Dear #SNL: prison rape jokes are never funny. An entire skit about it is beyond belief. #snl50

Insurance driven healthcare is from satan

Social media, it turns out, is the problem.

Had the extreme pleasure 🙃 of talking to a disgruntled MN landlord today, who blames “the detroitification of St Paul” on the governor and the mayor and the general craziness of liberal Minnesota. Dude, your racism is showing.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

For those that give a hoot about this kind of thing. #SuperbOwl 🦉

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Why not? It worked on Feb 5. #50501

Hi @ilhanmn.bsky.social : do you know why?

With photos, no less.

ouch

Onion war etwas früh dran. 2024 stimmte aber.

The only question is whether lawsuits and injunctions and judges can roll this all back. With Judge Nancy Gertner and @mjsdc.bsky.social slate.com/podcasts/ami...

"The United States is in the throes of a constitutional collapse that is a function of Elon Musk & DOGE, not elected, not a government agency..." Few mainstream voices are speaking with the clarity & urgency of the moment as @dahlialithwick.bsky.social. youtu.be/kGHAy9M1_WQ?...

SO BEAUTIFUL

"As their country is destroyed, Americans must be denied the idea that anything else is possible." Don't believe them. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

Since the newly appointed fraudster to the “White House Faith Office” is trending, I thought I’d bring back the remix of one of Paula White’s crazy ass sermons. Enjoy!🙃 🔊🔊🔊VOLUME UP!!!🔊🔊🔊

Thank you @repjasmine.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Who is helping Elon Musk gut the US government? Musk has assembled loyalists who largely lack government experience and who range from tech elites to maga diehards. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Another example of Trump/Musk policy killing people around the world. In the Thai-Myanmar border migrant camp Umpiem Mai, home to more than 10,000 displaced people, staff departure triggered by USAID cuts, forced sick patients to return home and multiple patients, relying on oxygen support, died.

Similarly, Aimé Césaire, in _Discourse on Colonialism_, drew the line directly from the colonizer mentalité to fascism, arguing fascism was the inevitable result of violent imperial racism. Hitler, he argued, wasn't an innovator per se; he simply turned colonizer logic on Europeans themselves.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Shutting down USAID is not about efficiency—it’s about undermining America’s global leadership. USAID counters extremism, fights diseases, and creates more markets for U.S. exports. This is reckless and dangerous.

An unelected billionaire now has unprecedented access to U.S. citizens' Social Security, tax returns, and even veteran benefits. This is an alarming breach of trust and privacy.

Do you think?🤔 “U.S. government officials privately warn Musk’s blitz appears illegal” (Washington Post headline)

An unelected billionaire now has access to the Treasury's payment systems—home to some of the most sensitive data, including millions of Social Security numbers and bank account information. This is a massive data privacy and security risk.

Is there even one brave Republican?

The consequences of shutting down USAID will be felt worldwide, but also here at home. Our farmers feed the world, and cutting off exports through USAID programs will be a huge blow to rural economies across the country.

🥚 🍳 preach, Senator
