this malicious?

Read, copied, pasted and credited. I don’t know how many people I will send this to. More than a few I’m sure. Thanks John. 👇

I hope one went to the judge in the case where he’s pretending he has no actual power

🎉 Great being with @indivisiblelab.bsky.social @maindivisible.bsky.social at the @warren.senate.gov town hall. 📣 We are the calvary @indivisible.org

Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

At the Long Beach Tesla Takedown, lots of folks out here (I’d estimate probably 40-50 so far) and lots of support from cars driving by. Come out and join!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Thought I'd participate and sent to [email protected]: 5 things I did last week • Worked tho I'm exhausted • Brought my cat to the vet following chemotherapy • Went grocery shopping tho my ADD makes it unbearable • Wrapped gift for my mother who lives in a nursing home • Paid bills until no money left

Elon’s evil munchkins sent this ridiculous email out to all 2 million or so Federal employees demanding they reply by midnight Monday. If you want to let them know what you did last week I’m bet they’d love to hear from you at [email protected]! I can’t wait to tell them about my norovirus symptoms!

This is not normal! As if federal employees didn’t already feel threatened enough—sure, let the brown shirts have guns; that’ll certainly boost compliance.

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Reply: You first.

This is horrible for the future of American science and innovation and economic wellbeing and all the things Pitt is not a small institution It has nearly 10K grad students It is where Salk discovered the polio vaccine

A pretty serious fuckup here either in the tweet or in the email composition that is going to lead to chaos on a grand scale

Gonna be the asshole to point out the most intense resistance outside of the Beltway is coming from our most offline Americans - old people who go to town halls.

I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

Today (Feb 22) in 1943, three courageous young people in the group White Rose were executed for distributing anti-Nazi leaflets in Germany. Sophie Scholl: "The greatest damage is caused by the silent majority that just wants to survive, submit and go along with everything."

Thank you, we will always remember you.

Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays. That's better than any private insurance company. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

"The vocal crowd rose to its feet repeatedly during a one-hour town hall ... [Warren] said, her voice growing hoarse. “We do not want an America that says a handful of rich folks are better than everyone else. We want an America that works for all of us, and we are willing to fight for it.”

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

This is why the military's Chief of Staff was fired this weekend. (Fired by a guy whose relevant work experience was weekend anchor on Fox News). Listen to it, and then help rise to defend the America that produced this noble man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=brQL...

“I’m a political refugee from Russia. This is all too familiar. Fight now.” #TeslaTakedown

anotha one

Over 1,000 people showed up in Framingham to make clear that we’re fired up and ready to fight back against every terrible policy Donald Trump and Elon Musk throw at us. 📸 John Walker

more Janet Mills less Susan Collins

“Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go… What does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?” —Words attributed to Sophie Scholl of the White Rose Society, at her execution by the Nazis on this day in 1943.

Employees throughout the federal government have until 11:59pm ET Monday to detail five things they accomplished in the last week.

This is your regular reminder that if unions didn't work, giant corporations wouldn’t spend millions and millions of dollars trying to stop workers from making them. Unions give workers power, and billionaire CEOs don't like that.

www.npr.org/2025/02/22/g... It's 1130pm in GERMANY Tomorrow, they vote .... The AFD (Musk Backed) Far right extreme This election so critical for it will affect not only GERMANY but Europe and even Ukraine The AFD must be defeated

Remember that Donald Trump's playbook is to float an idea repeatedly to normalize it before pursuing it seriously. Republicans in the House and Senate are beyond pathetic for throwing democracy, the Constitution, liberty, justice, and this country under the bus for a wannabe dictator.

DOGE claims it "saved US $50B" Not sure if that's a one time or annual savings It's roughly $2.75 a week per American Not even enough for a small Starbucks latte 🤦🏻‍♂️ In the meantime, National Parks & museums have closed; VA & FAA employees have been fired; and people are dying overseas

Mocha, still alive, looking adorable sleeping on her bed. Cherishing the moments.

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

A former colleague wrote this to me and it was a really meaningful reminder that if your gut instinct says something is wrong, something is wrong. And you should continue to identify it and try to fight it and fix it, even if the rest of the world is gaslighting you and telling you to stop.
