celebrate every victory, and this isn’t a small one.

Doomscrollling break 😍💚💚💚

i’m not really the praying sort, but i’ll add any good energy i may have to this prayer

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

this is exactly what broke my trust in any organized religion. i saw this happening daily.

i will feel physical pain soon when my daily meds are rejected by insurance through some loophole because they suddenly doubled in price

We would like to add that because they circumvented our servers and used their own (and cowardly did this at midnight), NONE of us knew what was happening.

Grab them by their bottom lines!

every disease contained, disaster mitigated, and treatment distributed, creates a buffer around us. not just fewer chances for us to be affected, but of goodwill and trust. decades of effort, all out the window. trust betrayed takes longer to build back than it took to establish. as it should.

I think about this headline all of the time.

2. ECONOMIC BLACKOUT. We support the economic boycott occurring this Friday, Feb. 28, of any entity that has dismantled their DEI programs and pandered to this administration. The buck will stop with us!

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. GOP leadership is now advising lawmakers to avoid holding in person town halls. Keep up the fight.

I think I speak for a lot of us when I say *exasperatedly long sigh, throwing arms up in frustration, smacking palm against forehead*

If you're looking for details for your calls, House Dems produced this tool where you can how many people in your district are at risk of losing jobs, health care, and food on the table from the House GOP budget. "For the sake of the X people in CA-54 who will lose their Medicaid, please vote no."

I wrote a post about the Klan 100 years ago and how the grip they held on the US seemed impossible to break, but people fought them anyway. And it’s been read by tens of thousands of you (!!!). I guess people want stories of hope right now. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

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

MUSK LOSES BIG IN GERMANY Germany’s CDU/CSU wins big, while the far-right AfD underperforms in second—despite backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance. AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

I want to ask my 25 white Christian cousins if this is what they voted for but I’m kind of afraid of their answers

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Living through historic times totally fucking sucks.

You can’t fucking change congressionally passed laws by EO and people should start standing up and saying so

the threat we’re facing is unlike anything we’ve faced before and to overcome it, every gd one of us is going to have to SPITEFULLY embrace ALL the goodness, ALL the joy, ALL the hope, none of us can afford to sit this fight out, it’s all hands now, go be the voice of love and reason and do it TODAY

As Musk's wrecking ball continues to decimate our federal workforce don't forget about some Bluesky #AltGov resources: * Starter pack with all the verified #AltGov accounts: go.bsky.app/FLUwv5d * Feed with posts & reposts from the #AltGov accounts: bit.ly/4hNBzl8 * #AltGov labeler: bit.ly/4gUZxd1

i’ve informed my spouse this is how i will be communicating from now on. he suggested i also mix in some hyper-pirate.

remember how during lockdown, we declared 7pm was “we all scream out our windows all at once” time can we bring that back, I am getting really tired holding all this screaming in my heart

We are calling for impeachment—America has no kings.

Most people don’t realize the value of the services they rely on until they’re gone.

We are proud to stand alongside you. The rebellion is alive. You are writing history.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

Biggest day 1 in the 18-year history of @projectforawesome.bsky.social. We've already raised $1,930,000 and we have 40 hours to go! projectforawesome.com/live

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t the billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts, but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

The Project for Awesome officially kicks off in around 14 hours. But we have ALREADY raised over $500,000 for organizations like Partners in Health and Save the Children. Want the first few chapters of my next book? Or lots of other stuff? Donate here: projectforawesome.com/donate

It is not "efficient" to operate a hospital in a town of 3,900 people in a county of 8,500 people across 9,000 square miles. It is not "efficient" to provide emergency medical services in the most isolated national park in the Lower 48. But people's lives depend on those "inefficiencies."

You might not rest on your laurels, but it's good to see you're basking in the warm glow of your achievements. 🙂

gonna start a good news thread 🙂 bsky.app/profile/arst...

NASA workers were told to "drop everything" and spend their time scrubbing mentions of women in leadership, indigenous people, and environmental justice from the web: www.404media.co/nasa-dei-dro...

The thing about letting things burn up in the atmosphere is that they're still *there* -- just in gas form instead of solid. So like sure it doesn't hit you on the head (good!) but it might mess with the chemistry of the atmosphere (real bad!) and/or become stuff that you breathe (not great either!)

Government is like vaccines—taken for granted until people start dying without it.

it’s a particularly great time to support good science education!

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.
