This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

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.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Spot on.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

If I am doing stuff and I low-key just say “ow,” I either bumped into something but didn’t hurt myself at all, or I did something very painful and I’m really understating it. 🤷‍♀️

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

So you can just say you work at DOGE and pillage anything from our documents you want. The law truly doesn't exist anymore! Cool!

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The Usher halftime show came and went... Rih announced a pregnancy during hers and it lasted one business day... We on Day 5 of heated discussion abt Kendrick's halftime show. 5. Whole. Days. And. Counting. ...but I'm supposed to believe it was trash.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Great point.

Another reason to ❤️ Costco. While Target and others cancel diversity to appease Trump, Costco’s investing in the community—building apartments above its stores, starting in LA. This $425M project includes 184 low-income units, with key services, plus a rooftop pool and fitness center.

I *implore* you all to listen to @mollyjongfast.bsky.social's conversation with @preetbharara.bsky.social I *promise* it will make you feel better. Bharara makes many of the arguments I've been trying to make but unlike me he comes with the credentials. (ie, we're not going to become Russia)

Btw; just to break toxic fanboys brains: here is Gene Roddenberry literally saying he wished he had gay sex and wishing that he was nonbinary.

Very interesting. I was only talking the other day about how I don't like the high and low-functioning labels because they put autism into two categories rather than acknowledge the spectrum. High and low functioning also suggest one is less than the other.

Do what makes you happy and find joy where you can. I’m gonna sip some good bourbon 🥃 and nibble some dark chocolate 🍫 while watching The Expanse 🚀 for a while.

. A Black spy saved George Washington’s life, helped win the Revolutionary War, and still had to buy his freedom. If America really loved Black history, James Armistead Lafayette would have his own blockbuster spy movie by now. Instead, we get another reboot of Batman. #BlackHISTORY

Citilink kicked for Transit Equity Day with a call for action.

If you haven’t (playfully) threatened to stab someone (through the phone), what are you even doing with your life?

Marketing done right, haha: the first ever typeface fully designed with the other hand — because our designer's dominant hand was covered in Cheetos. The YouTube video is a masterpiece of parody: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6olc...

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Humane Fort Wayne leaders say decals were recently stolen from one of their Pet Food Pantry vans, urging community members to use extra caution when using its Pet Food Pantry services.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵
