Ocean Beach per SFGate.com drone footage

Fucking bleak bro.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

the entire world to JD Vance right now

Nice touch with Barracuda at the end. Wow. #HandmaidsTale

I apologize for my profession which has been too indoctrinated in the Goldwater Rule to speak out that he shows multiple symptoms of cognitive inflexibility, personality disorder, impulsivity, erratic mood swings, word retrieval, memory issues & other problems that would warrant further evaluation

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

*laughs in Atléti fan*

I see we're back to wishful thinking in media coverage. So much of this feels like re-visiting 2016-2020 without lessons learned. No, it's not falling apart. No, Musk is not truly out of government, just adjusting. We can't confuse comforting lies with hope. Doing that in the past led us here.

When you know that you can’t hold power & win elections even having the richest man in the world on your side, so you have to disable your opponents resources.

The town hall for Republican House Rep. Byron Donalds in Estero, Florida didn't go so well yesterday. He was booed and jeered when he was talking about DOGE. Love this for him. 🍿

BEING INVITED TO NOTHING: I'm ever so lonely and nobody cares about me at all BEING INVITED TO ONE THING: omg it never ends with these people

The current season of Call the Midwife, set in 1970, includes an episode about a mom of a child disabled by a measles infection who becomes a powerful advocate for vaccination. A little on the nose, BBC!

LOL! Arguably the most anticipated press conference from a United State Senator in recent memory - one that happens to make the Trump Administration look bad - and Fox News cuts away. There is no one less informed or more brainwashed than the average Fox News viewer.

Pretty clear that the two parties aren’t the same…. At all

When the country is run by narcissists and sociopaths. This man has a family and a life here.

This is: (a) correct; (b) a demonstration of Van Hollen's political skills, which are stronger than most of us realized; (c) a sign to other politicians that bold action will bring outsized attention, as it has with Booker and AOC.

"Just following orders."

Bill Maher just provided a textbook demonstration of how liberal commentators normalize authoritarian tendencies through the selective valorization of private charm over public consequences. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-theate...

My god, the delusion.

I don’t mean to be weird and dramatic but I just want to scream my brains out and eat everything and fight everyone like God’s angriest little seagull, but also just go live on the bottom of the ocean like a flounder with a little peanut brain and everything is dumb and I hate it

Literal fucking Nazis in our government.

Props to George Soros. Hundreds of thousands of paid protestors yesterday, and yet not a single copy of a check or any evidence of electronic transfers to them.

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

The measles/anti-vaxxer plot line in tonight’s The Pitt. Hoo boy. Really hits a particular way right now.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

😂

Measles and tariffs, what century is this?

The many triumphed over the money in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election yesterday. Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford, to the people of Wisconsin, and to everyone fighting for a just and free America. Let's keep going.

I spoke to an expert in authoritarianism, who explained to me that things like this are extremely meaningful and they help protect democracy, even if there’s not a straight line between this and actual legislating

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

Stop thinking of the Trump regime as a presidency doing politics. Start seeing it as a Mafia-style crime syndicate running a protection racket.
