This is the energy we need.

My president

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Yes! This! This is the rhetoric we need.

This is what “do something” looks like

A message of encouragement from @aoc.bsky.social from those feeling despair (as Musk tramples the 🇺🇸 government): “We outnumber them — authoritarians are like the Wizard of Oz, they rely on their PERCEIVED power, not their actual power. You can resist. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DFqgcQb...

The Democrats have finally arrived at the performative bullshit party the Republicans have been raging at for years. There's no reason to pass a cheeky-trolling law (which won't pass) to outlaw something already illegal. This party has no idea how to oppose the authoritarian power grab in progress.

This has been on Elon's radar forever. The train will reduce the need for a good number of cars on the road. That's bad for his bottom line.

i love that in addition to everything else, elon musk is the dumbest asshole on the planet

Someone tell Schumer that the OPM is being taken over by college students protesting a genocide so we can actually see some urgency from the opposition party

everybody clap for elon and his fluff monkey. they "deleted" the office that now allows you to file your taxes for free as opposed to paying Turbotax

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

What if… and hear me out… we focused instead on free school lunches for hungry children.

this is theft on an unimaginable scale

I know the “imagine if a Democrat did this” is overplayed, but if a Democratic president had given George Soros access to government personnel details and Treasury payments I’m pretty sure we’d have a literal civil war.

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

I respectfully disagree with my esteemed colleagues in the Nazi community, but I do think that they are arguing in good faith.

Four examples of Democratic messaging since yesterday. I know which one I'm supporting. And voting for.

Opinion | Dear Donald, don’t deport my nanny. Yes many immigrants are dirty and lazy, but this one is clean, hard-working, and reliable. by Bret Stephens

Petro, in 2021: “At NASA and Kennedy Space Center, our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility has been paramount to mission success.”

madam president

If you want to see the opposite of “obeying in advance,” here it is. Remarkable bravery by Reverend Budde.

Whole lotta people are going to disappoint us as they let their fear get the best of them and submit to Trump and the mob. So it's good that people such as Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, who had the courage to call the monsters out to their faces, exist. May we all find her courage when called upon.

It really is such masculine energy to blame things on a woman who no longer works at the company www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/u...

marc ignores the fact that we aren't generally angry at Craigslist Craig, even though he helped kill newspapers, because he doesn't seem to have meant it and basically bounced after getting rich. No one hates Wozniak really. We hate you guys because you won't leave us alone.

All of these nomination hearings in a nutshell: Congress: “Will you break the law if the President tells you to?” Nominee: “That’s for me to know and you to find out.”

I can’t actually says the words I think about this, suffice to call it despicable poison.

Andreessen has been the most transparent about why he's moved right and is now supporting Trump. They don't like that everyone doesn't worship them anymore

There are no principled senators left on the GOP side. The MAGA takeover is complete.

This was a year ago. Ordered and drank 3 gin and tonics for breakfast on a workday. Sexual assault, ran two nonprofits into the ground, racist. Republican Senators are actually prepared to turn over the most lethal army in the world to this man. Because they’re afraid they’ll be….”primaried”??

Dear friends in tech: If your CEO is desperately seeking the approval of an octogenarian who assesses technologies based on the advanced criteria of "which desperate supplicant has written me the biggest check?" your pathetic employer is well past its days of producing any innovations. Just leave.

Meta is a parasite

Traitors to our country support honoring traitors to our country

So basically we are no longer a country. I wish there was some way NYS, IL, and CA could just refuse to send tax dollars to DC in exchange. The Fed govt stops functioning without us. Yet here we are, repeatedly informed that we are second-tier citizens.

Bravo @keithedwards.bsky.social

This is objectively false.

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

While Donald Trump trolls Canadians about annexing Canada, Canadians are in California dropping water on the Los Angeles fires Trump is a disgrace Thank you Canada 🇨🇦

i don’t understand how, psychologically, a person gets to a place where they interpret sign language as some kind of attack or imposition on their life. like, what the fuck is wrong with you?

In the reactionary mind, everything used to be peaceful and harmonious until “they” (women, Black people, the gays, Jews, etc) politicized things and divided the nation.

The mask is off. It’s clear the hat he and many other CEOs never cared about it from the beginning. It’s almost as if he was merely virtue signaling.

in retrospect, one of the funniest headlines of all time

My own opinion is that it's good to signal (through words and/or actions) the virtues that you value; that's one of the most important parts of maintaining a healthy community.

i’m kind of amazed at how this is just the crudest, most obvious n****rbaiting you can imagine. “the people you don’t like, yeah, they are responsible for everything bad.” and it works!

You're in the back seat of a car driving directly at a brick wall that's 500 miles away. You warn the driver over & over again about the brick wall, and say we need to change course or we'll hit the brick wall. 500 miles later, you slam directly into the brick wall.
