🎵It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife🎵 I swear to God, Alanis Morissette, if you don’t stop stealing my spoons.

Every day my brain is shocked and disgusted that I would try to use it for its intended purpose

Never assume for the future that any politician will keep to any values that may have aligned with yours in the past.

Politicians do not run on consistency or liberation. They run on profit.

If they align, we leverage it, but we remain vigilant about all positions open to shifting at any moment.

Shit like this is the reason that some days I am certain we're fucked.

Assuming we can't go backwards is part of how we got here...

DOGE's savings page fixed old mistakes — and added new ones An NPR review of new data added to DOGE's "wall of receipts" finds the group quietly changed previous errors, added new ones and still has little verified savings to show for its work.

Star Wars spoof comparing the rebel alliance to the current hapless Democratic Party.

Depressing brilliance from my pal Ruben Bolling.

the Hey Little Man How's It Going comic, but it's just the contiguous 48 states screaming endlessly

A formal event featuring two individuals, one being Mexico's president Sheinbaum holding documents, with a backdrop celebrating 2025 as the Year of Indigenous Women in Mexico.

A military figure Vicente Guerrero in a detailed red and gold uniform stands confidently, holding a horn, with a flag and mountainous backdrop.

Mexico's president Sheinbaum signed a decree declaring February 14 as the Memorial day for General Vicente Guerrero, the first Afro-Mexican president, who is notable for abolishing slavery on September 15, 1829 which led to the US invasion of 1846 backing US occupiers that refused to comply.

NYT has been problematic for a while now. Literally supporting the coup in progress and then writing shit like this. I refuse to use them as a reliable source and tell my students the same.

The most accurate framing I've read yet

And this is exactly my fear

While the court decisions against Musk and Trump are important, I worry they won't be enough. These people don't care about the rule of law, and the GOP controlled Congress has all but ceded any power they had. So who will make them comply?

Oops 😬

I love this. This should be the symbol of the new rebel coalition.

"This moment is a test."

Yes it is. Do not self censor. Do not obey in advance. Be as brave as you can.

The U.S. Labor Department has been temporarily blocked by court order from sharing data with Elon Musk and his staffers. 🥄

I had Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) in 2020. I had a Ki-67 number of 97%, a measure of the aggressiveness (mine was basically as high as it gets). The recurrence risk is 15-20% in the first 3-5 years. I have been lucky so far. But many aren't. This research is literally life and death.

I don't even have words for how bad this is. An unelected foreign citizen has full access to the most sensitive data in our government. It's fully illegal and yet not a single elected official is doing anything to stop it.
