World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

The estimate is 18,000 people came out to protest yesterday in Santa Barbara, which is almost 1 in 10 people in the area. That's truly stunning. Wish the media would cover these protests more...

Pix from #NoKings Seattle today. Massive crowd (70K+), peaceful and energized. Lots of American flags on display. Great day! @maddow.msnbc.com

When people say it’s hyperbolic to compare Trump to Hitler or to infer that Republicans are Nazis, they’re obviously very unfamiliar with history. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I'll say it over and over again; you can't build the mass deportation machine without first building the police state machine.

Excellent reporting on an under explored issue.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

The ridiculous Pamela Jo Bondi claims that fentanyl seizures since Trump retook office have saved 258 million lives (the US only has a total population of 340 million.) The *truth* is that from Jan 2025 (Biden) to February 2025 (Trump), fentanyl seizures were DOWN 41%.

Do check and be sure you’re not giving your money to people who wish to do you harm. #PublicSquare

Link to their PublicSquare listing in your Yelp review. They WANT their customers to know, right?

NEW: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...

Why do you gotta talk about politics? Nato Green spells it out 🏆👇🏼

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools. They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.

A new Supreme Court case seeks to revive one of the most dangerous ideas from the Great Depression www.vox.com/scotus/40365...

Meta trying to fact check something? Now that they’re against fact checking their own platform, interesting to see that they would spend resources on fact checking a story that they want to bury. www.wired.com/story/plaint...

More GOP sponsored censorship. The republicans really want to destroy more of our freedom.

www.nytimes.com/interactive/... The GOP regime is emulating the Nazi Reich with its state sponsored censorship. Much like how the Nazi regime appointed Josef Goebbels as the Minister of Propaganda in 1933 aiming to brainwash people into obeying the Nazis and idolising Hitler.

Musk and Trump could not possibly be sending a clearer signal that the Tesla protests are working than this pathetic stunt today.

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w... I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at imposing potentially steep costs on parties that seek to block his policies in court reut.rs/3F6HcMN

This is an opinion piece that evidently meets Jeff Bezos' new test for supporting "personal liberties and free markets." Support pro-democracy independent media.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

It would be hard to distinguish sincere from frivolous complaints, especially if the complaints were, say, machine generated to cover every single school in the United States. I wonder how hard that would be to do. The portal seems simple enough. enddei.ed.gov

"White parents who see themselves as egalitarian must recognize that the stakes are now higher than ever. If you want to raise children who reject racism rather than passively absorbing it, right now, today, talk with your child about race and racism." www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-...

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

I don’t judge Mitch McConnell for his choice of political party. I judge him for his greed, racism, and hunger for power. I judge him for causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump. So will others. So will history.
