Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters right now that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington. Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.

imagine having so little love or joy in your life that what you do with billions of dollars isn’t to make sure as many people as possible never want for anything again and also to purchase and rehabilitate Lincoln Plaza Cinemas

certain respectable, centrist pundits have said or implied that i'm basically hysterical about the idea that the trump administration is segregationist but then we get stories like this one. huh, wonder what ideological perspective might explain this decision.

I mean it's drugs. And he's genuinely not very bright. And insane. but it's also 45 years of right wing and libertarian propaganda telling people that all government is always inherently bad. they genuinely don't understand how anything works.

I like to imagine that the best thing about being in a relationship is that there is someone to bring you a cup of tea when you very much want a cup of tea but don't feel like making it. Bonus points if they aren't American because then you'll get it extra fancy.

Look I know it's a cliché, but call your fucking reps. They don't get scared unless they hear from an overwhelming number of us all the time. Call them every damn day. Tell them to fight the hell back and protect us from Musk and Trump. It matters and it makes a difference, right now. reps.fyi

I feel like people really struggle with the idea that Musk etc are both evil, and definitely aware of the evil they’re trying to do, but also completely incompetent and thick as two short planks. Better for many I think to believe they’re either silly and unaware, or genius Machiavellians.

A lot of these dudes genuinely seem to believe that not being able to say the N-word was the equivalent of the guillotine. I suspect that they’ll be very surprised when some percentage of the American people actually know who they are and are pissed at them.

What was the first movie screened in the White House of the US president? The short answer is that we don't know exact titles but we do know some details. The year was 1908, the president was Roosevelt (Teddy) and the subject was birdlife of the Yorkshire dales.

Reminder: Black history offers many examples of fighting authoritarianism, so one doesn't always have to look to Europe. Nazi lawyers looked to Jim Crow for inspiration for their racist laws. Read as much about struggles against Jim Crow as you do about other examples of resisting authoritarianism

Donald Trump fired the people who make sure you and your parents get the health care you need. The people who make sure medical devices are safe for you to use. The people who approve the lifesaving drugs you rely on. How does this help working people?

So much for free speech. Let's make this cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social go viral. I'm married to @tealcartoons.bsky.social so I might be biased, but cartoons have long played a vital role in shaping political debate - both past and present. This type of censorship is deeply troubling.

Gonna drop this offer again: the flu looks brutal this year. Vaccines can help so much, but I know they can be hard. CVS will let you book an appointment online, and the will often come out to your car to give you the shot if necessary. If you need help finding one or paying, TELL US!

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

We need an outline of crisis scenarios in which everyday people will be fucked over (and how) because of the evisceration of government agencies. Most people have no idea what any of these cuts or firings mean for them.
