If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.

Once again, I never again want to hear a single journalist credulously & without challenge accept platitudes from a single GOP politician that they or their party are serious about national security or the rise of China or any other aspect of global leadership by the US.

Please share. 🙏🏻

Mass firings, shutting down critical services, blowing up our alliances, crashing the markets, encouraging inflation... These aren't the actions of a political party aspiring to get reelected. These are the actions of an authoritarian regime that does not intend to honor elections ever again.

Cancer research, nutrition, communicable diseases, airborne covid-like plagues, climate change are under assault. And new this week: “the return of Measles- a ‘gift’ by RFK. MARCH 7TH - PEACEFULLY STAND UP & WALK OUT FOR SCIENCE. Your life really could depend on it. standupforscience2025.org

Found it.

Dimestore Goebbels letting spineless Republicans who think Trump was a jackass today know that they better have his back on this and praise him or else they will be looking at a primary. Or worse.

Thank you, Cameron.

We’re a nation of consumers. Let’s make it mean something.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

It occurs to me that not everyone knows how to get to Sugarbush, the ski resort JD Vance is visiting. It’s a great mountain, but even if you don’t ski, it’s a beautiful drive to get there, especially on a clear day like tomorrow. You can get directions here. You’re welcome!

She voted for 18 of 19 Cabinet nominees. She's free to resign, or switch parties at any time. Otherwise, no one wants tweets from her right now. She's shamefully enabled the fascism at every point & she, Collins, & the other supposedly "moderate" Republicans are exactly why we are here.

Like insurance is a Ponzi scheme? What an ass clown

To be clear, “Vance skis in jeans” is Vermont’s highest insult. This is Final Boss Nuclear Insult level in the Vermont linguistic hierarchy.

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness." Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

Attendees at TX-03 town hall with Rep Keith Self are shouting “Do your job!” Americans are fed up with Elon Musk’s unconstitutional takeover of our federal government!

He should never be allowed in public without this happening

I prefer "A Spectacle to Horrify the World."

Holy crap.

This is probably the most accurate take.

Back in my day there was so much toilet paper and so much eggs that we gathered at night and threw them at the houses of our enemies #EconSky

The unspoken body language of implied power speaks volumes. This is a display of a modern coup.

I hope that the UC Conference of Catholic Bishops join the lawsuit for injunction. Episcopal Presbyterian Quakers and Mennonites are truly walking the talk. Where are we US Catholics?

Pope Francis has written a sweeping letter to the U.S. bishops decrying the "major crisis" triggered by President Donald Trump's mass deportation plans and explicitly rejecting Vice President J.D. Vance's attempts to use Catholic theology to justify the administration's immigration crackdown.

This, notably from a Meta board member, is where all of this ends. The only question is how quickly we get there. But his question — and the unknown that follows — is real.

“Two weeks into a fast-moving coup by a South African tech oligarch, the USA hangs suspended this weekend in a liminal state between the constitutional republic it has been for 249 years and an authoritarian regime akin to Europe’s fallen democracy, Hungary.” www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/white-nati...
