“Billionaires building bunkers to survive an AI apocalypse, attempting to disrupt death through cryopreservation, scouting the planet for pop-up cities and network states — are not reliable stewards of the collective good.” — @ruha9.bsky.social

I genuinely can’t believe the Republican House went through with this nightmare….

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

He’s weakening our country. He’s weakening our economy. He’s weakening our alliances. He’s weakening the free world. He’s weakening our influence around the world. And Putin keeps smiling every single day.

7 months ago. Bring back Bidenomics.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

"Obama’s comments also offer Democrats a way out of the either-prices-or-democracy cul-de-sac that has flummoxed the party. What they underscore is this: Trump’s destruction of the rule of law and his imminent wreckage of the economy are actually the same story."

This is glorious. Stop what you’re doing and watch.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

More than five years ago, I wrote about the American conservatives who admire Russia dictatorship. Now they run America www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Truth is rarely spoken by Kremlin insiders on Russian TV. But this is truth.

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 US added to international watchlist for rapid decline in civic freedoms Civicus, an international non-profit, puts country alongside Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan and Serbia www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Funny, how "I will fix things on day one" quickly became "Please, please give me NINE MONTHS to show any signs of progress!!!"

Enormous response to Mike’s post. If you haven’t read it…

I was right

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

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

Agree 💯

The point about Trump’s deranged comments about Gaza is that we’re wasting precious seconds talking about Trump’s deranged comments about Gaza and not unelected Elon Musk’s coup to dismantle our government.

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID. Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

It’s Day 16. Our country is being dismantled 24/7. If “…just 53 days.” applies to us, like it did in 1933 Germany, that means March 13, 2025, could be the last day of our country, as we know it to be. Tick tock, tick tock… #SheShed

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

If this doesn't scare the crap outta you, I don't know what will. They better be looking into this.

Eggs 🥚

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

This times a centillion.

Trump said drug dealers should get “the death penalty” but I guess a full and unconditional pardon is basically the same thing.
