It's wild how many people have told me over the past few days "Criminals don't get due process" Wtf? Due process is how you figure out whether or not someone is a criminal And even then too many innocent people get locked up, and too many nonviolent offenders

idk if i have another Day In Turmoil in me

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

401 not o(k)

Corey Booker, a moment ago, after 22+ hours on his feet, compellingly : ‘Who are we, if you don’t think this is a moral moment where the character of our country is being tested?’

"I can't make it through RFK Jr.'s explanation for cutting 10,000 HHS jobs without screaming" same same same. From @robynelyse.bsky.social on @wonkettemedia.bsky.social

i love rapid unscheduled disassembly

Estimated number of people who could die within a year without American foreign aid for: H.I.V. prevention and treatment: 1,650,000 Vaccines: 500,000 Food aid: 550,000 Malaria prevention: 290,000 Tuberculosis prevention: 310,000

i think if you still defend dem leadership after this you should be studied in a lab to figure out what’s wrong with you. unfortunately that lab has also been defunded

Only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove Chuck Schumer from leadership and replace him with someone willing to fight

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

Yes, my economic plan will cause short term pain. But after that you won't feel the pain anymore because you'll be dead

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

In 43 days: - 25% tariffs on our allies - 30k+ federal workers fired - slashing healthcare for 72M - aiding our enemies - coup by Musk - inflation up - advertising real estate through ethnic cleansing - concentration camps - went golfing 12 times That's his #StateOfTheUnion

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

Every day I have to hear about some asshole

Republicans want one thing and it’s fucking disgusting (tax cuts for the rich funded by healthcare cuts for the poor)

Dear DOGE: In response to the request for my 5 things I did, I: 1) Learned how to make videos on AI 2) Created a creepy video of Trump and Musk 3) Uploaded the video to TV screens at HUD 4) Gave the day off to our A/V staff 5) Hit 'play' button on Monday morning Yours truly, Loyal HUD worker

lol look it’s the patriarchy

Elon Musk has now illegally fired: - USDA employees amidst a bird flu outbreak - FAA chair amid a plane crash epidemic - People in charge of protecting us from nuclear attack At this point Musk has to be considered a terrorist attacking the United States.

There's a Crisis of Masculinity in this country and the only way to solve it is to let me act like a cross between a baby and a movie villain

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

Now they want to rename Greenland to be “Red, White and Blue Land” and yes this is the dumbest timeline.

I bet doom scroll meant something way cooler in the middle ages.

it’s very fun to watch rightwingers make up insane bullshit and laugh at them for “believing” it but it’s a very intentional strategy to flood the online ecosystem with their narratives. they don’t believe all the shit they say but it serves their ends if everyone is talking about them all the time

Ah yes, RGB - Ruth Gator Binsburg

Trump has given Elon Musk access to our government's highly-sensitive central payment system—and he's vowing to use it to cut off funding people are counting on. What will Musk target next? Cancer research? Food banks? Housing assistance? Veterans' benefits? This is not ok.

lit. me

We could’ve had Tim 😭

U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan has extended the pause on Trump's freeze of federal loans and grants. Before issuing the order, the judge said a funding freeze would be "catastrophic" to organizations "designed to further the public interest."

Okay if I didn’t want to pay taxes before I really don’t want to now knowing that Elon Musk has access 🥴 I don’t know what’s going to make me spiral first. The coup itself, or the lack of reaction by elected officials. Congress? Homeland Security? Aliens? ANYONE???

I don't know what is wilder about this story, that Musk and his DOGE gang were able to force their access classified information, or that they are shutting down a major way that the US provides humanitarian aid as a way to save money rather than raise taxes on the rich or cut defense spending.

Elon Musk is NOT an elected official. DOGE is NOT a congressionally approved department in our government. We must call this what it is: A far-right oligarch trying to seize control of our government.

More than 600 staffers so far have been told to stay out of USAID headquarters as instructed by Musk who says Trump agreed with him on this decision. Musk’s DOGE agency has now also gained access to Medicare and Social Security payment info. Which he should not have. Trump is letting him run free.

First they came for USAID, and I did not speak out— because I don’t benefit directly from foreign aid.

Ask your Christian friends why they voted for the anti-Christ. Tell them they voted for the anti-Christ. Remind them that they voted for the anti-Christ.

There has never been a better time to open a crappy amusement park where the rides kill people

GET READY: The White House just said Trump will implement 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada and a 10% tariff on China beginning SATURDAY.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

An actual depiction of today’s press conference regarding American Airlines flight 5342

This is how a dictator acts.   Sending 30K migrants to Guantanamo—a place w/ repeated human rights violations—is an attempt to evade our legal system & act in the shadows hundreds of miles away.   REMINDER—the U.S. affords weaker due process/legal rights for people detained there.

one thing going forward, after these 9 days: stop expelling your energy trying to educate or argue with Trump supporters. they’re the most brainwashed demographic and the most susceptible to propaganda. it’s their responsibility to unlearn their hate and they should feel isolated.

My federal government colleagues are getting emails telling them to reply “resign” if they don’t agree with the new impositions from the administration. These people are fucking insane.

How many times a day do you think about how pristine and magical the world would be if women were in charge of everything?

people are losing their right to exist but at least groceries are more expensive
