There are a few places in this country that serve as testing grounds for conservative tactics, places where you can see the future before it arrives elsewhere. Coeur D'Alene, Idaho is one of those places -- I've written about it before This video should scare the absolute shit out of everyone

I'm sorry but I'm just not going to be cowering in fear of these clowns. They suck and they are cruel but they are not God.

March Goal: 50/$500 I'm disabled & queer, living in extreme poverty. I'm in URGENT need of food, hygiene, medication, clothing, etc. Disability benefits aren't enough to ensure survival or comfort. Donate: ko-fi.com/qpthepurples... Wish List: www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/... šŸ’•šŸ’ø #HelpSky

Apparently Trump has directed the SecState to review all treaties that the US is party to and make recommendations for withdrawal.

The connection of domestic violence and authoritarian governments is my Roman Empire. Absurd that I didn't find this book while I was running for office and had "making our society unfriendly to abusers will make it unfriendly to tyrants" as part of my stump speech.

Canadians on here actually being like "I can't believe how bad things are getting in the US" without acknowledging Alberta just passed some of the harshest anti-LGBTQ+ laws and are about to vote Doug Ford back into power. Wakeup because the far right are in inside the building

Republicans want to kill your grandparents. They want to cut Medicaid by nearly a trillion bucks so billionaires keep more money in their accounts. Medicaid pays for nursing home care.

Putting a face to what you read in the news. Until last Friday, I served our nation working as a Research Ecologist with the US Geological Survey (USGS). As a federal scientist, I provided robust, defensible information to support good decisions in natural resource management.

This is really great, you should watch and share it

Punchbowl News reporting that Trump and Hegseth plan to start firing top generals, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, who was overwhelmingly Senate-approved for a 4-year term back in 2023. No one can say they werenā€™t warned.

Whistleblower letter sent to the Senate and the DHS Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and Immigration Detention Ombudsman Tuesday urges investigating likely fraud and abusive conditions at Torrance County Detention Facility, violating its contract with ICE news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

The guy who used to run social media for the NRA is now creating the same violent rhetoric for the White House.

People literally died from Covid while claiming it doesnā€™t exist. There is never going to be a wake up call for some people. A lot of people. Itā€™s not about convincing them if they canā€™t be convinced. IMO itā€™s about overwhelming them entirely with opposition.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

By the way, people should understand that the admin doesn't have to shoot or gas people to kill them. If you pile people in military-run camps in Gitmo and the Panamanian jungle without adequate food or healthcare and just wait, people will die

I missed this earlier today: one of Michiganā€™s two Republican justices announced her retirement today. Gretchen Whitmer will appoint her replacement. That will likely bring Democratsā€™ majority on this key court to 6-1.

CNN Made FOIA Request About DOGEā€”Only to Learn FOIA Staff Was Fired "Definitely never seen this type of response to a FOIA request," quipped one journalist. www.commondreams.org/news/cnn-foi...

ā€œAfter weā€™ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once weā€™ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friendsā€¦ what comes next?ā€ - Gov. JB Pritzker

Trump on DOGE: Weā€™re going to go into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is still there. You know that? Weā€™re going to go into Fort Knox. You know about that? We hope everything is fine with Fort Knox. But weā€™re going to go to Fort Knox and make sure the gold is still there.

Call to Action: March 4 Liberty. Washington, DC and every state capitol, March 4th, 12PM - 9PM. Further announcements for the 5th to come later. Need max number of people in DC as Trump addresses congress. #3E #USprotests #March4Liberty #FiftyFiftyOne #Mar4

I donā€™t know how often we have to go over this, but when the president speaks, policy occurs. The president cannot troll. When he calls himself a king, itā€™s an emergency. Fucking act like it.

Does ANYONE read LAX v. Jews for Jesus anymore?

Feel like I'm sinking into quicksand all the time. Finally got a job offer (for mid-March) and still need things like gas and utilities to make it to that first paycheck, pls if u can cash.app/$jazh4691 www.venmo.com/u/JazH-46-91 #mutualaid #aidsky #helpsky #helpfolkslive2025 #MA #mutualaidtime

Thatā€™s how you write a headline, people.

Boosting!! Love this store!! Highly recommend checking out Abi's store!! It has wonderful creations that I have used in my day to day life as a Disabled person!!

Did You Know? The inventor of the bestselling Super Soaker was a Black manā€”and Hasbro tried to cheat him out of his royalties. In 2013, Lonnie Johnson, a nuclear engineer and former NASA scientist, won a $73 million settlement from Hasbro for underpaid royalties. Johnson holds over 80 patents.

Sado-fascism.

The most shocking thing about this is that anyone took him at his word.

My corruption has waited 14 months for social security. My corruption has a dominant side impact and tremor. Iā€™d work if I could. They donā€™t hire elementary teachers that canā€™t write and do recesses with kids. Iā€™ve never been corrupt. Thatā€™s a new one for me. Usually Iā€™m corrupt when I work. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

Border czar Tom Homan struggled to explain why New York City Mayor Eric Adams suddenly decided to comply with Donald Trumpā€™s immigration crackdown in his sanctuary city, if not to have the public corruption charges against him dismissed.

As prices soar, planes crash, and farmers, workers, and whole communities are attacked, MAGA influencers are desperate to change the narrative. "Philadelphia Fire Department...fire marshal...determined that the incident was an accidental vehicle fireā€”not an intentional act of protest."

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

Sure, since you asked so nicely! 1. McConnell and the Senate GOP kept Judd Gregg from joining Obamaā€™s Cabinet and blocked Tom Daschle ā€” a powerful senator! ā€” from being Obamaā€™s HHS pick.
