Depressing brilliance from my pal Ruben Bolling.

The government cannot stop you from informing others about their legal rights. Know your rights when educating your community.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

The first rule of the Leopards Ate My Face Club is the leopard eats your face.

A Chicago Tribune editorial scolds IL Gov. J.B. Pritzker for his supposedly “premature” comparison of the rise of Trumpism with the rise of Nazism in Germany. Apparently the Trib wants everyone to wait until Trump gets even more authoritarian before speaking out. Which might be too late. 🧵 1/2

We say it, we mean it. Ukraine's security is Europe's security!

It begins... Facebook took down my commentary today for violating community standards which, I guess, now demand kissing Trump's ass. www.everygoddamnday.com/2025/02/they...

Ever since Deadspin, I have kept a folder of all-time-great principled resignation letters. This may be the best one I've ever seen.

So someone asked me to retell the story of the old lady that told me about killing her husband. Are we ready for a trip back in time to 1999? Some of you already know this story, but if you don't it is a wild ride. Apply all appropriate trigger warnings!

Mutherfuckers…🤬🤬🤬 Tim “Apple” has bent the knee to Shitler’s ego. Even more, they disabled the option to Report a Problem, declaring a Name is Wrong. However, you can file it under Something Else. It would be horrible if Apple users were to file issues all day long. 😏

JUST IN: The 1st Circuit Court of appeals has *denied* the Trump administration's emergency motion to block a court order that ordered agencies to lift their spending freeze.

Their real target is Marbury v. Madison (1803).

Representative and Republican Mike McCaul of Texas stood up for PEPFAR and USAid on Sunday’s “Face The Nation”. He is starting to rally the Republican opposition to The purge. Please call (202)225-2401 and tell him you support him and how we can help.

Trump got played again. Canada *already* has 8,500 frontline personnel at the border. www.canada.ca/en/border-se...

Hey everyone. It’s Feb 3rd, and the Democrats have been at home since Jan 24th because the house is out of session. They should have come back, the place is on fire. Get suing, messaging, demonstrating, speaking, everything and ANYTHING

SCHATZ: “.. I will oppose unanimous consent. I will vote no. I will do maximal delays until this is resolved.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

“Elon Musk Has Plunged America Into a Constitutional Crisis. He Must Be Stopped.” Powerful and much-needed appraisal from Will Stancil of the meaning of, and fallout from, this weekend’s takeover of the Treasury and USAID by Musk and his minions.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky

literally papering over history

The attached proclamation to: Celebrate Black History Month is an update since the memo in below post was sent on the 28th: instructing personnel (DIA in this leak) to refrain from celebrating. In the proclamation, he calls on public “officials” Who meets the definition of an official?

Remember how Trump said he "sent the military in and opened up the water flow" in CA? It appears he forced the Army Corps to just drain reservoirs into recently flooded farmland without telling local farmers or leaders. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this.” sjvwater.org/decision-to-...

Trump administration directs 70% cut to internal OPM staffing, programs federalnewsnetwork.com/management/2...

Every single fucking state government run by a Democrat should do this. Fight the fuck back already.

This tweet sent out 14 hours BEFORE the crash needs to be immortalized in stone. Or on a plaque in every ATC tower. Or on a disclaimer before every Mayday: Air Disaster episode. Or on an Amber Alert type system to every American. Or on a stamp. Or maybe currency. Something.

Clean energy businesses shuttering in direct response to Trump’s orders

Fun fact! When the Nazis were looking for templates for their horrible fucking laws, guess where they went looking! Yes! That's right! The US Jim Crow laws! So, yes. Fucking Jim Crow, yes.

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

Note the context - reporting is that MAGA DoD is purging training of historical references to the Tuskegee Airmen. These men fought two wars, one against the fascists and another against bigotry (what MAGA now gaslights as "meritocracy"). They proved their merit and were viewed as heroes by many.

My husband @djheller.bsky.social has been working 18-hour-days on an NIH grant application due Feb. 5 because he’s trying to improve *everyone’s* lives with his research. Who knows what’s actually happening, but we’re all cooked as hell if people like him can no longer get their work funded.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Today I signed an Executive Order affirming that trans people are real. It also recognizes that individuals know best what their gender is or isn't. Furthermore, it recognizes that what is or ain't in someone's pants ain't none of my goddamn business no how. On this date, xoxo, etc. -- JM

Wow! Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington, had an opportunity & she took it. Speaking directly to Trump/Vance, she advocates for the LGBT community & immigrants. “The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They are good neighbours.” The look on JD Vance’s face… (🎥 Reuters)
