The MAGA clout goblins can't BELIEVE we could possibly be offended at all their Nazi salutes, such soft lefty cucks we are, when less than five years ago they were LOSING THEIR MINDS over people taking the knee after the murder of George Floyd.

Maybe we need a new word for people who do the sieg heil to troll the libs. [googles for a minute or two] Huh. It turns out "Nazis" still does the trick.

"Move fast and break things" sounds like some bold techbro vision of innovation, but it's also the same motto of thieves who want to do a smash-and-grab and get the fuck out before anybody can catch them.

There are two town halls scheduled for this. I encourage librarians affected by this decision to register and make your voices heard. I plan to attend both. 📚 discover.clarivate.com/pq-books-upd...

Federal workers are already posting direct accounts of their firings on TikTok, garnering viral sympathy and support. Why Dems are not taking advantage of these already public, very personal profiles is indeed baffling, see this thread: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YVxTUq/

Exactly. Too many Dems are acting like this is a debate stage. It’s not.

whispers Just for the record, the holiday that's coming up, which is still officially Washington's Birthday, can be called Presidents Day (or Presidents' Day, if you must), but it's not: President's Day Please make a note of it it for your memes and things.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

Anyone who still assumes there will be a free and fair mid-term election in two years in the United States still doesn’t understand a really key part of Trump’s, Elon’s and the GOP’s plan.

Things I Would Pay For: a “Bookshop.org” except for local newspapers. I just tried to read an article in a (not at all) local newspaper that was paywalled. I get it! And I want local reporting to survive. But… 1/2

We know they’re going to ignore court opinions they don’t like. What recourse do we have? Violence? Giving up? Mass protests? We need to plan now for what’s coming. Complaining is not the answer.

Books disappearing from Amazon? They’ve done it before to publishers who won’t let them discount deeply. And then there was that coding “oops” that hid LGBTQ books. Or the unmarked AI books that included poisonous mushrooms. There are other vendors!!
