I regret* to inform you that @propublica.org has updated our DOGE tracker again with a bunch more names: projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do... *delight

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

fantasizing about a world where an opposition congress responds to trump’s attempts to usurp legislative power by defunding the entire white house staff

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s response: “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. The MTA has initiated legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York to preserve this critical program. We’ll see you in court.”

I’ve said this so many times, people assume people are rich because they are so much smarter than the rest of us and this will be the downfall of us all.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Wow there’s new video of the Delta flight landing and rolling over at Toronto’s Pearson Airport yesterday….incredible all survived 🙏

If there's not a single white person on stage, it's racism. But if there is a single black person on stage, it's woke. The only way to be neither racist nor woke is to only have white people on teevee at all times bsky.app/profile/geor...

Anti-DOGE rally getting underway now outside the U.S. Department of Labor, where DOGE was reportedly scheduled to have a meeting today. Big turnout from AFGE, one of the federal unions in Trump’s crosshairs.

“I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about” - Beyoncé after winning Best Country Album for “Cowboy Carter”

Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

Another way of saying this is that a lot of supposed liberals and leftists bought into the propaganda that opposition to affirmative action and diversity were about merit. So, now that those subtle racist lies have reached the obviously racist endgame, they are left flatfooted because they helped.

Remember: Trump fired TSA heads and gutted Aviation Safety Advisory prior to deadly plane crash www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Firing of Coast Guard commandant serves a regressive social agenda virginiamercury.com/2025/01/30/f...

Target: where everything is on sale for 3/5ths off

Some necessary reading.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

I really urge people not just to read the reporting on the executive orders, but to read the executive orders themselves.

it's like AOC is the only person who is expressing an actual emotion here

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

1) i would challenge you to produce evidence of anyone of influence who believes that simply identifying trump as a fascist will deliver victory on its own 2) some of us just think that our job here is to help people understand the world they live in

Something joyous: our community taking care of its own, as it has for decades. The Lower East Side Girls Club (I've been lucky to be on the board for years), where a woman who was one of our first generation of girls is now teaching our latest generation of members: www.today.com/video/scarle...

fox news is calling her the "woke bishop" and that sounds... cool?

when you are not allowed to criticize fascism, that's a good indication you are living in a fascist state.

If Elon Musk were in Germany today, could he stand in a public space and do the "Roman salute?"

lol big tech is all like, “we didn’t like democrats criticizing us, we much prefer abjectly humiliating ourselves by publicly kissing the ass of MAGA idiots who make us jump through hoops and dance for them while saying our families are no longer citizens”

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

This, by Toby Buckle (@polphilpod.bsky.social) is motherfucking excellent. I've been saying it forever. The Right, these "lost boys" are not organically reacting to anything we're doing, but to crazy shit made up by those even more fucked up than they are. www.liberalcurrents.com/swiping-left...

Today I learned that the black eyed peas call their fans *peabodies* and verklempt I am www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...?

What a frustrating, sad story— with a big slice of the blame going to Askew's two incompetent lawyers: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/u...

UnitedHealth found to have overcharged some cancer patients for drugs by over 1,000%

I have been wondering why US leftists and liberals alike are so terrible at long term strategy lately. Then I remembered that we’re in this predicament because neither camp listens to Black people or respects our history in this country beyond lip service. Abolition & civil rights took *centuries.*

no bigger ideological bubble right now than the silicon valley/media nexus

In Mississippi, police agencies set their own rules about Taser use. These vague and outdated policies allow officers to shock virtually anyone — including a great-grandmother — for any behavior they see as threatening

The Supreme Court will hear a challenge to a provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires insurers to cover the cost of preventative health treatments such as cancer screenings. Understand what's at stake: voxdotcom.visitlink.me/1xCuGx

Senator: I’ll speak in his defense because to err is human. Who among us hasn’t shown up drunk to work? Who here hasn’t cheated on their wife? Hegseth: Please stop helping me Senator: Who hasn’t taken off their pants at the zoo?

There are lots of reasons that Hesgeth is disqualified for the role of Secretary of Defense, but his habit of calling soldiers "warfighters" like he's playing with action figures or something should be enough.

RIP Bozo lol

Now allowed on Facebook, Instagram and threads: "Immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit." "Gays are freaks." "Look at that tranny (beneath photo of 17 year old girl)." In his announcement, Zuckerberg described this as "mainstream political discourse."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Earth records its hottest year ever in 2024 and passes major climate threshold.
