What could go wrong?

Psst… take 12 seconds away from doom scrolling, to take a deep breath and relax with these sweet otters 🦦

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

It’s borderline criminal.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

I had to read this twice. Such a sad turn of events. I used to somewhat enjoy the regular updates I received from Miguel Angel Cardona, Secretary of education under Biden.

Good: CDC’s outbreak publication (MMWR) is now up and running after the first pause in over 70 years

Bad: Todays publication is about fires, and not the missing bird flu or mpox studies we knew were up for publication. Of which have safety implications for veterinarians and people with house cats

We could have had a competent president, lower drug prices, home buyer assistance, a Cabinet filled with qualified adults and not sociopaths, global respect, and national sovereignty...

I LOVE AMERICA MORE THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, AND, EXACTLY FOR THIS REASON, I INSIST ON THE RIGHT TO CRITICIZE HER PERPETUALLY. - JAMES BALDWIN

In honor of black history month, I will be doing a daily thread of James Baldwin quotes. If you have never heard of the late great Mr Baldwin, he was a trailblazer in so many ways. If the weather is crappy where you are might I suggest “I Am Not Your Negro” a 2016 documentary.

I recall this tactic used before - - - so concerning among all the many concerning things.

Message from a coalition member: Morale is at an all-time low across the federal government, with many employees actively seeking other work. Fear of termination is widespread, and many do not have a backup plan or alternative job lined up.

We used to all hold our breath hoping a shooter wasn’t a Muslim or a trans person.

Now we gotta worry if the air traffic controller was Black?!

Do you see how far they have moved the window?

The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

White House rescinds federal aid freeze | CNN Politics The White House Office of Management and Budget has rescinded the federal aid freeze, according to a memo obtained by CNN from a Trump administration official

Trump's spending freeze was unconstitutional and a violation of the Impoundment Control Act.

But the public uproar yesterday should serve as a reminder that Trump's plans to gut federal programs are deeply unpopular.

Keep fighting. Keep up the pressure. Don't tune out. www.cnn.com/2025/01/29/p...

Her messaging is so strong. This is the entire crux of it.
He can't do it. It's illegal. Congress is responsible to the constitution and must deny this request. Full stop.

A tweet from Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) stating: "The White House is aware of the Medicaid website portal outage. We have confirmed no payments have been affected — they are still being processed and sent. We expect the portal will be back online shortly."

No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. They’re only back up because of the outcry. I’d tell you to stop lying but we know that’s a feature of this administration.

It’s not a cabinet, it’s more like a junk drawer.

Enjoying homemade veggie empanadas this week. Fire roasted tomatoes, carrots, tri-color bell peppers, with my home grown purple potatoes, jalapeño peppers and garlic. Delicious!
