It might be the dumbest of Trump's dumb ideas.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Dear Elon: The Tesla customer base skews left, and the right is anti-EV. Good luck finding customers now. No love, Sue

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

I don't believe in Hell, but if I did I would die happy knowing there was a special seating section for anyone currently railing against "the sin of empathy," and every one of those seats is made with hot rusty barbs

Ah, that lovely time of the year when the #cat turns into a Van de Graaf generator. My fingers are getting continuously zapped as I skritch her, and I can feel my hair standing up.

Wow. Talk about a crowning moment of awesome.

Post a female character you love.

The GOP is spending tens of millions of dollars on a campaign to make others afraid of less than 1% of the population. This is a distraction. This is scapegoating and evil. Love one another. ✌️ #Resist #BeKind #TakeNoShit 🏳️‍⚧️❤️ usafacts.org/articles/wha...

Yep. Preemptive compliance is not going to work here folks. They are not going to stop, and no matter what you do, it will never be enough.

Booing another country’s anthem is disrespectful but so is THREATENING TO ANNEX YOUR NEIGHBOURS. Even hockey bros should be able parse this equation. Keep booing Montreal.

Yep.

Cutting the Epidemic Intelligence Service right as bird flu is starting to become a threat may turn out to have been an even worse thing. They're both terrible. (Cutting the EIS right as I'm (re-)reading @seananmcguire.bsky.social's Newsflesh series is particularly scary timing.)

This:

The stunning Indigenous Canada flag created by Kwakwaka'wakw artist Curtis Wilson. His design for the flag is meant to represent First Nations in Canada to the public. In reflection, with gratitude and humility 🙏.

Now, this is some gooey, chocolaty trolling! MoonPies for all!

Well, if "kant" is a problem for the BBC, she could change it to "serving Conte".... #eurovision

Ford won’t protect Ontario from Trump, and will threaten minority rights

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

It's not unreasonable to expect a minority opposition party to go down fighting! When normies don't see Dems going to the mattresses they assume the situation can't be *that* bad. If it were, someone would do something. Right? But these skittish millionaires aren't exactly rising to the damn moment.

Political scientists, this you?

I start wanting to scream out loud every time I talk about this. Among white men in positions of power, SO MANY are lazy, mediocre nepo babies, from assistant managers of car dealerships all the way up to the cabinet.

So, this could all change dramatically if Carney actually becomes leader, but: a. This is a nightmare scenario for the NDP. b. A statistical tie favors the Liberals because of all the surplus Conservative votes in the west. c. Which could encourage everyone to cool the early election talk.

If they're trying to ban gender-affirming care for minors, that'll also prohibit Intersex Genital Mutilation, right? ...and if they're trying to ban it for adults, that means that Viagara, hair plugs, and Swedish Penis Enhancers will be similarly illegal?

What's sauce for the goose with a potato in its mouth....

Find a save point and save my game!

BREAKING: In response to doctors' lawsuit, Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, orders CDC, NIH, and FDA to put back up websites and datasets cited by the doctors in their lawsuit as having been relied upon and pulled down without notice. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Google removing Black History month from their calendars WHILE we’re in the midst of Black History Month is vile behavior. They also removed Pride Month.

The Department of Defense just canceled all gender-affirming care. For adults. For soldiers. For patriots. It was never just about kids. It was never just about sports. It’s always been about eliminating trans people entirely. The casual cruelty is just breath-taking.

#FestividsRecs: Do you like Murderbot? If so, click over to Next Chapter by mithborien right now, you will NOT regret it! This is such a fantastically creative vid - now with an entire chapter on what went into making it! I am filled with awe, and also delight!! archiveofourown.org/works/621009...

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Great job by Ruben (@rubenbolling.bsky.social).

Important PSA: Democrats have a chance to take back control of The House within 90 days. 3 seats are up for grabs in upcoming Special Elections. 2 seats in Florida: April 1st If Dems win both: 217-217 House 1 seat in New York (TBD when) If Dems win all 3 seats 21&-217 Dems Need To Show 🗳️
