Guide to the Trump Tax Plan: Your taxes will INCREASE unless you make at least $360,000 or more per year. Adding tarriffs and spiking unemployment, the upcoming Recession will be quite devastating. Resist how you can- the longer this goes on, the worse everything will get.

This winter was just so long, particularly that 3 months' stretch last week.

“Trump take egg” is a great rhetorical bat to swing but “Trump supporters created price gouging cartels” is probably more accurate

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

We'll be sure to NOT answer the door. You don't need hell, fuckstain, you need a WARRANT.

A lot of my favorite musicians and bands are now on Bluesky, but I will not be following them. The last thing I need is for one of my bangers winding up an award winning lyric. No thank you sir!

White Lotus is cross-branding with Tanqueray and Ketel? Fun. I remember when Mad Men got me chain smoking heaters.

Mr. Hegseth has previously said that General Brown should be fired because of his “woke” focus on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the military. Replaces a Black four-star fighter pilot with a white man who does not meet the statutory qualifications supposedly over DEI.

Wow, so are we going to see the first gangland slaying *in space* by a criminal enterprise in real time? If Musk can find a suitable reason to let these people die, I think he absolutely will.

Apropos of nothing, Bannon, like Bolton, is not afforded secret service protection.

Now, officially "Raisin" Caine. And the withering ridicule begins...now.

And again, remind me: this is about bloated government? CTFO.

hey! me & @lollardfish.bsky.social wrote this piece for @slate.bsky.social about what's hot in 2025, because it's the Middle Ages! we see a retreat to the medieval as a (tacit) act of resistance against techbro authoritarianism. find out why... please read and share #medievalsky

Experts say the conflicts posed by Tom Krause’s dual roles are unprecedented in the modern era.

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.

Corporations need consumers. Not the other way around.

I was feeling a way and made a t-shirt about it. You can get it (or stickers, or whatever) here, if you have similar feelings: www.teepublic.com/user/libertine (there’s also an edition with white text for printing on dark shirts)

"As we navigate the sheer quantity of hate and unconstitutional extremism found within these orders, it’s essential we not let this blitzkrieg distract or deter us." - Keith Thirion

Two kinds of people in this world...

"The insults to common sense, basic morality and good government come hourly. Some are disastrous – like anti-science RFK Jr for health and human services secretary – and some are relatively small, like the furor over the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Love love love this woman.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

My network here is growing broadly and quickly finding brave, smart voices that reject the Trump Criminal Conglomerate, but don't worry, I'll never stop engaging with lame dad humor, horrible puns or self-effacing observations. Those, after all, are my love language.

bird flu is festering in dairy cattle, and unlike with chickens, there is no federal program to contain it. instead of creating one Trump is gutting the USDA and CDC, specifically its disease control programs www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/o...

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

Badass alert ⤵️⤵️⤵️

I'm gobsmacked at reading the first authentically positive developments re: ai. But here we are.

Republicans have made crystal clear they’re planning to cut Medicaid and SNAP to fund their next round of tax cuts for billionaires. But we’re fighting back 👇👇👇

Jesus, is CPAC doing a residency or something? That shit seems like it's never-ending.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
