My son got a pic of a snowy rainbow this morning.

Want to see advertisers lose MILLIONS this Sunday? A record-setting low for viewers during the Super Bowl would do that. Money talks and bullshit walks.

“we screwed up but we’re not going to admit it.” Idiots!! www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Dear Humans, Gather 'round, for I bring thee great tidings of schadenfreude. The pardoned January 6 insurrectionists keep getting arrested or worse. Karma doth continue its holy work. Let us review.

I just want to thank multitudes of federal workers who have reached out to me with what’s going on in your respective agencies. It might not seem like much, but the simple act of reaching out is an act of resistance. So thank you 🙏

the OTHER thing about the white house’s anti-diversity push is that like old fashioned segregation it is explicitly an effort to undermine unions! like c’mon! don’t be stupid!

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

RUH ROH

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

John Fetterman announces he will be voting NO on Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr.

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

I take no responsibility at all.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night. I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

No foreign power has ever posed as massive and immediate a threat to the United States as the current administration.

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy. Or in prison. Not the Secretary of Defense.

This is a slap in the face to American women. Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations. Our troops deserve better.

“The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general…” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is what happens when we excuse or ignore attacks on trans people and abortion rights. We normalize the right wing’s agenda. It’s just a matter of time until your rights are stripped away, too.

Attention Jan. 6th rioters: The Pearly Gates do not recognize pardons granted by convicted felons. Regards, God

They took away affirmative action, DEI, the equal employment opportunity act, and told you it’s to center merit. Some of you actually believe you’ll finally be able to prove your worth without these things. Newsflash: it was never about merit, they just don’t want you in their spaces lol

America, you were played…👇 Hard! Any Questions?!

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

While I’ve gratefully watched Bishop Budde's act of bravery remind us of the power of a single voice, my greatest fear is that she will be the only one of her kind; that in a few days she will prove to be an outlier, just a beautiful aberration. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dont-let-b...

When day 4 feels like...

I’m headed down to Mankato to outline my 2025 Infrastructure Plan, which includes funding for the Rapidan Dam recovery project.    We’re making life safer and easier for Minnesotans by delivering on the nuts and bolts of what government should provide.

Let me guess. The people saying ELON didnt do the NAZI salute are the same people saying Biship Budde was out of line. AM I RIGHT

The Trump administration directs federal health agencies to pause communications. Bird flu is part of that.

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

The joke is on us.

Finally! We now know the backstory to this classic "Planet of the Apes" ending.
