a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

This is hilarious. I especially like the annexation of Green Bay and the mystery Mississippi River announcement.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’

Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

The Courts Can’t Stop the Trump-Musk Coup While the lawsuits being filed against the Trump-Musk administration are righteous, they will not “save” us from this nightmare.

We may see “rulings from this Supreme Court that narrowly limit what Trump can do while simultaneously expanding what unelected courts can do, specifically Republican courts, to frustrate a number of democratically passed laws in the future.”

Oops 😬

True.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Off to public school with my daughter where Black History Month is taught & respected — and hot & healthy lunch is included as part of what our tax dollars go to.

Fuck Trump for trying to steal our resources and make us suffer. And for setting a terrible example for our kids.

More Than 40,000 Federal Workers Have Resigned So Far, Short of Target Uncertainty about whether they will get paid not to work through September is deterring employees who face a Thursday deadline for taking a buyout.

It’s not just that the buy-out won’t be honored; it can’t be honored.

They have neither authority nor appropriations to honor the promise. “Fraud in the inducement.”

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

Republican senators who spent the entire election distancing themselves from Project 2025 just voted to put its author in one of the most powerful positions in government.

Every Republican in the Senate just voted to confirm Russell Vought. We’re going to hold them accountable for every piece of the Project 2025 agenda he implements and all the harm it causes to the families they’re supposed to represent.

Marko Elez, an Elon Musk staffer with access to the Treasury Department’s sensitive payments system, has quit after racist and pro-eugenics posts surfaced, including one stating, ‘Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.’

Every one of these guys thinks they’re Oppenheimer mixed with Andrew Carnegie and they own something called SplortDotCom that got bought by Boozoo

The US Treasury Claimed DOGE Technologist Didn’t Have ‘Write Access’ When He Actually Did Sources tell WIRED that the ability of DOGE's Marko Elez to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded days after US Treasury and White House officials said it didn't exist.

Dear @Doge

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

FYI:

Popular meme format, grandma labeled with "bluesky's public launch was one year ago today." Younger person helping her labeled with "sure grandma let's get you to bed."

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!

with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

As Elon Musk Attacks DEI, Tesla Quietly Addresses Racism Complaints The company’s board pledged to investors that it would pay closer attention to how the company managed workers.
