Remember the task now is to disseminate the images of the protests to people who didn’t see them and project a sense of their size and significance. Huge numbers of people turned out today, let’s make their dedication count!

It’s very weird to me that in all the (genuinely comical) hermeneutic reading of Trump’s decision to annihilate the global trade system, no one actually quotes one of the major reasons he himself cites for it:

How about instead of profiling the “personalities” saying horrible things at far right conferences, we profile the people who paid to put on those conferences. Cmon the billionaires pushing this poison have names & faces.

I feel like we should all be paying Alex for therapy tbh. He has quite a unique way of making you feel a little bit better when it feels like all is going to shit. As we can’t really do that, I do recommend subscribing to #QuietRiot on Ko-fi ! Worth every penny.

If your instinct tends a bit towards catastrophising - not unreasonable right now - and asserting confidently an opinion along the lines of: "all is lost, US is done, nobody can do a thing, may as well calm down, go home, and wait for the end," stop and ask who benefits from people pushed to apathy.

Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

As Elon demands justifications from all federal workers (including many who are not Executive Branch employees), remember that if he paid his taxes, it'd pay for 677K federal jobs.

When loyalists replace military personnel,it’s a red flag signaling plans for illegal actions. Convicted felon and morally bankrupt realtor in pursuit to hand the World to few of his buddies dictators! Accountability matters. #RuleOfLaw #MilitaryEthics #DemVoice1

This is clear as day. They are criminals and thugs who are engaged in a heist, theiving billions of tax dollars before our very eyes:

Byline Times is facing major DDOS (malicious traffic-flooding) issues on our site apparently after this article went live... bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

This.

We all think this is good news but what it really means is that Trump is acting like a man who will never leave the White House and does not care what you think.

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

The family of David Lynch invites us all around the world to come together at noon Monday for a worldwide group meditation for 10 minutes- I will definitely be there to help raise the vibration on an otherwise dark day. #davidlynch

"There will be no rebuilding. There will only be mass looting of our tax dollars, greasing of palms, favors to help the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the destruction of the middle class, further ensuring we cannot fight back."

BIG NEWS. I have left the Post. Corporate and billionaire media are failing to meet the moment. With @normeisen.bsky.social I'm launching @contrariannews.bsky.social. We'll have politics but also cooking, humor, film and even pets. Please subscribe and join the fight. contrarian.substack.com

Elon Musk's daughter savagely destroys him. 🍿

The Daily Mail has never been pro-British- it has always been pro-fascist. The Daily Mail is owned by the 4th Viscount Rothermere, passed on from 3rd, 2nd & 1st Viscounts. It’s been a tool of hereditary power & privilege undermining our democracy. Musk & Trump excite them to take their mask off.

Where do the bad guys get their stamina?

Fiji water is so horrifyingly colonial. A California company taking water from an aquifer on a Pacific island, putting it into plastic bottles, and selling it to people who're too good to drink their local water. Never sat right with me. Don't buy it.

As a seasoned DC reporter, I know Trump can't fulfill his campaign promise to lower grocery prices upon taking office. Here's why I'm going to drop that topic and only ask him about Greenland, as he wants me to.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️

Let’s see - I’m being sentenced for 34 felonies on Friday, I’ve nominated a bunch of unschooled idiots for my cabinet, and I owe E Jean $483 million. What can I distract the idiots with?

Decorum ended democracy.

The husband of Republican senator Deb Fischer just refused to shake hands or make eye contact with Vice President Harris. The level of class you can expect from MAGA.

Stay frosty🥶, my Bluesky friends…

I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.

I’m convinced this is their intention. Musk is making it extremely clear he has no intention of staying within any remit and considers himself an international actor. It will be a test of American governance will be to see if it can contain oligarchs like him or not, or if it just doesn’t want to
