This is an excellent, fact-filled article with video segments to answer questions about Trump & Putin’s “illegitimate president” propaganda war against Zelensky.

A note to my reps, with a clear, short, list of things you could be doing. (Don't worry, I'll call and convey this also!) @whipkclark.bsky.social (especially you!!!) @warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov theconnector.substack.com/p/3-things-d...

Lia would like everyone to know that she is Very Helpful and also has Nice Mittens.

“put it on his fucking gravestone”

This is just to say I have fired the bureaucrats throughout your government Even the ones that were probably keeping planes in the air Forgive me I am not very smart So efficiency Much savings

There are so many things wrong. Among them is that there are thousands and thousands of people like this person who are just trying to do a good job that they care about, and are being just shafted by a signaling purge. www.muellershewrote.com/p/letter-fro...

Same, kid.

Gorgeous.

"Why are there so few student protests against the current government? Why are they so quiet? They used to be so voluble!" Gee, Bob*, I don't know. *Chronicle of Higher Ed

Oh shit. Be careful out there.

I am on the couch being nauseous and intermittently feverish and also profoundly grateful for everyone who is protesting today. My heart and rage are with you.

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.

@whipkclark.bsky.social like this! Don’t make @warren.senate.gov carry it all on her shoulders in direct social media!

Things I have been privileged to never have to think about. Any of my public science folks want to weigh in on this plan? @thewhaleshark.bsky.social ?

Sweet mother of horrors.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

I uncomplicatedly love the neologism “cis+” and will be adopting it.

I'm sure Vance has some reasons why he shouldn't bother to listen to the Holy See. Cafeteria Catholicism indeed.

This is a great read. Kids do, in fact, pay a hell of a lot of attention.

This was good to read. "People are doing things. You will meet those people when you start doing things." sherrilyn.substack.com/p/democracy-...

This is excellent. Anyone got leads on Monday?

The Times, trying to pass off “showing your whole damned ass” as thoughtful journalism.

Hey @lbuyrice.bsky.social and @rickthefightguy.bsky.social ! Local news!

Oh fuck.

They do, in fact, know better and are old enough to know better. No excuses.

I have started to add “sending you bail money is a fundraising opportunity. I could get behind” when I call my representatives’ offices. Go ahead and arrest that nice old lady. Arrest that nice old man. Get that on TV - I’d send bail money for that. @warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov

Fucking ghouls.

The moment we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down one agency – we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down anything.
