Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check. What I’m saying is we can go harder.

Disgraced NAR "prophet" Chris Reed was caught using his "prophecy" skills and church influence for the sexual predation of ministry school student. Less than a year later he's platformed and legitimized by NAR leader Chuck Pierce. Gross.

Landlords watched Black Mirror and said, "Not dystopian enough."

Francis Collins, the NIH Director for 12 years, led the Human Genome Project and other NIH efforts for 32 years, resigned today. Key words from his resignation letter www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/u...

DOGE has quietly deleted the biggest “savings” it once celebrated — but its list of savings is still full of errors. Why DOGE’s data is so wrong, and why it matters. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

Still too much for a rolling dumpster.

Women in STEM are being removed from federal websites so there is a new spot to learn about contributions women have made to science! Please share and contribute stories #STEM #womeninSTEM womeninstemus.blogspot.com

Richest guy in the world telling us we can’t afford to have our government fund cancer research.

Schadenfreude

One thing that I suspect I'm going to find myself saying again and again this year is that while, yes, it is important to devote resources to fighting these motherfuckers, it is also going to be vital to continue supporting and sustaining places and people that provide a sense of normalcy.

No one wants a paper trail because spending funds Congress has not appropriated is colloquially known as “stealing from the US Treasury.”

There are measles outbreaks in the U.S. & Canada. A disease we eradicated is making a comeback due to dangerous anti-vaxx rhetoric We need mandatory masking in healthcare A respirator protects against Covid, measles & more There’s no excuse to expose patients when we have the tools to prevent it:

NEW: Minnesota utility regulators voted 4-0 that Amazon must get a "Certificate of Need" to install a massive fleet of 250 diesel generators at its data center site in Becker. Meanwhile, Amazon is still lobbying for an exemption at the Legislature: www.startribune.com/amazon-must-...

As this plays out, don’t lose sight of the fact that this is about tax breaks for the billionaire owners of Meta, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. At the expense of things like transit, and affordable daycare.

I’m guessing that the big corps aren’t ready for those of us planning to continue the boycott. I had already planned to totally cut purchases from Target, Starbucks, Whole Foods & Amazon and direct my spending elsewhere. I cut out Walmart long ago.

have y’all seen this anywhere regarding the economic boycott?

i think the economic boycott has had further reach because the poster is so cute. okay bunny i will listen to you.

Friendly reminder: The world feels like it’s on fire. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed, but your energy is best spent on what you can control. Clenching every muscle in your body won’t fix anything so take a deep breath, unclench your jaw, and let yourself relax a little 💕

if you wanna do economic blackout or whatever, then fine, do that. but if you really want to make a difference, send the money you saved today to someone begging for help with their rent instead of spending it tomorrow at the same fucking places you always do

Maybe give your unspent money directly to people who need it. Some of us don’t need a buy nothing day because some of us have nothing with which to buy anything beyond our continued breath.

mutual aid request: @reedeliot.bsky.social is recovering from COVID while also navigating an autoimmune condition (and some mounting costs related to their vehicle), but has no remaining PTO. let's help reed prioritize rest and recovery! can you chip in to help? venmo: rerahrich

If I were a Democrat, and I saw Trump do a purge of high-level generals who were women and people of color and wouldn't be "yes men," I wouldn't vote to advance JD Vance's college friend for Secretary of the Army. And yet....16 Democrats just did so

This is a second lavender scare. They're going to purge all LGBTQ employees from the federal government.

If you think mask bans are “no big deal” because there’s medical exemptions, consider the following: Police are not doctors Many disabilities are invisible Everyone should have the right to protect their health Criminalizing masks sends a message that maskers are “bad”. It emboldens anti-maskers

Really good Washington Post story on climate change killing Minnesota outdoor rinks. Lest people think this is somehow a Minneapolis fuckup, Maple Grove has shuttered more than half its rinks, too. wapo.st/4gQSKkw (free)

MN GOP’s priorities are not Minnesota’s priorities. A slew of anti-environment, anti-trans, anti-transit, and pro-gun bills in my committees this week. 🚫 HF269 Ends commuter transit line 🚫 HF376 Ends clean car standards 🚫 HF435 Removes trans protections in corrections 🚫 HF13 Stand-your-ground

I keep saying this but... if you live in a big city and want to fight fascism, questioning what your mayor and cops are doing to unhoused people is an *excellent* start. Criminalizing people who have nothing is how nice urban liberals do fascism.

If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask. If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask. If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask. If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask. My ultimate guide to respirators:

Every day these people show us who they are

New: Why practices to connect us with our own humanity, each other, & perhaps something bigger, really matter now— And can help keep us more whole, less responding on their terms & more on our own, more making choices as the people we wish to be. Practical tips & bigger picture here:

Too many cis people see trans right as a luxury for decadent times and are far too eager to surrender us when times get tough
