TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

Well, so much for excellence. In a misguided attempt at inclusion, the New Westminster community center has discontinued any classes that are not open to beginners. So my daughter's advanced dance classes are now having to rent space elsewhere. This is how Idiocracy happens.

I heard a conversation at work today with a driver from the States. He was asked how he felt about having the Orange Menace as president. He said sometimes you have to choose the less crazy option, then said that Harris would have been worse. "I want to keep my guns". Good luck with that, idiot.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

$19,000,000,000,000.00

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Not flying. Nope. I get the "don't let fear stop you from living your life" philosophy, but I don't want flying to stop me from living my life either.

BREAKING — NBC celebrates Black History Month by firing its most prominent primetime Black cable news host and its most prominent weekend Black cable news host, and pushing out its Black nightly news anchor.

Reminder: An oligarch is taking a chainsaw to the federal government, firing thousands of civil servants every day, shutting down agencies, blocking funds for cancer research, stealing your medicaid and social security... ...because a few hundred billionaires don't want to pay their share in taxes.

Courage and honor come in many forms.

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Germany’s likely new chancellor Friedrich Merz: And for me, the absolute priority will be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that we step by step to also truly achieve independence from the USA. I would not have believed that I would have to say something like this on TV...

I'm just saying, maybe binging Mr. Robot right now might have been a bad idea. Historically speaking.

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Warning! The constant, daily attempts by Felon Trump & Fascist Musk to destroy our democratic freedoms need to be met with immediate action. Build power with collective actions, generating momentum to stop the Trump/Musk crime spree. #WeHaveThePower

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

I’m not saying we should all panic. But maybe the government shouldn’t shut down all the systems we have for monitoring this situation. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

"You say 'amateur' as if it was a dirty word. 'Amateur' comes from the Latin word 'amare', which means to love. To do things for the love of it." - Mozart in the Jungle

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Absofuckinglutely

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Knowledge is power…

I saw a video of known alcoholic Pete Hegseth drinking multiple scotches in the middle of a televised presser and started laughing so hard I began coughing as I believe we're less than 2 weeks removed from him promising never to drink a single time as Secretary of Defense and nothing matters anymore

White House bars AP from Oval Office and Air Force One over "Gulf of Mexico" use: The White House on Friday said it will bar the Associated Press from future events in the Oval Office and Air Force One over AP's refusal to obey President Trump's executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the…

Elizabeth isn’t hiding. She’s leading from the front:

I find it bizarre that we managed to go through 44 Presidents in over 200 years without hearing the term "quid pro quo" related to them, and now we've had it at least twice with the same crooked fucking asshole. So tired of this shit.

If you agree with my friend @azbrittney.bsky.social We need to be following each other 🦋🇺🇸🇨🇦🦋

My emotions: 7am: Today I'll be more positive 10am: I hate my job, the sun and all stupid people Lunch: Ok, I think I overreacted 5pm: Another stupid day is over 8pm: If I can get enough sleep, I'll be fine 1am: (Wide awake) I hope aliens come down and destroy the GOP
