I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

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

Circling back on this…

Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in Berkeley for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. Fuze claimed they were paid protesters and he went there to show his support for Musk and DOGE.

Pete Hegseth accidentally texted a journalist at The Atlantic the U.S.' plans to bomb Yemen: "The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing." JFC.

This is really proof that if you show people what is good, they will come around

Honestly, put the hood back on this one.

Today, I stood with @lettercarriers.bsky.social Branch 283 and other postal unions to fight against USPS privatization. The USPS is vital to our communities—delivering medications, mail, and more, no matter where you live. We must protect it! #FightLikeHell #HellNo

Oh, honey . . . just because you have to pay women to find you sexually attractive doesn't mean *anyone* has to pay people to find you politically repulsive.

Reminder that if you're doing business with the Paul Weiss law firm, you're endorsing extortion by a would-be dictator, and you could be the next victim.

👇🏽”That’s not efficiency, it’s cruelty and chaos” @ossoff.bsky.social is really good at this

1/ This one graf in the Paul, Weiss CEO's latest excuse for capitulation to Trump is the problem of systemic and moral collapse in every institution in the last decade of Trump.

They're replacing an abandoned store with 100% affordable housing! "Homes at the apartment complex are expected to be affordable for residents who make 80% of the average median income — which in Santa Clara County is $181,300 for a family of four or $126,900 for individuals" This reaction: 💀

How Not To Dad

What a psycho

15,000 people protested fascism and racism in Amsterdam yesterday.

The law firm, founded and chaired by Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias, said in a statement Saturday that there would be "no negotiation" with the White House about the clients it represents or the lawsuits it brings on their behalf. www.aol.com/no-negotiati...

Just arrived in DC. Should have all this effing politics bs sorted out by Monday

This is an example of how nostalgia for the old days is simply nostalgia for when you were younger. The idea that America was a post-racial society in the 1970s/1980s only makes sense if you were literally a child at that time and couldn’t observe what any adult was experiencing.

So, now the Trump administration is just amplifying Putin’s talking points. Ukraine is NOT a “false country.”

This is what we’ve come to, and so quickly.

Hey, Politico -- I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone. Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down. Defiantly, Marc Elias

Elbows up, Canada!

Horrific

Good for her. Sorry you drew the short straw for dads.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Boycott any company that sponsors. Let make sure it’s just Balance of nature, my pillow and relief factor and whatever else Foxnews one

“George Conway, a conservative lawyer and frequent critic of Mr. Trump, posted on social media, ‘This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first.’”

More of this.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has asked Boeing to design a new military jet and he’s naming it after himself. The contract is worth more than $20 billion. This comes a time when his commerce secretary talks about social security being on the chopping block. 🤡

A law firm stands up to Trump. “The leaders of Keker, Van Nest & Peters called Trump’s memorandum ‘inexcusable’ and ‘despicable.’ ‘Our liberties depend on lawyers’ willingness to represent unpopular people and causes, including in matters adverse to the government.’ www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/u...

Fuck Stephen Miller and Tom Homan to hell. Goddamn bastards, both of them.

Idiots

Thanks to David Gordon for sharing this.

Unf***ingbelievable. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/21/u...

“Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

I’ve now watched this clip like 10 times and it’s instant first ballot hall of fame. One of the most comically out of touch things I’ve ever heard heard from a public official.

Absolutely love @petebuttigieg.bsky.social ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

Elon had black servants so he cannot be racist. Glad we put that one to bed. www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-ra...
