The trouble is, once I started imagining they were taking selfies I couldn’t unsee it

The wholesomeness of today’s Wikipedia PotD is killing me en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leland_...

Saw a giant rubber duck in Eustis today

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

Posting my embroidery so people can find me... 🐯 #embroidery #handembroidery

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

Update: The White House is already backing down on this. Keep calling your reps. Keep pressuring them. Along with your reps, the white house phone number is (202) 456-1111. Use 5calls.org to get all your reps in one place along with a guide. www.nysun.com/article/whit...

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Here's @bluestein.bsky.social's uncensored thread of the town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA), in which an unhappy audience pushes back against DOGE cuts: threadreaderapp.com/thread/18927...

Happy birthday Nina Simone.

Florida’s new immigration legislation expands DeSantis’ power to remove local officials who don’t comply with ICE. Democratic lawmaker Anna Eskamani sees a broader trend: “This is a governor that looks for any reason to remove people when he can.” boltsmag.org/florida...

The outrageous lies about the stranded astronauts are driving me especially nuts. Our local news has been following the entire saga in great detail for months. I'm just like... COME ON!

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

A moment of levity for your feed from my hometown. "The artist who put them up wishes to remain anonymous and said he put them up to lift people's spirits during tough times." www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/a...

i think we made this deal 2 years ago and it was for a different book, but that’s publishing for ya.

it's absolutely wild to shitpost about yourself being a king of a country whose entire foundational story of itself is centered on overthrowing the last person who deigned to call himself king on these shores

he is sitting and pondering

They screwed this all up.

More than 1 in 3 Americans rely on Medicaid for health coverage – including nearly half of all children. @5calls.org has a script to call your members of Congress opposing Medicaid cuts here: 5calls.org/issue/protec... @familiesusa.bsky.social has a tool to email them here:

the #reylo feed will appreciate this work of art:

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1442

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

the ultimate "let them fight dot gif"

I'm beyond furious at these people but I'm also 100% convinced their support of Trump after all the time is almost entirely due to the fact that the only alternative is to admit they've been duped. We humans will do ANYTHING rather than admit we were fooled. They double down to preserve their pride.

Oh damn Prime actually published their failed chatgpt prompt in the description

these mass firings are going to be a generationally defining event in ways we are not even vaguely prepared to deal with. in addition to the decimation of the infrastructure needed for so many things to function, the personal and familial level impact of these actions is gonna ricochet

📢 People have been asking what they can do to help in our special elections for CD 1 and 6, here is our volunteer hub, join us in this fight! bit.ly/FDPVolunteer...

Dear Do Something Crowd: Here’s something useful you can do. Bonus points if you can actually go to Florida and knock doors. If Dems win these 2 Florida seats plus the #NYCD21 seat, we take back control of the House of Representatives. #FlipTheHouse #TakeBackTheHouse #FLCD1 #CD1 #FLCD6 #CD6 #CD21

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

Big crowd at the SF Tesla dealership protesting our unelected overlord. A tiny sign hangs from an upstairs window

Union Square rally.

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.
