Clubs and bars are out. Let's open a late night Bookstore where you can silently mingle, drink tea, and read into all hours of the night.

Love to see it!

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Before you put up some cool AI image, ask yourself--would you go a day without electricity in your home to get that image? Would you dump a bucket of toxic sludge in a nearby waterway to get that image? Because it may seem quick, simple and easy, but somewhere, a price is being paid.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

WSJ: “Trump has taken the highly unusual step of revoking an extension of temporary protected status from roughly 520,000 Haitians — will effectively flip more than half a million immigrants from legal to illegal in August.” www.rawstory.com/haitian-tps/

Dark skies reflect my sadness at the firings of all the humans that help keep the #GreatLakes as healthy as possible. Tonight I mourn the loss of the 14 @usfws.bsky.social employees that kept the invasive sea lamprey at bay. My fishery will be hurt. 😢😢🌊🌊

Senator Roger Wicker (R-MA) on the question if Putin can be trusted, and if he should get a state visit to the US: "No. He broke every law on an international level. He is a war criminal. He should be arrested, trialed and possibly even executed". A Republican said that. It matters that he does.

Without friends

We had a department meeting today, in the heart of winter. We discussed tech tools, scheduling, & resources, but we finished a bit early to honor some time. AND so many have February birthdays, we celebrated everyone today w/cake (including gluten-free) & $100 of books per teacher from our budget!

Trump is blacklisting a news outlet for using a name he doesn't like. It's that simple. So why aren't more reporters and media outlets speaking out more vehemently to help The AP? In part, I'm told, it's because the WH Correspondents' Association is trying to work out a solution behind the scenes.

Hey Republicans who “love” fake agency DOGE:

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

An important point to keep in mind.

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

Eagles star Saquon Barkley shows support for Taylor Swift in his latest interview: “I remember that they showed her on the Jumbotron and she got booed. I don't get why she was getting hate there, she is there supporting her significant other and made the game bigger.”

"Karina's Law" was signed into law on yesterday by Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. The bill requires guns to be removed from an accused abuser's home after the victim in a domestic violence case is granted an order of protection. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

“Why don’t they play popular music at the Super Bowl anymore.” — Man who thinks 1996 was 10 years ago.

Armed Nazis thought they could waltz into Cincinnati, brandish their hate symbols, and scare a community into silence. They thought wrong.

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

Ideally, both the Chiefs and Eagles would lose and America could heal. But, Harrison Butker, the Chiefs kicker, is a nasty Christian nationalist who pals around with Josh Hawley, so...yeah...Chiefs can kick rocks. Hope Eagles win.

'He Gets Us' commercials are mostly paid for by Hobby Lobby - known for antisemitism, homophobia, and LGBTQ discrimination. They deny employees access to birth control, and have tried to evangelize public schools. They sold smuggled artifacts & endangered employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. 🃏
