Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

No matter how preposterous, the Times headlines nearly every Trump story as if it were written by the White House comms team.

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout. Democrats voted yes. Republicans voted no. Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

Short update on the Toronto crash, how Musk's FAA budget cuts will lead to more crashes, and the ridiculous notion that SpaceX will "overhaul" the ATC system. Just more Dunning-Kreuger from another stupid billionaire. balloon-juice.com/2025/02/18/q...

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

I love how one of the conservative members of the council said that "there was nothing peaceful" about Kluwe's protest...which consisted of getting up on the stage and being arrested (without any resistance). These bravado spouting MAGAts are such weenies. Terrified of the merest harsh word.

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Bernie Sanders on the secret endgame of DOGE: “They want to make the case to the American people that the whole government stinks—Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid— all of these programs that help you. They're terrible, and the way forward is to privatize them.”

“I think there is a real organic hunger from people who want to see their government fighting back against corporate law breaking, and that's what we did at the FTC,” says Lina Khan.

Elon paying random right-wing e-girls he picked up on twitter to have his kids by IVF is evidence that there is in fact such a thing as western decadence.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

in 2009, foreclosure courts were operating so quickly you just showed up with paperwork and they foreclosed. it didn't matter if the bank held the mortgage, if the payments were late or not, if the evidence was false or not. bondi fired prosecutors investigating that prospect.org/justice/2024...

Just in case people don't know the context, this is a policy called splitting the letters, developed by fundamentalist Christians to use feminist and queer language and culture to split the T off and then turn the others against each other. You can watch their 2017 conference planning it.
