Stand with trans Americans. You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous. www.thebulwark.com/p/stand-with...

Wrote up something about Techdirt's recent coverage, and why (whether we like it or not) we need to be a "democracy blog" now, rather than just a "tech" blog (not that we've ever been just a tech blog). This story is the story and it impacts everything else. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

What about Fareed Zakharia saying on Maher that NYS has high taxes & he gets nothing. In a conversation about USA's poor education. Facts. NYS has one of the best school systems. Lower tax rate states w worse education also take $ from higher tax rate states. www.consumeraffairs.com/movers/best-...

Their next move to cover up their failures, from Republicans in Congress and the Trump Admin, is to try and change the way that things are measured. Watch.

Did you know (I learned today) that USAID buys thousands of tons of American crops, paying our farmers billions of dollars? What happens to those crops and what about the lost income? #standwithUSAID

Democrats need to have an aggressive and coordinated media strategy involving all of their members, surfacing derogatory information about Republicans, enumerating the problems they’ve failed to address, and filling the news hole with fresh complaints. https://newrepublic.com/post/190337/trump-se…

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

@schumer.senate.gov @repespaillat.bsky.social @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social Why aren't you all over the news talking about how these EOs are going to harm children, veterans, teachers, etc. Never mind that some are blatantly unconstitutional. #dosomething

Not to be alarmist, but this is the most radical presidential action I've ever seen. He's straight up seizing Congress' budget power. What do laws matter if the mad king's whims dictate what gets enforced and where money goes? It's not a policy memo - it's a revolution. Don't let it be a quiet one.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

Bullshit. The @UN is wrong. Dead wrong. And the UN should be ignored on all things Israel, because this right here is just a further reminder of how antisemitic and anti-Israel the utterly worthless UN is.👇

Kroger now admits it jacked up milk and egg prices above inflation. Millions of shoppers had no choice but to accept it. This is what happens when five companies dominate over 60% of American grocery sales. Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.
