One billionaire got $200 million of US taxpayer dollars to his investment in Argentina.

We will need to tell our own stories and share our own data. On whatever platform we can, especially where our friends and neighbors get their information.

Let's see what Carr has to say. I don't expect much to come from it

Such a small, temporary victory, but I'll take it. And use it as momentum.

The government shutdown is a continuation of DOGE.

What I fully don't understand is that the leadership of Hamas is in Qatar. Is Trump protecting Hamas? Is that what's going on now?

Great title.

Happy LGBTQ History Month, lovelies! And we are CERTAINLY living through history right now, aren't we?

If/how you can, go see "I Was Born This Way", an amazing biography of Archbishop Carl Bean, who went from Motown to founding a major church movement....while also inspiring Lady Gaga.

“I Was Born This Way,” is the powerful story of late singer, activist, and LGBTQ-affirming religious leader Archbishop Carl Bean, which kicked off Atlanta’s Out On Film festival, becoming a rare exception for a documentary to lead the world renowned festival. glaad.org/out-on-film-...

Really important reading. We can still assert our freedoms

Even with everything going on, make sure you look at some art.

Exciting news! The second @propublica.org metro ad on @wmata.com has been spotted in the wild on a metro car! There are thousands of federal staffers with stories to tell. Share yours. propublica.org/tips

I just read, via the @minnesotareformer.com that DOJ litigation is also halted during a government shutdown.

BREAKING: Supreme Court will allow Lisa Cook to remain on federal reserve board for now, ruling that the government’s application for a stay is deferred pending oral argument in January 2026

We need more LGBTQ storytellers and journalists. And they need to make a living! @advocate.com is helping with that. Share this with your network.

The suspect in a NC mass shooting was an anti-LGBTQ conspiracy theorist.

AI will make electricity bills go up. Start building for cheap renewable energy now.

"The U.S. has definitely shot itself in the foot on H-1Bs, and the timing is exquisite for China's K visa,” said Michael Feller, chief strategist at Geopolitical Strategy.

Officials believe recent moves by Russia’s ally Belarus to apparently encourage thousands of migrants to cross into EU countries is part of that hybrid warfare: An attempt to seed a humanitarian crisis in the bloc.

Would you use a mushroom toilet?

Spreading the money around to where it will help the most.

Cricket chirping can actually serve as a natural thermometer. Crickets are cold-blooded, so their muscles move slower in cooler temperatures. When it's warm, they rub their wings faster to produce that familiar “chirping” sound. The faster the chirps, the warmer it is.

Some great news. I'm so excited for a reboot of Reading Rainbow. If we promote it, we can continue to inspire kids to read and explore amazing stories.

Bad Bunny is one of the most popular musical stars on Earth. He holds the record for most-streamed album on Spotify of all time, and his concert ticket prices this year were the second-highest among all artists.

Blessed shutdown, lovelies! This is going to cause so much pain for many people, and we should never take it lightly. But we can't continue to allow this government to use the tools designed to help us to actually harm us.

Looks like that work y'all are doing online to correct misinformation is helping!

The generals do not look happy to be there at all.

LOLOLOLOLOL I initially misread that as "Antifa has reportedly forfeited more than $37 million..." That is NOT what it says.

It's amazing what we have money for, and what we don't have money for.

Matthew 5:21 "Thou shalt not kill."

I didn't really to be secretary of defence, but if I were, I'd want the people most qualified and best at their jobs. I don't want people on the military based on how they look.

1000% this can NOT go back to singing kumbaya

Thank goodness they are safe!

Welcome older evangelical lesbians!

Federal workers, those must impacted by a government shutdown, say "go ahead" because they've been under assault all year long.

Frustrating capitalism capitulation.

Good point. We could actually be safer, potentially

This is some real Nazi shit here

The right continues to be violent. Don't believe their fake claims. They want to be able to commit violence without restraint. Protect yourself, friends.

Patient privacy. Family privacy. Parental rights. Get Trump and Bondi out of our doctor offices!

"I’m optimistic, not because things are better than they look, but because things have reached the point where we will have to fashion something entirely new." I agree with this statement by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social. We aren't going back, we can only imagine a way forward.

Leave it to the French to take down Candice Owens.

Happy continuing resolution day lovelies!

Get the payment in advance!

I don't want a shutdown for the sake of a shutdown. I want a shutdown to halt the extremist and immoral actions this government has taken against its people and the planet.

Hmmm, so a government shutdown would prevent a jobs report from being released, when Trump doesn't like the previous job reports and did everything in his power to manipulate them.
