The older I get, the more annoyed I get about ”#Watergate does not bother me” being in the song. Haha ha Why in hell would they not care!? That apathy is what got us here. #LynyrdSkynyrd #SweetHomeAlabama

Those who block people cuz you said something respectfully that happens to upset them are bailing on what humans find the hardest: discussing. A block solves nothing. Discussing is always more difficult which is why people bail a lot. Don’t be that person.

musk's private security deputized by u.s. marshals service -- potentially clearing the way for his personal bodyguards to be carrying weapons on federal grounds. um... www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

They keep showing us exactly who they are.

Good job everybody.

Biden 2021: It would violate norms to fire Louis DeJoy. Trump 2025: The United States Postal Service belongs to me now.

@joe-scarborough.bsky.social Is this Joe ”we went to Mar-a-lago” Scarborough from that show I used to listen to every morning? Did you ever publicly apologize for going and admit it was foolish? If so, glad to tune back in again.

Murdoch’s New York Post today. #ukraine🇺🇦

Appearing today in The Week:

The ”hidden” #Nazisalutes we’re seeing being covered for by the right are a test. If and when a sizeable portion of their supporters start copying it, they will stop excusing themselves. They’re just testing the waters. #Musk #Bannon

DOGE is not about waste and fraud. This is about gutting government services without any evaluation of their need. Americans have decided to have and fund an effective National Park Service. Trump and Musk are trampling on democracy to do whatever the hell they want.

americans are begging for leadership

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

I've been seeing lots of super compelling videos of park rangers and federal lawyers and other federal workers telling their stories. Talking about what they did at their job, how it helped the American people, and why they want to keep doing those jobs. This is the way.

Federal career workers: We appreciate you and your work. You don't deserve this mistreatment. Here's a file with lots of resources if you are facing illegal termination. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
