Inordinately proud of myself for figuring out the answer to my 7yo's question, "can girls be drag queens?" is a Chappell Roan video.

The red cards worked! Oh this makes me so happy and grateful for organizers who I know worked so hard for months to create these conditions. I really hope it holds.

one thing Congressional Democrats could be doing is using the franking privilege to send mailers out to every constituent informing them that an unelected organization without Congressional oversight has control of their social security information (which is in fact legal for them to do)

This is some of the most disgusting, craven, selfish behavior I've ever seen from an individual in public life. He is ripping families apart and sending people to die to save his own skin. I cannot conceive of more despicable behavior from someone elected to a role of public responsibility.

These people are all shockingly illiterate - the subject of the piece cites Oppenheimer as your inspiration for understanding the creation of weaponry as divine. JD Vance gets the Parable of the Samaritan backwards and corrected by the Pope. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/b...

At some point someone just doesn't give them the system password, right? Very easy for me with zero risk to say anything but it's a failure of these agencies and/or all of us to create conditions where these individuals can feel financially/psychologically secure enough to just say no.

They didn't shut down USAID They illegally entered a secure facility on a weekend when hardly anyone was there, took sensitive data on US citizens/businesses, destroyed govt property, + unlawfully fired Americans (1/6)https://skywriter.blue/pages/did:plc:lko7zoni57x6grldl77ws5eb/post/3lhc7krunjk2r

It appears Trump is purporting to consolidate power today by making his cabinet secretaries also serve as acting directors of agencies. Thus far, we have reports of Sec of State Rubio as acting head of USAID and Treasury Sec. Bessent as acting head of CFPB.

This is my take too. Not sure if it's the Elon factor (which...did not see coming) but I was psychologically prepared to stand between the state and someone, not watch the state crumble out from under me.

An unelected, erratic, ketamine-addled billionaire with far right/white nationalist views has taken control of the personnel and payment systems of the United States government. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole.

Just a profound sense of vicarious shame that, in the end, it's gonna be the Silicon Valley fuckers and not I-95 corridor FedSoc/Heritage that does this country in. An ironic twist after spending Trump 1.0 securely in the CA bubble. @adriandaub.bsky.social called it.

We're pretty far back in line but it's not lost on me that the elimination of birthright citizenship has not, historically, worked out all that well for Jews.
