Your 'moment of kakistocracy' for today: "Trump on Thursday signed a presidential memorandum withdrawing the U.S. government from a Dec. 14, 2023 agreement to help restore salmon, steelhead and other native fish being decimated by federal hydroelectric dams in the Columbia River Basin."

BREAKING: A Chilean woman on vacation was kidnapped by ICE and NYPD in New York City. Her 12-year-old daughter was left alone on the damn street. You think that’s a “mistake”? This is Trump’s America. Xenophobia runs this country now. Do not come here. It’s not safe.

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

It really feels like we don’t talk enough about how much COVID has fucked up our politics, our culture, and all of us personally. It’s not surprising considering how absolutely averse this country is to confronting trauma, but sometimes it still needs to be said.

Part of the bill that Republicans jammed through includes something you may have missed: Defunding Planned Parenthood. There's nothing "pro-life" about defunding breast exams, pregnancy tests, prenatal care, and so much more. Over 1 million women could lose access to care.

I’m with Leader Jeffries and Senator Booker for a sit-in at the Capitol, spotlighting the stories from real people who’d be hurt by Trump’s budget. We will not stop fighting to protect Medicaid, food assistance, and the programs our communities depend on.

Let this sink in—the head of the EPA has now labeled climate science as “religion”, and reframed the purpose of the EPA to “lower the cost of buying a car… and running a business”—the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY! That’s where we are now. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/c...

The wealthy folks supporting Republicans don’t like the ACA because as long as we can purchase our own health insurance, we don’t have to work their shitty jobs just to keep health insurance. They need us desperate enough to work for any wage under any condition.

We're potentially on the verge of an economic collapse that will make the great recession look like a picnic. The AI bubble popping along with restrictive tariffs, massive cuts to the federal government, and a grossly incompetent president will ensure we repeat the great depression.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

If you don't think Social Security & Medicare are next, you're not paying attention. If you voted for this, you deserve all that's coming. I've spent my entire life a bleeding heart for others less fortunate, but I have no drops left for you. I feel nothing... except for your children. Damn you all.

The US government is a Jenga tower and right now the Trump admin is pulling out every piece and one will cause a complex system collapse. We won't know what precisely will do it but something will and it'll cause a collapse. I think a lot of things we think matter won't by the end of the year.

The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

Last year was likely the hottest year in the last 120,000+ years on this planet. Human civilization has never existed in conditions like these, and the f&%kery is just getting started. The tragedy is not the loss of human civilization, it's what humans are doing to everything else.

I'm never ever ever gonna get over the fact that it didn't have to be this way. This is not how things are meant to be. This is not how we are meant to live. And I'll be damned if I let anyone normalize this existence.

Is societal collapse inevitable? ‘At the end of the day, we have to radically transform society, and we have to do it fast’. Sadly atm we are doing very little to transform. This needs to change. Our current political systems are not fit for our purpose of survival #climatechange #collapse

There are so many good people in this country that I'd like to think that the people here would never let atrocities like what happened in World War 2 occur in the United States. But then a majority of Americans support the mass deportations including 25% of Democrats (Scripps News/Ipsos poll).

If you really need healthcare and you pay for it, but then they say you don't need it. What can you do? You can't go somewhere else because they have already taken your money. So you can suffer/die or...

So glad to see Fox News and LibsofTikTok condemning violence against healthcare CEOs. As we all know, the only acceptable calls for violence are against random gay teachers and trans people.

My beloved MawMaw, my dad's mother, was very particular about what baking got the good Mexican vanilla & what got fake extract. She hoarded it as a precious resource; I think because she lived through the Great Depression. I suspect we will be back to times like that very soon.

America's fentanyl problem exploded while Donald Trump was in office. After Joe Biden's last four years overdose deaths are FINALLY dropping. Now, Trump wants to explode the problem by taxing the everlasting shit out of Americans and unleashing job killing inflation. People better blame Trump.

It was truly something to be a teenager & early adult between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the World Trade Center. That’s not just a nostalgic idealization of youth; we were in a moment that’s impossible to explain now.

One of the things you learn as you read the history of the Weimar Republic is that some people saw what was coming but were completely ignored. It's never completely unforeseeable, it's just that most aren't paying attention or are consumed by normalcy bias.
