Safelite repair, Safelite replace absolutely has me in a puddle of giggles. Thank goodness for gallows humor. All power to the motherfucking people

I know a lot of folks are stressed about what is happening in LA (myself included) and don’t know what to do. And lots of folks want to help but aren’t able to or comfortable physically protesting. Here’s my thinking…(a short thread) @altusds.altgov.info

Conditions are shifting. Expect icy fronts to spread well beyond Los Angeles by tomorrow. Initial efforts aimed to freeze traffic and attention in LA, but local crews appear to have salted the roads early.

Marines on our streets. The governor threatened with arrest. This moment echoes the darkest chapters of history - abroad, AND here at home. This is what a manufactured crisis looks like. Our latest newsletter breaks it all down: bit.ly/WTB_NoKings #WeTheBuilders #StandUpNotBack #CivicDefense

Former US Digital Service engineer Elizabeth Schweinsburg is one of the great ones. Always willing to help with security issues, a great interviewer, and an absolute powerhouse for security in government. This award is well-deserved! niccs.cisa.gov/resources/sf...

The Democracy Papers: Paper 21

You cannot stand with Trump and stand with America. If you support Trump and what he is doing then you support the unmaking of America. #NoKings #NoKingsInAmerica #LosAngeles #ICE

If you are National Guard or Active Duty Miltary and are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens, there is help. Call the GI Rights Hotline at 1-877-447-4487

⚠️ Roughly 500 Marines from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles. It’s not clear when they would actually deploy to Los Angeles.

To be absolutely clear, the deployment of Marines into #LA and the threat of arresting Newsom is a marked escalation and a worsening constitutional crisis. To our peeps in #LosAngeles: Trump is scared. You are amazing and an inspiration. Stay safe. activistchecklist.org/protest/

@kevinroose.com it makes sense you’d have Sahil on Hard Fork but the way you asked about the “Office Space interviews” as if they didn’t really happen was kind of infuriating. They did. You just haven’t bothered to have anyone from USDS or 18F on to ask. Maybe fix that. cc: @caseynewton.bsky.social

While Trump flies around on a foreign government’s jet and plans a $700 million parade, everyday Americans are losing healthcare and public workers are being laid off. 📫 Check out our latest newsletter: https://bit.ly/4j6CVqQ #WeTheBuilders #RebuildGovernment

Imagine going to a Springsteen concert and being mad because it got “political”. As if he hasn’t been making political content his entire career. So stupid.

SCOOP: Since SSA installed new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, only 2 claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent, according to internal documents I obtained. The policy has slowed down payments, though. Retirement claim processing is down 25%

@altusds.altgov.info maybe an article about how a lot of the offices cut cost zero dollars is in order?

Dr. Theresa Chapple@drtheresachapple.bsky.social · 2y ago

I want to point out two things about yesterday's HHS cuts 1- a FDA office was cut that's completely funded by tobacco settlement dollars. The cut saved the US $0 but cost scientists their jobs & will result in unsafe/unregulated products on store shelves 2- state & local health depts will be harmed

You're right on this one. The pendulum always swings. And the harder you pull it, the bigger the backswing. Are you ready to start to rebuild? We are

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones. Meet the 64-year-old retired social worker who went viral after being forcibly removed from her representative's town hall.

Good to see a rejection of the right and Trumpism continue around the globe. May it continue until it reaches us.

TRUMPISM REJECTED IN AUSTRALIA Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been re-elected as his Labor Party surged to victory and is projected to form a majority government. In a historic first, opposition leader Peter Dutton—often likened to Donald Trump—lost his own seat of Dickson.

Story time. Have you ever wondered why the CDC is headquartered in Atlanta? The answer in one word: MALARIA. CDC started to prevent the spread of malaria, so we went where the mosquitoes were. Now, the division that houses our founding mission has an uncertain future. www.cdc.gov/museum/histo...

Saw this pop up in the news and in different times I would be heartened to see police make an effort to protect and care for people like this but in today’s climate, with the chance this will be weaponized against vulnerable communities, this is a hard pass for me. www.wgal.com/article/auti...

People are having to finance their groceries and are late on repayment at a growing rate and Trump is more worried about enacting his tariffs which will drive UP the costs of goods in America while shredding the programs that help Americans. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/26/a...

More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says

Consumers are using buy now, pay later plans to pay for essentials such as groceries, as concerns around the economy grow.

Nope nope nope. This is not what we used our technical skills for. This is not what government data is for. Our friends and family who are autistic are not this regime's test subjects.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.
