So far the two governors showing spine on COVID vaccines are NY and MA. Bet you more are coming.
ERP software by day. Shiba Inu wrangling, baking, jazz dancing, beginner guitar otherwise. Rooting for Ukraine, democracy, and people not being shit to each other.

So why are you giving clicks to the Daily Wire, a right wing news site that agrees with these policies?
This is not worth a story, come on. As a tech focused publication you know AI doesn’t have fucking consciousness.
IGNORING A COURT SUMMONS WILL ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE. If you receive a summons, CALL A LAWYER IMMEDIATELY. There are resources for people who cannot afford lawyers. For people in Illinois, I'm one of them!
I am so relieved. Hoping she is doing it because it’s right, but also glad I called to beg her to do it.
Timeline cleanse
This is happening in New England too.
Very common in MA. Not an easy place to find community. My friends here are mostly from other places.
“Everyone is gonna die” not a winning thing to say to your constituents apparently. Who knew?
Fighting back works.
Just saw Honey Don’t. Somehow with all these utterly amazing actors it was not good.
Co-sign!!!!
The Wisdom of the UnderPants Elves lives on.
A federal appeals court blocked the Trump administration’s plans to end protections for 600,000 people from Venezuela who have had permission to live and work in the U.S.
Why is Vance suddenly all over my timeline today rather than Trump?
Gee I wonder why this particular man was targeted. Can’t put my finger on it.
Hey @lorennacleary.bsky.social is this out of touch?
Hey @lorennacleary.bsky.social this still out of touch?
The #FEMA36 didn’t stay quiet when lives were on the line. They spoke out & were punished for it. Now it’s our turn to stand up for them. Sign your support here 👉 www.standupforscience.net/fema-katrina... thanks @rbreich.bsky.social for amplifying! #standupforscience #sufs #31daysofaction
Over 125 economists signed the open letter calling on the President, Congress, and the American public to uphold the principles of Federal Reserve independence and not remove Lisa Cook without due process. There's still time to sign! And please share. #EconSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
Love this version
Feel this deeply.
I am a constituent of hers, there is no effing way I’d say she is the “most out of touch politician.” You seem to be using her mediocre social media posts rather than looking at what she is actually doing/saying live. Yes her socials need an upgrade. But to say she’s out of touch isn’t fair.
Thanks for the additional lecture on proper posting and competence needs. As a woman in the Internet this is so new for me. Now go away.
I just said I worked in tech and you proceeded to explain to me about AI.
Thank you. I needed this today.
I work in Big Tech and I can reassure you that no one is thinking this BECAUSE AI IS NOT A LIVING THING.
Stopping crime one felony at a time
We know and coming from someone calling themselves Jorkus Smellington makes it even more humiliating. So thanks for that.
I'm one of the 37 targeted below by DNI Tulsi Gabbard. I haven't had a clearance nor worked in government since 2013. This is political theater & a dangerous example of government abusing its powers to punish private citizens for openly exercising their 1st Amendment rights. My full statement:
I think it is because he is targeting Black people specifically. Especially women.
And yet the Republicans love what he’s doing apparently.
I was in college in NYC during Dinoins and he was kind of meh. It was never clear what he actually accomplished. It was a tough time as AIDS and crack were both spreading just as the homeless problem was getting worse due to Reagan era policies. He never seemed very fired up to fix things.
It was soooo good. Made me miss it again as well as other alt papers like the Boston Phoenix.
It is a specific kind of racism by the mainstream media that they are not calling any of this out. It is so obvious if you look at whom they are targeting. They want to silence Black people for daring to thrive and call out injustice.
Her definition of what “appropriate”even means is likely not what most people think it is.
Denial. Fear. The fact that we are so spread out and no longer have a national media.
I would eat this every day
It is very hard to square that we are sliding deeper into authoritarianism every day with the mundane stuff of daily life.
I hate this guy but he deserves due process because of, you know, the Constitution and stuff.
Putin demands for Ukraine: 1. Give up all of Donbas 2. No NATO membership, ever 3. No Western troops in Ukraine 1. No 2. Fuck no 3. Eat a dick www.reuters.com/world/china/...
“Hitler may have killed 6 million people but he did get the trains to run on time again. Also, he was a vegetarian and loved children.”
This is a really good idea.
Seems like he slunk away to his hole.
There isn’t one official type of dictatorship. Russia is not the only dictatorship in the world. But legal residents of the US are being snatched off the street, elected officials who are overwhelmingly Black are being targeted for lawful actions, and companies are being told how to do business.
What are you getting out of this argument? Because it looks like you are trying to both sides a Black American with an Oppression Contest.
