DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

I am less optimistic than @ilangoldenberg.bsky.social. I think it will undoubtedly make it worse, inflaming more hatred against Jews. It’s hard not to suspect that’s a feature, not a bug of many related steps the administration is taking.

A doctor has been serving one of Baltimore’s poorest neighborhoods for decades — and if his patients can’t pay, that’s OK with him. So when he was diagnosed with cancer, his community rallied to raise $100,000 for his treatments.

“What’s transpired over the last three or four days just takes it to a whole new level of cruelty and inhumanity and, frankly, a whole new level of stupidity in doing this is the most non-strategic way.” Tens of thousands of people will die as a result of this action. www.salon.com/2025/02/28/a...

you can’t negotiate with this administration because they’re just making shit up 24/7 this is flatly untrue and everyone involved knows it, what is Canada supposed to do here? the world will simply have to disconnect from America to the best of their ability

Raskin: "Really, if we were censuring anyone, it should've been Donald Trump, who I don't think had been back to our chamber since he incited a violence insurrection against us. And then he used his pulpit in order to call a sitting member of the Senate 'Pocahontas.'"

Never in my wildest dreams did I think an American president could set the bar so low

An Arkansas man who produced jars of the lethal poison ricin on his property with the intention of setting traps for trespassers was sentenced to eight years in prison for possessing a biological agent, prosecutors said.

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario is the single largest purchaser of alcohol in the world. The Premier of Ontario ordered them to stop purchasing American products. No restaurant, no grocery store, no one anywhere in Ontario, can find American booze. FAFO, MAGAts. 🇨🇦

We need more people like Frankie in the world.

Canada will soon have a new Liberal Leader and a new Prime Minister #LiberalLeadershipRace #Canada #cdnpoli

Judge Crawford: I think that is exactly why Elon Musk is spending millions of dollars on these phony attack ads against me and trying to get Brad Schimel on the Supreme Court. We need to have a Wisconsin Supreme Court that’s working for the people of Wisconsin, not one that is working for Elon Musk

It’s borderline criminal.

Pass it on: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Reports of our demise might have been premature
