Did you know that @chelsea-wolfe.bsky.social has oracle card readings on her site? I just found out. And the first pull was… Well. Anyway. You can play with it here: oraclereading.chelseawolfe.com

Every day, they're testing how far they can take this. If they think they can take it all the way, they absolutely will. But we don't have to let them.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.* There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

The most notable thing about this clip from the president's address to the governors is the way Maine Gov. Janet Mills stood up to Trump. And the second most notable thing is the absolute stone-faced silence from the other governors in the room. www.c-span.org/clip/white-h...

Seriously, someone HAS to do a sketch about the choir director of the J6 Choir getting ready for the big show. “No QAnon Shaman, you can’t wear the headdress, it’s pointy and it blocks the person beh— CONFEDERATE FLAG GUY!! DO NOT TASE THE TENOR CAPTAIN!!”

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

And THAT, my friends, is how it’s done! 🤗 Rich McCormick showed up to his own town hall expecting a warm GOP hug and instead got booed into another dimension. His constituents—actual Republican voters—lit him up like a malfunctioning Tesla, furious over job losses, budget cuts, 1/4

If we’re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

a lot of money for a small staff that doesn't have offices & wrecks rather than builds fully loaded with fringe benefits, you could pay about 200 GS-15 (top of the regular federal scale) civic technologists at USDS or TTS *for a year* for that money what's a better use of your tax dollars? 🤔

NEW FOIA Files newsletter is out USAID told me it can’t release documents via #FOIA due to “recent developments” Meanwhile, a memo I obtained sent to DHS FOIA officers this week directs them to “maximize transparency” when processing FOIA requests www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

It really fucking burns me that Hoffman, Joplin, Ledger, Belushi, Hendrix, and all those folks die of drug overdoses but this freak keeps on chugging.

VERY important we stop the SAVE act.

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.

What happened last time we had a mad king? America doesn't do kings.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.
