“she had asked a boss if he would let his children fly on a plane with the litany of flaws and non-conformances he was urging her to “pencil-whip”: “Cindy, none of these planes are staying in America, they’re all going overseas,” he retorted, much to her horror”

Trump is saving Los Angeles from big scary **checks notes** dancing flash mobs

🧵 Masha Gessen, who lived under Russia’s secret police, is sounding the alarm: the U.S. is now echoing those same authoritarian patterns. Raids, surveillance, fear tactics—it’s not theoretical anymore. We are watching a police state take root in real time. #OnYourSide @mashagessen.bsky.social

I can guarantee that sketch published on Substack about Trump and the Kennedy Center would not have been published by the Post.

This is horrifying. Trump is testing his ability to impose totalitarian rule on the United States. He & his Republican henchmen are traitors. IF WE TOLERATE THIS, WE LOSE EVERYTHING. Get in the streets. Rise up. Fight this tyranny, or live in fear. If he can arrest a governor, he can arrest you.

And that's the truth

CNBC tries to gotcha Liz Warren. It doesn't go well.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Today I'm filled with admiration for my university's president, Chris Eisgruber. He's standing up for Columbia and for universities as a home for freedom of ideas, debate, and thought - free of government attack. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Two headlines, both from today

Everyone should take a couple minutes to listen to this.👇

Trump’s EPA Moves to Block State Pesticide Labels That Warn of Cancer Risks

Is there a single fucking Republican in America with any morals left willing to stiffen their spine and speak out against what happened today?

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

@newsjennifer.bsky.social on the gripping and impactful DOGE reporting by local news outlets: "It would be both ironic and so very American if the rich and powerful oligarchs were finally stopped by the underfunded newsrooms and working-class reporters." jenniferschulze.substack.com/p/local-news...

Oh. Would be a shame if everyone shared this everywhere while trump and Eric Adams try to work out a deal.

Spot on from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy dancing naked in front of a window and getting his hairy nipple licked on reality TV. This is who Trump put in charge of the country’s flight safety.

WHO DID THIS!

Instagram and Facebook have recently blurred, blocked or removed posts from two abortion pill providers. Instagram also suspended the accounts of several abortion pill providers and hid the providers from appearing in search and recommendations. nyti.ms/4h3PF1x

I'm going to post this video every day — especially #MLKDay — so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

i’m gonna just watch this at least once a day and i recommend everyone do the same
