I keep confusing Pete Hegseth with Pete Davidson, which honestly would make sense since clearly this is a spoof of a government.

Musk has placed the entire staff of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) on administrative leave.

Kudos to Maryland Senator Van Hollen. Lead on Senator!

What's your role in social change? There are many roles to fill in addition to protests and donating.

It's not easy being green.

Senator Booker's filabuster is at 21 hours and ongoing. Powerhouse. Tune in and see it in real time. www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

A witch hunt is underway by the Trump administration. They’re “sick of our sh**.” Please review and follow the released guidance immediately. We know many in our coalition are out in the field today—do your best to reach them.

Time to make rally signs! What are some great slogans, poem lines, or other ideas for my sign? Over a 1000 locations on April 5.

My cats made a collective bargaining agreement. They walked over to mostly empty food bowls at the same time and are trying to empty them before I leave.

I’m seeing a lot of negative reviews on games along the lines of “this isn’t exactly what I wanted, even though it was exactly what was promised”. I can’t overstate how much more joy you will have if you allow art to unfurl in front of you, instead of demanding it be what you imagine you want.

in case anyone was wondering, Hulu dropped a post-apocalyptic rock opera starring Sadie Sink and Kelvin Harrison Jr today, with absolutely no advertising (despite me actively seeking out information on it and keeping an eye out for its release). you know, like streaming services like to do

Anti-Muskrat sign posted in NYC. Bravo.

Hey google: what's the best flag for burning?

Hearing the Phantom of the Opera (character) referred to as a "demon-fueled turbo stalker" was an unexpected delight at Intercon.

I also called my rep and senators to tell them NOT to attend Trump's Tuesday speech unless they're going to protest it in real time. No common courtesy for authoritarians. Feel free to call your own reps if you agree. You can find them here: reps.fyi

After we published a public audit on Saturday, Elon Musk’s DOGE deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts,” wiping out an additional $4 billion in so-called savings that the group had claimed to secure for U.S. taxpayers.

For Fed friends re:the email -CCing your supervisor generates data that could be aggregated to map the entire command structure. Instead, forward them your reply afterward as a separate email as an improved OPSEC practice. -You can generate bland, corporate sounding bullet points at opmreply.com

Thank you, everyone! Trump’s staff purge at USAID prompted well-wishers to greet terminated workers at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington. Dismissed employees were allotted 15 minutes to collect their personal belongings.

On the train somewhere in Connecticut or RI and I just saw a swan swimming serenely on a stream. I don't know why, but that strikes me as a little bit magical.

Intercon Babes (yes, all of you), I'll see you this afternoon!!!

Question of the night: 1. Can you give someone an underdog on a s3x swing? 2. Double-underdog dare you.

I started writing characters for a potential M*A*S*H larp and actually makes me like Frank Burns a little. Dammit ferret face.

For reasons I reread the Soul-haunting Dick larp tonight and had a good chuckle. The footnotes are pure gold.

Did I start writing a M*A*S*H parlor larp well after bedtime last night? Absolutely. How to capture the wild swings from tragic to irrelevant is going to be a trick, but i did come up with an OR mechanic.

hot take: within a few years, many currently prestigious colleges and universities that have caved to Trump's mandates will become second or third rate institutions that folks will realize absolutely aren't worth the money. they're destroying their credibility, educational mandate, and legacy.

My act of community and resistance today: i got my library card! Do you have yours? What is something wonderful and surprising your library offers you as a resource?

The Wikimedia Foundation is rolling out features to protect its editors in authoritarian countries more widely because the United States is now one such country.

Leftist organizers are asking representatives to WITHHOLD THEIR VOTE in congress until the constitutional crisis is over. About 20 committed to doing so at the CFPB rally in DC tonight. Call your reps and demand they throw the brakes on the nation. Legislate, litigate, agitate!

We are melting phone lines. GOP senator Lisa Murkowski admits call volume to Congress is 40 times above normal. The Senate will vote on Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination this week, and we could also see votes on Robert Kennedy Jr. & Kash Patel. Keep calling your senators: www.nixthenoms.com?source=bluesky

If you want to find fraud and track money you hire forensic accountants.

TODAY: We’re rallying at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with Sen. Warren and Rep. Waters to fight back against Elon Musk. Musk is trying to kill the CFPB, which Americans rely on to protect against corporate exploitation and bank fraud. Join us if you're in DC: www.mobilize.us/indi...

Don't make us tap the sign. 👇

The CFPB was dismantled over the weekend, with all activities suspended, its funding reduced to zero, and its headquarters temporarily closed—removing a crucial layer of oversight for consumer-facing financial companies. Staff members ordered to cease all ‘supervision and examination activities.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear this year's Super Bowl is being sponsored by Tootsie Roll Pops. Clearly that's how many LIX it takes.

Im watching through my old comfort show law & order and am delighted by all the cameo actors. Today's 1992 episode features Gloria Foster (the Oracle from The Matrix) and Eric Bogosian (interviewer from the new Interview with the Vampire). They both have wonderful voices!

Did you know that plan b can be purchased with fsa and hsa funds and has a 4 year shelf life when stored as directed?

Verizon auto pay customers: my autopay discount had an "error" reducing it from $10 to $5/month. Of course if you don't notice it will just auto pay the higher amount. But 10 minutes in a service chat means I'm not paying $60 more this year for no reason. Chat screen shots below.

Call your senators and demand they do all of this. Shut down the Senate. And follow @indivisible.org. They get it. Find your senator here: www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

There is no money in the budget to payout 7 months of severance for any of the 2M executive branch fed employees. Congress holds the purse strings. Do not volunteer for this. If you resign voluntarily, you have no recourse.

Don't comply, and especially don't preemptively comply. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say, ‘No, you move.' – Captain America: Civil War

Just arrived at MagFest! Heading to badge pickup then magnolia to chill with larp friends. If you see me, please say hi and remindme if your name just in case! I have a lavender mask and my green emerald city vest on.
