Let’s (sadly) privatize public radio & tv for the moment & use it to counteract the behemoth fox/murdoch. Fire w/ fire, or faux with facts. #NPR #PBS #media www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

One of the most significant moments of the 2026 cycle likely happened Tuesday night during the Ways and Means markup of the tax portion of Republicans' reconciliation bill.

It got no attention at the time and little since, but it is wildly important. Here's what happened--

Artificial intelligence when I was a kid

BREAKING: An American citizen has been kidnapped by ICE and is being illegally held in Florida.

This is terrifying.

YouTube video by PoliticsGirl 20 Lessons on Tyranny: by Timothy Snyder / read by John Lithgow

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Pete Hegseth is a danger to this country and our men and women in uniform.

Hey Dems, let’s give PISSED OFF vibes about this Signal national security breach because… WTAF?! This is indefensible & people must be held to account for this utter failure. I get that everything they touch is sh!t, but for real this is BAD. #Signal #Hegseth #NationalSecurityBreach #USA

Look who’s antiemetic now (as though there was any doubt). #NeverAgain should’ve applied to tr*mp, too💔

Once elected, they seem to lose their hearts, brains & voices. It’s possible Lamb might’ve done so, too🤷🏻‍♀️ Too many are so disappointing. #BeBrave #FightFascism

Hello Glowies!!
And to the rest of you, now is really the time to be switching to end to end encrypted, OPEN SOURCE software. There is a leak that the gov't has a tool that is monitoring ALL of your social media for "possible terrorism".
🧵IIT, I am sharing the alternatives you should switch to ASAP

If you own stock of companies, call their Investor Relations Department and tell them to support DEI initiatives. If they don’t, boycott.

Same for adults who have unsecured firearms that kids access, resulting in preventable tragedy. You can’t make it make sense.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

Highlighted text that reads “I am high”

Text that reads: The importance of a missing letter… I AIM high, I am NOT high ::face palm emoji::

Text that reads: Hahahaha, I just thought it was an honest assessment of the odds! And this is CA, so I’m just like, “that’s cool, Emily, that’s cool.”

Whoops!😅

That was a setup. #StandWithUkraine
