more of this. every day. all the time.

It is well past the time to realize that Russell Vought, Elon, and the entire GOP are fucking psychopaths and if they want to inflict trauma on federal bureaucrats than the opposition should respond in kind

Dear Mr. Musk, What we found out is that each one of us is 1. a brain 2. and an athlete 3. and a basket case 4. a princess 5. and a criminal. Does that answer your question?

Elon’s mass harassment email to all federal employees underscores the importance of having unions to represent workers against abusive management.

An interesting way to help people visualize what a ruin used to be.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

i think about what the right did to h. clinton. they turned her into an unpopular monster to large chunks of the country. but ALSO: @aoc.bsky.social is not going to try and play by the rules, as hrc did. she knows how to maneuver in better ways. i doubt the right will succeed in the same way.

So if you get that OPM email, my only advice is to recognize (1) it is asking you to give them an excuse to fire you (2) it will be processed by an LLM. If you want to leave, good luck to you, thank you for your service. If not, reply in a way designed to not give their LLM bot those free excuses.

SNOW DAYS ARE THE BEST

Trump being accused of being a Russian asset would probably land differently if there was ever an example of a time he acted like he wasn’t a Russian asset.

I need a new vodka

why do i have a feeling he's describing his own future?

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

be interesting to see where this goes. if true, it certainly satisfies occam's razor.

It's not just one instance of a billion being only a million: "DOGE's only public ledger is riddled with mistakes," a team of New York Times reporters found. The figures are "full of accounting errors, outdated data and other miscalculations." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

If you are interested in beacon hill Boston the nazis children are our tying to march around and pretend they are anything but the domestic enemies they are. Do what you will Boston but the home of the American Revolution should know how to deal with Nazis.

Say what you will about the Pope but his last significant actions while ambulatory was calling JD Vance a dumb piece of shit and a fake Catholic so you gotta give him props for that

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

if you live in one of these states, check the map! if you have friends in these states, check the map. small things like reclaiming local districts for dems can lead to real change!

some actions are unforgivable, and deserve the harshest punishment.

i wish i could remember where I heard this, but: every first draft is perfect because the only thing it is required to do is exist.

Branding.

Be clear about what you are seeing. The firing of these senior officers has nothing to do with competence. This is creating an oath of loyal by the Armed Forces to the Leader. We face an uncertain future.

The Trump Administration has cost our country over 22,406 American jobs. trumpcostsamerica.com

Gen-X knows 🤣

Are you there God? What the fuck, man?

How many of my academic friends saw this? Pitt Pauses All PhD Admissions. www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

we need a new slur to describe the bizarre combination of traits exhibited by elon musk. traditional insults are simply not enough

very helpful!

How many researchers, park rangers, nurses, janitors, investigators, and prosecutors had to be fired to pay for this little exercise in autofellation?

Happy 100th Ogdred Weary.

Not long ago this would've been unambiguously good news. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Good insight from Stancil

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
