Hands off our democracy Musk and Trump!

going to have to make a bot to post this at 4pm every day at this rate

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

Quit freaking out. Remember that in 10,000 B.C., when America had ZERO international trade, a family could afford a house like this on a single income.

wokeness was keeping the economy afloat. wokeness kept planes in the air. wokeness kept us all safe

Actual stolen election and it’s barely getting media attention!

Big tech could care less about letting the earth burn. They just spent millions electing an arsonist.

She looks beautiful in my favorite color 💜

I was the same ages and this tracks.

the most effective thing you can do right now is call up any GOP congressmember in a district you have a connection to, tell them you voted for them, but that you’re freaking out because your 401k is plummeting and grocery prices are going to go up

Would be nice if congress could remember it is illegal for the president to unilaterally impose tariffs

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

This was….five months ago

Anyone know how long it takes to build a factory and train a workforce?

I really hope the Republican Party pays for this stupid policy.

This is incredible. The "reciprocal tariffs" were calculated without actually looking at anything to do with tariffs. This is the most amateur-hour crap you can imagine and it's going to straight tank the global economy.

It would require years of pain to actually create the momentum to make more things here. If I were a business no way I’d invest with an administration that changes its mind every other day. Uncertainty is risk and risk is the most expensive thing. So dumb.

And they said Biden was senile…

I mean who doesn’t want to pay 25% more for a car!

Using EPA air permits to crush offshore wind and allow more fossil fuel generation is insane.

Trump’s Liberation Day! Liberating millions of Americans from our stock market gains & retirement savings. Liberating us from the burden of having loyal democratic allies. Liberating shoppers from affordable vegetables, cars, & medicine. Liberating us from our Constitution.

I spent the last four months organizing what I believe to be the biggest and best music festival fundraiser for trans rights to ever happen in the US. In Washington DC of all places. Please buy a ticket and spread the word. 😁

I never understood how people thought his policies would lower costs.

This will kill people literally.

This thread is a must read.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are gleefully trying to put millions of Americans out of work is something more and more people should be repeating

March 31st is Trans Day of Visibility.

I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.

Trans rights are human rights.

These people instinctively view due process -- and more generally, *rights* -- as a kind of treat, a privilege, that the hegemonic group extends to marginalized groups ... and can yank away the moment it gets anxious.

Unbelievably damning that the 'opposition' party *in this country* couldn't be bothered to do some earned media ads like this

Did you know that all the generators on the power grid are spinning in sync with each other? The grid has a heartbeat and each and every machine connected to it must follow the rhythm. This includes the machines in your home! Your buzzing fridge compressor is beating in time with the same heart.

Define "greenwashing"

People were mean to him on Twitter, so he bought Twitter. People were still mean to him, so he bought the US government. And he is going to use it to hunt down those bad people!

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

Yep

Thats the con with this whole thing. Republican representatives can just ask for their cancellations to be overturned. They are destroying all the educated jobs that dem voters have too. The government has never been weaponized to this level before.

Maryland we need to do better.

Another concerning move.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

This is the wildest story I have literally ever read. In any normal circumstances, a half-dozen senior officials would be forced to resign over this—starting with the National Security Advisor. And I doubt anyone will face any accountability at all.

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.
