Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Fuck you, Mayor TRAITOR Adams. This is 26 Federal Plaza which is also Manhattan’s Social Security Administration office and apparently ICE.😡🤬😤🖕

The reckless Republican budget will be debated on the House floor today.

It represents the largest cut to Medicaid in American history.

Children, families, seniors, hospitals and nursing homes will be devastated.

House Democrats are a Hard NO.

THE Rep. Jasmine Crockett to Elon Musk:
"Fuck off."

So say we all.

🚨BREAKING: Ninth Circuit AFFIRMS lower court decision striking down Arizona voter suppression law H.B. 2492 which imposed unconstitutional and burdensome proof of citizenship requirements.

A big victory for our clients and the voters of Arizona. A stinging defeat for the RNC.

What she said.

The FAA has agreed to use SpaceX’s Starlink internet system to manage US airspace.

Yet another contract for Elon Musk to profit from while he's slashing funding for others.

The conflict of interest is appalling.

All The Federal Lawsuits Related to Trump Admin Executive Orders We put them all in one place.

The “stop the hate” commercial featuring two celebrities who support the President who began his career by calling Mexicans rapists and whose biggest campaign donor recently gave a Hitler salute and rehired the “I was racist before it was cool” guy was….a choice.

Luke Farritor is not “letting them die”, he is actively breaking the law and withholding life saving meds from the most vulnerable.

He is actively killing people on Musk’s orders. This is a death squad.

We won’t forget his face or his crimes.

Math is hard

Brazil Charges Bolsonaro With Attempting a Coup Brazil’s attorney general charged the former president Jair Bolsonaro with trying to overturn the 2022 elections.

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Jair Bolsonaro charged over alleged far-right coup plot to seize power in Brazil Former president is charged by attorney general following police report that accused him of organising a conspiracy to stop Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva taking power.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Some pictures from today’s protest outside the U.S. Capitol. 💙

Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class struggles—yet he paints us as the enemy.

All of this — per @ioponomarenko.bsky.social:

I suspect we’re going to be hearing more stories about failing farmers having their land bought for cheep—it’s not a coincidence. Is this why USAID was cut—to make way for billionaires?!

Watch til the end and keep an eye on national parklands too.

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Right? 🤷‍♀️

On Ukraine, Europe must step into the void | Virgin

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

You’re right….. please will it be fine we chat better elsewhere than here ( I can get a follow back to I can text you properly.

Make America great again isn’t burning it down or make the people hate living ... The people around him aren’t even giving him the right advice on some issues that he’s failing to handle right.

The president is out of his mind…. He’s making things hard for people who are trying to manage life over here( the cities are looking empty with all the rubbish deportations, Trump needs to come back to his senses and realize that he’s just a president and not God.
