Special delivery for @futuretime.bsky.social - a couple pages from this odd little group of roadside bought books of great depression stories and recipes. 🍜

Stephen Colbert is the winner here - he'll be leaving with his brilliant talent, integrity, and self respect - and his wife Evie and kids by his side. He's genuinely a generational talent and a hero with more courage than the entire GOP.

Anything on MSM? (Crickets)

Keep an eye out this weekend for outside agitators like the Proud Boys showing up at the No Kings Protests! They will try to incite violence and blame it on the left as they did during the George Floyd protests.

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba: "Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

“but above all, he’s utterly unaware of just how easily manipulated he is. flatter him, hand him a few shiny baubles, and this bottomless pit of neediness becomes putty in your hands — and all We the People can do is cringe as we watch this buffoon being led around by his nose..” -Tiedrich

Meanwhile, the real disruption is the government ramming through yet another controversial bill that tramples on Indigenous rights, but that gets a free pass? Spare me the faux outrage about ‘procedure’ when the system itself is rigged to marginalize Māori voices.

Nah that's wrong. Almost all of the things happening now are illegal based on the laws on the books. We're just not used to needing to enforce them.

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey. Defiantly, ME

BREAKING: Federal judge blocks Elon Musk, Amy Gleason, and DOGE employees from access to Social Security Administration systems containing personally identifiable information, orders them also to delete any previously obtained non-anonymized SSA information.

LOL—that captures Elon Musk’s management “prowess” to a fu*king T!!

Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.

The official White House account just referred to Trump as a “king” and posted an image with a crown on his head. They’re not even hiding it.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

An excellent question. Where are the Fortune 500 & Wall Street CEOs? Where are the university presidents? Where are the civil society leaders? Not just speaking out specifically in defense of their institutions & democracy, but also about 🇺🇸's global interests? The silence is deafening & shameful.

When you ask a question and get only silence back, the volume that silence speaks never carries the answer you wanted.

Wow, we’re being given pre-absolvement from breaking laws to save our country from Trump and Musk!

Hey, you guys wanna see a dead body?

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

Knowledge is power…

🧵 It’s Sunday morning, and eggs are still expensive, so here’s a pro baking tip: You can replace eggs with baking soda & vinegar. This works really well for pancakes (and even cakes, muffins, and quick breads). Here’s how ⬇️ (1/4)

Anyway, here’s Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy tweeting about renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Maybe when he’s done fighting culture wars he can try to get planes to stop crashing.

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

I was one of those kids that got fed. They didn't care what color you were or about your income, they just did the right thing and I have never forgotten it. We were too poor to afford breakfast.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

This is fascism.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Wouldn’t this apply to anyone who took him out of office?

Ah yes, Elon, who forum shops in Texas for judges favorable to his positions.

Damn. 🔥 “If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

For those that want to see the original:

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT LOCATION, BUT DEFINITELY ALL ABOUT COLOR

Kanye West had some good music back in the day. Clearly he is now mentally disturbed and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up violently taking out his anger on what seems to be the whole world.

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

LET'S DO THIS!! please watch and let's ORGANIZE with @raskin.house.gov AND DO THIS!! www.msnbc.com/the-weekend/...

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Zero taxes? What the absolute FUCK!

The judge said delete it all, not just personal data Elon, and that also includes destroying any AI or local AI instance you’ve been using to train on the Treasury data.

LOL, as soon as Vance’s post hit, everyone had the same thought…
