83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

“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.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Hedgseth is also unfit to shine her shoes

I’m often asked, “OK, I get it. Everything is terrible. But what can I do to stop this?” Well, I have no idea, because I’m not you. However, I can give you examples when I see them. Empathy + Strength is the enemy’s kryptonite. Be Like Chris Kluwe. www.mind-war.com/p/be-like-ch...

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Imagine being too far-right and Nazi-like for the French far-right: "French far-right leader cancels US speech after ex Trump aide Bannon appeared to make 'Nazi gesture'"

swear to god if this were a movie script the studio would send notes back saying "tone it down, no one's gonna buy this"

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Just saved $8,000,000,000 by making up numbers #finance

On this, a note: DOJ filed a document Tuesday in E.D. Va. acknowledging that "the Acting U.S. Digital Service Administrator" is a defendant in a lawsuit. DOJ does not disclaim the existence of such a person, but DOJ also does not name the person or mention that role again in their brief.

And listen up you dickless bags of hair, because this Gulf of America bullshit is so stupid it makes flat-earthers look like goddamn Nobel Prize winners. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

universe, grant me the confidence of a mediocre white man.

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

"KKR Is Said to Make £4 Billion Equity Bid for Thames Water" Time to once again refer the Labour government to @chrismwhayes.bsky.social's detailed diagram. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

i want to meet the people who think "he's not keeping his promises on egg prices" are an appropriate counter message to this.

Stansbury: "What it looks like is they are trying to further rig the system. What does the SEC? It regulates the stock market. Why are billionaires trying to take over control of the stock market? It is the place where money is made ... same with the FCC."

I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it. This is the way…

it’s so bad I’m getting “political” on LinkedIn

NEW EP 877: "Resistance Theater" 📽️ Two powerful WWII-era films: "Passage to Marseilles" (1944) and "Pimpernel Smith" (1941) have messages of resistance to fascism that are all too timely as MAGA forces try to erase history while reality keeps having other plans. www.buzzsprout.com/229/episodes...

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

one of my favorite things about teaching my “bad mothers in literature” course is hearing that students call their mothers & talk to them about the material. on my good days I feel I’m helping facilitate the process of seeing your own mother as human for my students. this feels important.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

Los Angeles peeps—spread the word about ICE. We won’t know for sure until it happens, but better safe than sorry. Be prepared.

The man should never pay for a meal for the rest of his life.

This is it exactly. Mock these toadies right to their faces.

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.
