Just. Beautiful.

🚨 HUMILIATION: J.D. Vance just got booed into oblivion at the Kennedy Center. This comes after he ran like a coward from protesters in Vermont two weeks ago. He’s despised everywhere he goes.

here's the incredible interview that @chrislhayes.bsky.social did tonight with the woman who was just fired as the pardon attorney at DOJ, liz oyer. really, really, really worth watching: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnqv...

Overheard: The Tesla Chainsaw Massacre.

Elon Musk blames Ukraine for what he describes as cyberattacks on X

“.. Tesla is on track for its worst day since July 24, 2024, when it fell 12.33%. Tesla has erased nearly $800 billion in market value since its record close on December 17, 2024.” @cnbc.com $TSLA

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

DAY 1362 #MyChallenge to the Govt @DCMS @lisanandy @Steph_Peacock @TNLUK On Saturday I received the news that I have been selected to represent GB in Tokyo in the 25th Deaflympics. This is what I train for but with just 16 days to raise the £1400 deposit the wall is too high gofund.me/274baa5c

Claudia Sheinbaum, President of Mexico. An iconic photo of a great leader for our time.

Donald Trump has rigged every business, every banking application, every university, his military service, and every election he's been involved in. It's what career cheats, scam artists and con men do.

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall the moment a 19 year old DOGEbag got access to the VA system only to realize the VA still uses VISTA - a proprietary MUMPS-based programming language from 1978.

The age of American barbarism is upon us…

No further debate—Trump’s DEI policy is clearly racist. The Pentagon is flagging for removal, historic photos of Black & brown heroes who served, claiming they “promote DEI.” The military was segregated until 1948. Black people served while facing racism. Where was the DEI? Erasure is the point.

I’ve been feeling a particular affinity for the French these days … not just because I’ve watched Casablanca so many times lately that I know the words to the first verse of La Marseillaise forward and backward

BREAKING: Elon Musk's rocket explosion nearly hit a commercial flight. This kind of content is being downranked on X. Please share it here. This is so dangerous.

If you ever find yourself about to post something that is important to you, but then hesitate…fearing it might piss someone off….you MUST post it. Those are the very posts that count the most right now. Someone has got to say it. Let it be you.

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

Shame on 10 Dems who voted to censure Al Green. Ami Bera -CA Ed Case- Hawaii Jim Costa-CA. Laura Gillen- NY Jim Himes -CT Chrissy Houlahan- PA Marcy Kaptur- Ohio Jared Moskowitz - FLA Marie Gluesenkamp Perez- Washington Tom Suozzi - NY The inappropriate response to Trump ws applause & respect

RFK Jr should not be recommending steroids or antibiotics for measles - a virus. He is not a doctor. Don’t listen to his garbage. Get your advice from doctors & get kids vaccinated.

Look what's happening at the French Embassy in Washington DC.

This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.

If you only watch one video today, let it be this one. And since Little Marco doesn’t want us to remember this, please repost it so others can see what a raging hypocrite he is. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

If Trump was President in 1940

UK Prime Minister Starmer hugs Zelensky as he welcomes him to 10 Downing Street. This is how you welcome the leader of the free world.

. WHY is this Chris Pine/Alan Tudyk video mocking Congress STILL so funny... And yet so goddamned infuriatingly accurate? youtu.be/YibDgSd02Xk?...

quote of the day www.ft.com/content/4221...

The look on Zelenskyy’s face when Trump says “they respect me” is *chef’s kiss*🤌

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

🚨 NEW: Ukrainian President Zelensky just met with King Charles and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer—who made it crystal clear that the UK stands fully with Ukraine. This is leadership. You stand with democracy. You stand with those under attack. Not the aggressors. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

This absolutely broke me. #SlavaUkraine🇺🇦 🧵(1/3)

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

You can either support the United States of America and our democracy, or you can support trump. You cannot do both.

This is what a hero looks like.

We could have had Kamala!!! AGHHHHHH!!!!
