Trump is so anti-trans he's turning the trans-Atlantic alliance into a cis-Atlantic alliance.

"Hooters was obtained by a private equity firm in 2019. The $300 million it owes are unpaid bonds, which are backed by the restaurant's owned assets — branding rights, franchise fees, property, etc." Like clockwork... www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

when/if Democrats regain power they can win a permanent majority by becoming tough on crime: scams, fraud, corporate malfeasance, etc.

“It was always clear that Trump's democracy-dismantling project would be coming for [California’s] high-speed rail… But with Elon Musk on board, the mission has become supercharged.” Good history here of Musk’s opposition to rail, via @awalkerinla.bsky.social www.torched.la/trump-derail...

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

This is such awful advice. This is the President of the United States we’re talking about, not some anonymous 4chan troll. Every Dem should be waving this in front of a camera and saying “look at this stupid un-American piece of shit, he is repulsive”

it's absolutely wild to shitpost about yourself being a king of a country whose entire foundational story of itself is centered on overthrowing the last person who deigned to call himself king on these shores

"Openness to a form" is the most "all deliberate speed" construction I've heard in the 21st century. If you torture the English language enough it'll confess to anything

Today, LA Metro celebrates the 3 year anniversary of the decision to “take additional time” on its congestion pricing project. Originally scheduled for 2020 implementation, and then for 2025, Metro continues to take additional time on the study. thesourcearchives.metro.net/2022/02/18/m...

Can you people even imagine what would have happened if Biden brought to an interview a foreign-born almost-trillionaire who was widely acknowledged as co-president? I started laughing and then I started crying.

Why would we abandon the prosperous, democratic nations of Europe, our allies for one hundred years, to "partner" with weak, poor Russia, a longtime adversary and dictatorship currently in the middle of an unprovoked invasion of a neighboring state? Treason. It's treason

Five employees at the JFK Library in Boston were laid off today in connection with a Trump administration overhaul of federal workers. "Without them, we are unable to stay open," a source tells @gbhnews.bsky.social. "It has been chaotic and we are seeking clarity."

I think the most effective thing the Democrats can do rn is force the GOP to come up with the votes on their own to avoid a government shutdown on March 14. If Republicans want to act like there's no Constitution anymore and the President is a king, then figure out how to keep the lights on.

Its bizarre that Democrats with the more diverse consultants and strategists got completely blown out of every immigrant news source. Its as if Dem consultants from minority groups are all overly online college grads whose ethnic social bubbles arent majority reflective if their group as a whole.

I can’t say I’ve thought about inflation that much since the US Attorney in the district you and I both live in had to resign because the President wanted to make a corrupt deal with the Mayor, backed by the threat of a dangling DOJ prosecution, to terrorize immigrants and people of color here.

This isn't the best photo, but In 2019 I got to hang out for a bit with both Donald Shoup and Richard Willson at the same time. RIP to both of these parking reform legends.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

For a US audience, Hegseth is doing muscle porn, for an international audience he is the first SecDef to ever saw the US is too weak to face Russia. What a disaster.

Stock prices are still near records but “sell in May and go away” may have more resonance this year, if we can make it that far. Unlike last week’s drop no announcements like tariffs will trigger it, it will just be sudden and feed on itself and no words can take it out of the tailspin.

It would be great for everyone at once to realize what a paper tiger Trump is with all these illegal EOs. If the FBI and the army is resisting him, why should anyone think he can push us all around? Fuck his pencil pushers, throw punches at him. He’s burying his own grave on the economy anyway.

The top two stories on Axios right now make kind of a funny juxtaposition. One is about how Johnson can’t avoid a shutdown without Democratic votes. Two is about how mad Dem reps are at their constituents for telling them to do something, when they’re in the minority and obviously can’t do anything.

This is the most bizarre service change I've seen. Like why is the Girard Ave trolley, which provides local stop service, making only five stops on Friday? Two entire regional rail lines and a subway (the Broad-Ridge spur) are not running at all!
