๐ Well, looks like this is the goal.
Update: Thanks to Colorado filling a lawsuit, the funding was reinstated. Lesson for all โ FIGHT BACK!
Can you imagine being uprooted from California or Oregon and sent to the desolation of northern Wyoming with only what you can carry and completely unprepared for the howling cold winter winds? It is a brutal environment.
Tucson Border Patrol officer charged with a host of charges, most notably, child sex trafficking.
I visited Heart Mountain this month. So emotional and upsetting.
ATTN: If youโre one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). Iโll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. ๐๐ป
Truth. I used Google to find a journal article I was listed as a co-author on and was amazed to find out that I had achieved a PhD and now had a first name of Tom. Fascinating AI summary.
EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them โfunders of terrorism.โ Iโm sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely donโt repost it.

The hypocrisy is staggering and cultism. ๐คฌ
How long should we be patient? 4 years? When the next democratic president is in power and starts to fix this mess? Then Trump will say, "Look what a great job I did!"
I went to my son's school art show and one of the kids' names on the art was Swastika. I would not have noticed probably, but the art from that individual was outstanding.
So true. I had to look up when all the Central Asian "Stans" became independent from USSR (1991). And I โค๏ธ the Animaniacs!
I've been doged. IMLS grant is officially terminated.
...and they clearly mocked his hair.
Denver marching through downtown and at the Capitol. I have no idea how many people were there.
Sen. Tillis (R-N.C.) says heโs inclined to support the Grassley-Cantwell bill. Says heโs heard from constituents worried about the tariffs, esp farmers & restaurant/lodging sectors. Everyone in red states :: call your reps!!

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Considering the ongoing coup, does Musk work for Putin and Trump โ or do Putin and Trump work for Musk?

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employeesโฆ is it sinking in yet?
Many have not left the county they were born in.
I think Florida is going to really notice the difference. I worked at WDW one summer and remember how many Brazilian students visited in large groups.
This is a must-read article. Holy ๐ฉ, this is scary. The incompetence of these amateurs is going to get a lot of people killed.
Yep. Helpful words from @therickwilson.bsky.social ๐
And he stopped the Supreme Court nomination by Obama.
All of Thisโฆ
Letโs be honest, his mother in law probably isnโt living pay check to pay check like most of the recipients of Social Security are. I know many people who will not be able to purchase food, pay utilities or rent, or pay copay for medicines. Fuck Harold Lutnick every day and twice on Sunday. Asshole
Very mad
Extraordinary moment โ Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.
Trump just attacked the environmental protections that underlies the legal and scientific basis for ALL governmental action on climate. We can't let them get away with it! share.sierraclub.org/s/TjE2nPmK

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...
My husband went through similar experiences recently advocating for a family member. He said it is like having a 2nd job.
Not mentioned at the #SOTU: how cuts to USAID are affecting American farmers, by potentially undermining the billions of taxpayer dollars they receive to support conservation practices. www.wired.com/story/usda-l...
Elon Musk's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s, where they were in the German Nazi Party. They supported Hitler and then went to South Africa, a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany. Musk was an anti-semite and an apartheid lover.
So now Musk IS the leader of DOGE? I thought it was Amy Gleason.

Dear God.
Still hard to believe we voted for fascism with unemployment at 4.2%, the strongest performing economy in the rich world, & inflation, at 2.4% PCE in Nov 2024, closer to target than 85% of the months since we established it in 2012: bsky.app/profile/mcop.... Verily, a marvel of political economy.
Let's keep an eye on this. Will Trump's government lie to us as they delete employees from the federal workforce?
I reviewed the White House visitor center since one cannot review the White House.
Since Google won't let us review and correct the Gulf of Mexico, should we review the White House next?
I call her Botox Border Barbie. She definitely got all the maga-lago cosmetic procedures, but the neck doesn't lie. Her photos circa 2011 show how fake she is now, inside and out.
Spring break is right around the corner. Chances are at least one child travels to Florida and superspreads measels across Disney World and Universal Studios and then the outbreaks will spread across the nation unchecked.
After 45 started an insurrection. I hate what he is doing to my country.
Happy Black History month. Unbelievable. www.npr.org/2025/02/05/n...
Should all the Dems in congress go to the Potomac or Reagan National and have a press conference? Highlight Trump's actions and their potential impact?
Or an ottoman. Love BNL! ๐ต
That sounds fascinating.
I've been working on a grant funded by IMLS (not pure science) that is helping develop new tools and systems involving GIS and data flows to innovate how we track new plant acquisitions which may help inform plant conservation activities in the future.
I'm not on Twitter so responding here on the impact of federal grants being frozen. As a PI on an IMLS grant and coworker of others with grants in progress, this is chaos and creates uncertainty in the non profit world where we are just trying to do projects that will benefit the museum industry.
If you haven't listened to @muellershewrote.bsky.social 's "Daily Beans" podcast, you should. Today she and @johnfugelsang.bsky.social discussed the hypocrisy of Right-wing faux Christians in the wake of Bishop Mariann Budde's quoting the actual words of Jesus to Turnip. A+ www.dailybeanspod.com
The so-called president released 100s of his violent J6 convicts from prison. So much for caring about public safety. May the bishop's voice ring loud and clear and for much longer than the convicted rapist in chief.
Does it matter that Trump wants to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico? Probably not. Keep your ๐ on the bigger picture - withdrawal from WHO and firing all federal DEI staff.

We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life & history, there is such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action. ~MLK Jr

Is that a print or did you patchwork that design? Amazing either way!
I always smile at this song from Monty Python's Life of Brian: Always Look on the Bright Side of Life!๐ "If life seems jolly rotten There's something you've forgotten And that's to laugh & smile and dance & sing." 4 years will just fly by, right? Well, at least we have each other. ๐Love y'all!๐

Someone here knows someone who can make this happen on Inauguration Day! Please: post this on any BLUE acct of any well-known musician, actor, producer, etc. here on Bluesky. A great way to honor Present Carter. A great way to resist and say, "We won't bend, we won't acknowledge, we won't allow!"

I've done that at Costco.
It's arguably worse than this. Trump is claiming his threat of tariffs caused a Mexican crackdown on migrants traveling to our border that was already happening and that was secured through Biden's diplomacy without any threats. As predicted last week... newrepublic.com/article/1888...
