Attacking CPFB just so happens to clear the way for X payments www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/b...

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

So many great insights in this interview. “during slavery and segregation, there’s … discourse in which whites are … saying, “If we’re not the slave masters, we will be the slaves.” …to not be able to imagine equality, but …imagine that the end of your supremacy will mean your oppression or death”

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

My fifth grader wrote an essay in Spanish about how NASA should fund more research for comets and asteroids by more kinds of people, like BIPOC and non-binary scientists, who could have new helpful ideas. Can’t be prouder of her public school education right now.

Really increasingly hard to see how the country in any approximation of what it has been survives unless millions of people turn out in the streets.

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging? Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

the headline is not “trump blames deadly plane crash on DEI” but “trump seizes on deadly plane crash to attack minorities”

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Where do we march?

This tragedy is good reminder of the great work of @nondriver.bsky.social and others to highlight the importance of keeping our sidewalks clear, no matter the weather.

Breaking character: If Democrats are too dumb to pounce on stuff like this, then the party really is broken. ktxs.com/news/local/p...

How dare you use our community to advance your anti-density goals, Alex Fryer and @theseattletimes.bsky.social. The project in the photos clearly isn’t finished so its “less green” is because they haven’t installed the plants.

Listenting to todays @podsaveamerica.crooked.com today and it struck me that @danpfeiffer.bsky.social & @jonfavs.bsky.social spent 50% of the episode giving airtime to Trump’s policies, including playing clips of him, and 0% of the time quoting or airing clips of dems pushing back on Trump.

Super Train is on its way! Maybe.

Thanks to Apple Photos for featuring my most precious memories. I will never forget you, green irrigation box sticking out too high in Redmond. đź’• #landscapearchitecture #memories

@nondriver.bsky.social thanks for sharing this Atlantic piece! Agree with you đź’Ż - food deserts are affecting urban and rural nondrivers alike (right here in South Park). Just a thought, though: what if Robert Pattinson promoted Robinson-Patman?

“And lest we forget, ebikes are fun.” While replacing two cars with one last year hasn’t really put a dent in miles driven (damn roadtrips), our electric bike is definitely replacing plenty of city trips - and is way, way more fun. I love that my friends are doing the same with services like Wombi!