Doesn’t this say they are not getting enough willing recruits for ICE? They already removed the age limit.
It is very obvious.
What a genius. True statesman right there. Barf.
Huge respect to a National Guard soldier who is putting his career on the line to defend the American Constitution: "Seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is."
They aren’t even doing that. The level of incompetence and lack of experience would be unheard of in a lemonade stand let alone successful large business.
This is a document for the ages. Thank you Mayor Wu.
Takes guts
It's wild to see "Never let them take you to a second location" play out publicly against elected Black representatives while people go about their lives, but this is EXACTLY why Rep. Nicole Collier refused to normalize her own captivity.
He looks completely stoned out of his gourd in this photo.
Flock is an evil evil company and deserves to fail.
This will come to a surprise for the large Ukrainian population here, their families elsewhere in the world, and businesses that rely on Ukraine for offshore IT services.
BOBBY “THE QUACK” JR, AS MANY CALL HIM, IS KILLING AMERICA!!! THE PEOPLE ARE CALLING FOR HIS BIG BEAUTIFUL IMPEACHMENT, HUGE DELIVERY TO CONGRESS IN SEPTEMBER— BY YOUR FAVORITE ACTIVIST GROUP, US — THAT WILL BE DEVASTATING FOR 'MAGA.' THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
Wonder what Foxnews would be talking about all day this week if Obama had done this?
That is a criminal act.
He had freaking Fiona Hill and Marie Yovanovich the first time around, both stars, and now he has Rubio and various clowns who don’t speak Russian. Disaster.
These guys are such complete pussies.
this makes me viscerally angry going to be out there with my camera every day until this is over
London, Amsterdam, New York, Montreal, Istanbul
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
It is a surprisingly widespread misconception and speaks to the snake oil sales tactics of their leadership. And the lack of probing by the mainstream press.
The weirdest thing about Trump deploying the National Guard to the Nation's Capital is that he still hasn't released the Epstein files despite campaigning on that pledge, probably because he's directly complicit in a massive sex trafficking operation that targeted children.
Also saying “dems never innovate” is just lazy and frankly untrue. The Affordable Care Act rollout was a mess and imperfect but it happened. Elizabeth Warren established the CFPB which has save billions for consumers. Obama found the US Digital Service which DOGE wrecked.
I don’t understand what you are looking to accomplish with your posts. It would help if you could back up any of your claims with research from actual economists. I am willing to listen but you alone are not credible as a source on how tax incentives work. What is the data?
And to cede territory to a nice mustache and beard
When I say “technology” I mean a notebook and a pen.
It’s also great for comedy which in these times is such a balm. Check out Motherland, Would I Lie to You (game show which David Mitchell as co-host), and of course the incomparable Absolutely Fabulous.
No pierogi for you!
Dakota was a great recommendation. Her imitation of Antonio Banderas had me howling
Noted for my trip home today!
I just did a car trip and listened to several episodes continuously and felt so happy after listening. She is so genuinely interested in people and is an amazing interviewer. Idris Elba is goofy! Natasha Lyonne reads about quantum physics!
This is horrific and accountability needs to come.
Also he could have answered his own question if he had considered the verb “spray-painted.”
I am struggling to see Vance in any sort of mediation role whatsoever.
Welp let’s see how this holds up. I’m not holding my breath.
Lmao
Reading this the day after RFK said he’s pulling half a bill in vaccine research is a mood.
So easy - let’s jam up the message box.
The thing about this is that the Epstein files are still scaring the shit out of him so he’s trying to distract the media with this shit. Since it tends to work most of the time.
It’s because they are put together by marketers who don’t have survey research skills, would be my guess. I also would not be surprised if this is verbatim what a chatbot spat out and it was just used without any checking.
They threatened to leave MA too and I don’t believe that has happened at all.
This is why Donald is crying about Elizabeth Warren.
I have also mostly gone off meat. It just doesn’t appeal to me. I used to love a good steak and now no way.
Howling at this. She is a freaking treasure.
No they are innocent!
They didn’t learn anything from the cartoon people with no legs, did they
It seems like someone whose role is to replace the former with the latter because that is somehow a business model
Never thought that knowledge of Soviet history would feel relevant to living in the USA in 2025 but here we are.
Folks who won't be fooled by politicized official economic statistics: - The Fed - The bond market - The stock market - Foreign investors Folks who will be flying blind in the absence of reliable econ data: - All of the above - Small biz - Big biz - Voters
That someone in her role thinks this is an appropriate thing to do, and so clever that she announces it in this forum, is just so fricking scary.
But I thought tariffs would bring back “good American jobs”
