I think I would argue that it makes the site unpalatable to a lot of people I don’t want to shape the culture of my social media. Not just the right. Anyone who thinks social media is for the Outrage Industrial Complex can be bored here and leave.

8, then 11, then daily after that.

I’m not a teacher but I mentioned Goblin Tools (affectionately nicknamed “Gobby” by my coworkers and I) to one of them and she uses it regularly. Definitely letting her know about Teacher Tools being developed.

Ooooo sounds fascinating.

I'm all for going after waste, fraud, and abuse. The Department of Defense spends $800+ billion a year. It's never passed a single audit. Ever.

USAID was audited three months ago.

Is Elon scared to lose all the defense contract money he pockets from the Pentagon?

Wait I need context

This is awesome. From a custom knife forging shop in Edom, Texas.

I just sent this email to all 13,000 federal employees of the NOAA lol. The Trump administration's changes to their communications system made it so literally anyone can blast messages out to the entire agency

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

Maybe the Director of the FBI shouldn’t literally be on the payroll of the President. I dunno tho. Bill Clinton once was briefly on the same airplane with the AG while his wife ran for President - clearly one of these is worth dozens of breathless articles claiming corruption

Trump's attorney general pick owned at least $3.9 million in Truth Social stock and made $1 million as a lobbyist last year Bondi, who's been working as a lobbyist and a consultant in recent years, reported a net worth of $12.1 million.

That's nothing compared to the $3.9M worth of Trump Media stock that AG-Designate Pam Bondi owns.

Tweet from MapQuest: fyi MapQuest is NOT renaming the Gulf of Mexico - not because of politics but because we haven't updated our maps in like 15 years and don't remember how to do it 3:01 PM • Jan 29, 2025

Not only that, THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT. Overwhelming you shuts you down. It hurts your ability to resist.

Take care of yourself. Focus on the topics you have capacity to.

Listen to the people who help you think this through.

Take breaks. Listen to your body.

And find community. Most important.

A green and blue graphic that says "We're suing the Trump administration for unlawfully pausing federal funding and violating the separation of powers"

A blue and green graphic listed several reasons why a pause on federal funding will be detrimental to Massachusetts residents

Trump's directive to pause federal funding violates the law and strips away support for the resources our kids, seniors and economy rely on.

Our families are not his political pawns.

I'm suing to hold this administration accountable.

I recommend using archive sites. If something isn’t in there, add it. I use this one: archive.today

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Grand Rapids police ‘not in the business of immigration enforcement,’ chief says Grand Rapids Police Chief Eric Winstrom on Thursday, Jan. 23, said his officers would not be arresting people for immigration violations.

THIS!!! MORE. OF. THIS.

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

Yep.

Lost my absolute shit last night and today over very real PTSD triggers. For real worried my brain was breaking so badly that my head was splitting and I was extremely nauseated.

….nope turns out I just picked the WORST time to forget it take my Effexor for two days. 🙃

We live in the age of the empowered narcissistic sociopath

Republicans put up much more of a fight after losing to Barack Obama by 7.2% than Democrats are willing to put up after losing to Donald Trump by 1.6%.

One of the most pervasive fallacies is that government programs should only exist if profitable. No. It's the opposite. Government programs exist to address needs that aren't profitable. If the need could be addressed by profitable and effective programs, government wouldn't need to address it.

Republican Governor Larry Hogan posted video of the constellation Orion and claimed the stars were “large drones” above his home.

Just a reminder that Republicans want to shut down the Department of Education.

It should be noted that he solemnly said "I play a lot of golf," quickly followed by "the FUCK I do" 😂

This was a theme in @kristiannairn.bsky.social ‘s autobiography that resonated so hard with me. We are not stagnant!

If anyone has Nathan’s TEDtalk about how each SpongeBob character is gay, i need it

The big thing all the media is missing in the Hunter Biden discussion is that Trump wants to fire the FBI Director he hired because he got caught committing crimes
