So, if I’m reading this correctly, Congress appropriated a bunch of funds for specific purposes. Musk will be throwing that out the window and disregarding the law they enacted. But individual legislators can call a hotline and beg for their pet projects to be spared. That’s how we’re doing it now.

The actual trajectory of Democratic opposition to Trump since 2016 is that Democrats first engaged in #resistance and cultural progressivism, won the House in 2018, defeated Trump and won a trifecta the year of the George Floyd protests, tacked right under Biden, and lost in 2024.

This. Also, no one ever contrares from the left. Ultimately it's always privileged people arguing that they should be able to retain their privilege.

Nearly all the nominees for health agencies have engaged in spreading COVID disinformation & conspiracy theories over the last 5 years. I can't emphasize enough how dangerous it will be if they are confirmed. Motivated by revenge, they will try to dismantle all critical public health infrastructure.

Extraordinary conversation with a young man living with a disability, and how these cuts are risking all his care. And a reminder that all of us - you, me, everyone you love - will need care at some point.

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts." Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them. This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

Cars are already ridiculously expensive. And my car is nearing retirement. I am laughing at how for the last several years I’ve told myself “this is a really bad time to get a new car” and now it’s going to get so much worse…

⚠️ Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds to Trump administration tariffs by saying China is ready to go to war: “If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end.”

There's something really ominous about people who argue that if we acknowledge that sex work is work, we're opening the door to legalized sexual harassment. Why would you think sex workers not being criminals means you can force someone into sex acts at any workplace, including SWs workplaces?

I think Musk saying he sees empathy as a weakness honestly explains a lot about late-stage capitalism. you cannot gain that kinda wealth unless you have used other people as means to your ends, and most human beings instinctively cannot do that! To be a good capitalist is to cauterize your empathy.

A lot of people are asking why a Trump administration would want to create this chaos. I wrote this in the Guardian almost 12 years ago! We are not just talking about currency exchange here ofc, but for all hedging it holds true: There is less profit in stability, than in chaos. We must grasp this.

I see Labour have admitted out loud that they interpret being "the party of workers" as meaning they're not the party of children, the elderly, the disabled, carers, the chronically ill, asylum seekers, etc. They don't want your votes and they don't respect your lives.
