"Big Balls is the grandson of a KGB agent" is never a phrase I thought was going to come out of my mouth but goddamn if I'm not going to say this to my own mother tomorrow

This will especially hurt rural folks

Believe them. (What’s “the job”? Ending our democracy, and 🇺🇸 as we know it?)

CPAC too toxic for French far right. Bardella cancels speech after Bannon Nazi salute. Antisemitism the new wedge issue on the far right…🤔 www.barrons.com/news/france-...

CPAC might be the WORST gathering of humans in modern history. Jan 6 LOSERS celebrated, Elon ZOOTED on ketamine, Bannon throwing up a Nazi salute? Now they’re coming for USPS, ready to sell to the highest bidder. The right is getting bolder, uglier, and more DANGEROUS ❤️Like🔁Repost➕Follow🥊

Happy Black History Month

There were THREE Republicans who condemned Trump for his remarks about President Zelensky and Ukraine. You won’t believe who. Let me me know if you agree we need even MORE Republicans to speak out and be even LOUDER👇

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Besides the bad faith and epic corruption evidenced by the letter to @robertgarcia.bsky.social from this Trump waterboy, it is “whom you call a dick,” not “who you call a dick.” Grammar counts, you unctuous toady of the wannabe mob boss WHOM you serve.

www.foxnews.com/video/636825... wait, are Fox News and Jon Stewart on the same side now? What is happening???

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

You know how bad it is when I’m cheering Pence on?

Gov. Pritzker…”My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country. We don’t have kings in America — and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one,” he said. “I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my ⭐️obligations⭐️.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/19/g...

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Holy shit. Senator Dick Durbin, the Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee, has proof suggesting Kash Patel may have LIED under oath when he said he did not know Stew Peters, a right wing extremist who worked with prominent Neo Nazis. See below: Vote NO on Kash Patel!

Works as advertised

🚨🚨This is not OK🚨🚨 Please, let's keep hitting the STREETS in PROTEST. Now or Forever Hold Your Peace #Resistance #Resist #Stopthecoup

King.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Is this is part in America History X where we all get curb-stomped?

Ok that made me laugh

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Good crowd at the protest in Huntsville today!

My favorite from today’s 50501 March in Boston.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Here’s last night’s story about the beginning of Donald Trump’s second term as well as some very upsetting statements about omelettes. You’ll see. youtu.be/cw0F8G4-dMw

The amazing thing about DOGE is however stupid you anticipated it to be, it's blown way past that.

Y’all. Buy an American Flag to drape yourself with during protests. 👮‍♀️ won’t hesitate to pew you with a non-🇺🇸 flag but pewing you with a 🇺🇸 flag would be so symbolic it’ll break the camel’s back and wake up the globe. If we all use them they can’t tell the difference in identity. Reclaim the flag.

Nothing to see here

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

Our next president will have to be technologically competent, at least , in order for us to sustain our place in the world. This will become increasingly obvious over the next 4 years as AI gets more powerful This isn’t necessarily bad. Truly. Done right, we will be a better, more equal society

Wrong Is Wrong, No Matter Who Says It Or Does It ✊🏽 #resist #Malcolmx

Our probationary employees haven't even had time to be made "corrupt". And they're the cheapest. But we know none of this is actually operating on logic, and it was never about corruption or saving money.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

Yet another blatant lie Elon won’t correct.

Doge is auditing NASA today. This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA. It’s a massive conflict of interest.

In Washington State, a bill has been proposed that allows individuals to sue criminal defense attorneys if their clients commit crimes while out on bond. It is the dumbest idea I've ever heard and it has 4 Republican sponsors www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1...

While I wait for the email that tells me whether I’ve been fired or spared, here’s a thread of things I’ve had the privilege of working on, experiencing, and accomplishing in my 10 months as a federal employee at the Storm Prediction Center. 1/?

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

The National Park Service has scrubbed any mention of trans people from the website for Stonewall National Monument. STONEWALL. Without trans people there IS no Stonewall.
