Because the call is coming from inside the house. The White House, specifically. My fellow citizens: Exercise your right to glitter with this vintage symbol for anti-fascism. Updated in a fine sparkly 'pixie dust' glitter. surfacemaximus.etsy.com/listing/1838...

I got hit on by a guy driving a cyber truck while stuck in traffic this morning. I told him I wasn't into betas and his face turned beet red and he started to yell but his words were drowned out by my real truck's exhaust as I drove away. This is the best day of my life.

The one really positive thing about Trump’s firing the CJCS and Musk and DOGE attacking the Pentagon is that it’s awesome for Canada and Greenland/Denmark

He nails it.

"As we navigate the sheer quantity of hate and unconstitutional extremism found within these orders, it’s essential we not let this blitzkrieg distract or deter us." - Keith Thirion

you couldn't make the "brain on drugs" PSA today because the drugs are cheaper than the eggs

Cybertrucks falling apart is sweet justice to me. Fuck that vehicular monstrosity and the man that sells them.

Dear Chris Hemsworth, when you find yourself doing a meta ad with a Kardashian, you need to step back and reevaluate what you're doing with your life.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town since they closed the old blood & soil factory. So when Steve Bannon and Elon Musk promised to bring back Heil Hitler salutes, they finally had something to cheer about. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

The governor of Maine is a 77-year-old in the middle of her second term in office and therefore ineligible to run for a third. But King Trump here tries to intimidate her by saying she'll have no future career in politics if she dares to stand up to him. I think she's all good, man.

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

Fun fact: Today is my 666th day on Bluesky. I've been having a devilishly good time since I've been here. To celebrate this sinister accomplishment, I have made a donation to Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Here's to the next 666 days! www.au.org

Governor Mills of Maine…YOU'RE A FREAKIN ROCK STAR !

Let's be very clear that Pete Hegseth absolutely has his job because he is a white man.

INVENTOR OF THE HOT POCKET: in 1978 on a family trip to naples, italy, i accidentally placed a hot charcoal brick in my mouth

Your regular reminder that the more often you own your mistakes, the easier it gets. It is like any muscle-- work it more and it gets stronger. All people mess up, and sometimes we do so publicly. It's not the end of the world to acknowledge that we missed the mark; it's how we clean up.

“If you’d like to self-nominate for a leadership position in the Trump Administration, please raise your hand.”

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

PSA: When a woman makes a joke here, it does not need improving. Enjoy and move along.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Now’s The Time: M.E.CA Mexico Europe Canada Free Trade Agreement.

Call me crazy but maybe two men who fathered 17 children with 6 different women between them shouldn’t be lecturing us about family values!

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

who’s gonna do it, who will be the hero we needed

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

The shortest honeymoon in history.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

They may want Berlin 1933 But we can make it Paris 1789

Valuing diversity is not a crime Installing white men in every position of power is not a meritocracy

Wise man…

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities. Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient. Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Donald Trump — The House resolution "implements my FULL America First Agenda, EVERYTHING, not just parts of it." The House plan slashes $880 billion from Medicaid—TRUMP OWNS THIS!!! Democrats need to speak out now—LOUDLY. Don’t Cut My Medicaid 📢
