"Cuz youuu make me feel, so brand neeew!" Jokes aside, some of y'all in the HoR need to find this energy.

"Cutting Social Security is a negotiating tactic with sick, poor, old people and bootstrap companies..." -Braysin Braying

What's happening is a fascist coup.

You don't need, X. People with worthwhile takes are cross-platformed. Tesla is still making Elon Musk rich, and it's still helping him do things that make this planet audits environment worse. When you buy a Tesla, you support DOGE. You may not in sentiment, but you with what counts, your money.

You didn't want to punch Nazis because 'both sides'. In truth? For other disowned ugly reasons, you chose complacency. Now, we gotta punch a bunch. It will likely be past uncomfortable and even impolite. But as we go, let's not forget who the Nazis learned it from.

Why would he care about Black and brown death, given all he is scion to? I am weeping inside, but I will not eat these ashes. People were told. Information is available. The brain is a muscle. So is the heart.

Dear people who think they are temporarily embarrassed millionaires, and this won't impact them. Social Security recipients buy goods and services that help keep those businesses profitable. And since so many live in economic precarity, the benefit pretty much goes right back into the economy.

So this...man...has effectively raised the cost of any food imported from China 10 percent, while making it harder to find agricultural workers domestically. He either doesn't understand the economy or doesn't care about his voters. Cynical me: ¿Porquè no dos?

Governor Janet Mills giving a little lesson in patriotism.

Journalists, are you going to do your actual jobs and try to report on the ways Trump is compromised, or just hope us noobs find the time between runaway inflation and decreasing civil liberties?

www.google.com/amp/s/www.ti... Azalea Banks is so messy for this! 😄😄😆 I love the First Amendment.

Apparently it's pro-life to sweep infant mortality under the rug...

Remember, America, the only color in this country that really matters, is green.

Private enterprises are the most wasteful organizations around. Silicon Valley has proven itself to be rather shit at innovations that actually count (self-driving cars, comprehensive blood tests). But "trust us, bruh."

Finally moved into the new place with Panda Cat. It was 100% the PITA only moving can be. It's also a great entry into the discussion of convenience, consumption and cost of living. More on that after I escape the fortress of boxes of stuff that was not the party hangout I hoped.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Space always makes me feel hopeful. No one's getting out of here alive. There's no other planet, a hop, skip, and a jump away. We've every incentive to make this work for everyone. We can.

White allies, I have some a request of you for Black History Month. Ask your white relatives, you know the ones, why the things that seem radical on OAN are in our Constitution? Don't do it to 'gotcha.' Make them think through their reasoning. Adjust as other intersectionalities demand.

What Are Elon's interest in and antipathy with the US Dept. of Education, US Dept. of Labor, National Institutes of Health, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS...the federal regulator that brought down Theranos), and the Social Security Admin?

I am with @repjasmine.bsky.social! Get them on the record with the bullshit. Call out the hypocrisy and grifting in real time. Make sure it's ALL gif-able.

We are the ones we've been waiting for. ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🫱🏻‍🫲🏿🫶🏽

@skatej.bsky.social @stephenkinglvr666.bsky.social I am whelmed to see this but also it's not even a bare minimum. It's a scant minimum. A scandalously exposed minimum.

Another thing for the courts to decide? DOGE could die by 10000 lawsuits if they force SCOTUS and conservative appointees to reverse themselves. Force the constitutional crisis that pits the broligarchy against the evangelicals. Wash rinse repeat.

I feel like @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social understands the assignment better than some of his more...august colleagues.

Since we're talking about the power consolidation in language, the way Zucc talked about Meta being "neutered." By what? Mild content moderation? PR bullshit commitment to the truth? These skeletal boundaries were the slash of a veterinarian's scalpel. Such is the ineffable fragility of these men.

@subarugigi.bsky.social Here's to guarding a thin, passive-aggressive, cursive, red line. 🫶🏽

Hello, true patriots! What would you do if you had Elon's coin for 1 year! @kafkawouldrather.bsky.social I tag you first! Elon's coins, as of now are worth about $420,000,000,000.00. Or roughly 40 trillion pennies. #WWECD

As bleak as things are, I feel so grateful for my life, my liberty, and my pursuit of happiness. And my deep knowing, borne of true patriotism, that none of it need come at the cost of someone else's. Let's regroup. Let's have difficult talks. Things can change or evolve. It's up to us.

The only color that matters in this country is green. Start taking your power back! #boycotts

You can't 'no-homo' and dick-ride at the same ti- Welp. I stand corrected.

He deleted his post but I still agree.

Give 'em Hell, @amyklobuchar.com! Or just like really involved recaps of RHONY. I am bemused by the idea of making these misogynists sit through a description of Scary Island from a powerful woman using the very tool they've utilized so often to slow progress.

For the love of God, can we stop calling these men: Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farrito, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kilger, and Ethan Shaotran. "kids". 25 is not a kid. 25 is more than old enough to know better. Minimizing their culpability with words does the oppressors' work. Stop!

Just got a call from a very nice young man with the @dncstaffunion.bsky.social 1. Mis-pronounced my name. 2. Couldn't even complete the ask after I asked, "are y'all really about to ask ME for money." 3. I am glad this is an environment where you all feel free to fail.

Thank you @notyournegro.bsky.social For reposting. It's important not to get caught up in outrage cycles. Go to 50501 protests. Get connected to your local mutual aid. 1/

I know a lot of us can't just delete X or Meta-platforms without a day or two of inconvenience. But be inconvenienced. I think we should aim to delete on the same day. Mass deletions are what hurts the bottom line.

Until you can answer this question, I move The 92Percent not help. Same with people who were willing to lose reproductive rights for others over Gaza. You are not entitled to our solidarity. This is (one of) the consequences of your vote/non vote.

With love and light Alan...what the fuck did you think this was? 🤷🏾😡 I can't "help everyone no matter what" until I see collective discourse answering this question. Why did these people believe this man? This attitude of "you never told me dolly's hair won't grow back" is infuriating AF.

🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 The Trump Clarity Statement Hello, friend. I am sending you this because I was going to share/partake in Trump's deflection and spend more time in the outrage economy. Instead, I am going to pause, breathe, and remind us of three important things: 1/

More concerning news. Pages related to: HIV, MPOX, abortion, maternal mortality, LGBTQ youth. What can we do? For right now, sharing is what I can do on this first day of Black History Month. And check out this excellent Substack. I will write more about this, but I gotta capitalism today.

@bsky.app Bluesky posts should be called flutters. The icon is a butterfly. Decentralized power, chaos theory, the ripple effect of a single action. Plus when something went viral you could say Bluesky was 'aflutter.'

"Heads, she dies. Tails, we kill her." To be a feminist is to know that even if you don't fully understand transgender struggle, the patriarchal coin flip certainly looks the similar for transwomen who won't carry water for it.

Let's not, when causes are this obvious, allow President Trump, his apparatus of lies and cowardly compliance (I'm looking at you legacy media), gaslight us. This comes back to Trump. It's why he's racist dogwhistling about DEI in the aftermath of tragedy. Deflecting from his culpability.

"Was there something wrong with how I said it? You had to go make up your own sayin'?" Jo Bennett, The Office If you can only understand this analogy when a man says it, but not when a woman does, you are also a boot on the neck.

Bet. Show us how we can drag our feet, bb. Teach us how to maliciously comply.
