This all day long

Americans don't do history. That's why we don't need a Department of Education anymore. Knowing facts is boring. Watching TikTok videos is more fun.

Brilliant read. So, read it. Now would be good. Finally, My Tax Dollars Are Being Used to Uncover Publicly Available Government Information www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/fin...

Good Morning from your Super Bowl Champion, Philadelphia Eagles. #FlyEaglesFly | #GoBirds

“The lingering effects of polio in his left leg" It's almost like Mitch McConnell's leg is working harder to whip GOP votes against RFK Jr. than Mitch McConnell is.

We are well past the point of being embroiled in a political crisis. We are facing a wholesale assault on human decency. To not rise to the fight is to be indecent ourselves.

These Musk antics are like if we had a play by play regarding the spread of a deadly virus and nobody gave a shit. God help us if another health crises appears - we're well and truly fucked. Govt. will lie about it, media will be complicit, bulk of Americans won't even notice. #resist #revolt

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

The blatant ‘fuck you’ this is sending is appalling but also super on brand for our capitalist overlords #resist #revolt

Umm...guys? Guys, I don't like this one. Like at all. #resist #revolt #stopskynet

Why would any sane, intrinsically good person withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council?! Oh wait, we no longer have one of those in charge. #resist #revolt

i love that in addition to everything else, elon musk is the dumbest asshole on the planet

Wildly telling that following the DC crash, MAGA were able to identify a single trans pilot to blame. Like how many can there be in the military if you can immediately point to a single person. Almost like it’s not a real issue. Just like college sports. It’s just hate. Period. #resist #revolt

I cannot exaggerate my rage at everyone who said “it won’t be that bad” or “we can’t have Trump derangement syndrome” or “we need to work with them” or “we need to focus on policy” or “maybe DOGE can do some good things” after 2016, 2020, or 2024

One of the more depressing parts of this is that many of us shouted the potential dangers from the rooftops and were met with a smirk of skepticism or complete dismissal. Much of the electorate just didn't want to think that hard. Sadly, we were even more right than our nightmares predicted.

Hello? Anyone in government with a spine home? Anyone? He's running through our institutions with a flamethrower and I'm mostly hearing crickets. @aoc.bsky.social has been vocal but who else really? We need to stand the fuck up and fight now or the game will be over. #resist #revolt

This is what we need more of. Just a flat out 'Nazi punks fuck off' mentality. Do not humor these fuckers.

California DOE going BEASTMODE

Because of DEI

I would guess that NPR and PBS viewership - especially these days - skews more liberal because the current conservative party is built at least partly on anti-intellectualism. By and large, they are not curious and have no interest in alternate viewpoints or factual information.

You know how we often say that every accusation is a confession when it comes to Trump? I never thought that it applied to his whole 'if we leave Dems in charge we won't have a country anymore' thing, but he does seem hellbent on destroying it. Maybe MAGA really stands for Make America Go Away?

Should go without saying but the point of diversity in hiring is to find _better_-qualified candidates outside of stagnant social networks that don't reward merit, like the kind of network that would put an MTV personality with a marketing degree in charge of the Department of Transportation

As a white, hetero cis man feeling this fucking distraught and beside myself about what’s happening right now, I cannot even begin to fathom how the Women, the Black, Brown, and Asian folks, and the LGBTQIA+ friends in my life must feel. Like holy fucking shit. I stand with you all. #resist #revolt

INSANITY

Can't get my head around this disgusting anti-trans legislation. Just cruel, cruel people without an ounce of empathy for anyone else's situation or point of view. Fucking vile.

I love this platform but I do occasionally worry that we could end up creating our own version of an echo chamber. Don't get me wrong, I love having a space to safely connect and hopefully, establish a robust resistance. Let's just please not let it devolve into a MAGA-lite feedback loop. #resist

And I could use less ontological dithering from the media of record here. That’s a Nazi salute, that’s a concentration camp, and that’s a lie. Euphemisms have gotten too expensive.
