Half the country be lile

2%! Maybe in a few more months when more people feel the effects more, we can reach the 3.5 that we need! #handsoff

The hypocrisy of it is enough to choke a horse.

The road to fascism is paved with bitches telling you “it’s not that serious”

Every day I wake up to the news

As a negotiator, I disagree that "...the best strategy in a negotiation is to convince the other side that you are crazy." It's a great way, in fact, to get the other party to get up and walk away from the table. I'm guessing we'll be seeing many of our historical global partners do just that.

*snort*

Wow. Rep. Jake Auchincloss minces no words about Signalgate on Piers Morgan: “Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people, lying to Congress, lying to the military.” “It’s incompetence incarnate…It’s embarrassing & it’s dangerous.” This is how it’s done.

Dear all foreign friends outside the United States, Our country is big. Like really big. Like so much bigger than you ken. Our states are bigger than many countries, and there's 50 of them. So when you wonder why we are not all marching on DC I live 2,500 miles (4000 km) from the White House

The officials who shared classified information in a group chat broke protocol and put our servicemembers' lives in danger. Hegseth and Waltz should RESIGN—and EVERYONE involved must be held accountable. I'm demanding a thorough investigation from the Inspectors General.

It's disgusting.

Let’s be real: everyone in this administration already lied under oath during their confirmation hearings.

Be safe out there, kids.

The White House is saying the information shared in the Signal group chat was “not classified.” They’re lying. Those who’ve served in uniform know it would’ve been classified. We’re calling for an investigation and accountability.

me waiting for the “but her emails” crowd to find their tongues

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Between the unsecured bombing chats and eliminating FEMA and trafficking legal residents to foreign labor prisons and supermaxxing measles and halting cancer research, it’s so hard these days to guess how you’re gonna die

15 years ago, Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act to expand health care for millions. And we keep working to make health care affordable & expand access. The Republican health care plan has been—and continues to be—tax cuts for billionaires and good luck to everyone else.

We need a new state tax code. The wealthy must pay their fair share so our kids have good schools, our roads and bridges are solid, and our low income neighbors have the social safety net to live with security and dignity. No such thing as a moral billionaire. I'd pay more so others can live well.

Jarrett is the stable voice of calm, systematic evaluation in most rooms. This is an extraordinary statement from ANY consultant, much less him. The profession breathes through international collaboration and knowledge sharing. I don’t think it’s an overreaction. Things are really just that bad.

Carolyn Cox has done incredible work for the City of Lacey these last 4 years, leading our region into collaborative partnerships on tough policy issues like housing, transportation and climate change. She has all my support for another 4 years - I hope she has yours too! www.choosecarolyncox.com

Racism in medicine and widespread distrust of midwifery go hand in hand. They are no accident. White doctors dispossessed and disenfranchised women and Black folk and abandoned the wisdom and knowledge of safe, healthy birthing - and women and babies die as a result. www.aclu.org/news/racial-...

I don’t have to agree with the Gaza protestors to defend their right to protest. And I don’t have to want Venezuelan gang members to be here on our soil, to defend their right to due process. Either we are a nation of laws or we are not. And if we are not, then all is lost.

So ... where are we protesting this weekend?

My controversial opinion on young men’s right wing radicalization is that we should not undo the second wave and sacrifice women’s rights, dignity, freedom, and access to the public sphere for the sake of men’s feelings.

I don't understand the point of this, if it isn't just sadism.

Womp womp

This is terrifying.

Trump signed an executive order that rails against the specific law firm Perkins Coie, which likely violates the Constitutional prohibition against "bills of attainder." He's just in there ... playin' with his hands.

My derby team, South Sound Roller Derby, is celebrating our TENTH league birthday. Wanna come watch our home game in Centralia? www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticket...

The state of the union is that Trump fired cancer researchers and forest service rangers. He's letting Elon Musk smash the Social Security Administration into pieces. And he is pushing Congress to pass more tax giveaways for billionaires while destroying Medicaid.

This is true, but with the serious need for affordable housing in our community we still *also* need policies and funding tools put to use by cities and counties to incentivize the development of housing that is accessible for folks with lower incomes. It's a yes-and. @emmettoconnell.bsky.social

Facebook account is mysteriously suspended. The last thing I posted had to do with standing up for trans kids in the Tumwater School District. Hard not to wonder about the timing. But this may be the nudge I need to divest from Meta. Filing an "appeal" sounds like a while bunch of work.

NEW: Nick Enrich, acting asst admin for USAID Global Health, was just placed on administrative admin leave by Trump admin. It comes after he shared a memo with USAID staff, including those on leave/fired saying it’s been impossible to implement Rubio’s waivers for lifesaving aid

Vaccinations have made us so safe we have forgotten the scourge of measles and other preventable illness. People have started wrongly thinking the vaccine is a bigger problem than the disease. Now CDC meetings to prepare for next year's flu season are getting canceled. People are going to die.

99% of House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid so they can lower taxes for the richest 1%. They’re showing you exactly who they’re working for.

Look at this leader. Lift her up.

RE Trump and Musk, "They do not give a shit about the American people." - MY Congresswoman, on MSNBC.

Tonight I sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Lutnick, urging him to exempt NWS from the federal hiring freeze due to the critical role the agency plays in public safety and supporting the economy, (1/2)

These people shame our country.

What. Crazy. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

This is just to say I have fired the bureaucrats throughout your government Even the ones that were probably keeping planes in the air Forgive me I am not very smart So efficiency Much savings

Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office. Don’t forget.
