Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.
Shoot them all. Every single ICE agent.
Good morning, creatives! May this weekend be productive for you.

I didn't have time to say hi after your excellent presentation, Jen. We met 3 or 4 Red Pencils ago, when it was at Bastyr. I think we were at the same table at lunch? I remember being so envious of your team at Aspect, way ahead of my own at HDR (which is better now, but love the survey ideas!). Thx
Brittany Yost's Sensitivity or Censorship: How Editors Address Bias presentation was amazing @ #edsguildredpencil2025
real shit situation considering we dont have much else other than corporate media.
Now this…is not good.
A play in two acts.
Oh.
The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Pop Crave (@PopCrave ). The tweet reads: "Costco sees a gain in foot traffic for a 13th consecutive week after sticking with its DEL initiatives." Below the text, there is an image of the Costco Wholesale logo, which features the word "COSTCO" in red and "WHOLESALE" in white with blue lines above it, all on a blue background. The Pop Crave logo, consisting of a yellow and orange circle with the text "POP CRAVE," is displayed at the top left of the tweet.
They have our business!
So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.
“If we cannot speak out against our government, against corporations, and if we’re criminalized and penalized for speaking out, then we are living in an authoritarian state and regime, and this is not a free country,” Costa said. “This is not a democracy if we can’t do that.”

Click that photo of the capitol building (Denver, CO). A progressive political agenda that centers empathy -- care for people in our community and the planet - is the way to win and fight back against the cruelty of fascism.
This is performative nonsense of “hardcore” tech nincompoops. They could put people in nearby hotels or Airbnbs for a lot less. It’s all cosplaying intense workaholism for the cheap seats and all for PR. Sleeping bags at work is simply dumb www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
You first.
Here’s my pep talk after studying authoritarianism:
1). They never truly expect a long-term resistance movement bc they think people are a collection of trauma triggers who are easily controlled thru terror
2). If they can’t terrorize you 24/7 in your mind, they have already lost the war
We have a muskrat that shows up every year at our apple tree to gather up apples. We named him Elon 😂
We've had a hard week, and while we try to go high, tonight we are looking to vent some petty rage. What's your favorite name for the DOGE cronies? Dogebags? Shitler youth? Traitor tots?
Whatcha got, fam?

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 📚
If you're on Medicare, probably makes sense to get what procedures you need done now. I know that sounds alarmist. But these are the people who administer Medicare getting the axe.
“Delays in data create dangerous situations on the front line,” said an emergency room physician in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.
How do we close out a Valentine’s Day such as this. By saying we’re proud. Only 423 of us took the fork offer. And while Trump and Musk slashed 1 in 10 of us this week, others found a way to keep on working. Because unlike them, we take our oaths seriously. Take time to grieve. Don't give up hope. 🥄
This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ?
And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions !
We all look forward to reading your thoughts
Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed.
Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly.
Yet another reason he must be rejected.
