🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

Quite literally whitewashing the purpose of the Underground Railroad www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

Friends only let friends panic buy at Costco

BRAVA! Watch @repstansbury.bsky.social tell it like it is on the House floor. I’d like to hear Hakeem Jeffries—or anyone in Democratic leadership—speak with this kind of 🔥🔥🔥

Je suis jaloux.

Eid Mubarak to those celebrating tonight!

They should change the title to "Nothing's afoot at the Circle K" godotbroadway.com?fbclid=IwY2x...

To all those celebrating Eid al-Fitr in Maryland and beyond, may this year bring you peace and joy. Eid Mubarak!

Among other horrors, this Executive Order seems like a subtle way of saying the Trump administration may use the Smithsonian to bring biological racism back into vogue.

If you had shown me this picture in a Democratic campaign ad last fall, I would have rolled my eyes at the ridiculous overkill

Boy, when they promised governed "transparency," they weren't kidding! You can't get more transparent than sharing war plans with a reporter before you even attack...

So here's the thing about these small grants. They actually do a lot to make sure we're not competing with, you know, slave labor. And promoting gender equity in the workplace means helping women get into decent jobs so they can support their families and not feel the need to migrate here!

Txt STOP to opt out of updates on war plans

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

DOGE is going after the benefits paid to orphans and survivors now. Space Caligula’s KinderCoup squad has no understanding of how Social Security works.

every college, corporate, and nonprofit president right now

God damn it, I was right!

See you at 11:30am

I've noticed that using children as political props is popular with a certain type of politician.

Both domestic and international news outlets are not telling you about the American pushback. For example, did you hear about the 15k people who just came to the "Fight Oligarchy and Authoritarianism" rally with Bernie and AOC in Arizona? Unheard of outside of campaign seasons.

Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email: "Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.
