List of US companies that donated to Trump

Go ahead and roll your eyes at those who want out of Trump's second term, but it's emigration, not immigration, that should concern us most.

Bulwark is 5 user reviews away from reaching 1000 on Steam. If you played and enjoyed it, consider leaving a steam recommendation and be the one to push it to above a 1000!

We need to have an international holiday every year where the richest person in the world is ritually thrown into a volcano. Good, healthy disincentivizer.

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I met Leland Melvin in 2017. He was very kind. When I apologized for fan girling a little and being annoying he said I wasn't annoying and that even if i had been ultimately it was his job as a public servant to be there for the public

with biden, we had egg

This letter to the editor from 1961 voices the same diagnosis of the nation's ills and the same solution--to completely obliterate the New Deal state--that animates the MAGA/Project 2025 blitz we're experiencing now. That 1961 newspaper was put out by a fascist who helped found the Posse Comitatus.

what would a foreign adversary do differently as part of a coordinated attack

I like when you see Cheetos in a commercial and someone has poured them into a big glass bowl because that’s really what you’re looking for in your Cheetos experience is to have a dish too big for the dishwasher that needs to be cleaned

You're saying the billionaire's operation is like an octopus? An octopus? Huh, where have I heard that one before?

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

A guy got really angry at me today for using the phrase “50 year old South Park guy” and he looked about 50 years old and I said “do you watch South Park?” and he was like “look, that’s not important right now”

Remember friends, if you want to make future history addicts happy, hide messages for them everywhere you can at any opportunity! Lift a floorboard, fix a wall, brick up a hole... put something in there! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Quite the consequential Friday night massacre. They not only took out three top military leaders, but also the JAG officers who interpret what’s lawful and constitutional for military command.

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

I was inspired to do a little something, based on a comment @prisonculture.bsky.social made earlier this week, and put together this flyer with federal policy actions that happened this week. I hope people find this useful!

Idiocracy was a documentary

this kind of shit made sense back when musk was still widely admired and seen as non-political but the most recent polling shows he's hilariously unpopular, like 10-15 points lower than Trump's own low approval ratings. People hate this motherfucker! You don't need to clear your throat first

I like sharing local coverage like this because it's puts to rest the bs re: no protests: steveahlquist.substack.com/p/providence...

My daughter and her friends made this “Remy cake.” And having seen it, I must now walk into the sea.
