ok so...I think we need a laughing/crying emoji like this because I keep finding myself laughing at Shitlerist antics and crying because they are in charge of our lives. So it's not like laughing so hard you're crying.

Has anyone seen a lawsuit filed yet regarding the "clawback" Musk made of Congressionally appropriated funds from an aid recipient's Citibank account? When it occurred I worried that if he can do that to a Citibank account, he could do that to my bank account (to clawback social security, etc.).

“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy dancing naked in front of a window and getting his hairy nipple licked on reality TV. This is who Trump put in charge of the country’s flight safety.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

I think I'm going to have to log off of the internet for a bit before the news cycle breaks my brain entirely. Hundreds of millennia of human evolution have not provided us the cognitive tools required to process this level of administrative chaos.

Word is that Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted will be tapped to take over Vance's Senate seat. I had the opportunity to speak to him privately, in a professional capacity in 2005 as he was assuming the office of Ohio's speaker of the House. Folks: he is the stupidest motherfucker I've ever encountered.
