@fungijojo.bsky.social seen on Instagram and thought of you right away. Not sure if yiu www.instagram.com/reel/DFzQxQc...

After Trump buys a Tesla, Elon Musk wants to contribute $100 million to groups aligned with the Trump’s political operation.

Trump claims he “brought free speech back” after removing a man from exercising his free speech. #StateOfTheUnion

This is what Democracy looks like! Town meeting day across Vermont. This is my little town of Huntington.. We are voting on various bills, honoring town residents, reveiwing town expenditures & budgets, learning about the impact of federal changes on our town and so much more. And a bake sale!

Have you heard about SQLite Toolbox, my free Visual Studio extension for managing your SQLite databases, and migrating between SQL Server and SQLite? In this episode of Visual Studio Toolbox I demo the extension - and if you already use it, maybe you will discover new features

Trump’s tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China went into effect last night at midnight so here’s a reminder from Ferris Bueller on how that’s gonna go

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...

"The General Services Administration deleted 18F, a government tech consultancy that helps other agencies with their technology, early Saturday morning." Please, someone explain to me how this is supposed to be about _efficiency_? www.nextgov.com/people/2025/...

I didnt take any pics but was so proud to participate in this protest. Almost every car driving though was honking and some also had signs. There was one truck flying Trump flags but in the 2 hours I was there it is the only one I saw though he went through twice.

Vance is now waaaaaay to close to my house. We will join our Vermont friends tomorrow to share our disgust with him and the rest of the administration and our support for those they have been and will surely be harming.

Remember when Trump was just embarrassing?

Trump banned the Associated Press from the White House.

The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach. www.tsunami.gov

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

On my agenda today: FB or Instagram today (sorry all of my pottery friends) so as not to generate add revenue for Meta…

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

Watch at least the first statements from @sanders.senate.gov , @balint.house.gov and Sen. Peter Welch to get a full picture of the horror we are facing. Especially my friends outside the U.S., you'll understand how this is happening. Affects the whole world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkfV...

Attended the virtual town hall with Vermonts reps last night and it was shocking to hear how deep this is all going.

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country." The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

Read the room, Jeopardy! I know the shows are recorded three months in advance, but a Fascism category?

So Trump never really had an issue with criminals entering the country; he just wanted to skim a little off the top when they did. bsky.app/profile/atru...

JFC… who could imagine this extent of abuse?

Rather than violate their oath or comply with Musk’s illegal requests, 21 civil service employees resigned today from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (formerly the United States Digital Service), stating they would not use their technical expertise to dismantle critical public services.

DDD is about the long game. It's the daily grind, the real, often unglamorous work of building a truly robust system. You DESIGN it, you BUILD it, you RUN it! 3/3

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI
