OK, mine is #Severence but @juliusgoat.bsky.social’s is a close second.

Perhaps my favorite sign from the many protests and rallies we’ve seen in #NY17: A mock check from Elon Musk to Mike Lawler for $1,727,639, the amount of money Elon spent to get Lawler re-elected…and thus the amount of money Elon spent to buy Lawler’s vote.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Normalize calling Republicans Nazis.

A once-great, now-rotted-out ship called the United States is being sunk by the United States because nothing else can be done with it. This is not a metaphor. I mean, not ONLY a metaphor. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

Gov. Hochul: "Think about this next time you're stuck in traffic." www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhFl...

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s response: “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. The MTA has initiated legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York to preserve this critical program. We’ll see you in court.”

Honest question for Elon: What explanation would you like me to give my constituents who rely on this program? Or the other 9/11 families? Because I'm about to get in my car and drive wherever the hell you are right now to find out myself. This makes me sick.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

RIP to Marc Molinaro’s #ThinkDifferently campaign. He lost #NY19 but cozied up to trump/musk, told his share of maga lies & got his subservient good boy reward of a job with this corrupt administration. Kids with disabilities are just collateral damage.

I know Stathis. He was a colleague of mine at the University of Chicago. He is a pretty buttoned-down scholar. For him to tweet this out is… something.

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

This character, a "German time traveler" from 1933, started posting on Twitter a month before the 2016 election, and has posted 68 times since then, most recently last December. Here are some of their posts.

Hegseth had his first real test on the world stage yesterday.  It went about as well as his axe throwing career.

@timesunion.com has an interesting Hudson Valley dining guide. Lots of the usual suspects and some intriguing new. 🎁 link. www.timesunion.com/projects/hud...

To be clear, it's not a mistake that grants to train special ed teachers were cancelled. MAGA absolutely considers those to be verboten "DEI," and Silicon Valley considers them contrary to their eugenics project.

At some point, do Musk et al get arrested for breaking state laws? Is that in the weird constitutional crisis cards?

Why they really shuttered CFPB paulkrugman.substack.com/p/springtime...

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.
