The Trump administration has required that all communications and social media posts from federal agencies undergo prior approval before being shared. This directive is currently in effect until the end of the month.

It would be a shame if you downloaded this image and started posting it in MMA and gymbro groups.

Don’t post this in group chats with your buddies who “aren’t political”.

If I see this printed out and wheat pasted across Austin TX I’ll be very upset.

So much is out of control. So much is beyond my control. Today, though, i get a snow day. So what can I control? Forget the gym, stay in bed with my books, a somehow continually full glass of reading wine, and a smidge of social media. Learning to rest has been hard. Resting today had been so good.

Honored to be selected as Vice Ranking Member of Oversight Committee(Democrats) with my friend Rep. Gerry Connolly.

We'll be checking Trump's power & shining a light on every attack on our rights and freedoms.

We didn't play in the 118th & we're not about to start now.

Buckle up, buttercup.

I had to check, John Fetterman, who literally wears the star of david as a fucking cape, has not tweeted about the Elon Hitler salute. He has only posted about voting for border control and congratulating Marco Rubio for becoming secretary of state.
I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

every time I made a post about project 2025 on TikTok or Instagram before Election Day, my comments were flooded by people who were either MAGA or Jill Stein bots who would spout the exact same talking points about how it wasn’t going to happen and this was fear mongering.

We told you so.
President-elect Trump and his allies disavowed the conservative Project 2025 during the election.

Now, his transition team is turning to Project 2025 to help staff the next administration, sources tell @nbcnews.com.

Well, isn’t that convenient? Musk gets named to the fake department of DOGE, and suddenly NASA’s future is up for debate—just as SpaceX is poised to cash in. Funny how “efficiency” seems to mean redirecting public funds straight into private pockets.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

What does a group of privileged white male politicians know about oppression?

Republicans pushed a bill firing all workers in offices related to DEI - because according to them, diversity oppresses white men. I gave a vocabulary lesson on the meaning of oppression.
