Me: *following important presentation*: I should have mentioned X. Y didn’t like what I said. I blew it. My phone: (see pic) Thanks, @chaniapp.bsky.social

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

If I wanted to destroy a nation, I would give it too much and I would have it on its knees, miserable, greedy and sick. ~ Steinbeck

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

This isn't a joke, and we can't treat it as one if we want to avoid being ruled by an actual king/dictator.

in terms of professions that do indeed owe you something, politician is actually one of the big ones

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

I know there are bigger issues in the world but if someone is about to give you a vitamin B injection and tells you it’s “spicy”, reader, you should know that means it will hurt like you are being stung by a series of ever-angrier wasps. You’re welcome.

Kendrick Lamar has 22 Grammies and a damn Pulitzer if you don’t know who he is that’s a You problem

I don’t know much but I do know the richest man in the world isn’t trying to access your financial information in order to help you out.

Oh hey!

Dear media, Once again, I implore you, please stop running photos of that man with your articles and see how it starts to suck the life out of him. Run photos of who he’s harming instead. Elevate them. I am sick of his face and those in harm’s way should be highlighted. Thanks a million!

Today I learned that musk, in may 2024, objected to an SEC subpoena because of the appointments clause. In case anyone was wondering about his views about the president’s power to fire every government attorney. Sec v musk, 2024 US Dist LEXIS 89206

NEVER AGAIN IS RIGHT NOW RIGHT THIS MOMENT

I have the worst flu I have ever had, hands-down, our power is out, and now there is a mosquito harassing me. I realize there are real, legitimate problems in the world (too many, really) but I currently am feeling a bit whingy and wishing for power, restored health, and an end to fascism.

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

Really wish @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov would actually do something about this. We’re the 6th largest economy in the world and Californians have so much at stake and we’re getting milquetoast responses from our elected officials. Glad Senator Kim is out calling attention to this

Hero. We need more people to stand up like this. Also, note that they deleted her earlier email

Okay, I want to say it again for anyone who needs to hear it right now: Yes, calling is better for getting in touch with your reps. But right now? DO IT HOWEVER YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE. I'm really concerned that the emphasis on calling right now is stopping people from getting in touch.

Education Department employees have been placed on leave for attending diversity training. Meanwhile, Republicans have introduced a bill to eliminate the Department of Education.

Can't stress enough how important it is to care for our nervous systems right now and in the days, months and years to come. All of that fear and anxiety will take a toll on us. Take time to breathe, feel it and let it move through you. Even if all you can do is 5-15mins a day, that can do wonders.

@indivisible.org and @moveon.org are having a big call now. If you can’t get on the Zoom, watch along on YouTube. Please make time. I’m currently down with the flu and some pretty bad chills but still rocking my ear buds and trying to follow along ❤️

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

They’re shortselling on our destruction.

The federal government has intense limits on data sharing in order to protect privacy. Sharing IRS tax data to another part of government *requires an act of Congress.* What constraints are being placed on Musk hoovering up people's personal data?

I donated to more than one of these campaigns, even though they don't represent my district, which raises the extraordinary question of whom they represent. Obviously, we've known for some time congress is beholden to its funders, usually corporate interests. BUT.... (cont.)

You are NOT going to disappear our Black friends, family, and history. Boost the bandwidth, y'all.

Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

ok I’ve posted a lot this morning and need to log off soon but if I can leave you with anything it’s this: the dems are not playing 4D chess!! Amy Klobuchar isn’t ramming a car into anything!! I need you to wake the fuck up

This is so great and also I had no idea modern chewing gum had these ingredients 😬 www.dezeen.com/2021/04/20/g...

The entire archive of CDC datasets can be found here. HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻 archive.org/details/2025...

This is outrageous. Why are our elected officials sitting by while this happens? Also, can we PLEASE stop running his photo with these articles. So sick of this man's face and it's not even February

Elon Musk has infiltrated the U.S. Treasury Office to identify ways to cut off funding for various projects, prompting the abrupt retirement of the Treasury official responsible for overseeing the government’s vast payment system.

I spent nearly a decade working for the federal judiciary and my colleagues there were some of the smartest, most dedicated, hardest-working people I have ever had the honor to work with. They showed up every day to an unseen job for not-great pay (comparatively, for lawyers) b/c they believed in it

Per Maddow — Musk likely had the FAA director fired because the FAA grounded SpaceX when his rocket blew up. It rained debris, putting people in danger and causing flights to be redirected. They tried to hold him accountable. He bought Trump, Trump complies. We’re all less safe because of it.

I'm begging a major news org to cover the fact NSF is defying the courts to enact Trump's unconstitutional executive order

I grew up in a military family and saw first-hand a number of commanding officers who had to take responsibility for crashes that happened on their watch, even though they didn't cause it. And they certainly hadn't caused FAA staffing issues and fired the head of it. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

This has carryover into day-to-day litigation as well. When our leaders accept and propound “alternate facts” it gives license to everyone else to do it too, especially when there are no consequences for it. And the question for some people becomes why follow the rules when no one else is

This was posted yesterday morning before the DCA crash. Prescient.

It’s been a long few days. Here’s a beautiful view. May you encounter much beauty and much joy and laughter to see you through

@justsecurity.org does it again. Helping us navigate the litigation landscape. Share widely. www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong, who's part of a suit against the freeze: "I do not for a second believe this threat is over."

Smol tip from an elected. As a general rule we do not like to be on the wrong side of our constituents. Some are absolutely so removed that calls never filter up to them, but the vast majority of even the top level do pay attention when their staff are getting buried in angry calls. It works.

Maybe she was meeting with the same Hezbollah operatives who Trump claimed did January 6, which was a "day of love," so this is all just fine, right?

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify. The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips. Good job, friends.

@schiff.senate.gov's voicemail box is STILL full but keep going CA! Sent a novella via email and will try phoning again later even though I dislike phone calls. (Also, the cynic in me worries about the voicemail being left full - hope it's just a lot of active constituents!)

I called @padilla.senate.gov in CA and told him to oppose RFK, Jr. I also asked him to: -Oppose Nominees until the EO is withddrawn -Reject Unanimous Consent -Vote NO on Cloture -Request Quorum Calls @adamschiff.com's D.C. inbox was FULL (good job, CA!) Will call one of his other offices.
