This has to stop. This is awful.

What the fuck.

Somebody should probably do the math on this, because I think the cost to reopen Alcatraz might be higher than what DOGE ā€œsavedā€ tax payers…

Hey guys- White nationalists have helped a white woman in Minnesota raise $300k after she was filmed calling a five-year-old Black child the n-word. The local NAACP chapter is fundraising for the boy and his family to get legal help. The least we could do is out-fundraise the nazis. Donate here:

This is such a sad loss. She was an amazing person and artist.

This is heartbreaking, I’m so disgusted by seeing so much cruelty.

One of these babies was receiving treatment for a rare form of cancer. Monsters.

In follow up to the news that federal funding has been cut to support unaccompanied migrant kids with legal representation - call your local reps/governors, but also, give this group some money if you can @supportkind.org. Nearly 70% of their funding is from federal dollars. They need support.

This is horrifying. @governor.ny.gov where is your response to replace the funding cut by Trump for kids going to court without attorneys? These children need advocates.

Republicans believe that the federal government shouldn’t be involved in education policy, to the point that they dismantled the Department of Education…but here they are trying to set educational national educational policy. Or, is this bill moot because they’re cutting all the funding anyway?

Things continue to spiral further and further out of control.

It’s absolutely wild to me that the party behind a billionaire who handed out oversized checks to people who voted the way he wanted them to, has a whole conspiracy about protestors on the left being funded by George Soros. As always, the call is coming from inside the house, friends.

We need to keep sharing these stories. We need to get them back. This is horrifying.

I don’t know how these people sleep at night. This is not over. It’s temporary and narrow - people need to keep pushing.

I never want to hear anyone say ā€œbut Republicans are better on the economyā€ ever again. #orangemonday

Where is our humanity?

Buffalo showed up today for the Hands Off protest, felt good to be there.

They literally announced a tariff while Myanmar is still searching for bodies. The US pledged a small amount of aid, which hasn’t been delivered because of cuts to USAID. We’ve sent no teams to help; there’s no longer infrastructure to send support. This is what Trump’s cuts look like.

I can’t. I really, really can’t. He put HIS FACE on the gold card. Everything is too stupid and too gross.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

How well thought out were these tariffs, you might be asking yourself. Well, good news. Seriously, though. I’m not an economist, but it seems like sky high random tariffs can’t be the only bullet point of the bring jobs back to the US plan. Seems like more governing is required.

I’m so relieved that her wife and baby are okay. It didn’t have to be this way, they could have spared them a lot of fear and suffering. Also, Charlee Doom is really a very cool name.

This is terrifying. I’m scared for their lives, and I’m worried about what this continuing means for our country. Where are we on this, elected officials? We’re way past just condemnation. What can you do to stop this? @reptimkennedy.bsky.social @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov

And we’re back to our previously scheduled, horrible news.

This is a win. We get to celebrate it. It feels extra good because Elon wasn’t able to buy this seat. He spent $25 million and still failed, and not even upwardly this time :) I hope the headlines hurt his feelings.

Thank you, @booker.senate.gov! We need all elected Democrats to take back the narrative and do whatever they can to resist this administration, and to really follow up with policy.

Cat meets marble maze.

This is just going to keep getting worse and worse.

If you were wondering who ran the detention center where they are sending all of the students/academics they keep disappearing…they’re so predictable.

I talk a lot about how cruel, selfish, and stupid they are. But I just want to take a moment to remember that they’re also INCREDIBLY uncool. I believe they call this cringe. Yikes.
