The Democrat who just flipped a very Trumpy seat in Pennsylvania’s Senate made opposition to Elon Musk front and center in his campaign. (lancasteronline.com/news/politic...)

Save the Children says more than 270 Palestinian children have been killed in the week since Israel resumed its war on Gaza, marking some of “the deadliest days for children since the war began”. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/2q97hr

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

Many lawyers dedicate their careers to defending the Constitution They've been subject to attacks from men like Trump for years-and still refuse to capitulate Most earn far less than the typical partner at Paul Weiss It's a pity these Big Law partners lack the same courage of their convictions

Everyone’s like “this can’t be fascism it’s too dumb” but they don’t understand that fascism is in fact almost always very dumb! Fascist dictators are cruel and stupid men. And it’s popular because many people are cruel and stupid!

Month-old baby girl pulled from rubble in Gaza after air strike kills parents

preaching to the choir here but people should understand that the end goal of the right-wing anti-trans push is the total subjugation of women and enforcement of dogmatic gender conformity onto every American

you couldn't more loudly advertise that you don't understand the current moment if you tried

they want to do mass arrests of american citizens like we haven’t seen in nearly 100 years

“We don’t know what’s happened to these four dozen New Mexicans. They’ve effectively disappeared. They’re gone.”

A judge blocked the deportation of a Brown university professor. She was deported anyway, via: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

If Schumer votes for cloture and there’s not a leadership challenge the Dems are genuinely cooked. They’re never going to raise another dime from people who understand that this is an emergency.

19-20 months from now, Trump will have pushed the economy off a cliff and left the civil service a smouldering husk. If you're a Democratic elected and you think a government shutdown from a CR fight is gonna be the thing voters remember, you need your fucking head examined.

I’m sick to death of people saying we’re “descending” into fascism. The fascism is ALREADY here. THIS IS WHAT IF FEELS LIKE. And if you’re not feeling it, it’s probably because you’re one of the “good Germans.” @michaelharriot.bsky.social explains

These Senators are on the fence about voting NO on the CR: Elissa Slotkin (MI) Gary Peters (MI) Jacky Rosen (NV) Jeanne Shaheen (NH) Maggie Hassan (NH) Jon Ossoff (GA) John Hickenlooper (CO) Michael Bennett (CO) Mark Kelly (AZ) Peter Welch (VT) Mark Warner (VA) Time Kaine (VA) Call (202) 224-3121

Never trusted Gavin and I was right to. There are so many marginalized people he could be platforming at this moment, but he chooses fascists.

While this is warranted, the only people the ICC tries are Black and Brown people. White perpetrators of genocide continue to frolic.

19 Democrats voted to confirm Brooke Rollins, the agriculture secretary responsible for stealing food from the mouths of hungry Americans.

Now's the time - delete the student loans!

some helpful reminders: -not all jews support israel -criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic -being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas -arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment -violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

USDA has eliminated two food safety advisory committees for microbiological contamination and meat inspection. Most recently, they had been reviewing regulatory approaches in response to the fatal Listeria outbreak from Boar’s Head meats and fatal Cronobacter contamination in powdered infant formula

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps block the path

🤢 Ro Khanna smears Al Green “on “FOX News Sunday”: “[H]e shouldn't have disrupted to the extent he did. He was asked to leave.” @rokhanna.bsky.social once again showing himself to be a grifty 🗑️ Democrat.

i am once again saying that if you allow polling to define rights, you don't have any real rights at all

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks

House just voted 224-198 to censure Rep. Al Green for interrupting Trump's speech, with the following 10 Democrats voting for his censure: Ami Bera Ed Case Jim Costa Laura Gillen Jim Himes Chrissy Houlahan Marcy Kaptur Jared Moskowitz Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Tom Suozzi

WWIII will be both a cold and hot war. It will be fought via proxy wars in resource rich areas like the Middle East, the DRC, and parts of South America. Revitalizing imperialism will be a main goal.

Read for filth with this

Seems like the relevance of this Reagan-era Herblock cartoon has risen by 200%. Washington Post, 12/22/1988.

i think everyone needs to stop framing whats going on as “bending the knee” and what’s really happening which is “they’re finally feel free to do what they’ve always wanted to do”

“Typically as you move further from tragedy, it grows further from the mind, but I’m encouraged people still care and people continue to come out and show support...Ahmaud’s life still means something to people.” www.ajc.com/news/atlanta...

We’re partnering w/ a number of groups participating in an #economicblackout THIS Friday, 2/28. Do not spend, if possible. No Starbucks on your way to work. No drinks w/ the coworkers after work. No dining out. No Walmart run. No quick McDonald’s drive-thru hit. Hurt their wallets!

This is the "resistance party"

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

“U.S. Food and Drug Administration employees reviewing Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink were fired over the weekend as part of a broader purge of the federal workforce”

I worked on this story for a decade and he just said it out loud on Fox News
