#handsoff representation on Bainbridge Island!

Why does anyone work at Tesla, SpaceX, or any other Musk company at this point? Like, WTF?

DM me for more details. I’m happy to list more credentials if necessary. I just didn’t find a better avenue to post my availability/services.

Hi, SPN. Thanks for trying to revive things (we’re all exhausted from the last decade so I applaud any energy you have). I took your survey, FWIW.

FYI to anyone that reads this - I’m more than happy to work First Aid for future protests. I have WFR credentials and my own gear and am used to chaos…

New York Got $80 Million for Migrants. The White House Took It Back. The New York City comptroller’s office, which first noticed the missing money, said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had unilaterally taken the funds from the city’s accounts.

The Trump administration took back federal funding meant to cover some of the costs of housing migrants borne by New York City, reversing the transfer of $80 million that the FEMA made to the city last week.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Me me!

Friends are switching from WhatsApp to Signal. Smart move. Also, the less you support Zuck the Cuck, the better.

In the most extreme cases, some smaller contracting agencies we know with FEMA have enough funds to cover payroll for the next 3 weeks after which they will need to do layoffs or close shop.

I run an NGO in close partnership with many local and state entities. First off, our federal liaisons have gone dark and many recurring meetings at that level (CDC, HHS/ASPR, etc.) have been canceled with no explanation. Indirectly, some of our partners can’t get any clarity on promised grants.

The most charitable thing I can say is, “there is a RECORD level amount of normalcy bias infecting so much of the ‘intellectual class’ right now.” There are many less charitable things I can say, but I don’t want to make Bluesky a toxic network.

“Move fast and break America”

Who is left that’s supposed to protect it? Trump gave him carte blanch to fire anyone and everyone.

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

It would be a shame if this was printed and put up on walls in each US city.

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

WIRED has been doing vital work.

If you’re looking to support good journalism right now, subscriptions are cheap.

Absolutely. Chris nailed the issue almost daily.

Sorry, Mexico and Canada, we elected a dimwitted shitheel

This is a federal public servant appreciation post. We are grateful for all the things you have done and will continue to do for Americans as well as state and local government. I’m sorry… you do not deserve this treatment.

NPS.gov Homepage (U.S. National Park Service) The National Park Service cares for special places saved by the American people so that all may experience our heritage.

While I can't confirm anything at this point, it looks like the National Park Service has taken down web pages for:

National Japanese American Memorial
Bainbridge Island Japanese American Memorial
Stonewall National Monument

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

Signal Messenger: Speak Freely Say "hello" to a different messaging experience. An unexpected focus on privacy, combined with all of the features you expect.

For my Fed friends, it might be a good idea to stay off .gov computers and build a Signal network to share info.

Is there a list yet of good accounts to follow? What's the right term for "accounts" in Bluesky? Or is "accounts" the right term?
