Elon and his Tech Nazis are accessing your personal data illegally, and there IS something you can do about it. Contact your state's Attorney General, or your Consumer Protection Agency here: www.usa.gov/state-consumer. Fight back.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Wow!!

Really really cold at night here lately (18F is dang cold for us!!!), but who needs a hot water bottle when I have these two piled on me in bed?! Orca alone runs at like 100F. His ears glow with heat in the dark.

A federal judge in Massachusetts temporarily paused the Trump administration’s federal employee buyout program’s deadline, which had been set for 11:59 p.m. tonight.

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

A federal court just blocked Elon Musk from interfering with the federal government’s payments system.

There is power in fighting back. We won’t let up until this block is permanent.

Many many are fighting. Some signs of things happening. Keep up the pressure!

DOGE Staffer Resigns Over Racist Posts A staffer for Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency whose access to U.S. Treasury payment systems was approved by a federal judge on Thursday has links to a deleted social-media account that...

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."

He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

Yesterday, Trump signed the Laken Riley Act, which requires the detention of people charged with assaulting law enforcement officers.

Meanwhile, he pardoned more than 100 insurrectionists convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers. This is not about "law and order."

ICE complaining about ACLU’s “Know Your Rights” education means it’s working. Everyone in the USA has due process rights. Keep sharing those ACLU red cards which list Constitutional rights. ICE: get a warrant. A REAL warrant signed by a judge

I’m confused how awarding 4 years of back pay in a lump sum to 8,000 service members who were discharged for refusing to get vaccinated is good for the morale of the other 99% of troops who spent the last 4 years working their asses off on active duty for that same pay.

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

I like the same-color binding! Lets the simple pattern & color/fabrics stand out.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

A graphic showing a temperature outlook across western Washington with below average temperatures likely through Feb 2nd-6th. Colder temperatures are expected to begin by this weekend, with also periods of precipitation coinciding with colder temperatures. Uncertainty exists in exactly how cold it will get it, along with the precipitation type (rain, rain/snow, snow). Monitor the latest forecasts, and follow a trusted weather source. Check back frequently for updated information.

That snowflake ❄️ appearing on your phone? We’re hearing a lot of uncertainty about the weather forecast this weekend particularly on whether there will be snow. It’s important to check with local forecasters as we get closer to the weekend.

One thing is for certain: It’s going to be cold. #wawx

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we must recommit ourselves to educating each other about the horrors of the Holocaust — and fight back against authoritarianism.

There isn't "too much focus on past guilt."

There's a blatant attempt to rewrite the atrocities of the past.

HEADS UP FOR YOUR EVENING COMMUTE: The westbound I-90 to northbound I-5 off-ramp remains CLOSED in Seattle. Traffic backups are 4+ miles. Use alternate routes!

Navy graphic with text "The Constitution is clear: Politicians don't get to decide who in our country is worthy of citizenship." Above the text is a side profile of Donald Trump and a photo of people looking up at the U.S. Capitol. A white ACLU logo is in the bottom left.

We’re suing President Trump over his executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship.

People born in the U.S. are citizens.

Democrats in Congress: WHAT IS THE PLAN?

Going on Sunday shows and spewing consultant speak isn't going to cut it.

Twelve inspectors general fired and there's no sit-in? No filibuster? No direction to voters? And in fact, some of you are actually voting for Trump's agenda?

Americans voted for cheaper groceries. Less than a week on the job and Trump's already managed to get us into a trade war that will drive up the cost of coffee and be a gut-punch to American farmers and manufacturers, all because Colombia hurt his feelings.

Trump Supporters Are Begging Him For Their Jobs Back "My wife is in tears! Please, Mr. President, fix this mistake!”

Dear Humans,

Trump’s hiring freeze has left his own supporters jobless and humiliated. Now, they’re begging him to fix the chaos he caused—and the irony is nothing short of divine. Grab some popcorn; it’s time for thy daily dose of schadenfreude.

Back on the grind tomorrow
