Any Democrat who pivots to bashing a minority to try to regain power belongs in a wood chipper

I can’t deal with this shit much more so I’ll try to send one post on this: shut the fuck up about repositioning yourself to being meaner to trans kids and people, that is not why Republicans won a presidential popular vote this year. If your position is “well, it was a factor,” ok even if it Were…

Yeah, all good 😀

Poor little guy probably had to fend off some Australian nightmare like a spider that rips off its own face and throws it at you, injecting you with venom while you're frozen in horror

Wombat rescue underway because apparently I am not allowed a relaxing wet Saturday morning? Wombat is injured, smells like rot, and Bonorong has been called. Waiting for wildlife rescuers with big cages to show up.

I got lost in a strange wombat's burrow. It had everything. Comfy couches. Food trucks. A three legged armadillo. The Starbucks lady. A lamp shaped like like Charlie Murphy with Unity on the forehead.

But for serious, I've effectively cut out all social media

There were protesters outside the tesla dealership in Plano. Only two, but it still pleasantly caught me by surprise

Oh, is there an election today?

This week?

This month?

No?

Then your "call to action" is pointless.

Democracy is a verb. Get to it

NO KINGS is extremely effective because it’s simple, an extremely widely held belief, and gets right to the core of Trump’s assault without having to use words lots of people don’t understand

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?

JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here

TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?

JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law

T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

When you're too fascist for the far-right. Yikes

The head of France's far-right party canceled the speech he was supposed to give at CPAC today, saying he was canceling because of what he himself called Steve Bannon's "gesture that referenced nazi ideology":

When your leadership is being shitty, you should let them know, else they'll continue to be shitty

Remember when Elon fired that Icelandic guy Halli who had a massive golden parachute, so he had to backtrack rapid time?

These people (Musk, Trump, all their shitfucks) never learn because they never suffer real consequences.

2021 was the chance to do just that. But, nooooo

Another way this feels similar to COVID — the disaster is already unfolding but the people in charge seem to think it’ll only impact “blue” areas.

Siva @sivav.bsky.social · Feb 18

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA.

The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

Does Elon know that?

Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney.bsky.social · Feb 18

NEWSY: The White House confirms tonight that Elon Musk is NOT the administrator of DOGE and is not even technically part of it.

He's a "senior adviser to the president" like Anita Dunn, they say. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🚨🚨🚨 Elon Musk's DOGE hacks are "seeking access to a heavily-guarded Internal Revenue Service system that includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country" per @washingtonpost.com

Time for Democratic Leaders to get to IRS offices now.
