This FT article makes a very good case for studying the arts if you want to be a more flexible thinker - on.ft.com/3XU1y2w

Whoever did this—buy them a drink. ☠️🤣

Dear Decent Human Beings in the Military and Law Enforcement, If you are ordered to violate the Constitution by this president, please disobey. The millions who served, suffered, and died before you deserve your courage now.

Andrew Cuomo is a corrupt shithead.

The most infantile thin-skinned crybaby to ever hold national office.

Republicans are traitors.

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

@peggystuart.bsky.social Thanks for the follow 💙.

"...will these cogs in a gulag machine fall back on the canard that they were 'just following orders'? [...] Shouldn’t the key architects and willing participants pay a price for what they are doing?" share.inquirer.com/HPUKGM

Warren: "There is no tariff policy. It's just all chaos and corruption. That's all we have going on. And how can you believe any of these guys?

When this is over and the Trump regime has fallen, Marco Rubio is one among many who's going to jail.

White men created a government never meant to serve women, slaves or the poor. 1 white man prevented America's only black president the right to nominate a supreme court justice. 1 white man is destroying the world's economy. We need to build back better. Oligarchy or Democracy? Choose now. Resist

Fuck this narcissistic junkie.

Abysmally evil and stupid.

Can't get past the paywall, but any arts organization accepting money from these MAGA assholes needs to take a long, hard look at its mission and mandate.

#UNION members have known that DJT was scum ever since the 1970s.

When this is over and the Trump regime has fallen, Marco Rubio is only one among the many who will go to jail.

Fuckin A right. #UNION

Fighting the oligarchy with 36,000 new friends today. Thanks for pulling us together, Bernie.

Thanks to your reports, we have created a tracker of college campus Visa revocations. Please continue to let us know if you hear of these (names of colleges and number of revocations). www.wearehighered.org/campus-abduc...

One President wildly exceeded his authority by forgiving some student loans; a different President barely scratched the surface of his authority by disappearing anyone he pleases without trial to a foreign gulag. Constitutional law is a serious intellectual enterprise.

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.

They're not fucking smart. They're high on their own fucking supply. It's important to understand that.

Fuck Bill Maher.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.
