It gets worse.

This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

May today hold beautiful moments for you. Good morning Blue Sky

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.

In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

All this business I am reading about social security is nonsense. My mom died on 2/18. My dad got a letter yesterday informing him her benefits were ending and he had to repay the February payment because they don’t give a payment in the month someone dies. They know where every dollar is.

YouTube video by Adam Parkhomenko Thank you, Rep. Al Green!

Worth a listen to what Al Green says after he was removed from the chamber.

Seeing Al Green being escorted from the House reminded me of the time Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert weren’t.

Back in the 60's I was teargassed at an anti-war event. There was only one exit route. It crossed a street with a 6' deep ditch. The crowd was panicked and largely blinded. Many fell in and there were significant injuries. My goal in this thread is to provide hints to help keep you safe 👇

Works as advertised

I kiss my daughter on the head as I walk out the door in my 26th year of public service. "Dada's got a big meeting today with the Shadow Secretary of State, a 19 year old named 14SkibidiGroyper88, kiddo. Study hard and do well in school so you can have a job like Dada someday."

Trump Killed a Major Report on Nature. They’re Trying to Publish It Anyway. The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of America’s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study “too important to die.”

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

Hey Elon👋🏽 Every single person in this country deserves to know their rights. That's legal.

Maybe you should brush up on our laws given the fact you're breaking them to steal American's sensitive data.

PS. This video is manipulated, and I wasn't even at the event shown.

US to again withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council, stop UNRWA funding The actions come one day before Trump is set to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington.

Trump is expected to issue an executive order withdrawing the U.S. from the U.N. Human Rights Council and prohibiting future funding for the U.N. relief agency for Gaza, according to a document obtained by POLITICO.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Tracing the Roots of the Christian Nationalist Movement That’s Influencing Modern Politics The Christian right has become an increasingly powerful force in American politics at every level, from school boards to the presidency. Its roots trace back decades.

A T-Barrier blast wall from outside of the 332d EMDG Field Hospital in Balad AB, Iraq that was painted in honor of the Tuskegee Airmen, a name that the 332d AEW continued to use in their honor.

I just heard that the USAF is removing the Tuskegee Airman from their history curriculum, which is insane given their legacy was so vital that the 332d AEW in Balad, Iraq was named in honor of them. This is a T-Barrier that was outside of our field hospital when I was there painted in their honor

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

I just finished The Kalis Experiments. I don’t remember the blurb at the back but the rest of the book was great! I’m diving right into The Black Wall next!

farm workers harvesting and packing red chard

Thanks Rose for this photo of farm workers harvesting and packing red chard outside of Watsonville. The crop is harvested under plastic tunnels as it creates heat for the plant to grow. Also when it rains it keeps the plant dry which helps prevent mildew or fungus. #WeFeedYou

In case you're curious, this is the internal Meta "fuck DEI" announcement received by Meta employees

Trying to imagine pitching this movie 50 years ago:
“So this guy from apartheid goes to America and cons his way to collecting half a trillion dollars and buys a President with it. Then he starts to order Congress around from his computer which is actually a portable telephone.”
