I had a dream that I was taking a quiz and the first question was whether I could name the last 5 digits of pi. No, I cannot.

Once again, thank you @bennet.senate.gov this was 🔥! This is what we need from every Senator and Congress person. They need to be held accountable for this.
Bennet: Did you know the President’s Middle East advisor was in Moscow on this thread? This sloppiness, this incompetence, this disrespect for our intelligence agencies and the personnel who work for him is entirely unacceptable. It's an embarrassment

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Unwelcome in Denver, unwelcome at The Antlers, unwelcome anywhere in Colorado. It deeply offends me that the GOP thinks my city is a safe haven for the far right. If Venu is unwilling to cancel, join us in protest on the day of the event.

This is a US court of law, refusing to bar illegal actions of the Executive branch out of an explicit concern that its agents will react with deadly force.
Wow. Judge Howell is worried that if she orders DOGE to leave the USIP building it could turn into an “armed standoff” over unwillingness to vacate, and points out law enforcement has shown willingness to help DOGE. Asks if we’ll need foreign mediators to come in.

Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.
