BIG: DC Metro Police decided they had sufficient evidence to arrest sitting GOP Congressman and sent warrant request to USATTY's office. Acting USATTY Martin, who's been explicitly acting as Trump's personal attorney, ignored it. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/big-b...

The two genders

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.

I’ve seen so many #resist libs claim that the stock market is down under trump. And every time I check, it’s a lie. Stocks are up. Why are we lying about easily debunked shit like this? You’re just throwing away credibility for no reason.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Would you like that baby syndrome shaken or stirred?

More needless (and potentially illegal) cruelty

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

If you’re active on bluesky and feel hopeless, please try to join a local organization. DSA, sunrise, whatever your community has. Just join something and get active. Let’s start small and rebuild this thing

Expansion of the death penalty in the US is rife with moral and economic problems. Among the less obvious problems is where will government get drugs for lethal injection? Major manufacturers in the US and abroad have banned the use of their products in executions.

Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order directing the expansion of federal use of the death penalty and encouraging states to do the same. The death penalty is unjust and cruel.

The consolidation of news media into the oligopoly we know today may be the republic’s death knell. The press is lowkey the fourth branch of government. It was captured by billionaires decades ago and has been manufacturing consent with less and less efficacy ever since.

Something extraordinarily surreal about watching a thing happen, everyone talking about how the thing happened, there's undeniable video of the thing happening, the people who like the thing are cheering about how much they liked it, and every major media outlet refuses to plainly say it happened.

I guess this isn’t surprising, after all white supremacists similarly orbited the first Trump admin. But this really feels like a new low for the nation. Unambiguous Nazis are at the helm and there aren’t many signs of resistance from the media, judiciary, bureaucracy, academia, etc

Insane that this is the extent of most Americans’ political beliefs - slurs good, woke bad

Something very deep in my psyche thinks it should be a crime to male anyone work the day after a big blizzard. The snow day gods have mandated we all get a day off work and it is an act of sheer folly to defy them.

Shoutout to Jimmy Carter for getting me a day of work for the national day of mourning. I’m gonna start a new caves of qud play through in his honor

These drones are getting out of hand. How am I supposed to sleep with this thing hovering over my home

So in addition to providing billions more dollars to the Israeli military that is carrying out mass slaughter in Gaza, the Pentagon will now be forced to deny that this mass slaughter is even taking place.

Interstellar in IMAX is devastating. Pure cinema.

Ah of course. Once again it was those damned violent video games!
