“See you in court.” 👆 how she responded

This is exactly why Elizabeth Holmes got as far as she did with her fake tech.

tfw you learn about jury nullification

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

The crash is beginning in academia.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

What dems do not understand is that this is true and is NOT a messaging issue. It is a principles/values issue. If they aren’t fighting tooth and nail, it confirms to the rest of us that they are A) spineless or B) in league with the fascists.

Corporations were never our friends.

Just had an excellent interview with @advocate.com, and I really think this one is worth your time to read.

Disgusting.

Scores of federal workers w/ disabilities were let go in last week's "Valentine's Day Massacre." Here's a story about the pain, anger and bewilderment I heard from so many people this week. @statnews.com #disability www.statnews.com/2025/02/21/l...

People are speeding toward the find out phase.

bannon was not “mimicking elon musk”, he was “being a nazi”. hope that helps.

Listen. I'm not saying rich people probably coordinated that documentary to sway public opinion right before the hearing. But I'm also not *not* saying that.

Luigi Mangione's NY State trial starts today. He has received over half a million in legal fund donations. His defense team has had so many requests for info that they made him a website: www.luigimangioneinfo.com

An example of what the billionaires are trying for. But instead of buying land and marketing, they will force it via coup of the U.S. But there are more of us: “They’re up against people who care, and that means a lot. We hope it means more than their billions.” youtu.be/PHlcAx-I0oY?...

The leopards continue to eat faces on both sides of the aisle.

“Are we the baddies?” Yes.

youtu.be/wxSwYUennBA @scishow.bsky.social great explanation of #MECFS #LongCOVID #PEM.

Im sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Amerah. Prior to the war Amerah was in her fourth year of studying law. She has lost her university and her home and is living in tents with her three children, including Ayool who suffered an injury that may cause her to lose her hearing.

70 year old Senator Tommy Tuberville can’t think of the word “triangle”

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

“We know in our bones and from our modern history the danger of an unchecked government scapegoating ‘outsiders’ to gain power, preying on a population experiencing hard economic times to gain support for a violent and destructive agenda. We will not stand by while history repeats itself.”

Trump: I AM A KING! NYT: Trump displays a "fondness for regal themes"

🖕 NYT

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

Max Stier: This is a time of crisis...Civil servants need to be supported, Congress must step up and protect our constitutional system and the rule of law, and the public needs to engage to help hold to account those who are seeking to destroy our government. contrarian.substack.com/p/what-the-l...

But DEIA!

If you use Signal and your threat model includes Russian state actors, make sure your version of Signal is up to date in order to harden your account against these attacks: cloud.google.com/blog/topics/...

Trump calls himself “THE KING”

Works as advertised

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Pretty sure the City Killer asteroid has the best chance of winning the 2032 “election”

the valid criticism of undercooked, error-prone, hugely resource intensive generative AI systems being pushed by unethical hypelords is not inherently political, and I think framing that criticism as something done by "the left" tends to undermine it as the baseless grievance of wingnuts

(1/6) Why the federal funding chaos disproportionately affects Native Americans:

The border czar wants the FBI to arrest AOC. A Fox News contributor is calling journalist Mehdi Hasan a terrorist. Elon Musk said everyone at 60 Minutes should go to prison. You all see how quickly we’re descending into madness, right? It’s not subtle, slow, or anything but a premeditated scheme.

🚨 THIS WOULD BE VERY BAD 🚨

This morning, the US National Science Foundation fired 168 employees, approximately 10% of its workforce, for no cause other than they were the agency's most recent hires. 🧪 Co-workers are leaving supportive messages before they have to clear out of the building at 5 p.m. Sent to me by a source ⬇️
