We really are living in one giant SNL sketch

This Stars game may be the end of me

Sitting at the Nowitzki bar in DFW...sad we'll never get a Doncic bar now 🥺

Alright, who's got the TLDR on those JFK files?

I'll be back in DFW for the first Lakers at Mavs game since the trade...should I go?

Between the FAA/Verizon/Starlink contract news and today's NOAA and NWS firings, remember: the privatization is the point (or one of the main ones). This is about enriching the few, not creating efficiency for the many.

If you love public lands and national parks, here's a link: action.outdooralliance.org/a/agency-sta...

Here is the reality of Donald Trump and Elon Musk's layoffs: immediate reductions to national park visitor services. We cannot serve people without people. Nobody wants an AI robot giving a cave tour.

We as a country will save nothing. Federal employee salaries make up just 4% of the budget—roughly $271 billion. So even if every federal worker were fired, that’s the maximum you’d save. Meanwhile, the U.S. House GOP has released a budget that raises the debt limit by $4 trillion.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t the billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts, but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

Haha love this

Without public knowledge, Elon Musk is serving as a “special government employee” under President Donald Trump, with access to sensitive information (including your SSN) and broad authority granted by Trump.

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.

As if this week hasn't been bad enough

I am unwell

This also applies to other agencies as well. For example, U.S. fish and Wildlife is also not able to advocate for budget. But partners, the public, NGOs etc. can petition congress.

The Trump administration warned federal employees of “adverse consequences” for not reporting colleagues resisting orders to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, giving a 10-day deadline to report via a special email account.

I just watched Dwight Powell shoot and make a 3 in person. Season made

Tis the season

Daaaamn. These 3s!

Just a few fireflies in Smoky Mountain National Park, TN. These are synchronous fireflies and the males flash their lanterns in bursts of light that look like waves through the forest. Then they all go dark at once, watching for females to flash back. #ArtAdventCalendar (Photinus carolinus)

This is the same half time act from the Mavs game in Utah

What can government scientists do now to minimize the damage that’s coming over the next four years, and what can we do to help them? I spoke to several experts to write this story for The Revelator Please share widely. 🧪🌎 therevelator.org/scientists-m...
