the ongoing new lavender scare has been hard for me to grapple with. if you are transgender do not get caught doing anything illegal and do not say anything anywhere that the state would want to prosecute you over. genuinely, be careful and prepare however you can

This doesn’t exist and will literally save $0

This is all I can think when libs smugly say "hope you get what you voted for!!"

People are laughing it up on the Leopards Ate Our Faces page. “Haha, both your face and my face are eaten by leopards” they gloat

If there's a plan, it's this: The rich believe we're doomed, and they honestly see no point in providing vaccines and medicines anymore because we're all going to die anyway, so they're just going to plunder the government for their own last hurrah. www.the-sentinel-intelligence.com/p/the-super-...

It is really hard to watch people willfully tear down an infrastructure that allowed us to double lifespans, drastically reduce poverty, and become one of the richest countries in the world.

my superpower for predicting things? paying attention to what people with power say and do

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky

Had a conversation with a non political person whose buddy works for the forest service and was 10 months into his job supplying hard to reach parts of a national forest and was fired. The guy talking to me was like “I don’t really think my buddy’s $50,000 salary is gonna balance the budget.”

I heart Tina Smith.

This is not how I ever want it to play out, but it does reinforce my theory that the best way to make a fairly significant number of Americans turn to normalcy is to have them actually experience what they are asking for, this nation has way too many people way too deep in main character syndrome

They’re cutting Medicaid

Courage and honor come in many forms.

We released our new Mother Machine trailer today & it would mean the world if y'all shared the latest tiktok we posted pls ❤️🙏😔 vm.tiktok.com/ZNdJAykjP/

Reminds me of the border wall; by the end of Trump1.0 everyone hated it, but the Dems were committed to keep it going because of "bipartisanship" and similar crock. Even if the offense collapse nothing is going to be fixed. Nobody in power cares.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

RIP to one of the bona fide greats

When you get a new main menu after completing the story >>>>

Look, all I’m saying is some main menu screens hit different.

Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

Governance is not the same as business ownership. It never should be. To conflate the two is to put on a collar and hand the leash to fascists.

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Judiciary employees and likely federal judges all got the "what did you do last week" email.

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Is Musk's obsession with the letter X just a "crypto swastika" thing. "What's the closest letter to a hate symbol? I know!!?" ass thought process

Here's another rare story/topic that you don't often get to read about if you live in the West. "The Pentagon ran a secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during a pandemic." #ICYMI www.reuters.com/investigates...

You see where this is going ….

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

okay, it’s time for me to finally weigh in: it’s probably a bad sign that guys are just doing sieg heils in public again

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

It's legit really weird that Trump and Elon keep doing interviews together. It reinforces the theory that Musk hacked the election to guarantee a Trump win.

Things always go well once democratically elected presidents start calling themselves Kings, right? And when they start saying that whatever they do is legal? Definitely a good thing and not outright horrifying.

DHS has removed manual guidance barring investigations solely based on sexual orientation and gender identity. This is a prerequisite to targeting the LGBTQ community with criminal investigations solely based on being LGBTQ. news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go...

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Math is hard
