Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Stop purchasing from the oligarchs

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history: In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun." The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen. So they refused to announce a winner🤡

ACCURATE.

I’m not calling it the Gulf of America

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

DC hotels still have capacity. Top restaurants are still taking reservations. Popular bars aren’t extending their hours. Yeah… starting to think cold wasn’t the reason why they moved the inauguration inside lol

"We need to call privatization what it is: adding a profit tax onto a public good. A public post office puts all its resources toward delivering mail. A privatized post office will divert a large chunk of its income to shareholders. In what universe is that better?" @snmrrw.bsky.social

it's weird that people are homicidally angry at corporate America when a CEO hired four months ago fires the entire workforce of a 40-year-old company five days before Christmas with no severance and no benefits www.cnn.com/2024/12/20/b...

Mad yet?

"We will forever be grateful for the unconditional time she gave to us, to all her literary children across the writerly world," said Kwame Alexander in the statement on the renowned Nikki Giovanni’s death

The United States has the highest GDP in the world by *ten trillion dollars*. It's not even close. Americans should retire at 60 w/ full pension. We should have free universal healthcare. We should have free PreK-PhD education. This belt-tightening ideology is a neurotoxin limiting our potential.

Why don’t journalists ever respond to Trump by saying, “What you just said is nonsense. You don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.” What he said about birthright citizenship today was garbage but it seems like Welker was trying to feed him answers instead of confronting his ignorance.

i have plenty of thoughts on why it matters that this is an illegal order but here i’ll just comment that i think liberals who throw their hands up and say “it doesn’t matter” have self lobotomized themselves into thinking that trump is god king of america

If you are in Oklahoma or know others that are with school age children, please pass this along to them. Defense of Democracy created opt-out forms for Ryan Walter’s forced bible instruction. Let’s keep getting in good trouble! #EduSky #Resist kfor.com/news/oklahom...

Former Florida AG Pam Bondi received a $25,000 donation from the Donald J. Trump Foundation and four days later, she announced that the state of Florida wouldn’t pursue a legal case about Trump University. And that’s who Trump wants for our AG now. Fucking delightful.

It is worth noting that Matt Gaetz pulled out of AG consideration, not because fellow Republicans told him they couldn't support someone who raped and gave drugs to underage girls, but because CNN told him that more accusations were forthcoming.

Trump's education secretary nominee once said she had an education degree. She doesn't. You cannot make this junk up. Trump's cabinet will be filled with liars, sexual assaulters, puppy killers, Russian assets, and a man who claims a worm ate his brain. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

@bknyman.bsky.social I was just looking for you on here!

Florida and Iowa recorded the highest number of book bans during the 2023-24 school year, with over 4,500 book bans in Florida and over 3,600 in Iowa.

No matter what happens, he's STILL a convicted felon. FOREVER.

i love DC. 😂

A while ago I saw a “bookcase hack” using egg cartons to raise the back row of double stacked shelves. I’ve been saving egg cartons accordingly but it turns out I don’t eat enough eggs to get this done before the end of time, so I found some castoff wood lengths and OMG. LIFE CHANGING, Book Peeps!!
