They’re doing it on purpose

Interesting and concerning. If you’re in one of the really red states on the graph, get a generator if you can, otherwise get coolers if you don’t have a chest freezer. Get or make candles

Good goddess, the mad king has lost his fucking mind

if you know you know

@keithedwards.bsky.social discusses voters in DEEP red states booing TF out of #DOGE, #ElonMusk and Trump in townhall's. And wish Keith a #Happy40thBirthday today! His hard work these days has been invaluable youtu.be/nqAhmxdFD-s?...

Pulling out the same type of device on a traffic stop that was used to beat police officers on Jan 6 is probably not the best plan.

Trump vowed to champion US workers - the reality has been a relentless assault #TheGuardian #NoFakeNews www.theguardian.com/...

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

We are facing a war against an establishment driven by greed—one that seeks to strip away what belongs to the United States and its people, reducing us to modern-day slaves. We have the power, and together—united as a grassroots movement, with one voice—we can demand what is rightfully ours.

This is who Republicans just made FBI Director. Kash Patel calls for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1

Love this guy. He appeared on the Mueller, She Wrote podcast in 2018. Hell of an activist.

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

— 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 hope the hockey fans in Boston sing O Canada good and loud so they annoy the hell out of the Orange Blob who may watch it on TV. Go Team Canada!

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

This is not how federal criminal investigations work. —me (former federal criminal investigator)

You have the power to stop the mad king

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

lol find the racist misogynist

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

Wow. Really interesting

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

Thanks to GOP for destroying our country 👹

All this and a bucket of chicken

If South Africa doesn’t want them, why would we

Wanna know why your energy prices are so high? We export most of it thanks to incentives

Woah

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.
