Chicago No Kings

I have my sign ready for tonight’s rally! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

And you just know if he showed up in a well-tailored suit, POTUS/VP/MAGA would be claiming he was stealing his country’s money to go shopping at fancy boutiques. Can’t win either way with those assholes.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

Understanding DOGE as Procurement Capture - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

I believe Musk and DOGE disbanded 18F because we stood in the way of their "procurement capture" operation. We get the government *out* of wasteful contracts. Musk wants that money back for himself.

Pete Hegseth on FOX NEWS with headline chyron that reads: Tracking Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine.

This you?

Yosemite National Park workers hang distress flag to protest Trump and Musk coming for their jobs.

Exclusive | How the Trumps Turned an Election Victory Into a Cash Bonanza The first lady’s documentary deal with Amazon, the president’s legal settlements and other transactions near $80 million so far, with the Trump library a major beneficiary.

#Grifters. Always were, always will be. Just imagine the outrage from 🦊 News and #MAGAtrolls if The Bidens or Doug and Kamala were making deals (selling garbage) like this family.

Protests Erupt At Stonewall After Trump Removes Trans People From Monument Website At least one reporter counted the attendees of the protest to number over 1,000 people.

LGB is not 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 thing👏🏻. Total fiction created by this administration. We are LGBTQ+. We are in this as one. Stonewall would not be without the T. 🏳️‍⚧️

Don’t Buy a Tesla. Sell Your Tesla. Refuse a Tesla at the Rental Counter. Yes—It Will Help. Elon Musk’s car company is in a precarious spot.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth.

Horrified…Horrified!

This is how #Trump operates…There HAS been a plan since August (Biden admin) to send a SpaceX rocket up to retrieve the astronauts. Now the orange clown is going to take credit and #MAGA / #FOXfakeNEWS will eat it up.

Trump Golf Track Tracking the number of days President Donald Trump spends his second term playing golf.

Today we launched a website to track how much orange assface plays golf. We’re guessing this thing is gonna get a workout! Bookmark it. Enjoy! More: TrumpGolfTrack.com

Whoa, I was not interested, but then I noticed that these cards are “rare”! AND it even looks like Shepard Fairey is contributing his artwork (see top left card). Think I might skip my meds this month and get these instead. What do you think???

What a ridiculous move Google. Changing it to The Gulf of America for US users??? Definitely what obeying in advance looks like. Hitler would have loved you guys. What’s next? You going to change New Mexico to New the State Next to Texas? Florida to Trumpland?

Thank you for speaking the truth. Appalling. Disgusting.

Hell is empty,
And all the devils are here.

It Is MLK Day. Do Not Despair. This Year Especially, We Have Work To Do. With delicious anticipation, we imagined it.

My MLK day piece is up.

My husband studied under George Olsen at Wooster. We have one of his prints. Thanks for sharing.

I just read the hat! 🤮🤮🤮

I have an uncontrollable desire to snap those thumbs off of their hands. So tired of seeing photos like this. 🤮

And Jr.

I lived in a foreign country for nearly 10 years and STRUGGLED to read, write and speak the language. The native speakers didn’t make fun of my lame attempts. They showed appreciation for my efforts. I will ALWAYS show the same kindness.

MAKE 👏🏻THEM👏🏻STOP👏🏻

A real photo and perfect metaphor heading into 2025.

This is so interesting. We just prepped some clear plastic containers today to do our first attempt at winter sowing. Never thought about using zip lock bags!

Love it! It was one of the bettter performers in our new #nativeplants garden this last year. The leaf color and structure made it a great contrast to other plants in our garden. We even bought more later in the season because it was so good.

We can only hope that Trump doesn’t attend the service and make it into a circus sideshow...all about him.

Please just stay at your tacky golf club in Florida.
