At my elementary school, ALL fundraisers are $1. No kids carry change.

If a goon squad of masked federal agents bursts down your down door with no warrant or warning, does the constitution say you’re allowed to shoot them? I know what the GOP would say if Joe Biden was doing this!

Also, where is the NRA?

Maybe “gun rights” only apply to conservatives?

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God. Thank God we have video. Because according to DHS, these 7 heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against him or something. It's nonsense, people. It is nonsense and it's lies."

ICE Agents Have Shot and Killed Another Person in Minneapolis The police chief confirmed a 37-year-old man had "multiple" gunshot wounds, was a Minneapolis resident, and was believed to be a U.S. citizen.

@dropsitenews.com has obtained a new video of the shooting. Audio in the video captures someone shouting, “He’s got a gun, he’s got a gun, he’s got a gun,” followed by another voice saying, “No the fuck I don’t,” immediately before the gunshots.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Newborn babies exposed to measles in Texas hospital Infants barely three days old are receiving antibody injections to help protect against the virus. Nearly 300 cases have been reported in the outbreak.

"Hospital staff are scrambling with damage control efforts implementing emergency masking policies and giving babies as young as 3 days old injections of immunoglobulin, an antibody that helps their fragile immune system try to fight off #measles."

Walz: There’s nothing conservative about an unelected South African nepo baby firing people at the VA.

Reading allows us to see and understand the world to the eyes of others. A good book is an empathy engine, Chis Riddell UK children’s laureate. An image of a girl reading a book to a little boy on a couch with lots of books around them. It is a black and white ink drawing.

So excited for day 2! This has been a fantastic conference! #msla2025

We should all be taking action against this

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Here’s an excellent old school video on how to establish a relationship with your elected officials & lobby them more effectively.* In my four decades in Washington, this is the best “how to” lobbying video I’ve ever seen. I’ve used it to train activists across the country.

* Your results may vary.

Not really sure what part of democracy uses a chain saw.

I think the part where you dismantle it?

Anyway.

Flashing lights, large screens ablaze with animated graphics reminiscent of the oughties. The CPAC logo spins around as generic rap-rock blasts across the crowd. Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for the DOGE update. Please welcome Newsmax host, Rob Schmitt. Schmitt: Man. That is a big crowd. And they are not here for me. Crowd cheers. Schmitt: How you guys doing? Nice vibe this month, right? After the best month we’ve ever had. Nice to see you. Thanks for coming out. It’s good to see you. Let’s not kill any more time, let’s bring out Elon Musk. Crowd goes wild. Elon Musk enters stage, pumping both fists high in the air, walking slightly unsteadily. He is wearing a black MAGA baseball cap and sunglasses that look like they were bought in a gas station in 1989. He continues to pump his fists as he makes his way in front of the beige arm chairs at the front of the stage. Rob Schmitt attempts to get his attention, but he turns and waves at the crowd. Schmitt: We’ve got one more surprise, in case this wasn’t enough.

Musk: Well, President, uh, President Milei has a gift for me. Schmitt: [hamming at camera] Javier Milei from Argentina, you guys know who that is, right? Milei, a friendly-looking figure who resembles Bilbo Baggins right before he Smeagolifies, enters the stage carrying a chainsaw. He presents the chainsaw to the billionaire, who then waves it around unsteadily. Musk: This… is… the chainsaw for bureaucracy. [pumps the chainsaw in the air] CHAINSAAAW!

He takes a beat to examine the chainsaw. He is still wearing his sunglasses. He turns around and starts wandering to the other side of the stage, waving the chainsaw around. Musk: Uwaaauwaargh! Milei lurks awkwardly in the background, trying to wave goodbye to Musk, before Schmitt takes notice. Schmitt: Mr. President, thank you so much. Nice to meet you. I love it. We love it. Musk’s attention snaps to Milei. The two men shake hands with the Argentinian president, who then departs.

elon musk at cpac was so fucking weird you guys I know this reads like a parody but I literally just wrote down what happened www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

This is terrifying. For the first time, I’ve really had to start wondering if my family needs an escape plan.

Repost this if you agree Elon and DOGE should be SUED!

Lovely snowy morning here in MA. Had to do a bit of coop maintenance, but I honestly enjoyed it. #snowyday #backyardflock #findingjoy

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?

DON'T DO IT.

If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.

Document, document, document.

Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

I know that there are and have been lots of conversations around the topic of YA ages for years. Lots of points of view. I just want teen books to be for teens. And to cover the full spectrum from 13 to 18.
