Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

Florida protests scheduled for Monday, February 17th.

The mainstream media is still ignoring the Russian national arrested for voter fraud in Florida (Tik Tok link)

. So when exactly do the ‘checks’ and ‘balances’ part kick in? Or is that just a fun little slogan like ‘thoughts and prayers’?

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

Remind us — was “worth the pain” his campaign slogan? 🤷🏼‍♂️ thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

THREAD: All Democrats should join Senators Murray and Merkley in demanding a stop to Russell Vought’s nomination as OMB Director. OMB is freezing funding at 5pm today.

These orders aren’t coming from Donald Trump. He’s the useful idiot for Heritage Foundation, the 100 organizations that wrote Project 2025, and the donors that paid $25M+ to fund it. They aren’t even scrubbing the meta data off the PDF’s.

not that this particular mechanism really matters anymore but demanding that federal employees take a loyalty oath to the president is imo an impeachable offense

As a father of five kids, I totally agree with this evergreen post.

The fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M. Beautiful.

Fact-check..

My DEI money will be spent in DEI spaces.

Getting a library card is punk as fuck and free!

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

15 years after Citizens United, which transformed every corporate treasury in America into a potential political slush fund, we now see the result: government of billionaires, by oligarchs, for plutocrats.

It took Trump 3 hours to delete the Spanish version of the White House website and the White House’s Spanish Twitter account. Trump won 42% of the Hispanic vote.

Trump "saved" TikTok in the same way an arsonist "saves" a house he set on fire by throwing a glass of water on the flames.

Don’t despair. We’re in The Empire Strikes Back phase. Regroup on Hoth. Practice in Dagobah. Don’t give in to hate. Know what to pay attention to and what to not let knock you off balance. Here’s a great primer on some Jedi skills on how to do that. www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/how-to-pay...

This stunt with TikTok genuinely reminds me of an abusive relationship… the constant anxiety and uncertainty is manufactured by the abuser to manipulate and control. It feels like 170 million Americans were gaslit and abused today. It’s a gross feeling and I don’t like it.

This turns out to have not been a particularly tricky prediction.

I let go of the Washington post and the New York Times. Deleted face book and Instagram. What are you using for your news sources now? I really don't watch tv. Bought a subscription to the Atlantic, it's good. Looking for another reliable alternative. Damn I miss a good newspaper. I'm old.

My boy Tigger. Absolute rascal

For the people in the back…

As Chicago braces for potential Trump deportations, here are some tips on how to stay safe and what to do. I hate this. But please spread the word. youtube.com/shorts/FH0-_...
