Sleazy car salesmen

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Lemme get this straight. Elon Musk's rockets keep exploding. His Tesla cars catch fire and his stock is tanking. Twitter keeps crashing. But MAGA wants to give this guy control of FAA software that keeps our planes from crashing? Hard pass.

FOLK MUSIC FRIDAYS! Every Friday, The Nightwatchman shares a tune “to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.” Today, it’s “LET FREEDOM RING” from my One Man Revolution album—one of my favorites, recorded on a dark, powerful night.

I was sitting just off frame two rows up to the right, and can confirm this was the woman

Hairdo? Hair don’t.

Fat Nixon National Golf Club

MASSIVE RIFF MONDAYS: “SHOW ME HOW TO LIVE”—a live monster! I wrote the riffs during RATM’s Evil Empire sessions, but they didn’t fit then. Years later, they found a home in this Audioslave banger. Fun fact: the video was inspired by Vanishing Point (1971), a favorite of dear friend Chris Cornell.

MAGA is big mad at James Carville: “It could be a combination of being a fat fcking slob, which of course he is. It could be that he can’t sleep at night because his beached whale body can’t allow the circulation it needs…we should revisit the possibility of a Syphilis diagnosis.”

This is the Atlanta Fed warning us of a big economic contraction. Trump owns this.

Gryfalcon visits the Arctic cam. A reminder to soar this week! #birdlovers

Vermont vs Vance youtu.be/vi2Viwln590?...

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

I'm Mar🐫 & I approve this message. 👍 #EcomomicBlackout (image by @donkoclock.bsky.social) 🙏

what democrats did in february

MAGA PSA

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN…

New book by RFK Jr, a sequel to his first book, The Very Hungry Brain Caterpillar.

It’s THEATRICAL THURSDAYS! Each week, a new film to watch, ponder, and discuss. Today’s recommendation is THE MOON IS DOWN, the 1943 film adaptation of the John Steinbeck book. When Fascism comes suddenly to a small town people find out who they really are and what they’re really made of.

Finally. A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States. I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it. It is NOT just for athletes. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

This is a librarian appreciation post. If you’re a librarian I just want you to know that what you do is important and that you’re loved and appreciated.

Have a Great Grey Owl Day!

When I landed in SLC, I used the bathroom despite an anti-trans bathroom ban. Nobody cared. Nobody ever does. The truth is, whatever anti-trans laws they keep passing, nobody actually gives a damn or wants to be the bathroom police. This is the ultimate reason anti-trans hysteria will fail.

Stephen King has returned to Twitter. 10/10. No notes. 🔥

Republicans will soon bring forward a “reconciliation” bill, that encapsulates the value system of greed and their obedience to oligarchy. It is the economic essence of Trumpism. It will make the rich richer & the poor poorer. It must be defeated. And we can defeat it.
