As long as I live, I will never understand why they would rather elect a singularly worthless white rapist as president than an exceptionally impressive black woman.

The first marches let people know they are not alone. The next marches show how many people are ready. The final marches make those in power listen.

We have to be honest as we assess why so many Americans made this tragic choice. If we refuse to confront the underlying truth — that racism and greed occupy the throne in this country — it is the equivalent of sticking your head in the sand and believing that you’re safe.

pretty funny to be brought up your whole life being told how important checks and balances and political norms are only for those norms to be 100% effective at preventing universal healthcare and 0% effective at preventing a guy going 1945 Japanese conscript pilot mode on the economy

The idea that the federal government can go before a judge and say, “Yeah we arrested the wrong guy, but too bad, so sad” is not alarming nearly enough people yet.

"Nixon looks like a fucking saint compared to this." @michaelmechanic.bsky.social was in Princeton, NJ, today to speak with #HandsOff attendees there. From kids hoping their education will survive to Social Security recipients worried about their ability to even exist, this is what they had to say.

I keep remembering how the first thing an abuser does is cut you off from friends and family. This feels like the global political version of that on an unimaginable scale.

I don't understand how any member of Congress can look at today and still believe they'd get some terrible backlash and lack of support from introducing an impeachment resolution, or even saying the word. Stop worrying about the nattering pundits who speak for nobody but themselves. Just do it.

📌So for the fuck of it, I tuned into Fox and Newmax the past hour to get their take on this financial suicide today, and neither of them had their market tickers on. I swear to God, you'd think everybody struck gold today. NONE of this would have happened to America without this hideous propaganda.

I was a rural kid. A poor kid. I went from poverty to a graduate degree thanks to public schools, teachers, and Pell Grants. We need public schools. We need to fund higher education. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

i have learned that way too many americans see the concept of 'freedom' simply as the potential to be rich and privileged, even if they aren't, & not things like freedom from dying from a preventable illness if you're poor, or being imprisoned for minor crimes, or persecuted by the police, etc

The biggest takeaway is that these tariffs punish us all for Donald Trump's pleasure. There is no other benefit. It just turns us all into beggars who must bow to a king who doesn't care if we live or die.

You do not have to reveal your immigration status to ICE. You have the right to remain silent. You have a right to request a list of free or low cost legal services. But it's best to have a lawyer's contact info written down and ready in advance. ICE cannot enter your home w/o a JUDICIAL warrant.
