The Murder Mittens of Mrs Mustache

Mt. Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawaii spewing lava, Feb. 19, 2025 🔥

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

when someone shows you who they are…..time and time again….believe them….

I hope the hockey fans in Boston sing O Canada good and loud so they annoy the hell out of the Orange Blob who may watch it on TV. Go Team Canada!

Legislation that I passed and was funded by Congress, Solar for All, could reduce electric bills for working class families by 80%. The Trump Admin is refusing to release the money in order to protect the profits of fossil fuel billionaires. Unacceptable. Release the funds NOW.

When a mountain doesn’t listen, say a prayer to the sea. Cy Twombly.

This. Let’s be done with the whole “run government like a business” bs, shall we?

Immigrants in FL make up 47% of workforce in agriculture, forestry, fishing, hunting and mining; 38% in construction; and 25% in service jobs. Going after this workforce means higher prices in supermarkets and disrupted supply chains. That’s the reality.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Late yesterday, Trump issued an executive order that terminates HHS's Long COVID advisory committee. The committee's focus was bringing perspectives from outside government to inform action of the Executive Branch on Long COVID and other infection-associated chronic conditions.

John Wick movie but he goes after all the people who send scam texts and emails

Classic con structure: the big returns are coming!

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.” Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

This...is nonsense. www.politico.com/live-updates...

JFK Library forced to close today when staff are summarily dismissed. A central repository in Boston for historical research and education.

I'd bet cash money that he cut a deal to get a private mail delivery contract, and to hand over his project to electrify the USPS truck fleet to Tesla in exchange for his resignation. Just a hunch.

TOMORROW (WED): Rallies are being held across the country to protest the funding cuts to science and the illegal firing of federal workers. Please join if you can. We need to show that many people oppose these destructive attacks on science and healthcare. Details: labor4highered.org

I'm sorry but Paddington Bear is a better role model than Andrew Tate. Paddington is kind and polite. he spends an entire summer working in the hopes of buying a book for his great-aunt. and he has not been credibly accused of sex trafficking.

NEW: The Trump admin is considering destroying 160 million COVID tests, worth half a billion dollars. This would be a horrible waste. COVID is still around, and causes high levels of illness and deaths throughout the year. Tests are expensive. The government should send them to people for free.

Another day, another attempted mask ban. This time in Maryland. Please, if you stopped masking we really need you to start again. It will reduce the number of Covid and flu cases, but it will also help normalize masks as a health tool. Disabled people need you to help fight these ugly laws:

27 years ago tonight, Feb. 18th 1998, Robert Smith saved South Park from the terror of Mecha-Streisand.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

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.

COVID was an opportunity to adapt & be a more inclusive society. We could have learned about airborne spread & adopted clean air standards. Improved ventilation. Made more outdoor spaces. Normalized masking. Instead we’ve politicized infection control & made society less safe for everyone

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Since Elon’s shitty AI and a handful of teenagers are running things, it seems as though people have been put in the Fork resignation program that didn’t sign up for it. DO NOT VALIDATE RESIGNATION. See below:

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

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.

Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.
