I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Eight people in South Sudan, including five children, died on a three-hour walk to seek medical treatment for cholera after US aid cuts forced local health services to close, the UK-based charity Save the Children said reut.rs/3E9kB27

I didn't know groceries was an old fashioned word. Most Americans say it at least once a week. A true old fashioned word is accountability but I'm old enough to remember that one.

Plot twist: Eliminate capital gains tax by eliminating all gains.

For some reason I can’t quite put my finger on, I think if Obama had crashed the economy on purpose in seven weeks they would have taken him out back

Haha! Love this letter from Douglas Adams to his US editor about not Americanising the text of Hitchhiker's Guide. 🐋🌸

Five things this week: - Spent $25 million to buy an election - Lost election by double digits - Tweeted about rockets a lot to pretend I hadn’t just spent $25 million on an election I lost by double digits - Inspired protests against me in all 50 states - Cheated at videogames

Where is our humanity?

I missed this when it first happened. His five year old was in the car when he was arrested!? apnews.com/article/el-s...

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

Amazing work today, everyone! Today’s protest was a success—two MAGA individuals were arrested for assaulting peaceful protestors, and three additional investigations are currently underway. We’ve also launched a new task force to investigate any incidents.

100,000+ people marched at the #HandsOff rally in New York!

Was proud to be part of the #HandsOff protest in St Pete today while on vaca with my parents! SO many people across 17 intersections!

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

Namaste 🙏

Three critically ill patients in US could have survived with abortions, study shows www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Omg!!!! OWWWW!! The stupid, it HURTS!!

“Beautiful thing to watch.”

🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

the Dunkin’ logo has never felt more accurate

Another piece of science showing that grass-fed or "regenerative" beef is not a climate solution. In fact, grass-fed beef emit *more* carbon than feedlot beef. The best solution? Less beef. A lot less. www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2025/03/rese...

We need to make compassion great again

🤣😂🤣 This is an amazing and hilarious breakdown of the process used in Signal to add people to a group chat. (I believe credit due to @amandagailey.bsky.social)

So the scandal is, 'they lied.' The scandal really should be 'they faced no consequences for lying yesterday.' Without any consequences the lies will just get more brazen. It is - quite literally - how we got to today's lies.

Democrats Huddle To Decide How Best To Let Massive Republican Fuck-Up Slip Through Fingers

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

AOC: We need to be taxing the rich on the floor of the Congress We need to be establishing guaranteed healthcare on the floor of the Congress We need to be passing a living wage on the floor of the Congress

the people who told you to calm down about Roe are the same people telling you to calm down about Social Security, in case you hadn't noticed

The guy whose daddy bought his way into Wharton, the guy whose grades were so shitty he's never disclosed them – that guy just destroyed the Department of Education. This is what dystopia looks like. This is what Fascism looks like.

Of course, people are dying without PEPFAR & USAID assistance. Quick stats: 🔹️HIV: An est. 1,650,000 people may die within a year; 🔹️Polio: expect an est. 200,000 cases of paralytic polio ea. year; 🔹️Vaccines: An est. 500,000 will die w/in a year from this loss; 1/3 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The word got out and he knew people were going to show up to voice their disapproval and didn’t want to face them.

Huge march in New York today protesting the illegal DOGE cuts

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

Happening now at Trump Tower, activists w/ @jvp.bsky.social calling for release of Mahmoud Khalil @thecity.nyc

Donald Trump campaigned on the fact that he believed Kamala Harris would cause a recession. In reality, the only candidate who would have caused a recession is Donald Trump, and the American people are feeling it today.

They could have just voted for Harris and given the money to charity and taken the tax deduction 🤷‍♀️

Overheard: The Tesla Chainsaw Massacre.

I have a friend who needs a stem cell transplant pretty urgently. The donor has to be of Asian descent and under 40 living in the U.S. I am praying that we can find the right match. If that's you or someone you know, please reach out to me. Thanks in advance.
