This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

@zainabzk.bsky.social hey friend. I think your FB has been hacked. They’re super aggressive, have called me 4 (5?) times and have enough info about you to be somewhat convincing. Please change your password as soon as possible. I reached out to mutual friends; hopefully you get a message soon!

Hey @aoc.bsky.social my rep, @gluesenkampperez.house.gov is ducking us here in WA-03. Would love it if someone else could come meet with us here in SW Washington.

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

love this @rokhanna.bsky.social We need more proposals like this that co-opt the chaos Please share off line as well !!!

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

Ramadan Mubarak! May this blessed month bring divine blessings to all who celebrate. Wishing you a time filled with hope, happiness, and peace.

HAYES: “The United States siding with Putin against democratic allies will have massive consequences for global politics for decades to come.”

For my fellow 🇺🇸 citizens who are angry, embarrassed, and horrified at how the AMERICAN PRESIDENT treated our ally, realigned the world order, and gave overt support TO AMERICA’S #1 ENEMY, join me in showing the people of 🇺🇦 that we are not our President. Donate here: u24.gov.ua #ukraine

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

If you work at a media outlet — especially if you own or run one — this is a point you really need to think very deeply about. And not just for me or anyone else, but for you. Because getting this wrong may mean the end of your profession and career as you’ve known it. From @jvl.bsky.social

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting. Meanwhile:

Please fix this headline, @financialtimes.com. There was _no_ meltdown from Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It was the allies of Putin—Trump and Vance—who melted down while a TASS reporter they invited into the Oval Office looked on to report back to the Kremlin. Don’t tarnish Zelenskyy over a Kremlinist plot.

Trump is Putin’s bitch. Always has been. Always will be. Be ashamed, America.

Just saying.

Andrew Tate is a lot of people's idea of a man. You know who's a man? Zelensky.

There was a President in the Oval Office today. His name is Zelensky. He had to fend off two impotent barking dogs sent by Putin. They are named Trump and Vance.

Donald Trump has betrayed America. If you couldn’t see it before, you just saw it today.

I despise this orange scumbag with the intensity of a thousand suns.

So is this what will get 3.5% of us into the streets? Is this the American shame that will force us to finally reckon with the Russian asset in the Oval? As a patriotic American, I’m ashamed of my country today 🇺🇸

I don’t know if I have ever in my lifetime felt more embarrassed to be an American than I feel at this very moment…

Trump is a fucking disgrace to this country, our allies, and human decency. Jesus, can we please get out of this doom loop?

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.
