BREAKING: Kia’s official Instagram account in Norway just posted this..

Certainly can't hurt!

Curious when DOGE will head into the House and Senate and start randomly cutting there. I mean, it's not like they are doing anything. That makes them a big waste of tax payer money.

Just to be clear, we should all still be doing our best to not spend unnecessarily and at the stores actively working against humanity.

“Trump and Vance have revealed to Americans and to America’s allies their alignment with Russia, and their animosity toward Ukraine in general and its president in particular,” writes @davidfrum.bsky.social. “The truth is ugly, but it’s necessary to face it.” theatln.tc/OBWzC38t

Hearing that President Zelensky left the Disgraced White House without signing the rare earths deal. If true, good for him.

One reason self-imagined lefties are nuts to attack Ryleigh Cooper is bc that's what Russ Vought wants. Another is that her story, told locally, is the quickest way to educate people what government really is. www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/28/r...

Did you know? There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.” Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

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

Voted for Trump, now have buyer’s remorse? The Trump philosophy seems to be his version of FAFO. Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to. #Resist

An incomplete list but it communicates the message. Just off the top of my head , Bastrop, Bogalousa, Natchez and at least two additional massacres in Georgia, New York and Chicago. With Natchez being the worst. Google Devil’s Punch Bowl: Natchez Mississippi

Let's go, Canada! Take that puck and show the US how to actually score.

Be careful of doom scrolling. Trolls abound and their remit is to ramp up anxiety and fear. Go take a walk, read a book, have a large cup of something comforting, make something delicious, and look at your world. Really look at it. This moment matters. Don't let the bastards take that from you.

6:06 pm. It's now Gulf of America. Deeply disappointed.

Is Google Maps part of the resistance? (Just took a screen shot and it still says "Gulf of Mexico."

Oh, crap. I just realized I am one degree away from Musk and two degrees away from tRump. Shit, damn, and fuck.

I just...don't feel like there's enough coffee today.

Who can spot the awkwardness in this indeed post? I bucked the system and wrote, "I choose Eugenie, Marcus, and Gabriel, but they aren't on this list." Dominque and Mariya would be excellent here too, as well as many, many others.

Week 2 down, 206.71 weeks to go.
