he’s right and he’s right to say it

they want us poor, sick and desperate

i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

these terminations are good evidence that this is just wanton destruction by deranged ideologues. there is no rhyme or reason other than whatever makes sense to a bunch of zoomer nazis and their bosses and enablers

🧵 PIH condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the Trump Administration's mass termination of United States Government grants and contracts supporting essential health care delivery and humanitarian assistance around the world. Here’s what you need to know—and how you can take action 👇

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

It has come to my attention that not nearly enough of you know about Bernd das Brot, the German children's program about a clinically depressed loaf of bread who enjoys studying his wallpaper and eating gruel and whose catchphrases include "my life is hell" and "I would like to leave this show."

Blinking isn't normal, I never blink #P4A2025

it is beyond clear that for many americans trump is a blank slate who stands for whatever they personally want

So what exactly is the Project for Awesome? Since 2007, my brother @hankgreen.bsky.social and many friends and online creators have come together to host an annual 48-hour livestream in support of great charities. Over the years, we've raised over $22,000,0000 for a huge variety of charities...

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

I’d rather be cool and resigned to fascism than cringe and trying to do something to fight it. by Jeff Maurer and Jesse Singal

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Opinion | As a Republican senator who likes to invoke Reagan, I know America can't afford to have a Russian asset running our national intelligence. But it also can't afford for me to have a primary challenger. Therefore, I will be voting for Tulsi Gabbard as DNI.

What if history just didn't repeat itself, for once?

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

This is not normal, or natural, or inevitable. youtu.be/ZfBkw0j-QIs?...

one reason democrats should cut the “we just want to work together” shit is that you lose the opportunity to do things like, for instance, hold a loud press conference on the fact that trumps ICE thugs arrested a veteran www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

Nintendo Switch 2 officially revealed. Nintendo Direct - Nintendo Switch 2 scheduled for April 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=itpc... NS2 Experience tour dates for the public: North America: New York, April 4-6, 2025 Los Angeles, April 11-13, 2025 Dallas, April 25-27, 2025 Toronto, April 25-27, 2025

People have gotten so into Nate Silver James Carville bullshit about politics that every argument now has to be about what will win elections instead of what you actually believe and when you end up at that point you don’t really have any values at all

Facebook and Twitter are owned by right-wing broligarchs, the Washington Post and LA Times have spiked editorials so as not to upset Trump, ABC paid a $15 million bribe to Trump, and the hosts of “Morning Joe” went to Mar-a-Lago to lick Trump’s boots. Here’s why we have a liberal media problem.

Ep. 11.10- Red Justice Red Freedom posted for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

The Tulsa Race Massacre was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens, the Justice Department said in a report. It was the first time the U.S. government has given an official account of the 1921 massacre of Black residents.

Fanta was created so coke could sell soda in nazi Germany around a trade embargo. IBM sold the machines that were used to track and tabulate holocaust victims. Henry Ford inspired Hitler. Big business has always collaborated with fascism. Today's businesses are bastards who are no different.

fascinated by a rhetorical strategy i see all the time now, which is making up an extreme edge case to argue against doing anything for the public good, and doing this from the putative left.

A trans woman on tiktok posted about getting her gender marker changed on her Florida drivers license. Florida investigated her over it, canceled her license, and then leaked the story to libs of tiktok to announce it publicly to humiliate her.

We gotta reject “Well, RFK jr. is right about some things” and accept “if we don’t confront the real problems with our systems, it becomes much easier for con artists like this guy to manipulate people.”

People need to realize that the truth no longer matters to these people, only what feels right to them. The New Orleans attacker was Muslim so he's coded as foreign even though he was US citizen born in Texas and served in the military for 10 years. What's worse, is that this is effective.

Good Morning, Orlando! Here's my schedule for the weekend at Holiday Matsuri! I'll try to be at my regular table for autographs every chance I get when I don't have something else. See you soon, HolMat!

This is CNN’s main page. WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?

MSNBC is reporting that the backpack that the Midtown shooter ditched in Central Park was full of Monopoly money
