Everybody is so touched by this anglerfish coming to see the light and I’m over here like “actually you are deeply misunderstanding the sensorium of deep sea creatures and that girl was blinded way before she got to the surface.”

Ok also AOC and Elon Musk are not in a “tit-for-tat feud.” AOC is a duly elected member of Congress who operates under an oath to our constitution and Elon Musk is an unelected Nazi billionaire whose wealth makes him think he’s above the law and empowered to illegally torch our government.

Trying to imagine Trump in this “suit.”

The state of the union is going to be a disaster. I hope the democrats make some sort stand. Enough playing "safe"! Clearly Republicans aren't going to stick to norms or decorum

After years of falsely claiming that MMR vaccines cause autism, RFK Jr. has published a new op-ed on Fox’s website encouraging people to get the vaccine amid a measles outbreak that has already resulted in the death of a school-aged child.

This is also why I’m not a fan of the FAFO line of post-election shitposting. How many people actually thought they were voting to, like, ban trees in cities and to pull the US out of the World Health Organization? Maybe they were naive. They were also lied to by a lot of powerful people.

Hail to the thief. Using the money they stole from us by illegally cancelling government programs to pump cryptocurrency

Leaders of the free world stand united in London The United States is not among them

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Civil rights attorneys sued the Trump administration Saturday to prevent it from transferring 10 migrants detained in the U.S. to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, their second legal challenge in less than a month over plans for holding up to 30,000 immigrants there for deportation.

I’m confused by all the headline references to a “shouting match.” I saw one side shouting and the other side getting shouted over when he tried to talk.

Thanks to everyone who participated nationwide!

What happened to Little Marco?

Our boy’s getting worried…

I'm so glad that Zelensky maintained his dignity & left the white house. The American people stand with you, President Zelensky 💙💛

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

worth saying again that this was a bait and switch. if trump had openly announced he was running on allowing companies to discriminate against women and minorities he would not have won wapo.st/43aVQg1

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin. It's shameful and dangerous. I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.

The move, which is in line with an executive order from President Trump to slash the federal workforce, raises concerns about staffing at the agency that delivers crucial benefits to Americans.

Trump's 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 to our ally in the Oval Office is a DAMN SHAME.  Denigrating a democratic world leader while sitting next to him has not only jeopardized our work with global allies. Once again, Trump's ego just put our national security at risk.

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

Turns out Zelenskyy is good at standing up against dictators.

When five former and bi-partisan Secretaries of Defense ring the alarm bells, we better stand up and listen. To my colleagues across the aisle—these are matters of life and death and national security. Please listen ⬇️

President Trump is threatening to put more tariffs on China. But the U.S. rival is in a better position to ride out American economic retaliation, says former U.S. Ambassador to China Winston Lord.

WHY would we trust a known dictator?? Is Ukraine just supposed to just give up,  give in, and GIVE AWAY its resources? Peace shouldn’t have a price tag. www.npr.org/2025/02/27/n...

who told this pampered asshole he has the right to speak to anyone like this?

Trump: You've allowed to be in a very bad position...You're not in a good position. You don't have the cards right now. You're gambling with World War three. Vance: Have you said thank you once? Zelenskyy: A lot of times. Vance: Offer some words of appreciation for the US and [Trump]...

The Trump administration touted the release of files in the case of Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender, on Thursday. But the documents contained no new revelations.

Words cannot put into perspective just how insanely angry this makes me feel. [redacted]

Trump and Vance would NEVER, EVER, talk to Putin like that. And everyone knows it.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

This is honestly inspiring. Be like George Dale.

This article is more relevant than ever after the Trump Epstein Files release scam

Congrats, everyone—the Elon boycott is working! Reports indicate that Tesla inventory is swelling, especially with Cybertrucks piling up outside their factory. Keep the boycott going, and don’t forget—today is the Economic Blackout!

So Trumpers, three options: He's senile. He's a liar. Or both.

Is it just me or has the last 24 hours of U.S news been particularly ominous, even by the standards of the last 3 weeks? Feels like the wheels are coming off the bus even faster than I’d assumed.

1. Today, the Iowa Legislature shamefully stripped transgender people from the State Civil Rights Act. It becomes the first state to ever strip any group from a civil rights act. There were powerful speeches, and huge protets. The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

"It is no exaggeration to say this will kill people—mainly people who are elderly, disabled and/or poor. Society’s most vulnerable sit in the crosshairs of our nation’s wealthiest people who have absolutely everything, but somehow always want more."

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

A federal judge in San Francisco issued a temporary restraining order on the Trump administration's firings of thousands of probationary employees, calling the actions illegal.

Musk is actively undermining air safety, potentially causing crashes, then awarding himself a $2.4 billion contract to fix what he is breaking? This is not conflict of interest, this is criminal insanity! Amount of money Musk is stealing from US is bigger than all his “savings” combined.

This doesn’t exist and will literally save $0

The House GOP just passed a draconian budget resolution, but despite GOP misinformation, this is just a blueprint, not a final bill. That means there’s still time to push back against proposed Medicaid cuts and tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what you need to know. 👇

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.
