Anonymous has hacked all Kremlin servers. Anonymous is applying its own digital sanctions on Russia. We demand they surrender and fully leave all Ukrainian territory. #OpRussia

#Wordle 1,589 4/6 ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛🤔 ⬛🟩🟩⬛🟩🧐 ⬛🟩🟩⬛🟩🧐 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩😀 Been offline today. It's quite nice, but there's always that itching in the back of my brain wondering what new heinousness is happening in the halls of Trumpfuckistan. Nope. No doom scrolling today. 🤞

That’s no ballroom…

I think we're all feeling this these days.

Perfect metaphor.

Window shopping for the Washington state health care marketplace has begun, which means you can see your new 2026 premiums. If your premiums have increased because of the Republican health care crisis, please share your story with me: iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/E...

Reminder that the new influx of pro-MAGA troll farm accounts are being ran by TPUSA operatives. It is a mix of bots and college students managing different accounts, modeled after Israel's Hasbara propaganda program.

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

Oh my gawd. I should be playing buzz word bingo.

#Wordle 1,587 3/6 🟩🟩⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Used a different starter word today. Looks like it helped. I'm sitting here at 0505 waiting for a Teams meeting to start. If you're going to make me get up this early for a meeting, the least you could do is start on time.

We’ve now had 2 No Kings protests with tens of thousands of Washingtonians making their voices heard, peacefully. We’re looking out for each other and handling our own public safety in Washington state. We do not need or want the president to militarize our streets.

JD Vance isn't like the school bully. He's like the school bully's flunky sidekick, who cheers on the bully when he beats up the poor kid. If this was the Little Rascals, Trump would be Butch & JD would be Woim.

Any American Cattle Ranchers out there? Care to chime in on this?

I posted this in the evening yesterday but want to make sure people see it today.

#Wordle 1,586 5/6 🟩🟩⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Was getting a little worried there.

Civilian is a legal term, learn it and use it. It’s not pick your own language.

Stop calling them immigrants, protestors, or activists. Refer to them as civilians. Take control of the language and defuse their narrative. #3E

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

I recommend that everyone review this. What this all basically means (and yes they are still posting this) is that POTUS can't just bring in bull dozers and start massive changes to the building. There's a process to do this, which shockingly Trump didn't bother to follow.

#Wordle 1,585 4/6 ⬛⬛🟩🟨⬛ ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Woke up at 0230 and couldn't get back to sleep. Today is going to suck. Yay!

Tariffs making everything more expensive, Republicans shutting down the government, health care premiums set to skyrocket, demolishing the rule of law, a hateful mass deportation agenda. This picture really sums up the last 9 months of the Trump presidency.

This. Mother. Fucker!

Even tho I know bot farms are a thing, seeing it like this is horrifying. Fuck those guys. Thank you, Europol.

is that a straight up time traveler like what are we doing here

#Wordle 1,584 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟨🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟨⬛🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 This one took a lot of staring.

‘The exceptionally limited edition book.’ (My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books)

Republican leaders need to stop hiding from their constituents, from the health care crisis they’re causing, and from the negotiating table.    The clock is not just ticking—the alarm is going off. We need to act now, before these premium hikes become unavoidable.

Tea boxes, recipe boxes, stash boxes, humidors, OH MY!😆 Handcrafted stuff JUST FOR YOU! From me. Because you guys ROCK!👍 7522.photography/woodworking/

This is the biggest single day protest in US history. Millions upon millions of people across the United States reject the Trump regime and fascism. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

Today in Kent, Ohio. Yes, THAT Kent. A psycho Trumper charged into the No Kings rally, throwing punches, assaulted a woman. He was armed. The crowd tackled him. I considered going to Kent for the protest. It's an hour drive for me. Went to downtown Cleveland instead.

No Kings Denver speaker Joe Salazar (fmr Dem state rep) tells me they estimate 25-30k gathered in Denver today, similar to the No Kings protest earlier this year. This view is from photographer Cheney Orr for the New York Times. #copolitics

Shout out to the top 5 kings in the world, Martin Luther, Larry, Don, Stephen and Americans don't have a motherfuckin'.

This is a very good point about DHS. They direct harassment campaigns on Twitter using quote-tweets.

This video of the "ICE" agent [?] with no ID, who thinks claiming to be in the DHS means he's allowed to drive his kids around drunk answers two questions: 1. Many ICE agents probably *are* just cosplaying vigilantes with issues; and 2. Many think claiming to be ICE means they can disobey laws.

#Wordle 1,581 3/6 🟨⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟨⬛🟩⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Happy weekend, everyone. May all of us have a very protest-y #NoKingsDay!
