Wasn’t even sure what day it is

I might be extra grumpy today…

NEW: The director of data science and engineering for what is now known as the US DOGE Service has resigned. "If DOGE truly was concerned with efficiency, they wouldn’t have fired experts in procurement," she writes, "who prevent waste up front." This is by @makenakelly.bsky.social

Second round of layoffs at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency definitely happening now. I've heard from at least two laid-off employees tonight.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

This caught fire on X.

This is probably the most accurate take.

Canada has never been more united

Saw this…

Home again after an 90 minutes rumbling and roaring about in winter sun on the empty, twisty roads of the Limousin. Loving my Triumph Speedmaster. Loving France.

That Vance is a cheeky bastard, telling Europe about democracy He can just f@&£ off.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

Remind you of anyone? [Cartoon by Brendan Loper]

I thought they were all self-made rugged individualists who didn’t rely on socialism.

“It feels like a betrayal by NASA....It’s inefficient, it’s wasteful, and it’s also just messed up.” This is how scientists inside and outside the agency are feelings about the cuts to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Words by me: 🧪

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Not exaggerating when I say that the path back is going to be built on people in positions of influence regaining their sense of self-respect. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Nelson in the wysteria…

I agree with this, it's dismal watching Labour claim to be hard nosed realists making tough political calls the result of which is doing neither popular nor effective things.

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

Banning noncompetes. Changing OT pay rules to include more workers. Capping credit card fees. Erasing student loan debt. All Biden Admin executive actions to help working people that were blocked by Trump-appointed judges. And Republicans didn't have a problem with any of it.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

This little boy is a true hero and should be celebrated as such.

French people - being very French - call AI IA.

Armed Nazis thought they could waltz into Cincinnati, brandish their hate symbols, and scare a community into silence. They thought wrong.

We must build a global movement to resist the US and Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Tell Donald Trump: #HandsOffGaza. Join us: thecorbynproject.com/action 🇵🇸

MORE OF THIS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

Exactly Sully.

Well done, more of this!!

Like with every single negotiation he does, Donold is going to lose and then declare victory and then his fans will all call him a genius even though he’s a lying moron.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.
