I think it's good we put the Hamburglar in charge of the McDonalds and I find nothing suspicious about the fact that his first act in office was disconnecting all the security cameras

All of these dumb fucks need to be primaried. They're literally trying to give Trump and his cronies a new tool to crush us just to spite big tech companies (who don't mind b/c it'll crush their competitors harder and they have Dear Leader paid up to save them is things go wrong).

democracy in michigan and wisconsin was crushed to the point of near-irreversibility until 2020 -- vastly worse than what trump seems likely to be able to do before 2028 -- and we fought back, inch by inch, until we took it back, despite Republicans having both structural advantages and real support

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Trump NLRB: -don’t do anything about non-compete clauses -allow all captive audience meetings -generally don’t do anything if you catch firms union busting -no college athlete unions

The United States ought to back Ukraine because it is the right thing to do, morally, and, above all, because it is in the hard U.S. interest to do so. To shake down a country that is struggling for its very existence is, to my sense, repulsive.

Hochul needs to stop being a coward and immediately remove Adams, a criminal who has made a corrupt bargain with a criminal administration to subvert the process that would otherwise hold him accountable.

So someone asked me to retell the story of the old lady that told me about killing her husband. Are we ready for a trip back in time to 1999? Some of you already know this story, but if you don't it is a wild ride. Apply all appropriate trigger warnings!

So far, there's a lot more evidence that fighting back can work than that it can't, whether it's through the courts, mobilizing public opinion, or even in some reported cases GOP politicians complaining.

Frat boys have taken over the treasury, and this is what lawmakers are doing. Another version of KOSA. Also, im very anti censorship already, but maybe, just maybe, we should all agree to put a pause on censorship bills while the current administration is doing what it's doing.

We're just going to leave this here…

The New Republic has kindly published what the LA Times and its RFK Jr-supporting billionaire owner Pat Soon-Shiong tried to suppress: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

I continue to add to this list. I also have removed training info that is now outdated.

The email we just got from the superintendent of the Seattle School District was pretty clear that they will not be following either the immigration or trans student EOs. Proud of you, SPS!

LAUSD doing some good. The Right will absolutely shit themselves over this. www.cbs42.com/news/nationa...

Homan went on CNN to complain that ICE’s attempts to arrest Chicagoans has been hampered by the people’s knowledge of policy—largely because of the city’s “Know Your Rights” campaign. Fascists rely on your compliance. On your ignorance. They depend upon your fear. Disappoint them.

I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means. A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose their medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.

Well, this is welcomed. Pamela Hemphill, who was sentenced to 60 days in jail for her participation in the Jan. 6 insurrection, won't accept Trump's pardon. "I fully regret everything I said and did at the Capitol." www.rawstory.com/pamela-hemph...

This is really good. A lot of you will be looking for something tangible you can do to protect those who are targeted by state kidnappers. I really like the idea of neighborhood ICE watches.

Not just cruel, but unfathomably stupid. Sends a pretty clear message that the U.S. will not protect people who risk their lives to help us. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Hey fyi for newer users, names of other websites don’t get you throttled here. There’s no surfacing algorithm save the one for the discover feed, and so no shadowbans and etc. You can say Patreon, OnlyFans, whatever, it’s fine. If ppl don’t wanna see terms they can mute em themselves

"For now, thankfully, the influence of Iran’s regime is weakening. This gives hope for Syria and Lebanon. And they should too become examples of how life can recover after war." - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

On the waning days of his presidency, I'm of two minds on Biden. On the one hand, he got a lot of his agenda accomplished and did a lot of good. On the other, his duty was to shepherd us through crises, and of 4, he only was decent on global warming. On Gaza, immigration, and covid, he was a coward.

you don't have to agree with it, you can say it's bad politics and that's fair, but: the reason the Democrats passed the Tiktok ban was because they wanted to make sure that Ukraine and Taiwan got one more round of military aid before Trump got into office and the Tiktok ban was the price for that

[kidz bop rage against the machine] some of those that love horses are the same that love foxes

We have been saying this for years and years. Fighting like hell for trans kids is a winning issue for democrats. Their brutality will doom them, if we have the courage to stand against it. Thank you @aoc.bsky.social. And All those in Congress who already get it

Room and board: $40 per day Prior balance: $2,751 Total amount owed: $17,071 Due date: 60 days That's what Chad LaVia was told he had to pay after spending a year in a Pennsylvania jail — despite being acquitted of all charges. boltsmag.org/jail-de...

N95 masks protect against wildfire smoke, airborne viruses, and more. They are an essential public health tool. Like condoms and many other public health tools, the government should make N95 masks free and easily accessible to the public throughout the year.

Los Angeles is not having water shortages. This is a bullshit right-wing talking point. 95% of Angelenos have had uninterrupted water supply throughout these wildfires. The issues in the hills have to do with uphill pumping issues, and tank storage in the hills.

You're going to hear a lot about Altadena, a beautiful, eccentric, really special community that suffered massive losses. If you haven't had a chance to visit, help them rebuild when it's time by coming, supporting local businesses and donating; they don't have the resources some other areas do.

LA friends, if you’ve lost your home, I’m so sorry. In case it helps, here’s some stuff I wish I’d known: 1. Make detailed contemporaneous notes about every conversation you have with your insurance company.

Right. Here's your to-do list for the next two months to put you in the best possible position to survive what's coming: 1. Renew your passport (or apply for a passport) this week even if it is not expiring in the next four years. Renewing early will give you the maximum 10-year validity period.

Happy New Year from Dorothy Parker (and me).

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣
