Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.
Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.
Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.
I would like to be present when government lawyers tell a 78-year-old judge “we can’t follow your order because the computer won’t let us.” That’s always fun.
Telling courts that refunds would be "automatic" and "assured" was the government's way of avoiding emergency relief.
Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.
We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy.
New from me at @brennancenter.org:
Oh no, I can't believe all those slurs forced themselves into that defenseless group chat!
Someday he'll fire RFK Jr. too, because he's a savvy politician, and RFK Jr. is viscerally disgusting to the human sensibility. When he does - and he will - public health will have to grapple with the fact that it was doable, and we could have tried harder, sooner
Ohtani makes me feel 11 years old again watching this dumb sport. That’s the highest compliment I could ever give a baseball player. 🤯
No new episodes til 3/23 but it is always a good time to follow @roadshowpbs.bsky.social! New episodes have a dedicated group of Roadies sharing thoughts, commentary, and humor; a greater community there is not!!!
Assuming that we’re not DELIBERATELY bombing girls’ schools, has anyone articulated about how being not-PC has actually served us strategically or tactically? Like anything articulable or measurable? Or is it just “blow shit up, but with a douchey expression”?
This, and please use alt text. It not only helps people who need it, but it works with bluesky's muting features.
All of you made me feel so much love today. This occupation has exhausted me and at times has broken my heart. But the dedication of our community and neighbors has been the fuel I’ve needed to wake up to fight another day alongside you. ❤️
The LA Olympics are gonna be so fascist they'll have quidditch

Any American rooting for this war or who thinks we'll easily wipe the floor with Iran is either a.) not paying attention to how it's been going so far, and b.) has never looked at a map of Iran, or as I like to call it, "'Lol Fuck Your Ground Game' Mountain Land."

Amazing life (& obit):
two purchases of LHX stock from Mullin. each between 15-50 thousand. One on may 13 2025 and another on February 13 2025
Conflicts of interest are already cropping up in Marywayne Mullin's bid to become the next DHS Secretary—he's invested tens of thousands of dollars in a company that agreed to a $62 million settlement last year to resolve claims that it knowingly misled the government about pricing in its contracts.
does the state of Michigan have close ties to the Wonder Woman franchise or are Gary Peters and Debbie Dingell both just coincidentally fans, and other things you sometimes need to know when you live here
A student came by my office today to drop off a card thanking me for being their professor and for all the stuff that they learned and the truly unhinged joy I feel is quite something.
Jon Tester keeps it real: "I don’t believe that, as none of us were running. He fucked his own party"
Everybody’s got their reasons for despising Markwayne Mullin and mine is him screaming at the dignified and brilliant former CDC Director Susan Monarez at a hearing.
He lied about a nonexistent recording and tried to bully her into submission.
She was a locus of zen. He lost his damned mind.
did this happen after the primary on Tuesday??? lmao oh my god are other transphobe Dems just quitting because they got stomped so badly
Would recommend sipping on a quad shot latte as news of Kristi Noem’s firing breaks.
I feel invincible lol
I do love all the people like “psh well he shouldn’t have had to resign!”
like no! I want sex pests removed from office. End of.
I don’t care if we’re only able to do that to one side of the political spectrum, it is better than not punishing ANY!
It is 2026 and we are not fucking doing this anymore. EIGHT WOMEN came forward and told stories of Franken GROPING AND FORCIBLY KISSING THEM. The man was a sexual abuser. He did not and does not belong in congress. Fucking period. End of conversation.
How is Markwayne Mullin not Arkansas’ starting quarterback
Additionally what so many of the "No one's talking on Bluesky" people are actually saying is "I am lost and confused when there's not an algorithm to shove content into my eyeballs with no effort on my part"
