Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

San Diego people, this is a thing I'm hearing about if you're interested, tomorrow at 4:30pm at El Cajon Valley High School - Grossmont Union board meeting followed by anticipated purge of teachers and librarians

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

NEW — House Republicans are putting the brakes on town halls after blowback over the Trump administration's cuts. One GOP aide said House Republican leaders are urging lawmakers to stop engaging in them altogether. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Jordan Peterson is another example of what I call a competency cosplayer. Informed people immediately identity him as an intellectual fraud, but uninformed people can fancy him an intellectual who flatters their unexamined prejudices.

I have to say im still a bit shocked at the level of this regulatory capture and from such a try hard poser. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/25/b...

Good story here. slate.com/news-and-pol...

spending 7-8 hours a day out in nature doing physical activity continues to be the best method I've found for capping my anxiety at a rolling simmer and I'm just not sure this is going to be sustainable

Shocking the extent to which a lot of the GOP is committed to killing their own voters

seen in newark, new jersey 🔥

This is a full campaign to purge all LGBTQ employees from the federal government. This is a second lavender scare.

NEW: The Louisiana governor for office clearly signaling he wanted to crack down on New Orleans. Now he keeps finding excuses to deploy state police in the city, citing temporary reasons that local critics warn are becoming permanent. Delaney Nolan reports for Bolts: boltsmag.org/louisiana-go...

the creepiest thing

SHAME

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

Throw the 'T' into the sea.

Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

The Secretary of Defense goes on tv to explain he is preparing to have the military break the law.

Federal employees are now being told they will be fired if they do not reply to a guy who does not respond to the Moms of his kids.

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

they are telling us they are intentionally burning the economy to the ground, never seen anything like it

DOJ sending letters threatening investigation and prosecution to politicians who are criticizing Musk: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

This x10000000000 “In other words: We, the opposition, are the majority. Take heart.” www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

And to think just four days ago, after lecturing the Europeans on free speech, JD Vance was in my Twitter replies lecturing me about free speech too. Oh the shamelessness! This is who they are:

This is why I keep talking about the last ten years as a metastasizing misinformation crisis. Why on EARTH would you think Trump would do anything thoughtfully or strategically? If the media is giving people this impression, it is lying to them

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

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.

Report: You Live In An Embarrassing Country

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

Ex NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social protesting the inclusion of a MAGA acronym in the Huntington Beach library plaque at last night’s council meeting. He was arrested and cited.

We set up a concentration camp for asylum seekers in the Panama jungle. We set up a concentration camp for asylum seekers in the Panama jungle. We set up a concentration camp for asylum seekers in the Panama jungle.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

It's a global far right power grab using disinformation to leverage the ills of climate change into consolidating resources!

The threat of a small number of children was so incredible that Americans decided to discard all democratic governance and humanity

Obviously this right-wing dismantling of the US institutional apparatus is about something much darker and more nefarious than a difference of opinion on the size and footprint of the federal government. For instance, whatever you think of it, USAID serves as soft power mechanism to protect the US.

man this is legit no different than a 4chan /pol/ post. like truly no difference, down to the ASMR gag. from the white house account.

I grew up in punk so I am legitimately shocked that so many people in charge of shit are such absolute weenies. A bunch of computer nerds and 80s movie villains say that something should be some way and you roll over and do it? Tell them to get fucked and keep doing your good work.

hey friends, your public libraries are embattled places, and librarians (like me) are concerned. here's an overview of a pair of terrifying bills in Iowa #Libraries #Librarians #Censorship
