I wrote about the White House X account — which is steeped in the sociopathic posting style of far-right extremists — and seems to get more sinister and cruel with its posts each week of the administration. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

My thesis on Trump’s Greenland and Canada talk is that he’s deadly serious. The two key factors are 1. personal - Trump’s bullying, narcissistic psychology and 2. ideological - the nature of fascism demands constant expansion and dominance www.arcdigital.media/p/hes-not-jo...

BREAKING: Judge Amy Berman Jackson has *blocked* the dismantling of CFPB. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

📣 📣 📣 I'm auctioning off an annotated hardcover copy of BUT HOW ARE YOU, REALLY in support of Tzedek Chicago, a spiritual home for Jewish people who believe in a free Palestine. Place your bids here: givebutter.com/c/tzedek/auc...

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

Yep

Not gonna pretend like I know anything about Carney’s politics because I don’t, but I watched his speech yesterday and he essentially told Trump to fuck off and now Trump’s speaking about him with a modicum of respect. I feel like there’s a lesson in there somewhere.

We’re not just “mad” at Chuck Schumer—we’re terrified. Terrified that he’s about to hand over our Social Security, healthcare, disaster funding, and cancer research money to Republicans without putting up a real fight. Just like @schumer.senate.gov did with the GOP CR—and got nothing in return. 1/2

Ngl it's hard to overstate how much contemporary evangelicalism has broken the brains of American conservatives, an ideology that allows you be ontologically righteous with no actual demands on you so long as you are a considered "a good Christian"

Just fyi: It is a violation under the Fourth Geneva Convention to pose with prisoners. Not that anyone in this administration gives a fuck about rules...

The fact that half of the U.S. has an appetite for such grotesque behavior, where a Vice President is displaying smug machismo- holding an assault weapon in a post calling bullets “freedom seeds” is a damning reflection of U.S. moral decay. It’s a repulsive glorification of an instrument of death

🔥 Speech by NM Rep Melanie Stansbury about how absurd it was for the DOGE subcommittee to hold meetings on walk-in cooler & refrigerant efficiency standards instead of the security breach by Hegseth & others.

Overdraft fees are illogical and hurt poor people. What do you mean you OWE money because you have NO money?! The only ones winning here are the banks. This is anti-working class.

March 27, 2025: The author of Project 2025, standing on the White House grounds, celebrates implementing a key pillar of Project 2025. The same plan they all denied was their plan.

You don't really need to lie to criticize Tesla. "The Cybertruck is a glued together, crappy vehicle that might lock you inside while it's on fire." See. Didn't need to lie

I felt compelled to ask my parents about their lives under the Brazilian dictatorship after seeing the Academy Award-nominated "I’m Still Here." Here's what they told me and my thoughts on why this movie is more than an exercise in remembering some of the darkest chapters in the country’s history:

1/ “It’s what happened to us, only on steroids.” I spoke with a former World War II internee and descendants about the dangers of invoking the Alien Enemies Act:

Do NOT drop this story. Keep hitting it hard. They could have killed our pilots.

today's DOGE IS FOUR LETTERS hits a cross-section of a huge group of users on bluesky — people who are space geeks, and people who are software engineers. i hope you enjoy this really thoughtful conversation i had with a software engineer at NASA.

I wrote for MSNBC about the grotesque irony of Trump stripping due process from innocent people while he himself gleefully exploits it to evade criminal accountability. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Sports fans will be talking about how Alabama set an NCAA tournament record for 3-pointers attempted and made. Few know that the 3-point shot was pioneered by Harlem Globetrotters founder Abe Saperstein. My brother and I recently published a biography of Saperstein, a colorful sports visionary.

The leaders of all of the federal parties in Canada accidentally added me to their group chat

We are all a lot more powerful than Donald Trump wants us to be.

Timeline cleanse 💕

The extreme right wing terrorist cult criticizes Democrats for being empathetic and caring about others and considers empathy a weakness. Let me tell you something… I was brought up on good solid Midwestern values, ethics, morals and I will take these qualities to my grave.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Breaking per @punchbowlnews.bsky.social: Republicans have pullled Elise Stefanik’s nomination. They want her to stay in Congress. THEY’RE AFRAID WE’RE GOING TO WIN IN FLORIDA Y’ALL. Let’s do it. 🤩

"This is some of the finest journalism I've read in the Trump era so far," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @motherjones.com's reporting on the Trump admin deporting people to El Salvador, and in one case, over an autism awareness tattoo.

Putin is clinging to power as rumors swirl that he’s dying. Zelensky says he will die soon. He made the blunt prediction during a speech in Paris, standing alongside Emmanuel Macron as he urged the West to “stay strong” and not ease pressure on Russia. www.the-sun.com/news/1388155...

It is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world. Mary Oliver

YouGov poll: 74% Americans — including 60% of Republicans — say the Trump admin's use of the Signal chat to discuss military strikes is a serious problem.

But we can't give food or water to people waiting in line to vote?
