old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

#TeslaTakedown is growing and this is our biggest weekend yet! Close to 100 peaceful protests in cities in the US and several overseas. Join a protest or create one in your town at Teslatakedown.com! This is a people's movement and you are being heard! Sell your Tesla! Dump your stock! Stop Musk!

You know we could've just been going about our lives as the economy steadily grew, our alliances continued to be strong, and we didn't have to worry about a psychopath running the country every day

The presence of a Russian TASS news agency was to ensure that this would all be communicated immediately to Putin. He’s the witness to Trump’s loyalty.

My kid is disabled and typically includes does someone need to snitch on his school???

Russia Russia Russia was always real. Fuck you to everyone who said it wasn’t.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

you know they know how completely fucked they are legally by the way none of them want to admit theyre in charge

Can someone do this in TX-15 that seat is very vulnerable? @oliviajulianna.bsky.social

why does fraud waste and abuse mean you have to make cuts to the programs budget though? Couldn’t you leave the budget at the same level and actually add MORE to it by cutting “fraud, waste, and abuse” alone? 🤔

There’s surely a lot of frustrating stuff about any bureaucracy—meeting with stakeholders in advance, circulating draft after draft, respecting chains of authority, getting legal to sign off, etc.—but there’s no better illustration of why it exists than Elon Musk’s month of chaotic destruction.

Michael Cloud is in the district right next to De La Cruz in Texas and has a similar constituency let’s see if we can push him toward being magic number 9 @oliviajulianna.bsky.social

Reminder: we already paid for this. This is our tax $$ he’s trashing.

Happy President's Day Joe Biden and Barack Obama. 46>47

If RFK wants to meaningfully decrease rates of depression, he can support paid family and maternity leave, equal pay for women, universal healthcare, and fully funded public schools. Stigmatizing medication that treats the mental impact of a country that devalues your existence won’t cut it.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

THIS IS WHY IM ON BLUESKY 💀💀💀🥵🥵🥵

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

"for a combination of reasons, consumer rejection could be uniquely devastating to Tesla right now." slate.com/business/202...

years ago an emmy-winning comedy writer posted this in a DM group and I’ve thought about it literally every day since (anonymized and shared with permission)

talk like a human and tailor your message to the medium. I’m a “share quippy meme” on ig stories and then a down to earth post on facebook person. I have religious family members on my FB, so I base a lot of those posts on faith and ref. religious citations (the letter fr. the pope was big today)

they fucking better

Trash ass Chiefs with Christian nationalist kicker and Trump loving Mahomes family kicked into the dirty by the Eagles who come from a city with a big Black population during a Super Bowl with Kendrick Lamar and a super Black halftime show all in front of Trump. Love it.

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue. TWENTY. As in, they call that getting slammed. So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind. TWENTY is a lot.

We’re dithering and losing sight of a huge issue: OUR PRESIDENT, WHO IS A CONVICTED CRIMINAL, IS COMPILING A LIST OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT PROSECUTED THE PEOPLE WHO ABETTED HIS CRIMES

Many people are asking me if Elon Musk is stealing tax-payer money or using our private information to enrich himself? I’m a Member of Congress on the committee for Government Oversight and I can’t tell you that he’s not. That’s a problem.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

because the president is in charge of anyone with the authority to arrest him

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

I emailed my safe blue rep and told her I expect her to get loud and that I would support any and all procedural obstructions and roadblocks she could put in the way. we have to call even the safe ones otherwise they might think their constituents want them to play nice

we also need the 30% of voters who are checked out
