We've reduced intelligence to what people can do with computers, which is fueling the current hype cycle.

I want the t-shirts, the posters, the sepia prints, the velvet portrait, the trapper keepers, the lunch boxes, the I-phone covers.

Rep @algreen.house.gov is an American patriot.

A month ago, Trump was at the height of his power and popularity.

Today, Trump is facing mounting backlash and Republicans are hiding from constituents.

We need to keep this pressure up. Find a group near you: indivisible.org/groups

Or let us help: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

We cannot fix everything by fighting back, but we won’t fix anything unless we try.

Just walking around #SanFrancisco today. Just sitting there, waiting for me to take its picture…

These guys did a great job! Glad they could take time away from destroying our democracy to show up…

Alina Habba: This is what we're about. We're running this county like President Trump runs the Trump Organization. Like Elon Musk running X. That's what we're doing.

I occasionally dabble in watercolors.

A watercolor painting of a skull acting as a vase for dead sunflowers. The background is a rainbow Starscape.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

Last existential post of the day I promise but this is a good thread.

I think it's good to remind ourselves that as big as the federal government is, it's still not actually that big.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · Feb 1

i think this should be factored into how states, counties, localities and hospitals respond to these executive orders. "we will investigate you if you teach DEI." okay, with what agents, specifically? with what state capacity?

Quinta Jurecic @qjurecic.bsky.social · Feb 1

NYT reported that the number of potentially affected agents is as high as 6k. The bureau has about 13.7k agents total

Can we clarify this means physical, mental, dental, eyes, everything?

Comprehensive heathcare is what we want.
