I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

AAHHHHH!!!!

I remember zey.bsky.social having written about this, especially at the beginning of the pandemic.

They're going to change the clocks this weekend and the president is powerless to stop it. Because he's weak and a loser. That's what they're saying sir

I’ve received some feedback this week about generally having a more “palatable” message—e.g., not naming Trump or calling out other orgs.

I need folks to understand something: I’m not trying to make a palatable message. I’m using the message of science to try to stop authoritarianism in America. 🧵

they're trying to send the national guard into portland to "protect" federal buildings

Whether it’s conservatives complaining about a redesign of Cracker Barrel’s across the country, or liberals complaining about President Trump bulldozing the East Wing of the White House, it’s clear both sides are engaged in a new political battleground over architecture and design

"Oh so there's no path to redemption?" Sure there is. Most paths to redemption don't run through the U.S. Senate, though. Go, live a good life. Farm oysters. Diminish and go into the East and be an always improving Graham Platner. Do not be a Senator. And remove that fucking tat.

I knew if I scrolled long enough I would find out why everyone was suddenly talking about Nazi tats

Hey, so another piece of advice for people who are S-Corps: there is a company called Opolis that acts as your employer of record and will provide health insurance and other benefits.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

You may disagree with some of Trump’s policies (pointless military invasion of your exurbs, no healthcare, routine savage beatings) but at least his peace deals keep falling apart immediately

He stopped at my door and looked me in the eye, and I’ll never, ever forget this. I repeated it recently. He said, “Jim, our job is to protect empathy at all costs, and to live groovy lives.”

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Thank you to the career federal employees, who show up to work every day and improve people's lives across the country.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

To Donald Trump:

Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities.

Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US.

Stop attacking the 1st Amendment.

Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

Exhibit A at The Hague just dropped

pete hegseth, who you will recall has been accused of domestic abuse and sexual assault, has announced a new policy by which you cannot file anonymous complaints of mistreatment. sex criminal solidarity.

I will say if that whole military meeting had been an email it would have been a pretty weird email
