Saving money is only impressive if you can maintain quality at the same time. If I throw you out on the street and say "You're welcome, I just saved you a monthly rent payment" that's not really helpful

NO. I refuse to have Gemini. I already went through each gmail account and specifically turned it off. Today it turned itself back on.

"Move fast and break things" sounds like some bold techbro vision of innovation, but it's also the same motto of thieves who want to do a smash-and-grab and get the fuck out before anybody can catch them.

Los Angeles peeps—spread the word about ICE. We won’t know for sure until it happens, but better safe than sorry. Be prepared.

“Forty-one U.S. senators could use the filibuster to block most legislation that enables the funding of Musk’s companies. With 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and two independents in the Senate, such a push is numerically possible, though politically difficult.“

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Me, in high school, learning about the French Revolution, clutching my pearls: How could anyone DO that?! Me, 2025: Guillotine? That tracks.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Do NOT ever book a flight with Frontier. They advertise cheap non-stops, and then they will change your flight multiple times to one stop or more with long layovers. This third change they've made to my itinerary, they didn't even bother to email me.

I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery

Taken captive after a botched raid, Revni needs to get north before she’s declared dead. Eavus needs to get her south to prove he’s not a deserter.To survive, they’ll have to decide who to trust–because they are both slaves & conquerors in enemy land & everyone else wants them dead. #questpit #F #YA

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

We've got to stop calling him a big orange baby. He is, But that makes him seem like something worthy of mockery, or possibly worthy of dismissal. With the dissolution of USAID, it's very very clear: The man is a monster. Millions of people are going to suffer and die, and he is happy to do it.

My sister-in-law died this evening. I cannot deal with (waves hands) all this. We're supposed to have a representative fucking democracy so that I don't HAVE TO fucking call my senators 6x/day. DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS. I have to go help plan a funeral.

TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.

Today we really need dozens of members of Congress to physically enter buildings that have been commandeered by DOGE interns and refuse to leave until things are fixed, whatever that might mean. I can't think of another option.

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law. 2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc. 3. Be public about how illegal all of this is 4. Lay out a plan

Why the fuck are these departments going along with this when DOGE isn’t a real government department?!?! They have absolutely no power to do any of this.
