Who wants some good news? The overwintering monarch population, which had plummeted last winter, has doubled this winter! www.worldwildlife.org/stories/east...

The Onion summer writing fellowship is seeking applicants! It's six months, good salary and benefits. This year's applicants do NOT have to complete the Eating Challenge, as it turns out this does not adhere to Illinois labor law. We apologize to those who have died in the past.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

will they appoint a lawyer to represent you? I'm a lawyer, and if I walked in to face those two, I'd not want to be my client.

Chuck Shumer = Chump Shumer. Exactly what is happing, will accelerate regardless of whether the "government" shuts down. it's going to happen. Our next calendar date will feature more "gosh I didn't think they'd do THAT after we helped them extend our execution date...

Dear Chuck Shumer: you know where we will be next? Right where we are now. Why the fuck do you think averting a shutdown will have any effect on Musk/Doge? They'll do what they're doing anyway, and you (frankly) look like an establishment bitch. JFC. Read the room.

Like bitcoin, like those stupid meme coins...things are only valuable if people value them. A constitution is just words on paper. Laws only work if people believe in them, and if those who enforce them do so because THEY believe in them. The enforcement part is the weak link.

That's why they keep trying.

But...does it mean they won't do it?

BE THIS GUY. This is how we should ALL be represented. And this is how we should fight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBW0...

At least Rubio will step up for diplomacy to ensure his status as a "statesman."

Bluesky. Wanna buy a calender? Buy the domain name already.

I keep getting redirected to that fucking calendar company.

You seem surprised about this. We have no independent media. The obvious followup would be "how many times did Putin ignore the cease fire agreement?"

PLEASE buy the calendar domain people already. Who the fuck buys calendars anyway? I'll share a link but you are docked Karma points instantly if you order anything. www.bluesky.com

Zal.

Takes a lot to escort a douchebag.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Take a note please

As a blanket notice, turning off replies when posts escape containment usually happens not because I don't want to encourage discussion, but because I'd rather people look at and think about the words I wrote than go spelunking for arguments.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

put it in the chyron hall of fame

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 31 MILLION!👏 LETS DO THIS!

This is EXACTLY what set him off. As did this: www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

They cannot be ashamed, because they HAVE NO SHAME. Attributing a character trait to a group of loathsome, cruel and destructive people and criticizing them for ignoring that trait, goes nowhere fast. People like to watch stuff blow up and break down but NIMBY.

Capitalism and “free markets” are based on the fiction that the true best idea or message or product will succeed. Neither considers fraud and cheating as a way to bypass virtue as the definitive “winner.”

Why aren’t we looking into corporate welfare? In the United States, it costs taxpayers billions each year, with estimates ranging from $92 billion to $100 billion annually. Meanwhile, USAID costs only $40 billion. Hmmm… doesn’t add up.

That figment of imagination sure seems to be doing a lot of real-life shit. It is REAL only because nobody is making DOGE STOP. The first (and only) guy to protest the takeover of servers, etc., was forced to retire and DOGE rolled right on in.

Kara's all up in here calming the waters and reminding us that everything is just fine...which is why she's one of my favorite follows. Seriously, follow Kara. Read/listen to Burn Book. She is brilliant.

Thanks, Kara. Thank you SO MUCH.

These people are fucking monsters. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Thank you! A U.S. District Judge has approved requests from anonymous federal employees to proceed under pseudonyms in multiple cases against the Trump administration to protect themselves from potential harassment and threats.

Well, when you want the identities leaked to what used to be sworn enemies but now seem to be allies, of COURSE you're going to blow the cover of every operative you want out of the picture.

This !!

The only glitches these days occur when something fucking works.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

Trump abandons "shithole countries" while advocating strongarm takeovers of his idea of valuable real estate. Panama Canal, Greenland...fascist imperialism is our modern day manifest destiny. Here's an article from 1926 for those clamoring for "sources." www.marxists.org/archive/fox/...

I have grave concerns about Susan Collins because she has no concerns about Tulsi Gabbard who had no concerns about Snowden or Assad or Putin.

I did a few months ago. Excellent source.

Our coalition is a peaceful resistance—a group of tree-huggers dedicated to keeping Americans informed.

Marco is an ineffective leader. He’s just there to say “yes.” He’s just a little less smarmy than Lindsey Graham.

Rick: EVERYTHING going on right now is beyond legislative control, or really even beyond judicial control. The FBI purge. Musk's takeover of our financial system. How do you stop that? The fucking US Marshal Service facilitated the DOGE bullshit. How do we stop THAT?

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Have they coopted the US Marshals Service? Apparently, they participated in the takeover. How does that happen? Also, what's the story on @altnps.bsky.social (Alt National Parks Service.) cc: @karaswisher.bsky.social

How does this even happen?? Have they captured the US Marshalls?

Wait until Musk takes that over too.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.
