One day, you voted for the last time, and you didn't even know it.

This is a great episode.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Zelenskyy has shown the world what democracy means. Donald Trump is a convicted felon and a sexual pervert. These two men shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence.

Today’s Oaxaca, Mexico wall art. The world understands.

Very basic question: DOGE is made up a few dozen people most of whom aren't drawing salaries. What could $40 million be going toward? Could it be data storage outside government servers? talkingpointsmemo.com/news/doge-co...

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

This is why every Democratic governor should’ve walked out en masse. You don’t let people take beatings alone and you do things to grab headlines.

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

Pudding Fingers went there.

Agreed to unanimous consent 4 times to advance Patels nomination and missed multiple votes this week 👇👇👇👇

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is booed by protesters as he announces Trump is cutting off funding for high-speed rail between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Instead of dealing with all the planes crashing everywhere, the former “Real World” star is abandoning investments in US infrastructure.

look i'm no mayor pete stan but i have a biological, fundamental need to see him humiliate sean duffy

Mitch McConnell announced his retirement after 40 years of working hard to make Kentucky one of the poorest, most under-educated, and unhealthy states in the US.

#Trump #USA #Ukraine #Russia #Putin #GulfOfMexico here's an excellent compromise 🤣

this history is drilled in so hard for those of us who grew up a state that fought the Revolutionary War lol it's really not a game!

Randy Borman, the man who became Cofán. Randy Borman was never meant to be Cofán. And yet, from the moment he was born in 1955, deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon, he belonged to them. www.butlernature.com/2025/02/19/r...

They screwed this all up.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

this fucking faux-serious, take him literally but not seriously, what’s the harm in discussing it, just asking questions shit over the last three decades isn’t the only reason musk is about to destroy social security and trump wants to seize gaza, but it is very definitely a large part of the story

Again, Trump fired SBA Inspector General Mike Ware after he found $200 billion in fraud in Trump's COVID programs and returned $40B to the US Treasury. Instead, Trump brought in a bunch of fascist boys who know nothing about accounting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Iran in 1979. And then the religious zealots came to blame women for their erections. This can happen anywhere.

The Trump administration is going to criminally target political opponents and it's gonna be an A23 story

Historian here. In general, you don't get major changes to the names of geographical features after elections. You get them after conquest by hostile powers.

Sheryl Crow: “My parents always said you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla. Money donated to NPR, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes the truth will…find its way to those willing to know [it].”

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
