I'm not prone to following back big accounts. I follow back smaller accounts if you post your own thoughts and creations, or respond to others thoughtfully, or repost things that I find interesting. I want to make this an experience where I can learn something new and engage with interesting people.

@susancollins1981.bsky.social It blows my mind how many people think that I have anything to do with Susan Collins.

any and all signal boosting truly appreciated

Elon Musk’s temper tantrum lawsuits made me lose my job and then he and Chaya Raichik sent hordes of chuds to harass me and my colleagues who were also laid off. None of us have shut up, so maybe people on the Hill should also do their fucking jobs.

Secession. What they're describing is secession. www.wired.com/story/startu...

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

Trump and Musk should be asked every day how many Veterans they’ve fired.

This is some excellent good trouble

Should the US government be using your tax dollars to buy massive quantities of crypto? We asked a billionaire crypto whale who recently bought a membership to Mar-a-Lago.

When you realize the best investment you've made in your life was buying Forever Stamps.

I was just on American flight 3083, for LaGuardia. As we touched ground, the plane suddenly sped up and climbed back up. The plane strained to quickly gain altitude. After something like five harrowing minutes, the pilot finally announced, “there was a plane in the ground that was too close to us.”

More of this, please.

i am reading an analysis of john yoo’s work justifying unilateral presidential authority over foreign affairs when he was in the bush OLC, and i am once again struck by shoddy dishonesty of his output! he moves as close as you can to just making stuff up without fully crossing the line.

More Than 70 Million Americans Are on Medicaid. This Is Where They Live.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Today in Black History: On Feb. 28, 1859, the Arkansas General Assembly passed a bill that banned the residency of free Black Americans and mixed-race Blacks anywhere within the bounds of Arkansas. IOW, they had to chose between exile and enslavement. Pure evil. #BlackHistoryMonth #EconomicBoycott

Yesterday was probably the most embarrassing day of my life, and I wasn't even there. God help us.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Polish Prime Minister. This is how a leader responds.

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

Helpful info.

I could barely sit straight one month postpartum and Rep. Brittany Pettersen (CO-7) flew across the country and dressed up (probably wore heels too?!) to go vote NO on this terrible budget resolution

Fuck Marjorie Taylor Greene. And, the horseface she rode in on.
