Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

For any Republicans out there-- don't you see what's happening? Your elected officials, drunk with power, are quietly and quickly getting filthy rich. And in exchange, they're cutting your Medicaid, cutting your education funding, cutting SNAP benefits, cutting medical research.

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more. - US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID - $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes. - Food stranded in Houston - Aid stopped in transit. The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

Show the NFL you’re paying attention. Don’t watch the Super Bowl—make the ratings tank. Instead, listen on the radio. Money talks, and so do numbers. Stand against those who bend the knee to fascism. Tune out, speak up, and hit them where it counts. #BoycottNFL #TurnItOff #ListenDontWatch

One reason Musk might be so driven to shut down USAID? The agency's inspector general opened a probe into Starlink last year. Now the Trump administration says Musk will self-determine his conflicts of interest. Hello?

@jessethorn.bsky.social @hodgman.bsky.social thanks for reminding me that Utah tends to have caffeine free sodas! I'm on a med right now & I'm not supposed to have caffeine. Also, yes, @judgejohnhodgman.bsky.social should definitely come to SLC, UT! I would love it!

1. The President of El Salvador has agreed to receive deportees, regardless of their nationality, in a deal that he and Sec. Rubio announced. He also said that he is willing to take in US citizens convicted of crimes who are imprisoned and detain them in Salvadoran prisons in exchange for a fee.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

It's not too late to order some free Covid tests from USPS. If RFK Jr becomes HHS, there is a good chance this program will be cut. Get your free tests while you can. special.usps.com/testkits

⚠️RFK Jr just told the US Senate that he does not know if COVID vaccines saved millions of lives. 2.4 million lives were saved by the COVID vaccines in the first 8 months alone. COVID vaccines prevented >18.5 million US hospitalizations, 3.2 million deaths and saved $1.15 trillion in the US alone

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.
