Truer words were never spoken.

The guy whose daddy bought his way into Wharton, the guy whose grades were so shitty he's never disclosed them – that guy just destroyed the Department of Education. This is what dystopia looks like. This is what Fascism looks like.

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

Sadly, it’s time to revive this 2017 TIME cover.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

I saw a video of known alcoholic Pete Hegseth drinking multiple scotches in the middle of a televised presser and started laughing so hard I began coughing as I believe we're less than 2 weeks removed from him promising never to drink a single time as Secretary of Defense and nothing matters anymore

Yes, It’s a Coup and Yes, It’s Targeting You

Leaders in Russia, Hungary and El Salvador welcomed the Trump administration’s assault on USAID, which many authoritarians have seen as a threat.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Elon Musk demanded the FAA Chief resign after he tried to fine SpaceX for safety breaches. Now Musk is shutting down a $40BN agency which is investigating his company’s equipment. USAID webpages on its Starlink investigation have disappeared. Right out of the Russia playbook.

So much evil in one photo it is actually staggering

Perfectly captured.

I have never seen anyone flip as quickly as Robert F. Kennedy did on the question of whether a woman has the right to control her own body.

Brilliant.

if there is one funny thing about yesterday’s blitzkrieg of executive orders is that it makes the “democratic opposition went too far last time” crowd look like total dipshits

As best you can, ignore him.

Gotta love the British press.

It wasn't until I saw author Steven Beschloss mention it that I fully appreciated the fact that Musk knowingly (twice) gave a Nazi salute _behind the Presidential Seal_ That's a stain on the history of this nation—and on the first day of the second Trump presidency, no less—that can never be erased

The “free speech defenders,” ladies and gentlemen.

This is the GOP’s long con on full display.

Capitalism is based on the childish idea that there is no such thing as "too much." Billionaire hoarders are out of control. They have bought politicians and SCOTUS. It is corruption at the top. We have a Constitutional-level plutocratic, fascistic, Christo-nationalist, patriarchal, racist crisis.

For the people in the back…

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

Today's food label proposal by the FDA is pathetically weak. Tobacco labels don't say, “High in tar, medium in nicotine & low in carcinogens.” They say, “Cigarettes cause cancer." We need warning labels on unhealthy products that make clear they could lead to serious illness.

Musk is just that pathetic.

Americans are dying and losing their homes. And this needy sociopath is gloating. What a horrible, damaged person.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Chinese Communist Party sees Elon Musk as a "trusted" partner who can be relied upon to steer TikTok in a direction the CCP would be okay with... ...which I suppose is the clearest indication we have ever had that Elon Musk is a danger to the United States.

Me back in 2017, getting gradually aware and concerned yet cautious about getting political in my cathartic endeavours

fixed it

Whoever runs The Carter Center socials & the photographer that captured this shot are national HEROES. There is something so beautifully poetic about a narcissist being eclipsed by a statue of someone else 😭

Meta’s entire business model is copying rivals’ features in an effort to eliminate any competition.

One of these things is not like the others.

Matt Gaetz has been out of Congress all of five minutes and he's already hawking ivermectin with sponsored posts. The GOP official-to-grifter pipeline is strong.

NEW: Meta just killed its diversity, equity and inclusion program. Employees aren't buying the company's argument that it's the result of a 'shifting legal landscape.' What they're saying inside the company ➡️ www.platformer.news/meta-kills-d...

My God, the state of rightwing media today is a joke. This is a nonstory about David Muir using a clothespin to keep his jacket tight, assuredly so that his loose jacket wouldn't interfere with his lav mic in the intense winds.
