Even worst than we could have imagined. Not only a drug-addled nepo lunatic but a nazi eugenicist

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Harvard University sues Trump administration, media reports say reut.rs/433SQAz

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

A good man who is doing something. Thank you, Senator Van Hollen.

We’re in court today defending Rümeysa Öztürk's right to free speech after she was snatched off the street for an op-ed she wrote. The Trump administration’s retaliation against international students for their protected speech is unconstitutional — we’re fighting back.

Donald Trump skipped the dignified transfer of four of our soldiers because he had to go golfing with the Saudis in the midst of a catastrophic stock market collapse he intentionally caused and you Yankee Doodle dipshits still think he gives a single flying fuck about this country?

Even I knew this was going to be baaaad for the economy and I was a fckning English major.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Criminalizing protest is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes

Defiant, sassy yet gentle and sweet. One of few sweet spots getting me through this dystopian reality.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Studies show that cats mimic their owner’s personalities. Huh, I never thought I was a judgy asshole.

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Since everything is terrible, here’s a picture of a fluffy marshmallow

I missed this entirely: The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines. Musk demanded he resign. He did. On January 20th. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Spent a mini fortune on top-of -the-line cat beds, blankets and pillows, a treasure trove of plushies and toys — and her favorite toy, pillow and companion is an empty Coke bottle. Asshole. (Not sure if I’m referring to myself or the cat).

"Cat puke? Sir, I know nothing about this 'cat puke' of which you speak, and frankly I'm offended at the suggestion that I might. Good day, sir. I said, good day!"

When you're working from home. Dogs: OH MY GOD YOU’RE HERE ALL DAY AND THIS IS THE BEST AS I CAN LOVE YOU AND SEE YOU AND BE WITH YOU AND FOLLOW YOU AND I AM SO HAPPY AND EXCITED BECAUSE YOU ARE THE GREATEST AND I LOVE YOU BEING HERE SOOOO MUCH! Cats: What the fuck are you still doing here?

Filipino fast food chain Jollibee is serving food to people affected by the LA fires.

Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads) will be terminating all major Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs, effective immediately.

It may seem like not that big a thing, but it’s these little scars and jabs that begin to rip into your sense of being. The casual cuts that end up rendering your soul. Even if you don’t advocate, how about just letting people live their own damn lives and staying in own damn lane?

Meta is making big changes to hiring practices, sources told me and @mikeisaac.bsky.social - no more teams devoted to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion - no diversity preference for working with outside minority owned supplier businesses - no goals for hiring women and minorities

Oh gosh I can’t pick, I like them all so much, I’ll just take the whole lot! -me, choosing my battles

There goes another set of sheets #murdermittens

Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?

Deleted Insta and Threads. Was done with FB years ago. F$ck you Zu$k

When they ask you why you think the richest dude in the world is deeply deranged and insecure, show them this interaction between him and his burner account.
