trump take egg @mtsw.bsky.social

the raw milk thing is fascinating, driven by the same compulsion to demonstrate loyalty to the in group that drove sales of ivermectin as a COVID cure. people who never cared about pasteurization 2 years ago now making raw milk consumption their entire personality. truly the dorkiest of subversions

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

We’re definitely seeing a spike in Washington DC jobless claims:

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

“HELLO FREE PRESS WATCH ME EXTORT THIS GOVERNOR RIGHT NOW”

One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world just lost $1.4 billion (with a B) to a hack. This is 5x as much as the previous largest exchange hack in history.

lmao, jesus

Coinbase says that the SEC has agreed to drop the enforcement case against the company. It only cost them $75 million in political contributions.

it really does frustrate me when i see people/organizations/events align themselves with FIRE or host FIRE speakers, as if they're some kind of ACLU 2.0? they might seem like allies in the free speech fight but they're agenda peddlers when you get to the core of their campaigns. disingenuous folks

Murdoch’s New York Post today. #ukraine🇺🇦

Someone should alert Andrew Ferguson at the FTC since he announced he's so very interested in learning about shadowbanning.

trump basically campaigned on overthrowing the global post-WWII order, but indirectly. MAGA people love to slander others as "globalists" but have no clue what that really means. when steve bannon barks it though, this is exactly what he's talking about: removing the US from global affairs entirely

guess the jan 6th traitors have a green light to do pretty much anything now

for all the talk about "protecting children" and how "we need to increase birth rates to save society", the right sure does love to push a medical agenda that actively harms and kills a lot of children!

In December, the Texas Observer and @bellingcat.com identified the operators of four prominent white supremacist accounts on X, including documenting their interactions with Elon Musk. One worked for the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Indian Head, Maryland.

Stealing the infrastructure we paid for. They're treating blue states and cities like we're conquered territory to be plundered.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Seconds ago, the Senate voted to confirm the nomination of this guy to be FBI director. www.thebulwark.com/p/kash-patel...

if only someone was in a position of power to do anything

man on the street style reporting is no match for gen z. how can you cut to the root of an issue when cocky confidence supersedes truth? why is a 25-year old sneakerhead @wbur.org 'here and now' barometer? MOTS relies on honest dealers who can speak to impacts and life experience. caleb has neither

Reports of IRS mass layoffs coming today. Roughly 10% of those expected to be affected are veterans, per former IRS commissioner Charles Rettig. More are current members of reserves or family members of active-duty military personnel. www.linkedin.com/posts/charle...

frustrating to feel that our current moment, in small part, is due to migration away from personal interaction to doing everything behind anonymous screens we find ourselves (again) in a moment when organizing physically is critical to sustaining democracy but are unable to effectively muster folks

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A news conference between Zelenskyy and Donald Trump’s Ukraine envoy is cancelled at U.S. request, a Kyiv official says.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

everyone hates zuck www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Man this is a fucking riot. From site to author to subject matter.

for all the real ones: the salty dogs and the scallywags, catch the live stream of the SS united states leaving its forever home (the south philly IKEA) today at noon. this is not a drill like the last 17 announcements! really happening today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrjO...

when food safety inspections stop and flights are grounded indefinitely, i hope someone can drive home a message to get people to appreciate just how critical these federal programs are. the GOP has had a stranglehold on bashing federal funding for too long (and their states are the biggest takers)

DeJoy fucked over the USPS and now he's leaving. Job done. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Since federal health information is getting harder to come by, I thought I'd share this new resource. Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine launched an online Avian Flu Resource Center--a one-stop clearinghouse for trustworthy information on bird flu. www.vet.cornell.edu/highly-patho...

seems wasteful for the government department tasked with cutting waste (who has no leader according to DOJ) to set a bunch of COVID tests on fire that the govt already paid for. and all in service to ending federal programs that cost very little money so trump can justify tax cuts for the wealthy!

NEW: Letter from 900+ former federal prosecutors warns of decisions at Justice Dept "Some of you have been ordered to make charging decisions based expressly on considerations other than the facts & the law, including to serve solely political purposes" www.thejusticeconnection.org/wp-content/u...
