Pay attention, America.

Elon getting ratioed on his own platform 👌

For Trump it was a joke by Obama.

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again). "The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties. #BTW25 #GermanElection

DID YOU KNOW: We had fewer federal workers in 2024 than we had in 1970?

The attack on higher education, and especially against my field of sociology, is an attack on truth, on Dems, on free speech, on justice, and on the economy.

A message from the brave woman - Dr, Teresa Borrenpohl - who was dragged out by unmarked private security in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

it’s almost as if the sector-wide crisis is telling us that profit is a terrible measure of success when it comes to higher education

The plot thickens. #idpol

The destruction is the point.

Trump refers to the leader of our ally as “Governor Justin Trudeau” but refers to the leader of our adversary as “President Vladimir Putin.”

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them. Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

President Zelenskyy has more courage, principle and honor in his right pinky than Trump has displayed in his whole, vile lifetime.

Trump’s new acting CFPB director in charge of reigning in predatory financial institutions is literally promoting a predatory payday lender. Because something something working class champions.

Libs, in victory: see we didn't need the left, fuck them, they get nothing, they ARE nothing Libs, in defeat: we needed the left and they betrayed us, time to call the cops on anne frank

The more you know…

They are not “Trump’s lawyers.” They are US Attorneys and their oath is to the Constitution. Including freedom of the press.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

Three things that make the U.S. the envy of the world: 1) Professionalized military with strong norm of civilian control 2) Higher education and cutting-edge scientific research 3) Ability to welcome immigrants and attract the “best and the brightest” All three are under threat.

Attention birdwatchers! - When you see a rare bird that’s far off its course just know you are looking at the dumbest individual from that species

People keep bemoaning the lack of leaders in the liberal democratic world - and I echo them. But we overlook Zelenskyy, who is as admirable a symbol of courage, resolve, clarity and righteousness as you will find.

Whose going to defend this one? Is Steve Bannon throwing his heart to the crowd?! I find that hard to believe in this moment, since Bannon sacrificed whatever heart he had on the Alter of Cruelty years ago!

Trump benefits from the bully pulpit of the presidency, a legislative branch that has contracted out all of its autonomy, and Elon’s unlimited funding—but if he loses popular support, none of those things will matter. And we’re already seeing the tide turn. McCormick’s district (below) is R+22.

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Starting to think the right’s mEmE KiNg WhO LeGaLiZeD CoMedY is actually just a whiny little bitch with a fragile ego.

He nails it.

Liberals: Why don’t people understand these critical issues and keep voting in ways that directly negatively impacts them? NYTimes: paywall WSJ: paywall WaPo: paywall Business Insider: paywall The Guardian: paywall Fox News: open Newsmax: open OAN: open Liberals: It’s such a mystery.

Pete Hegseth wants $49,000 for emergency painting a condo. Not very DOGE, if you ask me.

The judiciary is saving us…

What a fumble.

Trump's first weeks in office have been chaotic to say the least, and that's by design. So last week, Todd Beeton took a closer look at a few of Trump's most egregious illegal and unconstitutional acts for The Big Picture.

saw another skeet full of replies from white liberals saying we should leave people in red states to die millions of Black, brown, and poor people live in red states and either don’t want to leave or can’t leave. disrespectfully, fuck all of you who leave people to drown. gross.

I am actually begging people to realize that people who are unable to find employment or are disabled, deserve nice things. It is not outrageous for a poor person with no income to crowdfund pizza, or nuggets, or a laptop, or down payment on a house or something. Like just let people have nice stuff

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are now ordering the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop protecting consumers from unfair fees, fraud, and scams. They have cut off funding to the agency.

Amazing film! I fully approve!

Of all people to complain about a performance…

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.
