They tear-gassed a woman peacefully waving an American flag. Let that sink in. This isn’t freedom. It’s intimidation, and it’s happening right here in America. We must stand up and stop this, but not at night. That’s when the violence escalates and militarized police act with impunity.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

NEW: This opinion piece in today’s Washington Post is one of the most important it has ever published. Shadi Hamid on the urgency of calling the Gaza crimes what they so patently are: a genocide. I don’t like violating paywalls, but make no apology for doing so for this. It’s essential.

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

The people at @msnbc.com helped me make this video

If you know someone who doesn’t understand that we are in a class war, make them understand, and then welcome them into the Resistance.

Has the media stopped talking about how expensive everything is right now because there's no Presidential election on the horizon?

You don’t stop this shit by firing on the people, you stop it by having LAPD arrest ICE for kidnapping. This is a fucking disgrace by every government party involved.

WSJ reporting economists are questioning the quality of U.S. inflation data, after the Bureau of Labor Statistics was forced to use a less accurate method for guessing price changes, given staffing cuts and a hiring freeze limited the number of companies that were surveyed. How convenient.

This tactic *does* need to spread like wildfire

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

9 out of 10 agencies targeted by DOGE for layoffs are liberal-leaning. Every single proposed GOP budget increase goes to conservative agencies. They're not cutting fat—they're performing ideological surgery with a chainsaw.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

FBI RIOT TEAM OUT IN STREETS OF LOS ANGELES (& GETTING PUSHED OUT BY COMMUNITY ON THE GROUND) Dozens of FBI, ATF, & DHS agents in camo fatigues with guns out. FUCK THESE GESTAPO PIGS! Angelenos are pushing the feds out!

Heh heh... enjoy this site while it's still up; apparently Joni "We're all going to die" Ernst failed to obtain the domain for her 2026 campaign site... www.joniernst26.com

DELETED: Trump administration deleted a webpage summarizing evidence that “undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes.” 1/2

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

Musk cannot be “turned”, “flipped”, “allied” with. He is a Nazi and he’s killed 300,000 people, mostly children. Anyone considering taking his political contributions or discussing allying with him has no moral compass nor should they be near power.

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

When 15 million Americans lose their health care and plunge into personal crisis, none of them are going to give a shit about a made-for-clicks twitter fight between two billionaires arguing about who gets the bigger share of the corruption spoils.

WATCH: @katmabu.bsky.social blows Jennings’ mind by saying “everyone deserves health care” Reminder: this is how it is in every other developed nation, where the cruelty of the Republican Party has not killed universal health care on behalf of the insurance companies. #MedicareForAll

Robert Reich calls it like it is: Republicans are lying about Medicaid “work requirements.” Most recipients who can work already do. This isn’t about jobs—it’s about cruelty. It’s a con to rip healthcare from the poor and hand more tax breaks to billionaires. #TrumpsBillWillKill

While you’re doomscrolling and 👀watching the Elon vs. Trump drama unfold… 📞 Take 2 minutes to call your Senators at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to vote NO on the big ugly budget bill that slashes Medicaid, Medicare, food assistance, and more. #TrumpsBillWillKill

While I grab my 🍿… Imagine if Trump just canceled Musk’s fat government contracts instead of gutting SNAP, ripping healthcare from 16 million people, and letting kids go hungry. But sure, billionaire welfare stays. Everyone else? 🤷‍♀️ What a concept. #TrumpsBillWillKill

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.
