The amount of waste this will produce is insane. Everyone will have to throw away their current "incompatible" power tools. & DOGE coins? Really!? Cause those won't wind up in a landfill... Standardized voltages & connectors makes much more sense. MONOPOLY www.protoolreviews.com/doge-mandate...

Pay attention to who he is hurting most with these cuts.

No exceptions

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.

#GVerse #Attention: Protesters are surrounding the building in Green Bay, Wisconsin ahead of #FuckMusk’s town hall. Repost!!!

Because we don't care about peace, or attention to detail. This is how we win.

Canadians, please don't join us

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.

Wisconsin's Supreme Court race is now the most expensive court race in U.S. history — largely due to donations from out-of-state billionaires. As Justice Louis Brandeis said, we can have great wealth in the hands of a few, or we can have democracy, but we can't have both.

Trump has dropped over 100 enforcement actions against corporations. That includes 10 corporations that have donated to or allied with him — like SpaceX, crypto corporation Coinbase, and private prison corporation GEO Group. This is corruption of the highest degree.

"Roberts’s immunity ruling not only gutted Smith’s case against Trump, it also sent a clear message: If Trump won the election, he could freely engage in even more egregious crimes. As later events would demonstrate, Trump got the message loud and clear." — @davidrlurie.bsky.social

Efforts to erase trans people will not be successsful. Today is a day for visibility of this community that's under fierce attack. #TransDayOfVisibility

You heard it from God

More evil and more incompetence www.krqe.com/news/albuque...

Remember: The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

Trump pulled Stefanik’s U.N. abassador nomination to protect her House seat because Democrats are surging, even in deep-red districts. Add in a flipped seat, Fox News hosts getting humiliated, and some surprise court wins, and you’ve got a Week In Wins worth reading.

Weak Sauce

The White House Correspondents Association shouldn’t cancel their comedian. They should cancel the president. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Save PBS!

Don't worry they said, it'll be better they said

No one should be treated this way. They even offered to self deport but it was denied so they wound up in cuffs like criminals. They're crime? Following the law to a T 😡 abc7.com/post/orange-...

Your daily fortune: Live your life like a wild llama - fierce, free, and incredibly shaggy.

. Private prisons aren’t about justice—they’re about profit. More inmates = more $$$ so they lobby for harsher laws & longer sentences. They exploit prisoners for cheap labor while taxpayers foot the bill. Modern-day slavery disguised as ‘corrections.’ #AbolishPrivatePrisons #Weed #Jail .

Backwards and backwards we go

Yup

But then who is Due Process for? We are NOT a nation built on guilty until proven innocent!

Are we “Great” yet?

It always has been

The reason DEI exists is so that competent, qualified people don't get passed over in favor of mediocre incompetent white men who had a well-connected buddy. Or so that utter morons who share war plans on the group chat don't hire their brother and get away with it bc they're white dudes.

We are pedaling backwards at break-neck speed

Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

Hmmm, they canceled a smart black woman. That sounds about white www.huffpost.com/entry/white-...

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself. He is his own ponzi scheme.

The Nazis culled disabled people. Don't be a Nazi.

As a Jew my loathing for the small but significant number of my fellow American Jews pushing fascism isn’t just principled; it’s personal, rooted in the near-certainty that their obscene actions provide cover for all kinds of antisemitism.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

I fear the time is quickly approaching

Here’s a thought!

it's no longer an administration it's a regime

🤣
