Reminder of who the Pope liked vs who he didn’t like.

"Pete Hegseth may think of himself as a warrior type, but that was the corporate behavior of a coward. He did not publish his reasons for the firings...It was the behavior of a leader who is desperately weak." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Dear manager, this week: 1. Cut my life into pieces 2. This is my last resort 3. Suffocation 4. No breathing 5. Cut my arm bleeding

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory #BlackHistoryMonth Today in history, 1979: Frank Peterson becomes the first African American general in the Marine Corps. Told when he enlisted that he’d make a great steward, Peterson vowed to become a combat pilot and entered the Naval Aviation Cadet Program. /1

Sign of the day…

Rep. Nick Begich (R-Alaska) told constituents that there was nothing he could do to stop DOGE layoffs affecting people in his state. Says said he found out about budget cuts impacting Alaska "on Twitter" and "had no idea these things were going on" in advance. popular.info/p/freshman-c...

Morning Joe bent the knee to Trump fascism & Joy Reid demanded justice against Trump fascism. Morning Joe whitewashed Netanyahu’s genocide of Palestinians & Joy Reid called out Netanyahu’s genocide. MSNBC protected Morning Joe & fired Joy Reid. I’m just not qwhite sure why.🤔

Hello again from hospital (again), where we are spending the night, wheeeeee

DoD guidance is out: do not respond

As.. of.. today.. I am.. Bram Stoker Award-nominated? Pardon my French, but holy fuck?? Deeply honoured and overjoyed to see Coup de Grâce AND Bury Your Gays make the final ballot for the Bram Stoker Awards. I'M SO HAPPY I COULD SCREAM.

Maybe hating on dick bosses is the great unifier, the thing that brings all Americans together.

I find it incomprehensible that so many Democratic politicians post on Twitter but NOT on Bluesky. I post on both platforms whenever possible, but I’ll post on Bluesky FIRST. I mean, WTF? 🤬

Will Bunch on the #TeslaTakedown protests — he says “Something is happening out there”: www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

The absolute mood

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

🇩🇪🇺🇸 The interference in the German elections by Elon Musk and Washington was "no less radical and outrageous than that of Moscow," — Merz.

Context makes this worse. For everyone who asked why no one tried to help: people who did were also detained These security guards walked right past a man standing in the aisle and yelling at the people onstage so they could detain a woman who was sitting down (h/t @seachangevibes.bsky.social) 🧵

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 My Favorite One Yet 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

If you're an anti-capitalist baby boomer, please know that I fucking love you. You are a rare and precious legend. I'm so sorry that you were left alone to deal with these bootlickers from your generation for so long. I can't imagine how exhausting it must've been. Thank you for holding the line.

Do you make less than $360,000 a year? Your taxes are about to go UP. And you have Trump, Musk, and the Republicans to thank for it.

Even Elon Musk's own AI knows what Musk is really doing.

For the record, the idea of the entire federal workforce flooding an OPM email inbox with their weekly task reports is insurmountable stupid.

Bring fired military staff into blue state National Guard. Communicate to urge military members to disobey unlawful orders and to not commit crimes against the Constitution and humanity. Prepare mass citizen mobilization to protect election integrity (Ukraine as a model).

Very recent immigrant family, maybe his father. Very few in the US.

Dear OPM FOIA staff - Remember to preserve all of these email responses, as we will be submitting FOIA requests for this consolidated compilation of information on what the entire federal government did last week. Thx - FOIA community

Remember, this asswipe is an unelected official… apple.news/AR6yci3mJSCS...

Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays. That's better than any private insurance company. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

Fed employees: There seems to possibly be communication waiting in federal employee mailboxes from Mustard. Please make sure you follow protocol and check with your Supervisors, Unions, and legal representatives prior to responding (if you are responding). #federalemployee #holdtheline

This. Is. Insane.

BREAKING: MASSIVE Ukraine rally in Washington, D.C. right now. Americans care even if Trump doesn’t.

"The vocal crowd rose to its feet repeatedly during a one-hour town hall ... [Warren] said, her voice growing hoarse. “We do not want an America that says a handful of rich folks are better than everyone else. We want an America that works for all of us, and we are willing to fight for it.”

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

As the fascist Trump Regime turns on the military in an effort to exert control, the force will become weaker and less competent. Watch for Xi to invade Taiwan and for Putin to broaden his war against the free democracies of Europe.

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

We've got ourselves an old fashioned Friday news dump. What's happened over the past few hours:

Trump just fired someone named Charlie Brown and replaced him with someone named Razin Cane. We're living in the worst possible timeline

BREAKING - The Dow just had its worst drop since March 2020 — at the beginning of Covid Back then it was a pandemic mismanaged by Trump Now it’s tariffs and inflation mismanaged by Trump Watch out — Trump is giving America economic Covid

If you're unsure how to react to the KGB news, just imagine you're a Chinese citizen who just discovered Xi Jinping was recruited by the CIA in 1987.

DID YOU KNOW: As Trump/Musk fire anyone in the fed government that participated in diversity, equity & inclusion, he just nominated Kimberly Richey for Asst Sec Office of Civil Rights at the Dept of Education. During Trump's 1st term, she ESTABLISHED the DEI office people are now being fired from.
