30 years ago, Hillary Clinton stood at the World Conference on Women & spoke facts. Women’s rights are human rights & human rights are women’s rights. She’s a fighter, a leader, & 1 of the greatest allies we've ever seen. Hillary, this #CupOfJoe is for you with gratitude. #InternationalWomensDay

Bonkers story. Trump’s DoD is using AI to flag posts and photos that feature women and LGBT people. So now, any material that references the Enola Gay, the aircraft that drops a nuclear bomb in Japan, has been marked for deletion. apnews.com/article/dei-...

Which begs the question...and seriously, I'm begging for an answer to this question...what are we getting in return? We're stopping offensive cyber ops v. Russia? Are they returning the favor? We're stopping blocking foreign attempts to interfere in our elections? Are they reciprocating?

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy. All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

BREAKING: By a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court LIFTS its hold on a lower court order compelling the Trump administration to resume nearly $2 billion in foreign aid funding. The funds MUST be disbursed. Roberts and Barrett join the liberals. Obviously, this is huge. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Tariffs UP. Groceries UP. Exports DOWN. Stock market DOWN. Consumer confidence DOWN. Chance of a recession UP UP UP. After Trump left, it took Biden 4 years to rebuild the US economy. It’s taken Trump just 6 weeks to destroy it again.

So, wait, the plan is for Trump to crash the markets, destroy people's savings, push up prices with tariffs, crush economic growth, and then gut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security? While firing tens of thousands of federal workers? The concept of a plan is a depression?

Will people stop treating the Trump Ukraine mineral deal like serious diplomacy please? First, it is extortion. Second, it is dumb. There is no proof they have rare earths and many of their minerals are in regions the Russians control. Third, it is just Trump PR, very likely unimplementable.

We had Russia on the ropes. They were crippled by sanctions. They had made minimal headway into Ukraine. Putin had to survive a military uprising within his own ranks. He was down to pleading for conscripts from North Korea. Then he played his ace in the hole. Donald Motherfucking Trump.

Hillary Clinton told you the truth about Trump and Putin. You didn't vote for her and she was right about everything. Kamala Harris told you the truth about Trump and Putin. You didn't vote for her and she was right about everything. I hope your misogyny was worth losing your democracy. Dummies.

Musk, who doesn't have to ever face voters, will do what he can to undermine Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Will be interesting if that leads to conflicts with Republicans who worry about the electoral perils of screwing Americans whose lives depend on these programs.
