Cory Booker is the first vegan to talk for 24 hours straight about something other than being a vegan.

Me and countless other authors today…😂

The car salesman in the White House just told Americans to buy these.

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

Good god that first sentence is a nightmare

This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.

Elon Musk is not the owner of the US Government and his email to all federal workers is bullshit

Public Notice: “ @aoc.bsky.social is showing members of Congress can provide real help to constituents while enraging Trump’s dunderheaded hench-thugs and making them look so bad even Jonathan Turley is forced to pile on… Schumer & Jeffries should take notes.” open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

If Hochul is scoring on him, it’s open season. Have at it, Dems.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

They don’t care if women die. Period.

I'd apply if I didn't already have a good gig. Seriously. This is a dream job.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil former leader Bolsonaro knew and agreed to a plan to poison President Lula, top prosecutor says.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

My God, @politico.com. This is beyond embarrassing.

“U.S. Food and Drug Administration employees reviewing Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink were fired over the weekend as part of a broader purge of the federal workforce”

been shitting on Blanchard for this but let's be honest the desk team that let all this through to print should genuinely not be employed in any capacity editorial OR whoever ordered that they weren't allowed to do their job should not be. There isn't a third option here

Me being a broken record on this: Don't trust consumer-facing "AI" for anything.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

That’s the problem. We’ve been standing by for too long.

How was this contract awarded??!

the richest man in the world has decided that your kids don't deserve special education programs

i also do not understand the democratic rhetorical thing of always asking questions. "we need more clarity on the faa firings" feels like weak sauce to me. "trump is gutting the faa so your plane crashes and your family dies" just make the accusation instead of trying to impress debate judges

Dying in a hideous plane crash because the world’s most racist and unlovable nerds couldn’t handle a 45 minute HR training.

what would you do differently if you were actively trying to cause more plane crashes? www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

My favorite from today’s 50501 March in Boston.

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.

They’re coming for every last second of your attention.
