This administration wants fewer rules for their private business dealings but more control over public education. The attack on higher learning is deliberate, and it’s dangerous. The attack on intellectual freedom clearly shows a heightening authoritarian regime. #Harvard
I should have made more AOCs.
GDP projections went from a projected 2.3% increase to -2.8% decrease (source: GDPNow, Atlanta Fed)
Trade war tariffs went into effect. The last Trump tariff impact of 2018 shrunk the GDP by 0.2%. And by now we should all recall Smoot Hawley tariff impacts. History matters.
DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.
Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.
See how this works?
On Tuesday, 21 DOGE employees resigned. NPR spoke to one of them who says she felt the new administration was causing "harm to the American people."
Time to go report systemic racism in all ultra red zip codes on this handy little website.
If anyone has recommendations, LMK. Otherwise, brb going to get carpal tunnel blasting those zip codes on this horrific effort led by oligarchs and nepo babies.
Can we just pause and unpack this URL?
“Unpack diversity, equity, and inclusion”?? And yall are PROUD of this? Proud to let students feel lesser than due to things outside of their control? Proud to limit opportunities for students on IEPs? Absolutely not okay. Shameful work, @usedgov.bsky.social
Tom Hamon is going to learn really quick why the American Revolution was successful. It started in Boston and up here, they don’t let any arrogant and useless monarchy-idealizing dictator pull rank on the people of the city. The people of Boston will end the Border Czar’s campaigns quickly
Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

It makes it much easier for those in power to control “facts,” media, and messaging, as they know a significant portion of the populace lacks the ability to question or research the validity of moves. That’s why the ability to read has historically seen attempts at restriction
When you realize 21% of American adults are functionally illiterate, of which 65%+ of those are native English speakers born in the United States for those who are going to make that claim, everything about this unconstitutional power grab begins to make a lot more sense.
There’s something happening in this country.
People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552.
Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.
A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life:
Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky
Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚
Rereading Fahrenheit 451, and the blood cleaning machine m connected in a new way. Instead of treating the cause of the “8-9 calls a night” for suicide attempts, they clean the blood quickly w/o doctor. Narcan parallels? Great product, but we can’t give up on solving the cause. #booksky
Hey Canada, can you start talking about taking in the northeast also? New England/Midatlantic ought to do it. Not forever, more like fostering us until the US can get through this weird puberty-like phase. I’ll go all in on Tim Hortons, it’s not a problem. Plz save us. Thanks. 🇨🇦
How do yall watch new episodes so fast and update the Wikipedia all within one minute of an episode dropping? But also don’t stop bc I need a spoiler #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUS
The Kendrick performance is unreal with the artistry and delivery. Watch it again and see what your take is. It truly feels like you’re in a short film taking it all in when it stands alone - absolutely incredible. I wish he was on tour right now, this is too good.
If you see a bunch of Nazi flag wavers and are unwilling to stop and confront them risking getting your ass kicked, 291,500 dead American troops are screaming from their graves in Europe about chicken shits! I salute my black brothers for defending America!
That was the most radical half time show I've ever seen. They said America will kill you, America is a game, and the revolution will be televised bahahah
Great point.
You mean to tell me, the artist behind..
- Alright
- King Kunta
- How Much a Dollar Cost
- F* Your Ethnicity
- Institutionalized
- & basically his entire body of work
Has ultra-white MAGA rage-posting dissatisfaction? Get used to it, that’s the point. You are not everyone
I have never felt more strongly about not caring at all about the game, just give me this Kendrick halftime show 🎶 #AppleMusicHalftime
Actually, that is precisely what the legislative branch is supposed to do.
Good. This is important as much as many of us find Elon repulsive, he and Trump act in hopes of public support. Applauding him and sharing our support of that move is prudent.
Somewhat like training a dog or a toddler, I suppose.
Don’t say we were overreacting. This is EXACTLY what we were afraid of. GOP friends, this is what you used to stand against.
America was built w/ checks & balances intentionally. The Trump/Vance wish to turn the USA into an unchecked authoritative dictatorship is now in the open
Until we solve for those we will always be a country divided. If you look historically, the electorate typically voted in alignment with only a few outliers. Pop vote still would be tight but more case of a true unified win across the country. Now we are built for division & must solve that first
