After months of striking, some therapists with Kaiser Permanente stopped eating for five days to bring attention to their union's demands for parity with how the company's other workers are treated.
When people talk about "American Exceptionalism" they now usually mean that Americans are exceptionally bad a running a country.
A major Norwegian fuel company is refusing to provide fuel to U.S. warships after the “shitshow” in the White House yesterday over Ukraine. This is the way. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/norwegian-fu...
global newspaper headings
Papers worldwide condemn Trump, in addition Trump has lost the Daily Mail. When you lose the Daily Mail you are a global pariah.
“Trump on Friday presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history.” "A spectacle to horrify the world"
Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi just received a huge standing ovation in a Trump +5 Congressional District at Hofstra University after talking about how despicable Trump‘s behavior was in the Oval Office with Zelensky. Americans are furious.
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
Many people don’t understand Trump.
It is true he is a narcissistic fascist wannabe, but that isn’t what drives his foot-in-mouth diplomacy.
He is a pure transactionist. Relationships for him are defined by what profit is in it for him. And most of that interest is short-term thinking.
Reposted for good measure.
I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.
Grand finally!
Trump booed at the #Superbowl
Share and celebrate!
Part 4 of 11,780 😂🤣
MSM tried to cover it with cheers. Real fan videos say otherwise. MAGA KEEPS LOOSING.
GO #EAGLES!
Google Maps is malfunctioning. It is labeling oceanic locales with the wrong name. Oh well - I just deleted it. #applemaps
Spot on Ontario for airing a pro-Canadian ad during prime SuperBowl time (just before halftime). Especially given 47s tariff announcement today. Loser. #lovecanada
I’m a union member. For other members out there, why-oh-why did you think voting for the Cheeto was in your interest? How’s the National Labor Relations Board doing? #leopardsatemyface
Leon is upset people are calling Teslas

In dark times it is easy to become overwhelmed, to feel helpless. That is what your enemies want. Defy them. Deny them this, and let that be your first step toward denying them victory, and then seizing it yourself.
Good Morning! Buenos Dias!
90s paperback cover to Snow Crash, featuring a Mesopotamian arch looking into a cyberpunk city, with a dude wielding a katana.
1. I'm NOT the sort of SF/F nerd who thinks everyone needs to read a "canon" of older works in genre like they're homework before they get to call themselves a fan, nevertheless the book I'm always mildly surprised when people say they haven't read it is "Snow Crash," which to me is era-defining...
I guarantee you there are a TON of people on Medicaid who voted for trump because they never thought the leopard would eat THEIR faces.
trump's federal funding freeze is fucking everyone except the rich, closing the Medicaid portal for MILLIONS of Americans.
Don't blame US.
We voted for Kamala.
I am one of the millions of professional healthcare workers in the USA who is a permanent resident. You want instability in this industry? What do you think is going to happen?
I am a psychologist working at a major healthcare provider in Maryland. We serve over 100,000 enrollees who rely on Medicaid. Plus running numerous medical offices communities absolutely need. Not paying hospitals and healthcare providers is a moronic disaster. And probably illegal. #resist
I’m enjoying your keen observations, Mr. Cuban. We can all take note and remind ourselves not to spread unnecessary hysterical commentary. Trump is an oaf, but he is governed by greed and self-interest, nothing deeper or intelligence.
The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.
Trump is doing what you do after you acquire a company. Crazy I know. But reality. The Dir of NIH should reach out to DOGE and offer to bring them in to remove inefficiencies.
There are always some and the Director know what they are.
DOGE gets a win. NIH gets back to work.
So the Dems are aligned in using the Hegspeth allegations to oppose him. Dumb.
The man is not qualified for the job. That is all that matters. He has never managed more than 100 people. He won't be the actual one running DOD because he has no clue how.
And this is what the Dems focus on ?
Yeah … going to bed earlier with extra blankets weighing me down so I can feel toasty.
Good morning. 🥶
When everything everywhere all at once seems terrible, I always count on Pooh Bear and Piglet for the simplest explanation.
Carry on.
How much do you reckon Donald will reap in kickbacks and shady contributions? That’s what he cares about.
I spend a large portion of my professional time assessing people with developmental disabilities, especially for Autism Spectrum Disorder. It’s rewarding when I can help someone find the resources they need. *But* it isn’t always straightforward, and sometimes people find this work controversial.
