Just a reminder: ICE is terrorizing schools in Minneapolis.

They’re targeting kids.

I keep having to tell people: ICE is literally terrorizing children.

Feel this so fully today.

Kids were literally praying as they were gunns down today. Can we maybe stop pretending that thoughts and prayers are the solution now?

Okay, how long until Democratic Leadership nationally hitches their future to Musk? I’m betting a couple of weeks.

Watching South African Michael Scott and a TACO have a very public spat is just the shit the world needed.

Thank God, Pete Hegseth gave up drinking to be our defense secretary. He is doing an incredible job. Not once but twice sharing confidential classified information with the general public. It’s almost like his confirmation was a loyalty test, and nothing else. But we’re a meritocracy.

It turns out that this is what a “constitutional crisis” actually looks like.

Personally, I am shocked that the individual who promised to be a dictator turned out to be one.

So shocked.

Fuck.

Let’s face it, Schumer has been terrible even before this. It is time for new leadership. He isn’t the person for this moment in history, and the longer he clings to power the worse off we all are.

Bottom line: Democratic leadership has failed to everyone.

Everyone.

Dear Senate Democrats-

Please utilize the impending government shutdown as leverage against all of the crazy happening right now. You have power if only you would use it.

Sincerely,

Every American not in the Red Hat Cult.

All this is a lot. Take care of yourselves, my friends.

If your political party has slowly convinced you that Vladimir Putin is the good guy, and that's what you now believe, then you are probably not salvageable.

Lots of shit popping up on my social media about how we can be different politically and still be “friends.”

If you want to take away rights of folks who are transgender, women, immigrants, etc. you are NOT my friend. You are, in fact, my enemy. “Friends” don’t take away the rights of folks.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :)

Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Woke up grumpy AF. Watch out.

Fuck - and they will just keep your info forever. And sell it. And do whatever. Because this is democracy now.

Happy our president is a felon day!

Curious about the eggs…

Criminally incompetent Elon Musk claiming that social security is a “federal entitlement” illustrates how little he cares for programs that help people. And everyone with a job as paid into social security. It’s not an entitlement. It’s deferred compensation.

Also, fuck Elon Musk.

Thank goodness. I need sports and with the NFL out it’s gotta fill the itch.

Kendrick fucking slayed the halftime show.

Top 5 for me.

Thank you Minnesota State High School League for defying the King’s Proclamation by saying that Trans athletes CAN compete in their correct gender and reaffirming our commitment to equity.

Jeff Stein & @JStein WaPo A federal worker sent me audio of a call that HR did today with staff about "deferred resignation" agreements offered by DOGE ... I think this is pretty well understood by now but helps confirm what many suspect The audio goes: Employee: Lets say I accept the agreement tomorrow - you were to rescind the agreement and they were to stop paying me on Friday ... we would have no recourse available? HR official: Yes... as the agreement is outlined that is absolutely correct 11:40 AM • 2/5/25 • 168K Views

If you work for the federal government and are tempted to take Musk’s “buyout” offer please know that you’re never going to see that money.
