The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

The savvy will scoff, but I am completely serious about this. Congressional Dems should introduce a constitutional amendment to limit the pardon power and force votes on it whenever they can. Dem presidential wannabes should endorse the idea. Blue states should signal support.

Posts about Skype are circulating and churning my memory—Skype was pre-cloud but post-P2P, it pioneered "supernodes", a robust but dynamic core of volunteers, to relay traffic between nodes that otherwise cannot directly communicate due NAT, firewalls, or otherwise lossy direct links. It was cool.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

by caving, Paul Weiss has shown Trump he can basically destroy all of BigLaw by executive order you cannot give in to him because, like any bully, he takes that as immediate license to keep demanding more

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it. When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him. Not without a fight. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

@schiff.senate.gov Senator, do you have an office in California? I’m a bit surprised that you didn’t list an address outside the Washington office. Personally I think it’s quite important that your constituents can reach your office from your home state.

Green: I will suffer whatever the consequences are because I don't believe in the richest country in the world people should be without good health care. I stood up for my constituents then. I'm standing up for them now. I would do it again.

This is literally the problem: We NEED to be rude. We need emotion. These fuckers are destroying democracy & hurting people; our elected Democrats should be pissed. When they're not, they're essentially gaslighting the rest of us. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

The 49 buses during morning commute are so full it takes literally minutes per stop to just get the doors closed. We need a lot more transit not less to get people around, and the bus drivers should give clear directions to passengers. @sfmta.com

A good friend was just fired, along with all the scientists at their lab. I don't even know what to think or say. This is devastating lives, and I don't see how we stop it right now, let alone mend the damages done. How does anything but a nationwide strike stop this? Politicians aren't saving us.

I don't know if anyone caught it during the Treasury rally today, but. Rep. McIver straight-up said that her Republican colleagues are leaving their phones off the hook because they don't want to hear from their constituents. THAT is what Dems should be preaching from every corner, every day.

Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter was seen as private business, and a lot of individuals privately reach out. I shall forever be grateful of their support. Folks, now the fed workers need our public support, for this is a hostile takeover of the largest public institution in the US. We can do this!
