Great stuff from @briantylercohen.bsky.social youtu.be/eXZe2xvNfu4?...

In happier news, Spring Training has started! www.mlb.com/redsox/sched...

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.

Tr*mp countdown day 34 of 1461 I'm glad some of these people are seeing the consequences of their votes and having regrets. It doesn't do much in the short term, but perhaps they will vote differently in the next election - if we're allowed to have them, that is. youtu.be/i915Ub6Akxg?...

It's 2025, people. Can we agree that certain things are just not ok? Things like: Racism Homophobia Fatphobia Ableism Deliberately misgendering/deadnaming S*xual harassment/s*xual assault/r*pe Harassment/stalking of any kind Using those stupid AI voices in ads/vids (Not a complete list, obvs)

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social Mr. Kinzinger, I agree completely with your opinion of Tr*mp, but I'm disappointed by your use of "fat" in your description of him. By fatshaming him you are implying that the 70% of American adults who are overweight or obese are also "sweaty, smelly, gross". We're not.

Tr*mp countdown day 30 of 1461 As a disabled person with limited income, there are limits to how I can actively participate in the fight against fascism. But this one is easy: I make a small monthly donation to the ACLU. Regular monthly donations can help just as much as large one-time donations.

We cannot let this become our new normal. Write and call your Senators and Representatives. Let them know that you expect them to fight for you, to fight for America. Great piece by Robert Reich here. youtube.com/post/UgkxykF...

Great job by Ruben (@rubenbolling.bsky.social).

MAGA acts like finding fraud in government is some new thing DOGE invented. They aren’t good at it, but experts who were let go were.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Fascism isn’t coming to America, it’s already here. We are long past the warnings of an approaching existential threat looming on the distant horizon of our story, which many of us spent the past decade imploring people not to ignore. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/fascism-is...

Tr*mp countdown day 24 of 1461 I wonder if the girl in the orange dress in the Temu ad ever realized that the little kid picked her nose right before she high-fived her. 🤢 It's right at the end, but be careful: once you see it, you can't unsee it. 👀

Tr*mp countdown day 23 of 1461 3 weeks down, 205 to go What kind of asshattery will the Muskrat and his minions from DOUGE (Department of Unnecessary Government Employees) - aka DOUGEbags - get up to this week? What will happen when Tr*mp finally tires of the Muskrat and tells him he's Fired™?

Tr*mp countdown day 21 of 1461 Ohhh, my! 😆😂

Over the past 17 days, Donald Trump has unleashed a firehose of executive actions designed to overwhelm us, many of which are illegal or unconstitutional. Todd Beeton broke down the most egregious and looked at how Democrats and the courts are taking a stand against them for the Big Picture.

Tr*mp countdown day 4 of 1461 Card of the day: White Raven Spirit "If you are in a time of challenge and feeling cynical, all you need to do is ask for a reminder. White Raven will appear to reassure you that all of this is leading to something better, for magic is in the wind."
