Allow me to introduce us

I heart Tina Smith.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has terminated over 1,400 employees.

BREAKING: Germany’s Chancellor slams Trump in first remarks following the election, more federal agencies rebuke Musk, and the Trump Administration conducted mass layoffs at USAID. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

USAID informed employees via email that it is terminating 2,000 workers and placing thousands of foreign service officers and other direct hires worldwide on paid leave, effective tonight.

BREAKING: Despite Elon Musk's support, far right AFD party set to come in second place in German elections and will likely be shut out of government in a major loss for the far-right. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Temporary Residents - opening in protest this fall #art #artist #gallery #democracy

Join 50501 in a National Day of Action on Monday, February 17th. We are reclaiming President's Day - a day that is supposed to be celebrating the Presidency. Unite to limit executive overreach. Find your protest at https://buff.ly/417VjtT, or create one.

Hey. I'm a journalist in Atlanta. I write for The Guardian and Rolling Stone. If you work for the federal government, and want to connect in person to discuss the illegal and unconstitutional activities you are seeing inside your agency, send me a note via Signal. They can't kill us all.

It’s a very difficult world we are living in…. We are fighting so many injustices and a very corrupt government…. But I can’t stop supporting artists….. It’s who I am and why I opened my little gallery…. I can’t see it go away without a fight.

JD Vance Begins To Suspect There Another Group Chat theonion.com/jd-vanc...

Without public knowledge, Elon Musk is serving as a “special government employee” under President Donald Trump, with access to sensitive information (including your SSN) and broad authority granted by Trump.

Scenes from a protest outside of USAID today.

Last week @allinwithchris.bsky.social cited @propublica.org and @documented.net's reporting that revealed Russ Vought promised donors in a private speech to put civil servants "in trauma," a plan that's clearly already underway.

The Trump Administration’s obsession with this issue is disproportionate to the number of Americans and children who identify as non-binary or seek gender-affirming healthcare. Fewer than 2 percent of adults in the US say their gender is different from their assigned sex at birth, according to Pew.

#art #democracy Everyday people taking on the oligarchs

We have a new show opening March 8th…. Pop XL featuring Lynzi Scholz I believe art is important right now in these trying times…. It’s what keeps me going!

This whole thing speaks for itself. This guy is unprepared and untrustworthy. I'm voting no.

Oh so now Trump's just deporting Americans

New to this platform, trying to navigate my way around and find my footing. While I do that, please enjoy this beautiful piece by one of my favorite artists, Robin Power. If you like art, give me a follow. I will bring you on an amazing art journey and a front row seat to my little amazing gallery

Rumor is that the greatest art gallery in Illinois has joined #bluesky & everyone should follow them. I heard that it is this profile: @sassyartgirl.bsky.social @sassyartgirl.bsky.social have you heard this rumor? Can you confirm/deny that YOU are the Strange & Unusual Gallery in Joliet, IL??

You guys need to see this and take it in… Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

I have a suggestion for you. In times of trouble and strife, there is therapeutic benefit in being among trees and in physical contact with them. So if you can, go hug a tree today, the bigger the better. This huge old chinkapin oak is known as The Great God Tree.

NEW: The Department of Labor report found widespread noncompliance and violations of federal law in how health plans and insurers cover mental health care, echoing the findings of a recent ProPublica investigation. propub.li/4aue7qi

If Elon Musk wasn't doing what we all saw him doing, he would come out and clarify. Instead, he's doubled down.

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."
