Here in #DC to tell the fascist vandals of America, #HandsOff our #democracy, #RuleOfLaw, #CleanAir, #CleanWater, #CleanEnergy, #SocialSecurity, #HealthCare, #science, and #VulnerableCommunities.

Did you lose your mind Economist.com? https://www.economist.com/leaders/2025/04/01/why-marine-le-pen-should-be-allowed-to-run-for-president

Don’t ever tell me pressure doesn’t matter. “Target suffers eighth week of foot-traffic losses since caving on DEI Costco, which resisted demands to end DEI, extends its streak of foot-traffic gains to 13.” […]

Hmm, someone seems to have come up with a protest chant... Sign says: GET OUT ELON! GO TO MARS! WE DON'T WANT YOUR NAZI CARS! #TeslaTakeDown #Tesla #Politics #USPol

You can hardly find a studio the works of which are so thoughtful, kind, and intentional as Studio Ghibli. To stripmine that for its aesthetics, to take a piece of cardboard and paint it like food and say "See, doesn't this taste just as good?" is more than missing the point, it's barbaric […]

Come on, Israelis—this is bullshit. Oscar-winning Palestinian director is attacked by Israeli settlers and detained by the army https://apnews.com/article/no-other-land-oscar-israel-palestinians-084c63f33e748a3279646759e9b705c2

When I was a waiter I'd ask people "Would you like soup or salad?" One said, "Maybe, what's in the Super Salad?"

"This is a genuine constitutional emergency. As we speak, government officials have forbidden journalists from reporting and broadcasting the news,” begins plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order and injunction in the Widakuswara v. Lake complaint.

"Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the courage to brawl for the working class" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/23/bernie-sanders-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-democrats I take heart from this news for two reasons. First, I like #Bernie and #AOC. It's encouraging to see them […]

Good news from the Wired - who is leading all other media on accurate, timely, insightful and important news on #trump #maga #doge #democracy Starting today, @wired.com will be putting stories based on #publicrecords outside the paywall. Maybe this will help with #FOIA officers who deny my […]

Current mood:

I’m on Team Fight. I will support electeds who fight back, clearly and unequivocally, against Republican Fascism, whether from the federal executive or legislative branches or in the states.

A fond, sad farewell to #UrbanDead and my fellow Galbraith Hills Defense Unit #GHDU teammates. Hadn’t thought much of it in a decade, but it was a low-key obsession for a couple years, and to this day stands out as archetype of someone making a texty MMO just for the hell of it. Also, fuck the […]

Here’s AOC, showing the way. https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/13/politics/ocasio-cortez-schumer-democratic-shutdown-plan/index.html

So, a history question: if the Roman Empire originated in Rome, how does Greece get 1400+ years of empire to Italy’s 800-1000?

< gulps first coffee a bit too soon> ¥@!#%! …guess I’m not doing anything with those taste buds for a couple days…

What's the most common feedback/comment I've received over the past month? "I used to like reading your stuff when you didn't write about politics all the time." My response: Me too. But they've left me no choice at this point. If you think tech isn't politics and vice versa, you probably […]

As OP said, these numbers speak pretty loudly:

Democrat Representatives: If you text/email/call me, complaining about some bull crap that the Republicans are doing, but don’t tell me your plan to solve it, or what you’ve been doing for your constituents, I will block you and report you as spam.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

I love this woman. 💪🏼 Via AOC: I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

If you're expressing "bewilderment" abt why Trump would betray US allies for Putin, you probably need to go back & read what Trump was up to when Mike Flynn investigation halted negotiations w/Kirill Dmitriev, who has picked up right where that left off. www.emptywheel.net/2025/03/02/r...
