To put into perspective how maddening these pauses and stops to funding are: these are all funding that have been approved/already at agency financial systems/are programmed & legally notified. It’s equivalent to the banks saying you cannot even withdraw or spend your own $$$ from the bank!

I don’t know why this is hard for folks to understand. The layoffs aren’t just about probationary employees. They are going beyond that. It won’t stop. It’s all about making agencies non-functional.

after hearing from several of you last night, i think i have a general structure for this. it's subject to change based on feedback, but if you're a current, fired, or currently-being-litigated federal worker, i want to hear from you. here are the details.

🎶 I don’t care if Monday's blue. God is dead. Or if Tuesday is utterly desaturated to the point where all choice is arbitrary, Wednesday too. Thursday, I will not make an effort to conjure you in my thoughts. I find you stupid and weak. It’s Friday, I’m in love. 🎶

File under "No Shit". We've known this for decades. He and his dipshit children bragged about how much money the Russians would give them back in the 90's.

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.

Republicans seem surprised that Trump victim-blames Ukraine for the war. Feminists aren't surprised. This is how Trump has always talked about sexual violence. Rape and fascism are related phenomena. Both are how weak, pathetic men feel powerful. www.salon.com/2025/02/21/s...

By age 45 you should have: • A favorite chair • Dangerously high cholesterol • Shirts older than some of your coworkers • Constant but manageable despair • Reported a scrolling “Select Your Birth Year” wheel as a hate crime • Lost the ability to recognize that 1999 wasn’t, like, last year

Poor Francie. I gave her a gabapentin for a vet appointment which was cancelled at the last minute, so now my little bean is just zonked and drooling on me for absolutely no reason.

In the future, all technology will converge as one, as foretold in the singularity. We’re starting to see the beginnings of such convergence now, with Boeing airliners also doubling as suicide booths.

I've been writing a series of essays for PBS on men whose style I admire. The latest is about James Baldwin, a man who knew how to sing through clothes. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

I've said for years that anti-Blackness, racism and white supremacy should be considered as misinformation / disinformation. To study the history of race and journalism is to see that White supremacy was an effective disinformation campaign. And through that, we got Jim Crow, a fascist system.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

This was so incredibly fucked up and made an already difficult time even more stressful than necessary. (We had just lost my grandfather the month prior)

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

It does not matter if your shitty start-up fails. The VC culture expects most of them to do so. It does matter if you mess up the federal government because its a lot harder to repair what has been broken rather than, y'know, not break it in the first place.

Oligarch owned media will downplay any protest or movement it sees as hostile and try to control the narrative or scope of your goals. This is a tired tactic. They claim thousands are hundreds and call you mere “anti-Trump critics”. Don’t let that discourage you, your voices are louder. #3E

Sit down with your family & friends, have a serious conversation about the state of the United States right now; what Trump's actions mean for your future. Let them know this isn't about politics but ultimately the survival of you as a country, nation, and people. This is a war. #3E

I am having more and more conversations that give me hope that folks are starting to wake up. With a nurse who is spending her lunch breaks explaining The Horrors to co-workers. With a stranger in the Costco parking lot who was vocally grateful for my bumper sticker. A shift is happening.
