"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh

It felt like it was time for one of those

Lily Yohanes is good at those kind of seemingly simple but actually difficult medium-range passes that Americans (women and men) are just straight up not good at

seeing this chart set in he’s doing sex selective IVF for boys and that’s why he lost his fucking mind and became a hardline fascist when vivian came out as trans, he’s a freak

NEW: Trump cabinet officials have embraced Jack Posobiec, the far-right conspiracy theory-peddler (Pizzagate!) who co-wrote a book last year demonizing liberals as "unhumans" & praising fascist dictators—Spain's Franco & Chile's Pinochet—as role models for MAGA. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

There's no way

Tom Homan asks “where is that line,” as if it is mysterious or unknowable. It’s not. Tom’s saying it that way because he’s too much of a coward just to say “she should be arrested for telling people their rights.” Also, to be fair, he may be too dim to understand the line.

Better perimeter for the bird flu. What

Nursing a take that the major Silicon Valley firms can be understood as organized crime syndicates and perform some of the same functions as the old ones used to — money laundering, feeding addictions, skirting regulations, political influence.

I knew she was good at tennis but this is just remarkable court coverage to be there at Stonewall on the front lines while she was a 12 year old living in Czechoslovakia without a passport at the time

People who voted Trump who are feeling pissed off right now about broken promises are an organizing opportunity, not a gloating opportunity

"Do I need to call Elon?” one DOGE member barked at a federal security official while demanding access to sensitive information at one agency this month, a source familiar with the exchange tells Rolling Stone." Come on, man, you’re being bullied by twerps.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

How does Judge Ho not call Emil Bove into court tomorrow morning for a contempt hearing? This seems like a credible accusation of a corrupt bribe in a pending case, which Bove allegedly accepted (and then destroyed evidence).

The national park service is literally making their sites unreadable by simply deleting the word trans everywhere on the site. MarshabP Johnson's page appears to be down as well.

Hasn't even been a month yet

BREAKING: A federal court temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order aiming to restrict access to gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under age 19 nationwide. This is a major victory for our freedom to access life-saving care.

he's so dumb

WSJ sub: “Indian Partition went smoothly enough, right? Will try to remember to check this before publishing.”

Seattle's tech wealthy waged a frenzied war against it. Seattle's quisling city council moved the ballot to February to suppress turnout. Nonetheless, the voters of Seattle have overwhelmingly approved a measure funding a social housing agency by taxing the rich. www.cascadepbs.org/politics/202...

Look at the little dancing house 🥺

We won!!!!!!!

Hey a good thing happened

Trump and his drug-addled ultra-billionaire Daddy are rampaging lawlessly. Rank and file Democrats are furious about the feckless response and failing strategies from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @chuckschumer.com. So Dem leaders do the only thing they know how: punch down and left.

Seattle Reign is heading to the Coachella Valley Invitational this week. The preseason tournament won't feature the full roster, as up to 7 players are representing their countries during this FIFA window. www.sounderatheart.com/2025/02/reig...

UHC murders people and now they want to bankrupt anyone that correctly calls it out

This might be the first one to make it to SCOTUS

Fun fact: several groundbreaking cancer drugs of the past 5 years that have saved thousands of lives are generated by horseshoe-crab reproductive organs

I got mad at the New York Times after their editorial board released an opinion piece condemning Trump's anti-trans EOs and I decided to write about how the paper of record laundered transphobia into the mainstream and paved the road for Trump's transphobia. www.patreon.com/posts/nyt-ed...

This is crazy

For decades, the right has been obsessed with apartheid South Africa as a way to mourn the end of formal segregation in the US. With neo-segregationists now in power, it’s no wonder they’re opening the doors to white South Africans, using racist conspiracy theories to justify their actions.

i am 100% certain that they are weekend at bernie-ing trump and just handing him papers to sign, the content of which is determined by whoever happens to want something to happen

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

NEW: An internal email obtained by WIRED from a threat intelligence team monitoring US Treasury systems advised labeling DOGE operatives an "insider threat," adding that it recommended suspending their access "immediately." | www.wired.com/story/treasu...

Every one of these guys thinks they’re Oppenheimer mixed with Andrew Carnegie and they own something called SplortDotCom that got bought by Boozoo
