You are magic ✨

Absolutely everyone I plan on interacting with tomorrow deserves cookies.

Republicans are voting to gut Medicaid TODAY! Call your House member! These cuts would throw millions of seniors out of nursing homes. These cuts would cut off the healthcare of millions of children

Sitting here at a coffee shop and the date who was supposed to be arriving in 6 minutes just unmatched me. I’m beginning to think I’m about to be stood up…

“No Kings Day” protest in New York City resulting in thousands of anti-Trump & anti-Musk demonstrators — too many for NYPD to corral on the sidewalk or enforce against.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

When leaving Ralph’s an hour ago a lady backed into my car. I started with “Is everyone okay?” And she opened with something accusatory. Ma’am, you hit ME. It’s just a scratch and I don’t care about it, but everyone is dealing with this fucking year so can we not be assholes to each other?

way funnier than the conservatives who hated Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show are the conservatives who thought he was doing the ultimate patriotic ode to America

Updated story: the judge convened a videoconference hearing and granted the order within an hour of the filing - during the Super Bowl. Not sure I have ever heard of a court moving that fast.

No money til I see you take an actual swing at them, is my rule. And not making a little speech and then voting for all of their nominees. We have live television. We see you.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

Insiders report that Trump is planning on taking personal credit if the groundhog doesn’t see its shadow, but if it does, it’s because the groundhog is clearly a diversity hire and possibly even here in defiance of groundhog immigration laws. ICE weasels are standing by.

100% containment on all three fires!!

Here’s a positive thing you can put out into the world today: order Girl Scout cookies from trans Scouts via this list from the wonderful @erininthemorning.com. (US only, but I have friends in the States who could use some cookies!) www.erininthemorning.com/p/2025-trans...

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

You are allowed to feel joy. Yes, even now. Joy is resistance.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

This is so goddamn funny

I just got yelled at that I need to “get out of bed so you can get ready for work.” I swear I can be so rude before I’ve had my breakfast. 😣

It’s raining! 😭♥️

I was given a $100 Walmart gift card. I just tried to use it. Turns out I have a “special” Walmart gift card that is only able to be used on SOME things. Neither of the things I wanted were those things. FUN TIMES. I wanted a mattress topper and a dvd. This is so fucking stupid.

See? This is what you do when you accidentally do something. Elon didn’t do anything by accident, he’s a fucking Nazi.

Democrats: How can we go viral? (a pastor goes mega-viral for calling Trump a bigot to his face) Democrats: What if Tim Kaine made a BLT on Instagram Live

After Auschwitz, my mom was taken to a labor camp and forced to assemble plane parts for the nazis. A partisan secretly showed her how to sabotage the parts so that’s what she did for the rest of the war, knowing if caught it would be instant death. Resist nazis wherever and whenever you can.

SOCRATES: I am wiser than this man; he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing— DARRYL, SOCRATES' FRIEND (Editor's note: There is no historical evidence that Socrates actually had a friend named Darryl. This is likely a character invented to facilitate the joke.): fuck him up socrates

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

To the people who said “my worlds on fire, how bout yours” and then followed it with “that’s the way I like so I’ll never get bored”… we have nothing in common and I now think you’re wildly dangerous. Good song though!

Personally, I don't know any undocumented immigrants and neither do you.

Important, beautiful thread. Thank you, Mishell.

Get in losers, we’re not going gentle into that good night

We can stop reading the NYT and WaPo any time and support independent journalism instead.

You cannot stop the queer community, we contain some of the loudest and most annoying people and we will keep changing our names until you get bored and start blaming your problems on robots

anyway

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

The idea that people without children "have little stake in the future" is so bizarre. Does my dream of one day seeing a re-telling of Irish mythology using only Muppets mean nothing to you

As always.

This guy’s name is Boris

The one thing that Los Angeles is better at than any place in the entire world is believing in the unbelievable. Yes, sometimes that means cults and celery juice. But most of the time it means Fleetwood Mac and the Muppet Movie. When we harness this power, it moves mountains and builds Disneylands.

This won’t mean a lot to most of you, but maybe reading N. K. Jemisin’s The City We Became RIGHT before a huge part of my city went up in flames wasn’t a great idea?

Feeling tremendous guilt that I can’t contribute to every single Go Fund Me myself, as if I alone were meant to be the public safety net.

LA people, if you’re masking outside for the air, please keep them on when you enter indoor public places. Covid is still circulating and hospitals are overwhelmed and we need to protect ourselves as much as possible right now. It’s all connected. Stay safe. I love you all.
