“If anyone is being detained or removed based on the administration’s assertion that it can do so without judicial review or due process,” said Columbia law professor Jamal Greene, “the president is asserting dictatorial power & ‘constitutional crisis’ doesn’t capture the gravity of the situation.”

White Republican (J. Wilson) jeering moderate Black president at a time when heckling a POTUS was unheard of (2009): PARTISAN VOTE OF DISAPPROVAL Black Democrat (A. Green) protesting fascist white president after years of Republicans heckling a Democratic POTUS (2025): BIPARTISAN CENSURE Got it.

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who agrees that ANYONE who can't easily admit that Russia invaded Ukraine is a Putin bootlicker, a Russian stooge, and a moronic fucking asshole. Russia invaded Ukraine, folks. PERIOD. h/t: @acyn.bsky.social

I'm embarrassed to be an American right now. I hate knowing that the rest of the world thinks Americans are pieces of shit. I do not stand with this administration. These horrific, nazi ghouls do not represent me or what I think America should be. I stand with Zelensky and the people of Ukraine. 🇺🇦

BREAKING: 24 senior leaders have resigned and regions have been consolidated from 10 to 4 at the Social Security Administration. We're SCREWED! THIS IS A 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 CALL YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS: 202-224-3121 socsecnews.blogspot.com/2025/02/even...

Lindsey Graham immediately following up an Oval Office meeting at which Trump and Vance disgraced themselves and the United States with a call for Zelenskyy to leave Ukraine's presidency only makes me feel more strongly that this whole event today was pre-planned and in service of Kremlin interests.

Wouldn't it just be a damn shame if EVERYONE emailed their five accomplishments, or 5 thoughts, or insults for Elon, to OPM as they requested of federal employees, thereby crashing the site? Sounds like good trouble to me. PASS IT ON.

5.  Tried to figure out how to handle a childcare issue because an employee and his spouse have been ordered back off TW and have no child care available So yeah, I didn’t get anything done worth a crap Paul Navy civilian employee Ready to quit

3.  Wrote a defense of a budget line that has the word “environment” in it which has been targeted for zeroing out 4.  Developed a defense against  what an 8% across the board cut would look like on our programs

#ElonsOPM. Here’s my response: If I answer considering this: 1.  Counseled probationary hire on what their options might be to fight getting fired 2.  Tried to find parking solutions for my 8 employees who now have 1 parking pass between all 8 of them at the Navy Yard

We have known this for years. Why is everyone so surprised. But it’s scary how little reporting there is here in US

I’m going to enjoy writing that letter. And if it gets me fired I’ll be sooo thankful for the legal fodder

If this isn’t sickening to you, you haven’t been paying attention…

This…

Hillary was right about this fucking puppet.

Jeez

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

This man is openly threatening to withhold aid until a state complies with him. There's a word for this, i just know it....

“If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.” www.propublica.org/article/doge...

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

Amen.

I am not at Gulf of Mexico. Just liked the assertiveness of this meme. Lunatics won’t make me accept their phony baloney bs. Still i persist. Nite nite Love you guys🥰🥰😴😴

They will try to sideline Ukraine input

"the Department of Veterans Affairs announced the dismissal of more than 1,000 employees who had served for less than two years. That included researchers working on cancer treatment, opioid addiction, prosthetics and burn pit exposure, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat, said Thursday."

It's the Gulf of Mexico, and it will always be the Gulf of Mexico, no matter how many deluded fucks try to rename it, and I truly hope all other news organizations stand in solidarity with Associated Press against the insane bullshit.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

The issue isn’t whether Universal Healthcare can work. The issue is how do we get from where we are to UH. It took Canada decades and it has a ton of limits we might not like. The point being we have to find a starting point that can grow it into what works here www.canada.ca/en/health-ca...

there’s going to be a lot of this as wealthy coastal real estate goes - rich guy furious at system he sits at the top of

the most perverse thing about social media is it makes me feel that if I don't comment on something terrible (ie. the fires in LA), it'll make people think I don't care about or that I even endorse it. Not everyone needs to hear my stupid thoughts on terrible things.

The LA Dream Center is doing great work to help people at 2301 BELLEVUE AVE LOS ANGELES, CA 90026 Here’s the link if you’d like to help out and donate donate.dreamcenter.org/donate?amoun...

"Update: Anyone who has left LA and headed south. You are welcome at our restaurant, 16600 PCH, 92649. We have a large parking lot, you can stay as long as you need and camp out. We will provide free meals for all of those affected," the chef wrote. #LAFires #KindnessMatters #ChefGruel

Yep. The LA fires have made it abundantly clear the response will always be: 1) Blame environmentalists 2) Try to buy their way out of it. Tbh Australia has now had a 20 years of so of bushfires being blamed on Green groups.

Heart breaks for this Palisades neighborhood. Fuck Trump.

The selfless acts we're seeing as we fight the fires in Los Angeles are extraordinary — Good Samaritans jumping to aid neighbors. Humanitarians like Chef Jose Andres providing meals to responders. Bipartisan support from leaders across the country. California thanks you for your generosity.

I’m so sad for this. Palisades neighborhood.
