I can't top this one.

It is amazing to me that Dems are pressured to water down their messaging in order to avoid alienating 'centrists,' but Republicans can round up and deport sobbing children without fear of alienating 'centrists.' Says a lot about what we mean when we say 'centrists'

The Trump administration blamed Biden for a $400 million federal government contract with Elon Musk's Tesla to build armored electric vehicles. But NPR obtained documents showing the Biden administration only approved $483,000, not the $400 million that the Trump-Musk administration wanted.

They’ve got the green light to go after the most vulnerable.

Because they aren’t led by editors who are terrified by being labeled as biased and staffed with reporters who think it’s important to spend their days hippie-punching on Twitter.

AGAIN: If they actually cared about the deficit they wouldn’t also be cutting trillions in taxes for the rich. They think we are all very dumb.

DID YOU KNOW? In San Francisco in the 1800s there was a massive economic scuffle over seabird eggs called the Egg Wars that basically wiped out a species of bird and the eggs were selling for $1 per egg. In old times money!!

The Trump administration planned to shut down a government website that ships free coronavirus tests to households but reversed course after @lenasun.bsky.social and Carolyn Y. Johnson reported it was considering destroying or disposing tens of millions of kits www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Trump economic populism update

All and only the dumbest parts of libertarianism. (Gift link.) wapo.st/4b5IDHh

"I am the law." It's where they all end up.

Mark Zuckerberg and his companies are malignant enemies of humanity and decency.

It’s weird how Trump fans will cheer moves that are completely advantageous to Russia yet bristle at the idea that he’s an ally to Russia. If you know something is wrong, why do you embrace it? And if you approve of something, why do you deny it? There is a clear path of less cognitive dissonance.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Alright, it's finally time. This is something I've had in the pipeline for _years_ but was shying away from due to the sheer amount of research and notes necessary. But with the current state of affairs in the world, this is the moment Folks, it's time we talk about Mark Gruenwald

This reminds me of how mainstream news outlets were working so hard to try to legitimize the claim on Greenland, and as hard as they would try to sanewash it, Trump couldn’t stop himself from going on TV and saying “I saw it on a map and it was big so I wanted it.”

These dummies could have had a compliant corporate Dem with literal Uber lobbyists on her staff and instead they did school shootings and measles

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Firing the enforcement ppl is a really big tell. CBO estimates that each dollar spent on enforcement (mostly wages) yields $6 to $9 in avoided taxes. Cutting enforcement is one of the biggest deficit-raising acts one can do. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

When you are unwilling to allow yourself to say “a majority oppose all of Trump’s immigration plans” so instead you say “Americans are deeply divided.”

Musk's minions are *firing people responsible for securing our nation's nuclear arsenal and their panicked bosses are frantically reaching out to them to say actually no please come back oops* abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

It’s the 10th year of #foundvalentines ! This year’s are based on a photo from my friend Eve. Happy Valentine’s Day!

New, longer and stronger statement from Gov. Kathy Hochul on the lawsuit filed against her and other NY leaders over the Green Light Law. "There's no way I'm letting federal agents, or Elon Musk's shadowy DOGE operation, get unfettered access to the personal data of any New Yorker in the DMV system"

We are finally getting started on #Challenge40 and I was so glad to see Tony back, but after his stupid gameplay, glad to see him go.

Trump Claims He Can Overrule Constitution With Executive Order Because Of Little-Known ‘No One Will Stop Me’ Loophole

its because hes a democract. that's literally it. democrats are held to the highest possible standards and are condemned for the mildest slipups while republicans are allowed to get away with literally whatever they want. its a clear and obvious bias that's existed for decades.

If Gritty can still fly the pride flag so can we

Lamar is better.

I have lost count of how many times I’ve clicked “unsubscribe” on Threads emails.

It is astonishing that mainstream media is covering this like it is a shruggie vibe 🤷‍♂️

Just because it is in plain sight does not mean it is not what it is: A hostile takeover of the U.S. government by an unelected and unfettered power monger. Believe what you see, do not see what you believe.

"No one ever thought this would happen" is dishonest and journalists not pointing that out are doing you all a disservice. Many people said word for word this would happen. You just didn't respect those people. And you need to be honest instead of the feigned surprise for sympathy.

Willing to do fascism but not perjury because he has principles duh

Happy Groundhog Day! Time to revisit this rejected cartoon from 2010.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

I think a lot of WWE’s power right now is in letting young fans feel like they are getting to live out things from before they were born.

i know i'm talking a LOT about the glories of the 1990s/early 2000s web and YES part of it is nostalgia, but i honestly believe that bringing back human-made blogging and links free from Meta/Twitter can actually contribute to our political and social survival in this new awful era so LET'S DO THIS

We've finally defeated cancel culture. Now people only get fired for criticizing the government

I hope local news outlets all over the country are doing this. People should know if pardoned J6-ers who assaulted cops are returning to their communities, and what they did.
