DEMOCRATS: You are committing a historic error right now. The federal government is collapsing and you are paralyzed. You seem unable to even address half the stuff that's happening because it does fit into your pre-fab vision of what good political rhetoric sounds like. You are failing America.

bird flu is festering in dairy cattle, and unlike with chickens, there is no federal program to contain it. instead of creating one Trump is gutting the USDA and CDC, specifically its disease control programs www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/o...

Trump May have tried to fire a bunch of IGs anyhow, but this makes it look quite like he conducted a purge as a cover to kill one investigation in particular. newrepublic.com/article/1913...

Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops.

What's absolutely maddening about this moment is that media refuses to pay attention to Musk and Vance's neo-Nazi connections because they feel like it's unserious Twitter stuff... except, Musk and Vance take it so seriously they're putting these people in charge of the entire US government

Well it's a simple problem: your lib coworker takes trump seriously but doesn't have the social media vocab to look cool, while your primary concern is avoiding cringe. What I would ask is: which one of you is less of an asset to fascism

this agreement says the employee waives any claim he might have stemming from his employment OR the deferred resignation offer itself, which to me reads like they're saying that if you sign it, you waive your ability to sue them if they breach it

The era of the independent DOJ is over, aided and abetted by the media that covered Biden's strenuous efforts to work within it as more scandalous than Trump's promises to destroy it.

i am very struck by how the trump program is fundamentally that americans need to be poorer and suffer more material deprivation

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

One of the first things Orban did in Hungary when he returned to office was to remove job protections from civil servants to pursue a political purge of the disloyal, and secure control of state power. This is also what Trump is planning to do with Schedule F.

People have pushed back on the “separate the art from artist” thing to the point where they only want to admire “good” artists. What if folks just like whatever they want and we talk about why these things are terrible regardless of who does them?

there's no rule of law in the United States anymore. Gone. Vanished. Only decrees by the Supreme Court Gang of Six and their lackies on the lower courts. Soon their king takes his throne.

I’ve been reading about the Hollywood Blacklist lately and one striking thing about it is that it never would have happened had the studios just told HUAC to go screw but instead the pre-emptively capitulated and it just got worse and worse. See also: how WWII started
