btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, *to us*

elon musk at cpac was so fucking weird you guys I know this reads like a parody but I literally just wrote down what happened www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

SPLC deliberately gutted its Hatewatch imprint. They have no full time investigative reporters working in the intelligence project, which covers the radical right. They moved the editor of Hatewatch into the comms department. Spend your money elsewhere during Trump II.

Get to go yell at the library commission tonight because they think that this piece of shit design is appropriate for a 50 year celebration. It’s not just fascist, it’s also ugly as fuck.

Kevin Hassett on Trump's avian flu plan: "What we need to do is have better ways w/ bio-security & medication & so on to make sure that the perimeter doesn't have to kill the chickens. To have a better, smarter, perimeter...they're killing chickens to stop the spread, but chickens don't really fly"

NIICCCEEEE! Get it, Canada!

The Trump administration has just announced that all college financial aid programs, scholarships, prizes, housing, and graduation ceremonies that help Black or Latino students are now considered to be illegal. The Education Department accuses colleges of discriminating against white students.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Trump’s latest executive order (that was no doubt written by psychopath RFK Jr.) goes after antidepressants. As someone whose life was saved by them, you will pry my prozac from my cold dead hands. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Who’s the deep state now? This is Saturday Night Massacre level shit—Manhattan’s top federal prosecutor and five other senior officials resigned Thursday rather than obey a Justice Department order to drop corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.

This fucker would get ejected out of a mass grave for ruining the vibe

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

If you got married and changed your name, you may not be able to register to vote if the SAVE Act passes. This law will impact millions of married women, as well as trans folks. This is not a joke, call your Congresspeople.

Obvi.

Damn wow never considered that if i redefined unemployment to mean people who are employed that unemployment is high! I should write for Politico!

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

a funny rumor from the same tech sources that told me Elon was angling to be shadow president: Elon has more children than is publicly known. like, a lot more. a lot lot more

Yes he is.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

Great point.

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in
