No Kings in Chesaning, Michigan

No Kings in Midland, Michigan.

This tiny device can shrink dangerous blood clots. It’s called the ‘milli-spinner’ and its invention was partly an accident…

A great read from my better half: Why I Left MAGA In 2020 The real, honest truth

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

On this Palm Sunday, I am reminded that retribution is not a Christian value. Regardless of your religious tradition, may we all find love, forgiveness, and redemption.

It will never not be funny that the religious right looked to an atheist to make their prayers come true

A message from Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Danish Foreign Minister

"We don’t want your Nazi cars / take a one-way trip to Mars" is a pretty good chant

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Let me count the ways Trump - Vance administration is fascist 1/2 1). Destroying Government Agencies through unilateral mass firings and consolidation of power. 2). Failing democracy by rejecting democratic allies and choosing to emulate mafioso type strongman regimes.

The President doesn’t really care about protecting law enforcement. If he did, he wouldn’t have released the convicted criminals who brutally assaulted cops and defaced the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. People died that day, but Trump freed the violent insurrectionists during his first week.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Their capacity to just flat out lie is matched only by the capacity of dupes to accept it.

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Francis Collins led the mapping of the human genome, and chose to do big scientific to benefit the public. He is a a former NIH Director. He just resigned his position in government. His resignation letter: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/u...

You have to be fucking kidding: Scientists at CDC have been prohibited from co-authoring publications with WHO staff, dealing a blow to global research efforts and continuing the Trump administration’s aggressive attack on government-funded science www.huffpost.com/entry/cdc-wh...

I TRULY LOVE AND RESPECT @ericswalwell.bsky.social Congressman Eric Swalwell tonight Message to Little Marco Rubio "Bro, did you write this?" "Don't bullshit us. Grow a pair "

Buy the book On Tyranny. Follow Timothy Snyder. Start an antifascism book club.

Appeasement isn’t ‘sensible’. It isn’t ’diplomatic’. It’s appeasement. It has a terrible history.

5 former Secretaries of Defense call on Congress to exercise oversight responsibility on Trump-Hegseth firing of senior military leaders: The "dismissals raise troubling questions about the administration’s desire to politicize the military and to remove legal constraints on the President’s power."

You first.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

One way to resist fascism is “do not obey in advance”. The billionaires obeying Trump in advance need to know their fortunes will suffer from going along with him. Friday Feb 28 is a day of NO PURCHASES. This is just a start. We must adjust our lives to wield our purchasing power.

America is under a bloodless terror attack for the benefit of a foreign country. Perhaps this article sheds some light as to who. www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

Trump is a goddamn traitor to America. Any congressional Republican who supports him — or is afraid to stand up to him — is just as much of a traitor as Trump.

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
