Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

goddamnit the wrong lex luthor died

Do not normalize frickin’ Nazi salutes. For crying out loud.

Again, it is not enough to throw up your hands and say "well every platform hosts Nazis." Substack is not merely a hosting platform. They make editorial decisions when they pay people like Bari Weiss to launch media outlets. They pay Nazis and have said they refuse to demonetize them. So... yeah.

My morning routine is super important. Like if I don't have enough caffeine and news of the outside world to help me properly catastrophize the rest of the day, I just feel off, you know?

“Ultimately, we want lawyers who give sound constitutional advice and don’t exist to attempt to be roadblocks to anything that happens in their spots.” TRANSLATION: Trump and I want lawyers who won’t warn or try to stop us when we order the US military to do anything illegal. It’s coming. Soon.

1. AUDIO On Monday in Fairbanks, Congressman Nick Begich (R-AK) told a constituent laid off from a job with the federal gov't that there was nothing he could do to stop budget cuts imposed by DOGE and Elon Musk Begich said he was "not in a position to approve or deny the cuts"

A once-great, now-rotted-out ship called the United States is being sunk by the United States because nothing else can be done with it. This is not a metaphor. I mean, not ONLY a metaphor. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

Ex NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social protesting the inclusion of a MAGA acronym in the Huntington Beach library plaque at last night’s council meeting. He was arrested and cited.

My new map app. Haven’t chosen a name for my Gulf yet.

Trump: "We have a very corrupt country. Very corrupt country. And it's a sad thing to say ... if you take all of those millions of people off social security, all of the sudden we have a very powerful social security."

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

So…they’re building a border wall to keep ducks and geese away from chickens?? And didn’t they just fire all the scientists in the government? And I thought they were anti-medication. I could go on.

concentration camps for mentally ill people. just horrific.

Bleakly funny that some of these legislators still know so little about what they're railing against that they write bill language that tries to ban "any programs, including academic programs or courses, or offices that promote or endorse . . . heteronormativity" and think that's what they wanted.

Believing that Tulsi Gabbard — longtime Russian asset and newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

Once again, there's value to having a constitutional law professor in Congress.

farcical

Happy International Day of Women in Science. The National Science Foundation’s list of flagged words includes both “Women” and “Female.”

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

Posted around NYC, Chicago, DC and other cities. Be creative. Do something!

Seriously going out of their way to be bigoted assholes

please my friends, if you can afford to buy yourself some little something from an artist or musician you dig, PLEASE DO SO!

O, were mine eyeballs into bullets turn’d, That I in rage might shoot them at your faces!

If you are on a college campus, please review what is allowed and how to protect your students. Remember, most ICE raids do not have warrants. They aren't allowed in classrooms, labs, offices, and other non-public spaces. And if you know the student they are asking about? NO YOU FUCKING DON'T.

they hired a reality TV star to run the DOT and then had Elon Musk try to fire all the air traffic controllers and gut aviation regulations. Predictable results occurring

Not me rooting for the CIA to do dodgy CIA shit...

1. Oh look they're all men. 2. Bounties, already in place and spreading, encourage and effectively legalize this behavior

#findthehelpers

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

i am reminded that in moments of tyranny, our imagination ffor better & for black futures is the first thing to be seized. for my 5th (!) annual 28 films for the 28 days of black history month, i highlighted 28 black cinematic visions of resistance, childlike wonder, and unending imagination:

As a veteran software / IT guy, I continue to be amazed by how little coverage Musk’s blatant ongoing takeover of federal IT systems is getting in the media. Yes, all the other unconstitutional acts of this admin are significant, but this single act is a disaster that is likely already irreparable.

Elon Musk, who has taken control of the US Treasury and is bragging about unilaterally cutting off payments to disfavored populations worldwide in defiance of Congress and the American people, is nowhere to be found on the homepage of the New York Times. @nytimes.com, this is pathetic.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

At. Gunpoint. Musk is telling duly appointed and security cleared government officials that they will be shot if they don't turn over to Musk sensitive information to which he has no right. In any other country, we'd call it a coup.

We’re all saying “he can’t” or “it’s not legal” or whatever, but no one is DOING anything to stop it.

look this is all going to suck a lot for everyone but I do think it's important to take this special tariffs moment to say to all the "he won't actually do the tariffs tho, it's just words, he won't really do it" people from the very bottom of my heart my loudest and most heartfelt "i told you so"

Elections have consequences, not coincidences. Week 1, Laying the foundation for tragedy after tragedy. Week 2, Trump Air Disaster.
