Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

I have been dreading the outcome of this bankruptcy and am very sad this is the result 😭

Coming to terms with the possibility I may be allergic to eggs 🥲

I have become obsessed with this show and my partner doesn't understand how something so stressful could be comforting and I said "i like watching competent people problem solve"

linkedin bro discovers...game demos

The public comment period for changing passports to misgender trans people is open. Please take a moment to let them know that you do not support that change.

I wish linkedIn would stop telling me I am a "top applicant" for things I am clearly not 🥲

Immediately regretted wearing pants. Why is it 79 in February 🫠

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness. If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

Please stop with the generative AI. It's garbage, theft, making us less capable. Image by www.nobodyssweetheart.com

Trump just directed the DOJ to stop enforcing an anti-corruption law prohibiting corporations from bribing foreign governments. Tasked with implementing this order is none other than former corporate lobbyist, and current AG, Pam Bondi. It's open season for corruption.

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

A man at this cafe keeps standing up and doing an excellent trump impression saying "under my leadership Taylor Swift will have a ring at half time"

Why does LinkedIn serve you job postings on your feed that are a month old & closed 🥲

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia. Looks like Jeff Bezos's investment in Trump is paying off.

I feel like every year I learn it is time for the superbowl the day before 🪨

I'm a representative for the Democrats. A decade ago a grand piano fell on my head and ever since then, my memory restarts every 45 minutes. I am confident our existing legislative playbook will be able to handle this crisis.

Just a reminder: Seattle has until this Tuesday (Feb 11th) to turn in ballots that can both hit the wealthy where it hurts while also building the long term public-housing-for-all we've been waiting for. Please vote Yes on 1A, please tell your Seattle friends- turnout is only 15% right now.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

“Efforts by Trump officials to control the publication have stalled the release of three studies about bird flu for weeks, as the virus continues spreading through wild birds, poultry farms and cows around the country.” www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-o...

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

I have 15 days to find a job. Please help.

DC peeps, time to show up to protect EPA — Clean Air Act❗️Clean Water Act❗️Superfund Act*❗️Toxic Substances Control Act❗️ If you want these glorious acts of Congress implemented, we must protect EPA. Thank you Senator Markey for leading the charge 💚 www.mobilize.us/climateactio...

So most comics are printed in Canada and a huge chunk of board games are printed and assembled in China. It's going to have an effect.

2 insurrections, same President.
