This is why it’s important to record, broadcast and share these abductions whenever possible.

As in BLM, the disconnect between what “most Americans” think is happening and what is actually being done in their name is severe.

But when it finally breaks through, the effects will be significant.

thank goodness Chuck Schumer didn’t shut down the government otherwise these employees would lose their jobs!
Hearing from all corners of HHS this morning about a total bloodletting — firings of scientists, analysts and many more as delayed RIFs take effect.

Many folks didn’t see early AM email and showed up, only to be turned away when badges didn’t work. Was sent this photo of long lines at one HHS site.

March 24, 2025: It is with a heavy heart I announce the end of The Cucarach, 2013 Honda Crosstour. The memories made in that car will never be forgotten; the road trips around Texas, the loud singing, the fun with friends, and going fast. 1/2

By the way it's still Gulf of Mexico on Wikipedia since the policy is to use recognizable names over "official" names (same reason there's no "William Jefferson Clinton" article). Gulf of America isn't even mentioned as an alt name! There was a ~25k word debate about it last week though of course

Today I counted more than 50 subreddits that went through with banning links from X, reaching more than 40 million combined members. At least 20 million of those members were encouraged to join Bluesky, instead.

More than 50 Reddit communities ban X links to protest Musk
The cascade of link bans came after Musk made a hand gesture at a Monday rally that many compared to a Nazi salute, which many cited in their protests, among other things.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

On TikTok right now. Working fine for me. Don't know what you guys are talking about. Watching the livestream of the Amulet That Contains All Answers. Can't believe you all are missing this, tbh, I no longer contain earthly problems.

New Marist poll: Trump starts with a net-negative favorability rating, 44% favorable, 49% unfavorable. This destroys the idea Trump has a mandate. Wish Democratic leaders would see these polls and realize Trump is not popular. Stop talking common ground and start fighting!

Just in: TikTok says it plans to shut itself down Sunday unless Biden publicly pledges non-enforcement. TikTok wants everyone to be sure Biden is to blame, which conveniently also curries favor with Trump.

annual reminder to not ruin the thanksgiving meal by bringing up politics

ruin the meal by telling your family you don't know half of them half as well as you should like and like less than half of them half as well as they deserve, then vanishing while they try to figure out what you meant

having exactly (1) day out of the year where every amateur chef in America attempts to cook a giant bird and not fuck it up is, honestly, a wonderful and hilarious tradition
