Here’s the email everyone is getting from OPM. Embarrassing stuff.

Trump has obviously willingly accepted help from Russia-affiliated people and both personally likes Putin and sees him as an aspirational figure but I’m sorry, this “KGB asset” thing is the fakest shit I’ve ever seen and if it’s plausible to you, you could motivated-reason yourself into anything

again: "ICE operates by Vampire Rules" is an objectively true and also funny statement

Every liberal "paper of record": maybe the fascists have a point Eater: Know your rights

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

im edgar allen poe, welcome to jackass

The only data that cannot be compromised or abused is data that does not exist: I absolutely agree Democrats should be running on these ideas.

when you roll over for the fascists in charge to keep your federal funding

Unfortunately I have been fired from my job guarding the orb containing the sum of all human knowledge from the creatures that live at the borders of reality but I know how important it is to pay down our national debt.

The postal service, found in Article 1 of the US Constitution. Also a band.

one thing that gives me solace (but is also kind of terrifying?) is that the highlighted quote is demonstrably untrue (see: JD Vance et al complaining about masculinity at CPAC) and it never will be true

“So Elon Musk killed this program for disabled kids (illegally) because it included the word ‘transition.’ It helps them to transition from high school to work.” H/T @palafo.bsky.social, who posted the above on another platform.

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.

I think Alzheimer’s is bad, and we should work on prevention, treatments and ideally cures. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

Political liberalism has a lot of flaws but one of the cool things about it is how it's constructed around the insight that monarchy is a fundamental affront to human dignity 👍

Calling yourself a king doesn't make you a king. Dying in a hunting accident after being shot with your squire's own arrow does.

i wonder if trump knows what "...long live the king!" means

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

A USAID contracting officer (who for obvious reasons is not disclosing her identity) says a company named after its founder Philip Green almost got its federal contract cancelled because the fools at DOGE thought it had something to do with "green" energy. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I need abled people to understand that breaking someone's wheelchair is like breaking your legs. Both of them. They want to get away with breaking people's legs.

Charli XCX is short for Charles Xavier Charles Xavier

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊
