Ok I am completely broken by this. The Hague and UN need to see this.

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means.

It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

i mean it’s just the truth

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

the reason the sale is happening this week for BN and Amazon is also because today is World Book Day.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

GIVE BACK THE CATS

give em her cats back

Hey. Give Em her fucking cats back. Stop being an extreme douche and hold onto whatever dignity you have left by not stressing both her and those cats out. You loved her at some point - revenge is childish.

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

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

This is Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll. Last Friday he refused Justice Department order to identify & assist in firing all agents involved in Jan. 6 riot cases, He is said to have pushed back forcefully.
Thank you Brian Driscoll!🇺🇸

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

nothing like needed to take a shit right after showering. i’m not hopping back in but the urge is there.

I keep seeing people be like “I’m useless. I have no skills. How can I help?”

So I made a list of skills to learn so we can start pulling labor away from the capitalists and into our own communities.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

dad can be frustrated with something and cuss and yell while figuring it out but if *I DID THAT* i’d get questioned and told to calm down, i bet you $1000

Take yall children to those black history events that will be held at some local libraries. It starts at home

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

The revolution may need violence. That is a possibility.

But it also needs healers.
It needs gardeners.
It needs leaders.
It needs managers.
It needs cooks.
It needs farmers.
It needs tailors.
It needs educators.
It needs journalists.
It needs artists.
It needs builders.

You are not useless.

I am choosing mercy Not because they deserve it They most certainly do not But because if I don’t All this hate will eat me up Until there is nothing left And I will become no different than them Some wicked shambling thing Ruled only by bloodlust I am choosing mercy To get rid of this feeling in my chest To allow myself the permission to ignore them To build a better world And help those who deserve my help I am choosing mercy But that does not mean I have turned away from justice Nor does it mean that I am choosing apathy But they are no longer welcome in The temple that is my heart They have chosen to be on the outside Because they have chosen not to have mercy

I wrote this because I’ve really been struggling with doing the right thing lately. It’s been really easy to get bogged down and angry and obsessive about the news lately.

Some people voted for trump.
Some people voted for Kamala.
Some people voted 3rd party.

But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security.

What the fuck is THIS bullshit?
