Q8: Tip 5 Who doesn’t love mail? Send a love note of support to any of the more than 400 NPS units around the country. Address it to park HQ. Thank them. Tell them you are with them. If you’ve visited, share something you love about their park. Boost morale for the cost of a stamp. #ParkChat

I cancelled my #WaPo sub when Bezos shut down endorsing Harris. I regret I have but one cancellation to give my country. I highly recommend the non-profit Inquirer.

The Erroneous Musk Band. Can’t carry a one and smashes every instrument in sight.

lol DOGE Quietly Deletes the 5 Biggest Spending Cuts It Celebrated Last Week www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

“The bond market is the most un-spinnable entity there is.” www.bloomberg.com/news/feature... When I call my rep/Senators I'll say you can’t ignore that the economy will be stuck until there is real change, not this bullshit, fascist political theater.

I expect Canada will exceed that. I hope the US does too.

Same would apply in #Montana and other states. Gov Gianforte already proved that with Petra Academy.

Of all the political cartoons, I think this one captures the moment best, because MAGA really is a betrayal of Founding Principles.

This is so out of touch with facts on the ground. The horse left the barn so long ago, the barn has collapsed into the dust. Talk about fighting the wrong, unwinnable battle…and insulting the intelligence of #Dem voters.

If you, like me, are a #Twitter refugee, don’t trust anything to do with #Musk. His AI is rigged, community notes are censored, and his vehicles are garbage.

Part of my “resistance” this time around is planning meals carefully, continually cooking from home & bringing my lunch, and being extraordinarily careful where I spend my money. I have to continue to right my own ship in order to be effective in opposing what is wrong. I think we all do.

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected]. #mtpol #mtleg #resist

I introduced my grandma to my partner on video chat today and she was like… does he have any bad habits and when we said no she offered to teach him some.

Today’s view. Worth it but I can barely move my legs now. #scapes

Gets my stamp of approval.

I’m thinking it would be an excellent application for a scheduled task in ChatGPT. Just give it some basic job description and duties and ask for some plausible variations each week. #FDOGE

This country was made weaker today - militarily and morally - by the unjustifed firing of General CQ Brown, Chair and Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations

If Roberta Kaplan’s on the case, that’s great news. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

One of my best friends and coworkers was told he’s most likely going to be laid off tomorrow because he’s a probationary employee He’s only probationary because he’s a veteran hire and they have a 2 yr rather than 1 yr period He’s the highest performing person here This is so fucking stupid

Over 137,000 first responders and others affected by the 9/11 fallout are getting screwed by #DOGE and King Donald. The Federal workers serving them already had over 1500 clients each.

NPR's analysis found that, of its verifiable work completed so far, DOGE has cut just $2 billion in spending & NOT the $55 billion that Musk reported saving by ending federal contracts. Musk cannot be trusted to tell the truth & therefore cannot be trusted w/ personal info or the programs we need.

I’m really going to enjoy that $11 in #DOGE bucks Skum is never going to send. So worth it to breathe forest fire smoke all summer.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Let’s just say naming the Gulf is oil rigged.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

This is just getting way out of hand. #Democracy in this country is at serious risk.

The way the world economy really works now. No single country could make the iPhone on its own. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/o...

Californians and New Yorkers: PLEASE don’t vacation in red states. It’s the one power we have they can’t take away from us. Spend your holiday dollars in beautiful Oregon, Washington state, Vermont, Hawaii or any of the other lovely blue states! time.com/7222411/blue...

Math is hard

The Privacy Act of 1974 says you have “the right to be protected against unwarranted invasion of their privacy resulting from the collection, maintenance, use, and disclosure of their personal information.” Please quote that when you call your Congressional delegation re #socialsecurity and #doge

"working to swiftly rectify the situation..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

“Sen. Theresa Manzella, R-Hamilton, began distributing slices of pepperoni pizza to surrounding lawmakers after 8 p.m. Kassmier and other Republicans who have often joined Democrats were conspicuously passed over.” 🤣

I think the best issue to contact your Congressional delegation about tomorrow is #DOGE having pending access to all private taxpayer info. That is an incredible violation of civil liberties and personal freedom.

Montanans: Oppose HB 371 which aims to prohibit mRNA vaccines. #MTPol #MTLeg

Can’t trust X or Musk. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

Reviewing business expenses from 2024. There's a dark pattern of companies like Intuit and Adobe raising subscription prices way beyond inflation. No notice ever given. Now that the #CFPB is being gutted #consumers and #smallbiz are just prey.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...
