Walks of Life

Moved this up to the top of the "Terrifying shit they're announcing" list.

NEW: THREAD: Just a small collection of propaganda emails sent by the regime to federal employees who have sent them to me on the condition of anonymity. First, we all saw the HUD banner from Tuesday morning. 1/

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

Cashing in my 401K today. I'll eat the taxes rather than gambling it anymore... I hope I'm making the right call.

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why?

RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

A government shutdown would devastate people with disabilities. ACA subsidies gone. Social Security offices closed. Applications delayed. Call (202) 224-3121—tell Republicans: protect healthcare & disability services. Lives are on the line. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

They might as well paint a target on the location - this is so dangerous! Announcing it to the world, including our enemies, might be the stupidest thing done by this administration already entirely run on idiocy.

A statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands in D.C. is removed as fast as it appeared The statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands mid-frolic wasn't the first anti-Trump artwork on the National Mall in recent months. But it was the first to be removed, despite having a permit.

Whoever did this deserves a #resist medal. 🤣

Taking the old spray painting technique and elevating it to this level is incredible!

Another win for "Fuck you. Make me."

@mluckovich.bsky.social deserves a tag - yet another great cartoon.

Cont'd: Turns out many people have made it though the DHHS insanity with their hearts and goals intact.
While I still don't know exactly what they were actually looking for, I know it was meant to be a kind, somewhat auto-trigger from repeated hospital visits. He was nice, helpful, & not intrusive.

As a 40+ yo woman I thought I'd figured out (or at least muddled through) all the adulting & caregiving things... Then Adult Protective Services comes to "check in" on my wife's ongoing medical care - there is no f'n hint about what they need.
Confidence in care doesn't mean I wasn't terrified. 😳

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Raskin: "He wants to condition the public to the idea that it's completely legitimate for the president not only to be ordering prosecutions of particular people over the objections of prosecutors, but he wants to condition the public to accepting the idea he can do that in public, openly."

WTAF?!

All the holidays that got cancelled by fiat weren't fought, but this is supported? 🤯🤢

They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration?

Banana republic shit

I'm super proud of my 9yo who helped educate his 4th grade class about the holocaust & how people were rounded up and disappeared to then be killed.

His grade was subtle about the reason for the topic's relevance, but managed to cover several types of dangerous styles of government.

I get it if you're having trouble watching the ICE brutality videos, but this...THIS...make yourself. It's not just parents in front of their kids, (which is awful) but a teen too... Plus 3 US citizens beaten by ICE & denied medical care, including an 80 year old US citizen business owner.

Oh my god lol

This Dutch late night host absolutely eviscerates Trump and Disney- you gotta watch how

Well... planes are back to staying in the air, but everything else is a high speed train wreck.

This was too good 😂 Jasmine ate Kash up 🤣🤣

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

The guy just … tweeted it out

I keep seeing people talk about the distance of the shot that killed him. Folks, 200 yards (180m) isn't a difficult shot to make. The average infantry soldier could make that with just iron sights. With a scope, it would be too easy. An operator wasn't needed for that shot. Just an average marksman.
