The comments on this are just lovely 😂

LOCK TF IN TIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i don’t think dems should attend the trump speech on tuesday. skip it! youtube.com/shorts/w2mTb...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

the GOP knows how badly Trump fucked up and so are in ALL HANDS ON DECK mode to quickly spin a different story, reminiscent of Trump's bad loss to Harris in the Presidential debate. You will learn a lot by watching and observing who in the media goes along with this push!

Happy birthday to W. E. B. Du Bois, who when he mused about whether the civilization of the United States was “Christian” had this to say:

1/2 D Trump, P Hegseth, E Musk among them, have: -Around nine marriages (count varies) -Multiple out-of-wedlock children; -Multiple sexual-misconduct accusations, cash settlements, at least one jury verdict; -Zero time in uniform (Trump, Musk). Iraq/Afgh for Hegseth. Yesterday they fired ....

i am 100% of the belief that simply forcing take-writers to answer the question "who specifically said this and why are they significant" would result in substantially fewer bad takes circulating in the world

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

Rules 1. MAGA do not care about contradictions, everything that they do is transactional, they are nihilists and are ONLY concerned with money and power 2. NOTHING that they say is true and they don't care at all, they understand the first-message advantage 1/

Two hours left in the 18th Project for Awesome. We've raised over $3,250,000. Also, my brother is writing on his face right now? projectforawesome.com/live

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

I woke up today and realized why, apart from narcissism, Trump gutted and took over the @kennedycenter.bsky.social board. He’s going to use it as his main stage for jingoistic spectacles of “patriotic history” during the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. Brace yourselves.

Biggest day 1 in the 18-year history of @projectforawesome.bsky.social. We've already raised $1,930,000 and we have 40 hours to go! projectforawesome.com/live

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

The Project for Awesome is a very fun and silly but also important event that raises millions of dollars for global health and other charities voted on by YOU. It has just begun. Please join us at ProjectforAwesome.com/live

The 18th Project for Awesome has already raised over $1,400,000. Join vertical video sensation Hank Green, who is sometimes dressed as a duck and/or goose. projectforawesome.com/live

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

FYI: You might know me as any number of things, but one of the things I am is a YouTuber who has been running a yearly charity event since 2007. That’s going to become apparent on my bsky feed over the next four or five days. You can learn more about it at projectforawesome.com.

Numbers to cite for calling NC representatives about N.I.H. policy changes (on top of everything else)- this is the impact on jobs and funding in North Carolina. I hope every colleague at Duke, UNC, & all NC Higher Ed who can, will get calling. I am beyond furious. @gregpak.net helpful script below

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and- Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

May I suggest something radical? Have mercy on people. Even on here. What’s happening is unprecedented, so politicians, journalists, public servants etc are doing their best to adjust. Not doing exactly what you think they should doesn’t mean they’re giving up or giving in.

Just FYI good.store has some truly remarkable teas and blends and they have plenty of caffeine and loose leaf teas allow you to control the strength of your tea while getting superior flavor with less waste. Also, 100% of profit goes to strengthen healthcare systems in the developing world.

Fuck. This is so fucking stupid.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

No big shock, but it’s fascinating how quickly I’m getting content on my YouTube home page from TikTokers I followed - even though I have never watched their channels. Be real…all the companies have our data.

Everything is dumb and terrible, and it's gonna be dumb and terrible for a while. It’s important to do what you can to make it less dumb and terrible, and it's important to find a way make some contentment for yourself in spite of everything being dumb and terrible.
