As Trump and Musk attack each other, don't forget: their ongoing DOGE cuts have made your life worse.

It doesn't matter who wins the Trump-Musk feud.

Thanks to them, millions of Americans have already lost crucial public services. youtu.be/M5LD2CSOzmI?...

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Hockey content feels niche on Bluesky, so ... stick taps to the couple dozen of y'all who appreciate this.

Someone put up a "Hockey Hall of Lame" placard on Gretzky's Hall of Fame display, commemorating recent, er, accomplishments by "the Great Once."

@governorferguson.bsky.social, please take steps to protect the citizens of Washington state. We need you.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker plans to sign an executive order preventing state agencies from obtaining or disclosing data that personally identifies people with autism, unless required for medical care or legal matters.

Your daily reminder that the U.S. Postal SERVICE is a service that is designed to benefit taxpayers and not a business that should be expected to turn a profit.
NEW: The U.S. Postal Service posted a net loss of $3.3 billion in this fiscal year’s second quarter mainly due to “significant challenges out of our control,” including workers’ compensation costs, Luke Grossmann, USPS chief financial officer, said at the open session of the governing board meeting

seeing the “pretty privilege” discussion unfold on my tl again and what’s so frustrating about it is that it’s a discussion of a symptom, not systemic analysis. “conventional attractiveness” sits at the nexus of race, gender, and ability. let’s talk about that instead pls

You know, the thing they said they weren't gonna do after all. Is happening. And is pretty much a HIPAA nightmare and a Nazi first step.

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion. 

Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts.

And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B.

We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

for the people in the driver's seat of the right wing cultural movement, an end to "DEI" always meant doing things like sending free money to a white lady who called a child the n word. sorry if you thought it was about a slightly annoying HR webinar you once had to watch or whatever.

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments.

If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

🚨 On May 1, 2025, in cities across the US, we will gather in solidarity—honoring the legacy of workers who organized for the 8-hour day.

Today, we face a new threat. A billionaire-backed minority is quietly reshaping our democracy.

The White House Easter Egg Roll is sponsored by Amazon, Google, and Meta — who are all being sued by the federal government for antitrust violations.

It's the first time the event has had corporate sponsors.

Everything is for sale under Trump — and Big Tech wants to cash in.
