So I know a lot of people get kind of perturbed when those of us on the academic and research side point out that the Republicans and the techno fascist goal is to purposely crash the market so their friends in venture capital can pick the bones of American government. But… Trump just posted this

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.

the jen taylor halo 2 outtakes are so good i couldnt /not/ animate them!!

The apprentice is now the master.

For nearly two decades Ohio University’s Lancaster campus hosted an annual conference to recognize the past, present and future achievements of Ohio women. Under threats from the Trump administration it was put on hold, so the event was held independently

For some reason, I’m reminded of Disneyland’s New Orleans Square, where building fronts are affixed with medallions denoting various fire insurance companies. Bc, back in the day in NOLA, if your bldg caught on fire & your medallion wasn’t posted, the fire brigade wouldn’t put your fire out.

Can’t stop thinking about this woman at the City Commission Meeting about the Mayor trying to shut down O Cinema yesterday. We truly need more people to be this nakedly contemptuous of our public officials wasting our time and money.

patterned after the truth and reconciliation movement in South Africa

[THREAD] This #WomensHistoryMonth, let's not forget how many of our rights were only won in recent decades, and weren’t given by asking nicely and waiting. We need to fight for our rights. Here's are a few examples:

Wow. Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC. “I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!” Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out. We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

NEW from me - Tim Walz is headed back out on the road – this time, for a tour of House districts represented by Republicans who have stopped holding in-person town halls amid the raucous receptions some of their colleagues have gotten across the country. www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/p...

The Blazers did something pretty awesome tonight for the national anthem - 23 years ago the young 13 year old, now Natalie Zito, struggled with the anthem and Mo Cheeks helped her finish it out. Tonight they brought her back out with Cheeks in the house with the Knicks and she absolutely killed it.

A Rip City redemption like no other 🥹❤️🎶

I can think of two for sure…

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

This was the entire point of the exercise. Musk's willing to let the source of his wealth crash and burn in order to avoid prosecution. That's it. That's all. There's no grand plan here beyond that. He's too stupid for that.

What!!!!

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w... I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

Why? Because Maine’s governor Janet Mills told him to his face she would obey federal and state law, not his bullying edict, and he snapped at her like he did at Zelenskyy and she said see you in court. So, being a thin-skinned hateful savage, he’s now collectively punishing/antagonizing Mainers.

In which the President & CEO of the US African Development Foundation tells 28-year-old DOGE staffer Nate Cavanaugh to piss off

I want the t-shirts, the posters, the sepia prints, the velvet portrait, the trapper keepers, the lunch boxes, the I-phone covers. Rep @algreen.house.gov is an American patriot.

This is Poppy. Her pink silk sleeping mask fell off right before bedtime. Fortunately she only threw a very reasonably sized tantrum about the ordeal. 13/10

Some "Russian Warship" vibes here from a tiny fed'l agency. via Brett Murphy: The African Development Foundation (budget ~$40 million) is putting up a fight and denying DOGE + Pete Marocco — the State Dept official dismantling USAID — access to their building:

I tweeted about this guy last night and got all these replies from random people who said he'd saved their baby's life. Fuck being rich I would love to have been this guy, imagine how cool it would be to know you'd helped so many people. We need to name an airport after him or something

COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal: “Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine." @latenightercom.bsky.social

BREAKING: Trump's comment during his address that DOGE "is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight" has already landed in federal court. DOC buff.ly/K7puA1o
