Hallmark of Trump’s 2nd term: undoing his few good moves from the 1st. First undermining the success of Operation Warp Speed, now he’s targeting GEFTA—the law guaranteeing back pay for furloughed workers. Pure shutdown panic politics. Unions will fight it, but the stress is the point.

does bluesky know about this horror yet? if I have to see it, you have to see it

I still always forget this place exists

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before? That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators. My how times change ...

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists. This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

Republicans must be held accountable for every single person turned away from life-saving healthcare, every hungry child, and every struggling family. We will not let them hide away from this disastrous scam.

Long week! Sometimes we dream of retiring—perhaps to ✍️ erotic federal agency fan fiction 🤔 But until democracy is restored (or at least dewormed), we’re here to stay Sleep well, and we’ll see you Monday And drop your ideas for our #FedFanFic—we probably won’t steal them @altfda.altgov.info 😘💍❓

Cutting ≠ saving

It has been two weeks since a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage, and not one major national outlet has covered the story

SAVE THE PENGUINS. STOP TRUMP’S TARIFFS.

Oh my god, RKF Jr.’s nonprofit is directly funding this measles outbreak! Literally paying for free quack prophylaxis to lure people without measles to stand in line next to people with actively and highly contagious infections www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/h... (🎁 🔗)

Holy 💩!

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Hundreds of protesters gathered in Waitsfield on Saturday morning to protest Vice President JD Vance, who is visiting Vermont with his family for a ski trip this weekend.

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” ― Elie Wiesel

Just saying.

You first.

Bobby Orr, who publicly supports Donald Trump, wrote a little op-ed shaming people for criticizing Wayne Gretzky’s support of Trump. Fuck ‘em both. Being great at hockey doesn’t automatically make you a great Canadian. You’ve abandoned your people and rationality. Enjoy your legacy burning.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

yeah, it's not the regular old federal employees just trying to do their jobs that are "increasingly viewed as villains" 🙄

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Your weather app gets its info because of NOAA. Your mail arrives at your home because of USPS. Your plane navigates the skies because of the FAA. Your food is safer -- and we get alerts when it isn't -- because of USDA. You hear about earthquakes *worldwide* because of USGS.

the level of upside down we’re in that i’m glad that motherfucking canada won at hockey, shit

Quick question Susan: does the President “typically” declare himself a king and repeatedly announce that he’ll be violating the law

NEW: Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

I shall not speak

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Hey just a question for the other frogs out there Is it getting warmer in this pot? It feels like maybe it’s getting warmer in this pot

Finally a chris kreider mention it's been 84 years

Am I the only one that thinks the fighting is lame/absolutely ridiculous? 🙄

Dear federal scientists: If you have been affected by the probationary firings and would be willing to speak with Science, please reach out to me by email ([email protected]) or on Signal. We can guarantee annonymity.

Hi, my name is 4 Nations Hockey Player. I haven't read a history book since 8th grade. I don't think an international tournament should be political. Also, my favorite movie is Miracle.

I think attitudes towards government employees are a bit like attitudes towards race and religion and sexuality. Plenty of people are unregenerate bigots in the abstract but have That One Black Friend who They Don’t Think of As Black. There are exceptions in the particular, unreconciled. /1

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

"Red, White, and Blueland" should become shorthand for an idea so stupid that even when you verify its accuracy you cannot believe it.

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

It's time 😏
