Can we make bunny ears part of the resistance?

If the RW is adopting the gross salute… can we start countering with the three finger salute used in hunger games?

Something we need in a reform party is more art; music, symbols, comedy- ways of addressing what’s going on and making a future vision to which we can aspire… clearer.

We may need to consider bartering again. Perhaps… with eggs 😉.

Layoffs at the US Dept of Agriculture have thrown projects into chaos, including important IRA-linked work, and many projects designed to benefit farmers www.wired.com/story/usda-l...

This week, the "Uncanny Valley" hosts discuss the lawsuits, bidding wars, and power plays over OpenAI.

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos says the money will go toward projects like Alfonso Cuarón's film Roma, which was made in Mexico and went on to international acclaim.

in our #Project2029 we’re going to invest in the best public mail delivery system in the world, electrify the fleet, and open postal banking 📫

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Congressional Democrats thinking about this in terms of traditional framing and setting themselves up for a good midterm performance are ignoring history. Make a stand now before it’s too late. The risks to democracy are so extreme. Ignore leadership if you need to. Be a hero.

Russia isn’t our friend. Bush tried. Obama tried. Trump tried during his first term. It’s an admirable goal, but it doesn’t work. No matter how much Trump capitulates to Putin, Russia won’t be our friend.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

I'd bet cash money that he cut a deal to get a private mail delivery contract, and to hand over his project to electrify the USPS truck fleet to Tesla in exchange for his resignation. Just a hunch.

NEW: You need to update Signal to protect against a Russia-developed phishing technique that uses manipulated QR codes to link your Signal to an attacker’s device, thus giving access to all your messages going forward. @agreenberg.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/russia...

Live like a libertarian! Don't think the planes are safe? Just don't fly. Don't think the food is safe? Just don't eat.

Happening now: it's 1°F outside in Chicago—a literal frozen hellscape. Furious EPA workers with AFGE Local 704 are rallying against the Trump/Musk evisceration of the federal workforce targeting new hires. Recently fired employees include those responsible for monitoring air & water quality.

This afternoon, the top FDA food official responsible for overseeing America's food safety and inspections resigned from the federal government.

If you provide people with information, resources, and specific political commitments, they will organize and act—and add vital grease to the wheels of that longed-for political comeback.

This Presidents Day, I'm thinking about our greatest leaders who found strength in securing opportunity for others — not enriching themselves. People who led with compassion and integrity. We can't lose sight of building that better tomorrow.

Lots of good, decent Americans losing jobs that benefit all of us because the world’s richest man (who none of us elected) doesn’t think they’re important. Sure, MAGA.

I like this. Thanks for vision-casting.

Call it Enlightenment Brain. @george-lakoff.com has been writing about it for 30 years. Democrats think everything can be solved by reason and facts while Republicans do actual politics. www.theframelab.org/the-politica...

My former law school dean, Harold Koh, used to admonish incoming law students to "Never let your skill exceed your virtue." A while back, I wrote about how lawyers, in particular, have skills they can use for good or evil. Reupping here cafe.com/notes-from-c...

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.
