Yall better be both sharing the Stand up for Science posts /and/ figuring out how to get your butt to one of them! @standupforscience.bsky.social

Half expecting an EO declaring, despite being dead, that Sylvia Brown will be the new Secretary of the Department of Astrology.

Rep. Crockett is a treasure.

New — Social Security Administration (SSA) employees received an email today from HR announcing that nearly all telework is terminated immediately and everyone is expected in the office *this wednesday*, per a copy of the email I reviewed.

Hmmm, and Elons t shirt and hat on inside? Crickets

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

Opt out tomorrow!

Participating in a nationwide economic boycott is easy when you live in a small town with no national chains and also you had no plans to leave your house anyway

For the record, do I think a one-day boycott is going to make much of an economic impact? No. Do I think that a sort of "Baby's First Boycott," performative though it is, might be useful to make some folks aware of the impact of their economic power, and how it might be wielded politically? Maybe.

#EconomicBoycott People have the power!

Buy nothing today! If you need necessities buy from a local small business. Remind big corporations that our purchases are what create their profits!

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

NY City Council speaker Adrienne Adams: "With the resignation of deputy mayors, it has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers. He now must prioritize New York City and New Yorkers, step aside and resign."

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Today in "The Unsurprising White Supremacy of the Current Administration"

This is fascism.

Weak sauce, @axios.com We’ll be calling it “Gulf of Mexico” even in the gulags, and we’d boycott White House pressers if we were up there to stand in solidarity with the AP — even if they won’t stand in solidarity as we’re banned from Speaker Sexton’s pressers here in Tennessee.

I literally do not understand the end game here. What's the purpose of all this except to sow chaos and make us weaker and sicker?

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” Scotten served three combat tours in Iraq as a U.S. Army Special Forces Officer and earned two Bronze Stars. Clerked for Roberts and Kavanaugh.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

Stand with science. Always.

New from me — “What it comes down to is the removal of choice, especially when it comes to established health care. People should not have to suffer the anguish of being denied life-saving drugs because a couple of guys have decided to apply conspiracy theories instead of established science.”

This is the way.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

So the US is now kidnapping whole families and trafficking them to random countries that the US has coerced into imprisoning them for some unspecified period of time

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?

Resistance to Trump's despotism is growing...and it's working. Earlier this week, Team Big Picture talked with California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta about the important work he's doing to resist Trump in the courts.

Snuggled up watching the birds together!

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

#gulfofmexico

This is an absolute scandal. Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad, delaying waivers to provide for their safe return to the United States. As these civil servants lost their possessions, housing, and money, Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations.

Crockett: While he was stopping money… somehow the only money that didn’t stop was the money going to his organization. I don’t know you can have him be watchdog as well as the guy living off of the government. If you want to talk about government welfare, it looks like Elon Musk

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

The Acting Solicitor General has notified Congress of DOJ's intent to ask #SCOTUS to overrule Humphrey's Executor—a major 1935 ruling upholding the independence of agencies like the FCC, FTC, NLRB, etc. fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldoc... Because *less* independence is what we need...

This is like a bank robber getting to fire the cops and disable the alarms just before he strolls into the bank lobby.

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

can’t think of a better example of the way certain people will explicitly advertise themselves as non-ideological, skeptical, always exercising reason and logic, while using the credulousness this branding buys to produce the most abjectly shameful idol-worshipping bullshit

WILLFUL IGNORANCE: there's an -ology for that. How to people get duped? What's the truth? How do you talk to others with seemingly very different realities? We discuss in this freshly updated Agnotology ep with Stanford prof Dr. Robert Proctor: www.alieward.com/ologies/agno...

I've received a tip that access to NASA supercomputing services used for fundamental physics research has been disrupted. I was told in-process computation jobs were interrupted from January 22-29 and access hasn't been restored. If you're in this situation, message stevanzetti.12 on Signal.
