NEW: I just asked Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett if she had a message to Elon Musk.

What would she say to him? Here was her answer:

“Fuck off.”

A stacked bar chart (oriented horizontally) labeled: Living with ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome) Each horizontal bar is a disease status: Pre-ME, Mild ME, Moderate ME, Severe ME, Very Severe ME. The width of each bar represents how much energy is available in each status (100, 50, 25, 12.5, and 6.25 respectively). Each bar is divided into sections for how one might allocate their energy: hygiene & nutrition (gray); caregiving, cleaning errands (red); work (orange); exercise (yellow); friends (green); hobbies (blue); fun (purple). With worsening ME, the hygiene & nutrition takes up a larger proportion of total available energy and the amount of energy available for all other parts of life shrinks. Mild ME has most things cut in half, with exercise cut smaller. Moderate ME removes exercise altogether, and everything else shrinks. Severe ME has only tiny slivers of red, orange, green, blue and purple. Very Severe ME has only a tiny sliver of green.

NIH recently found 1 in 22 ppl who’d had Covid developed ME/CFS. The “mild” form of that disease, as @julialmv.bsky.social’s graph shows, means losing capacity to do 50% of your daily activities.

What would you give up?

Friends? Time w/your kids? Could you cut work hours in half w/o losing yr job?

A cartoon depicting Tesla cyber trucks on an American road and a person standing in front of them. The caption reads: "Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call for American defiance and resistance."

Powerful.

White Christian nationalism is the greatest threat to our democracy and the well being of our neighbors. Full stop.

I got that dog in me (I’m scared of the doorbell)

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Does it show on my face? #TrumpSucks

I love you, Minnesota 🩷

Major breaking trans news: The States of Washington, Minnesota, and Oregon have sued the Trump administration to block it from enforcing a national gender affirming care ban for those under 19 years of age.

This is the second major lawsuit over Trump's trans ban EO.

Docs to come.

no need to remind me, I too feel extremely old even recognizing this

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

American friends,

Now is the time to look up what all the people they refused to teach you about did.

How did they fight and survive American empire? You're new. Ok. What did those before you do?

My second Letter to the Editor published by our local paper in the last two weeks. Gotta do what you can.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

Project 2025 well underway 😒

While I didn't order it, I have to admit this hell *is* exquisitely fresh.

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.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day."

When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."
