CDC Shutters PRAMS Program on Maternal and Infant Health talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/cdc-s...

This is 100%. Almost everything in the constitution is general or implied. The document literally says there's going to be a post office and congress is in charge of setting it up, deciding what it's rules are.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Breaking what’s needed. Not addressing real problems. Not civilized yet. #zentao

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

True that the silence of establishment (much less progressive) opposition leaders in a moment like this is truly exceptional in comparative context. Perhaps a function of the still-powerful yet misplaced sense of American exceptionalism that still dominates elite circles.

The vampire can't get into your house unless you invite him. His offer to debate you about this situation is his first step across the threshold. We should probably keep this in mind.

Reading David Graeber is very useful in these chaotic times. This week's post at the Treehouse Writers blog starts with ideas from Graeber and also incorporates some thoughts from experts on civil resistance. treehousewriters.com/wp53/2025/02...

In your own true way, listen to the universe. There is no wrong way. #zentao

One more time, because I’m not afraid of being fired from the VA - and I will NOT let this go quietly.

You know, last year when I wrote a book about the moon turning into cheese, I didn't know that when it came out the most fantastical thing about it would be a functional US government

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Our bodies take in what’s going on, good and bad, and integrate it. #zentao

Early morning thoughts: executive orders are not "signed into law." "DOGE" is not a cabinet-level department. The Trump "budget cuts" are illegal impoundment. These aren't "layoffs" they are illegal firings. This is gaslighting disguised as journalistic word choices.

There were a lot of hilarious signs at today's Philly protest (because Philly has A+ protest sign game), but this was my favorite from an "I want that as a tattoo" perspective.

This should be wonderful

The one topic I didn’t have on the Headdesk Project topic list was “No kings” bc I didn’t think we needed it but apparently we fucking do?

Pay close attention. What’s there now won’t stay the same. See it while you can. #zentao

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

i will become a total shill for whichever politician decides to become the joe mccarthy of rooting out silicon valley ideology and influence

Be sure to write to your Senator to oppose the SAVE Act: nolongerslowblog.blogspot.com/2025/02/be-s...

That so many left intellectuals are not morally offended by racism or sexism is a problem.

I don't get personal on main very often, but I spent a few hours writing this, and I want you to read it. It's about my dad and my stepmom, and me, and Stranger Things, and what's happening to the VA right now. www.cheriepriest.com/blog/the-dep...

Showing up to march: A start to stopping this coup. Find more ways to act. #zentao

Worried that Elon is ushering a new era of serfdom? This one pot whitedish will make you feel like you're in Medieval England.

Even if your strategy is "let's win the midterms" (living in delusion there will be legit elections), we do that by making Trump and MAGA unpopular. That means denying them any and every "win," from nominees to any legislation. Anything that affirms their actions, affirms them.

BuT wHAt CoUld DemOCRats do???

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

So it turns out "red tape" is what keeps planes in the air, medicines in pharmacies and food inspectors in processing plants. Who knew?

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

NY City Council speaker Adrienne Adams: "With the resignation of deputy mayors, it has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers. He now must prioritize New York City and New Yorkers, step aside and resign."

Wisconsin peeps: now they want your court.

Didn't take pictures, but we had about 1,500 people in Oakland out near Lake Merritt. And the people driving were honking their support.
