The FOTUS goes golfing w/the Saudis while the markets collapse has some real Nero vibes, doesn't it?

When law-enforcement officials start publicly calling for counter actions against those seeking to limit the damage done by a fascist government, you are careening towards open violence that will be protected and backed by the state.

Holy shit. “I confess that I’ve been inadequate. That the Democrats have been responsible for allowing the rise of this demagogue.” Gives an impassioned apology and points to this as a moment of personal vow to action.

When a tenant moves out, their landlord is on the hook for routine wear and tear. Shifting those costs to tenants is not only unfair – it is illegal. We're asking the state's highest court to protect renters. hoodline.com/2025/03/mass...

BREAKING: An appeals court just REJECTED Trump's request to overturn the court order that says he is BLOCKED from using the ancient Alien Enemies Act to deport people with zero due process… This is a win for immigrants' rights, and our country. Pass. It. On. 😎✨

guess the character limit truncated the last sentence where he goes "unless they want to play sports, then i'm gonna have to invite hitler jr onto my podcast to condemn them"

Dear media, It’s not: “President Trump Discusses Possible Third Term.” It’s: “Kleptocratic Wannabe Dictator Says He Can Serve ‘Third Term’ In Blatant Disregard Of The Constitution He ‘Swore’ An Oath To Defend.” You’re welcome.

We need to STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING. Period

Cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated a deal to stop Iran's nuclear program. Trump, having inherited a vastly improved situation with Iran, deliberately tore it up. The fact that they are now on the verge of having nuclear weapons is entirely his fault.

As we begin the week, my law firm is litigating 46 voting and election cases in 20 states. I expect additional litigation to be filed this week.

Posted by @bricktopnafo.mainbastards.online: “In 2022 undocumented immigrants paid $96,000,000,000 Billion USD in taxes in the United States. Just saying.”

It is so gross and telling that the Trump Administration’s attitude to sovereign autonomy is “lie back and take it.”

Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

We need more Jon Ossoffs in the Democratic Party. This is just fantastic.

US attorney who targeted child predators unexpectedly found dead. A terrible loss, and extremely worrying if her work as a prosecutor is connected to her death.

Oh, services for children with autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergences and learning differences will devolve to 'the Wakefield was right all along' guy. Splendid. (*reaches for drink*)

The Voting Rights Act was already kneecapped by Shelby v Holder, which is why nearly 5 million voters were improperly purged from voter rolls in Oct 2024. The GOP only wins when some of us can't vote. Any further degradation of the VRA will end any hope of democracy in the US going forward.

The hope here is that what they're attempting is so radical and so unpopular that it spectacularly backfires. The other possibility is that it succeeds. The Administration is fighting a war against civil society on all fronts. We must not let it succeed.

Just a reminder that when the Trump people refer to "Marxism" they mean it the way jeering segregationists protesting the integration of schools meant it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

A new analysis reveals that Trump’s tax plan will “actively transfer money from low-income people to the top 0.1% of income earners.” 🔗: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

@goldyha.bsky.social re: today's Pitchfork Economics episode, right wing propaganda and disinformation campaigns deserve a substantial chunk of the credit for turning vulnerable people into self-destructive radicals. Turn off the firehose of lies and people will probably come around.
