@galendruke.bsky.social your pod opening re: Thanksgiving is giving Ellen & Dakota Johnson bday party

What’s the countdown to how long it will take for Trump to bring up Muller? 2 days? 5?

It’s done. Reps have it.

2! GOP No votes

Wow. As of now 1 GOP vote of no.

HR 566 debate is over. Now goes to vote.

Jeffries just yielded. Set a new record. Press on.

Because of how they want to interpret birthright citizenship. No matter what any paper says, Mamdani was born in Uganda. They’ll find a way to use this against him.

This wins the Internet today.

It is open comment time (until May 23) for the proposed OPM rule to remove civil servant protections (Schedule F) www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... #ArmchairResistance Please share @altnps.bsky.social @altspaceforce.altgov.info @altfws.altgov.info @altcdc.altgov.info @altfda.altgov.info

Ok. Trump and present El Salvador just said they won’t return the Maryland man who had been wrongly “deported”. SCOTUS in a rare 9-0 consensus said Trump had to. There is debate online on the verbiage of “facilitate” the return of him. How does SCOTUS enforce its ruling? I doubt Marshals will

Shapiro’s residence was set alight by an arsonist?! Good lord.

I’d pay good money to watch the MTv’s Celebrity Deathmatch: Musk vs Zuck

I like dystopian fiction I dislike dystopian reality. Make Dystopia Fiction Again.

Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees — roughly 700,000 union workers This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history

Why Louisiana? Who or what is there that they keep moving these people to Louisiana? A friendly judge? I doubt they plan to let them stand any sort of trial. A port? I doubt they plan to put them on a boat. Have they built a “detention center” or similar there?

My take: they’re exploiting the fact that this wasn’t “war”. No act of war was declared. This wasn’t war, it was a very specific bombing. Technically they’re right: no war was declared. It doesn’t explain why SecDef wrote out tactical minute-by-minute plans in an unsecured app to people that 👇🏻

I have a question for Nazi/German historians: I swear I remembered hearing that Hitler, when he took power, imprisoned members of the German Parliament in a camp. He kept them alive until 1945 when it became clear they were going to lose. I’ve tried looking online and I can’t find their names. 👇🏻

Well…if it’s not classified then here ya go! The Atlantic posted the entire text chain (but still opted to not reveal the CIA agent’s name) apple.news/AsfNHVJN3SFC...

So…have lawsuits been filed yet or are they waiting until tomorrow? I’m assuming it’ll be tomorrow. I’m also assuming “they” saw this coming and were prepared.

oopsie!

But was it inadvertent?!?! He was the first one invited to the chat. The next day everyone else started joining. Part of me wonders if a staffer added him the night before on purpose.

It's the Spring Equinox - the first astronomical day of spring! ☀️ Longer days. Lighter evenings. Sunshine warm on your skin, birds singing, blossom in the branches.

Happy Spring!!! 🌸🐝🍀💐🌱🪻

I follow @garyseconomics.bsky.social but I’d like to read a book on wealth inequality. I’ve never studied economics so I am a beginner. I’m hoping for something not too dry, “inequality for dummies” basically. I see “The Price of Inequality” and “The Economics of Inequality” online. I’m leaning 👇🏻

The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.

Why is Elon’s different? erm71 not his name? WHO not DOGE?

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

When this happens, what’s the next course of action? If the orders aren’t followed do the Marshalls get involved? No doubt this will go to SCOTUS but until then…

@hcrichardson.bsky.social you might have been right in one of your theories, or at least partially

This is giving “The Man”

I hate storms. Loathe them. All thanks to my grandfather. Papa told me when I was very little that “lightning gets you through windows” and of course every bedroom I’ve had has had at least 1 window. I have been terrified of storms ever since. Like crying, begging any hid, any one, to stop it.

Now…will the admin actually follow through? Will the Marshalls have to get involved?

The US Supreme Court has denied Trump‘s bid to cancel nearly $2 billion in USAID spending. The vote is 5-4. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

This sucks. A lot. I’ve listened since nearly the 538 podcast’s inception. It was what felt to be one of the few unbiased news sources on politics and polls data that I’d encountered.

If your version of feminism is merely succeeding within the existing oppressive patriarchal structures, you're doing it wrong. The whole point is to dismantle the patriarchy, not merely weasel your way through it for your own benefit. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

It’s 9PM EDT. I’m watching The Princess and The Frog. How about you?

Instead of watching the speech I’ll be watching The Princess & The Frog.

Apparently the way to get this kitten to cuddle with me 1. Me being sick and, more importantly 2. This blanket

“aligned with workforce needs”. You can kiss the humanities goodbye. Art? Yeah, that’s gone too. Religious studies might stay, especially if it’s Christianity heavy and anti other religions.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

I’m sick and barely able to process stuff atm so bear with me: why would They want to get rid of the Census Bureau?
