"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

Trump just said everyone should read the Declaration of Independence... Presumably so we can see that he took the founders' list of grievances against the crown as a personal todo list.

Is it too late for them to revoke Elon's status? Oh, what's that you say? They're not actually targeting antisemitism, they're only targeting people who speak out against Palestinian genocide? www.npr.org/2025/04/09/g...

The entire Republican Party is complicit in Trump's tariffs. They could vote to undo them, but they won't. Pass it on.

Cory Booker has done an extraordinary thing in these times that call for extraordinary measures from our elected officials. He has broken the record for the longest speech on the Senate floor speaking out against the unlawful, unamerican, and evil actions of the Trump administration.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (my congresswoman when I lived in Seattle!) is holding resistance labs to help Americans organize non-violent resistance to unlawful actions by the Trump administration. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SHC...

This is what we need from Senate leadership in this moment.

"We accidentally sent an innocent man to a Salvadoran gulag, but we'll be damned if we're going to make it right" What the fuck is wrong with these people?

"Musk's claim ("the left is supposed to be the party of empathy") perfectly distills the asymmetry in our politics. The left is “supposed to be” empathetic, so that’s the standard it must live up to. The right isn't, so when its leader incites a riot, that’s fine since it meets our expectations."

Trump admin lawyers are saying the Alien Enemies Act allows federal agents to enter homes without a warrant. I'd hope that this would never hold up in court, but the fact that they're even suggesting it is disturbing. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

If you could commission one fictional character to fix the current US political problems, who would it be? (okay, 2 fictional characters)

Tariffs, no tariffs, tariffs, no tariffs, double tariffs! Trump is clearly a stable genius.

Boycott Tesla! Teslas are poorly built fascist trash and there are a lot of great options at every price point made by companies that aren't owned by Elon Musk. I had a Bolt EV for 3 years (great car at a great price). When my lease ended, I got a Polestar 2 (nicer car, more $$).

This is some Orwellian shit right here. The US Attorney for the District of Columbia is supposed to uphold the law, which includes the first amendment. Revoking press credentials from the AP over their decision to continue to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as such is fundamentally un-American.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

When Trump says he doesn't know anything about something, it's always a lie. Ironically, when Trump claims to know more than anybody about something, that's also a lie.

One week into the second Trump administration, and we're already witnessing what would be an impeachable offense under any other president. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I'm still going to call it the Gulf of Mexico. A man-child with a bad spray tan and a sharpie is not a good way to draw maps.

Mike Johnson just attributed a prayer to Thomas Jefferson that is probably a misattribution according to the Thomas Jefferson Foundation. Jefferson was well known for being a staunch proponent of keeping religion and government separate. Full stop. www.monticello.org/research-edu....

Welcome to the Fascist States of America... We need the GOP senators who still have a modicum of a spine left to stand up against Kash Patel's confirmation. Sorry, Susan Collins, but your concern isn't enough, we need your "no" vote.
