Repost this poster everyone

I just found out thru a relative that a user on Twitter called Hesgeth "Whiskileaks" and this needs to go viral, as the kids say.

@canadiyank.bsky.social I finally did it. Indoor herb garden.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:

“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

In 2019, the National Park Service had a budget of $4 billion but generated over $30 billion in economic activity.

Firing federal workers and cutting public programs is going to end up costing us MORE, not less.

Trump is using the White House to make a commercial for the richest man in the world while Americans’ 401ks are plummeting.

A close-up photograph of a Trump's hand holding a piece of paper with handwritten notes on Tesla pricing. The note lists the prices of various Tesla models, including the Model X, Cybertruck (CT), Model S, and Model Y, along with their respective colors. It also includes information about "Full Self Driving" and financing options. The handwritten note is placed over a printed document with the letterhead "DONALD J. TRUMP," which is partially visible. The image is taken outdoors with a blurred background. There is a watermark from Getty Images, crediting photographer Andrew Harnik.

Added alt text, because wow

What’s this - a mask mandate? The double standards continue to appall.

Watching trump be oddly silent in the Oval while musk yammered and his toddler wiped boogers, I couldn’t help but wonder if trump is setting him up to take the fall for a lot of dirty deeds, then kicking him to the curb when the courts catch up. This perhaps reinforces that theory.

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

Guess I better enjoy this Mexican avocado and Canadian blood orange while I still can.

No spark left between Estonia and Russia. Estonian photographer Sergei Stepanov captured the moment of the last one during the final disconnection of our electric grid from Russia.

First the torching of democracy and now this, I CAN’T TAKE ONE. MORE. THING.

Protesters in cities across the US rally against Trump's policies, Project 2025 and Elon Musk Demonstrators have gathered in cities across the U.S. to protest the Trump administration’s early actions.

We agree. 😂

9. I understand from our Office Manager, however, that as of Sunday, February 2, no funds have been deposited to our bank account. We have checked our accounts multiple times a day since January 29, but no funds have been transmitted. We have received no information or explanation from the Administration for Community Living about the interruption in funds. 10. In short: we have received no federal funds since the OMB Freeze Memo was issued. Our Center had enough money to meet payroll on Friday, January 31, and to cover outstanding bills. But we did not have enough money on hand to cover another two-week pay period at full staffing. 11. Thus, on Friday, January 31, the Board of Directors voted to lay off three of our five employees and drastically reduce services to our customers. This presented a dire situation for our customers, who have immediate needs. 12. For example, on Monday, February 3, we are scheduled to take an 86-year-old woman to dialysis treatments (which we do for her every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). Our agency is her only way to get to these life-sustaining appointments.

NEW: The board president of a small WV nonprofit says they haven't received their HHS funding since the Trump/Musk budget freeze. They had to lay off 3 of 5 employees on Friday. An 86-yr-old woman is counting on them to take her dialysis tomorrow. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Left a message for my rep. Senators’ mailboxes were full. Clearly an advantage of coup’ing on the weekend.

The Logic of Destruction And how to resist it

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

Chai tea and coffee flavored bourbon. It’s been a week.

Feels funny to ♥️ this, but yes.
