My little mess of a darling kitty.

They're dismantling (what remains of) the social safety net and replacing it with a dragnet instead.

This is a MUST READ

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

Approximately a dozen’ Johns Hopkins students have visas revoked by federal government www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/hi...

NBC News: A federal judge just issued a final judgement and permanent injunction against the Trump admin — ruling that the National Institutes of Health must continue funding research grants at their original, full amounts.  @msnbc.com

AOC: “A tremendous mistake… turns the federal government into a slush fund for Trump & Musk and cedes congressional authority… almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free…”

So much at stake if we lose the Department of Education. @5calls.org

Thank you #Nandos. You always take care of our #federalworkers. We see you and your chicken is delicious!

With the Dept of Ed on the line, everyone should watch this doc about what led to the American Disabilities Act - protection our special needs kids can’t afford lose. www.netflix.com/title/81001496

🚨“The government shouldn’t be in the business of firing Veterans and ‘fixing it later.’ I don’t trust that it will.” Marie Harf calls out Trump & Musk for gutting VA jobs while Musk rakes in millions from taxpayers. Cancer research, Veteran jobs, critical programs—slashed, with no plan to fix it.

Stand Up For Science Seattle was a big (~3000+ people, non-chaotic) success! It’s truly amazing what scientists do when we unite together! Thank you @standupforscience.bsky.social leaders, WA co-leads Kristin & Ella, our outstanding organizing team @sufsseattle.bsky.social, & our AMAZING speakers!

What happened to all the art, comedy, and happiness here? How do we get some of it back?

Seems like a pretty important detail

This absolutely broke me. #SlavaUkraine🇺🇦 🧵(1/3)

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

Call your legislators red or blue and let them know what’s on your mind. This is a tool recommended by the Meidas Touch Network who says calling makes politicians cave more than emails. 5calls.org

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

Governor JB Pritzker signs order banning January 6 convicts from State Government Employment.

Welp the J6 pardons just happened.

Popover kind of day. #baking #stress-baking

We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video! Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

My Puerto Rican princess kitty is cold.

My son’s friend hates tomatoes- so he left this on my dashboard. 👀

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.
