After mass layoffs, some federal agencies are trying to bring employees back www.npr.org/2025/02/21/n...

Last night I went to see an REM cover band fronted by actor Michael Shannon. They played Fables of the Reconstruction start to finish & then did a second set of deep cuts. Peter Buck came out & played on the last 5 songs or so. It was fantastic.

The future is unknown, uncertain, perhaps frightening. But no matter what darkness may lurk before us, there will be glories along the way. Acts of bravery, acts of kindness, honorable deeds that will be remembered in better times. We will rise together, one day, to sing songs of glorious victory.

The NYT got caught pushing Trump propaganda—again. They presented Javon Evans, the communications director for Houston Young Republicans, as just a random Black voter who loves Trump. When @owillis.bsky.social called them out, they quietly edited the article with ✨ zero ✨ accountability.

Also, this is a *perfect example* of the kind of bureaucratic layer that makes actually doing things in government sometimes hard! Do you a VA nurse spending her time providing health care or writing Elon an email about “What I Did Last Week”?

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

Proud to stand in solidarity with workers at Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn who are fighting back against mass layoffs and corporate greed.

I swear, some university leaders are ordering a whole second set of water fountains.

KLAN MEETING

Trump says he won’t touch Medicaid—then turns around and endorses a budget that guts it to fund tax cuts for the rich. Guess "America First" actually means "Billionaires First."

There's a local neonazi whose stickers I keep tearing down, but they fucked up and now I have a timeframe for when they're putting them up.

Yeah, this is the one

A lot of regretful Trump voters are learning the hard way that voting to hurt others isn't as fun when the harm hits you.

Did you all know? In BRAZIL, it's illegal to make, sell, distribute or promote symbols, emblems, ornaments, badges or propaganda that uses the swastika with the purpose of promoting nazism. Punishment - two to five years reclusion and fine.

This is what happens when you fire 6,000 employees in the middle of tax season.

I’ll say it again…

I can’t travel there but I’m more than happy to amplify the message. Keep your hands off our libraries, fascists!

Just gonna leave these here

A former Trump official has alleged the NYC mayor’s case was dropped in a quid pro quo with the administration.

Trump signed an executive order on IVF this week. Not to protect or expand it, but to distract Americans from his plan to restrict reproductive rights. Don’t be fooled.

I don't believe in Hell, but if I did I would die happy knowing there was a special seating section for anyone currently railing against "the sin of empathy," and every one of those seats is made with hot rusty barbs

The broflakes are melting! Nice. #broflakes

At the Long Beach Tesla Takedown, lots of folks out here (I’d estimate probably 40-50 so far) and lots of support from cars driving by. Come out and join!

resistenciaenaccionnj.org/donate-2/ we have seen ICE all over NJ, including Princeton yesterday. Please support anyway you can including by donating to Resistencia en Acción. (New Jersey has the highest proportion of undocumented workers in the nation at 22%)

In the workplace and at school, the threat of racist retaliation and genocide denial looms around every corner.

Are you a real American?

Doing some arts and crafts. See you soon, Long Beach Tesla

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.

Gazans claim Israel is obstructing humanitarian aid to keep the area unlivable and compel them to leave their homeland.

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

Take a moment to be still where you are and take a few deep breaths. "I am present." "I am safe." "I am still." You are still. Still here, still living, still persisting. Still loved and still protected. Still full of potential. Still full of opportunity. I'm glad you are still here.

Firing the Joint Chief Chair and replacing him with an under-qualified white man is the definition of unfair preferential hiring practices. It’s why they hate DEI so much, they see it as their invention being used against them

So they're all just throwing up sieg heils now
