HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

NEWS The FDA, which operates under the authority of Robert Kennedy Jr., canceled the meeting to discuss next year’s flu vaccines. This could interfere with or delay production of flu vaccines. 86 children and 19,000 adults have died from flu this season. About 430,000 people were hospitalized.

OMFG.

To be fair, he was really REALLY drunk at the time. Not sure how that's different from now, but you go with what you got.

i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!

On this day in 1963, in under 10 hours, The Beatles recorded 10 songs for Please Please Me, plus four for their next singles, including Love Me Do. John Lennon’s raw take on Twist & Shout was done in one take despite a bad cold. The album topped the UK charts for 30 weeks.

Hell yeah lawyers

Warren: "Only Congress -- not Donald Trump, not Elon Musk, not some 22-year-old programmers -- only Congress can shut this agency down."

I was born in New York City, and both of my parents grew up there. Eric Adams is the worst and most corrupt mayor we've had in my lifetime, and I hope NYers get up tomorrow and flood his office with calls and letters telling him to fuck all the way off. 1/ www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Who could have possibly predicted?

Defying mainstream media narratives about the exhausted opposition, protests are picking up in D.C. and across the country, led by protesters who never hung up their placards to begin with.

Sell your Teslas and don't buy Cybertrucks unless you want everyone to laugh at you. That's what we all do, btw. Everytime we see that stupid car, we just laugh.

I wonder why Musk is focused on the federal civilian workforce (4% of the budget) and not federal contractors, which account for 3x more annual spending and are more prone to waste, fraud, and abuse?

One of my 2025 writing goals is to make 12 pro sales, but this raises the question of what exactly IS a pro sale? In today's blog post, I'm gonna see if I can figure that out. Have a look. #writingcommunity #amwriting wp.me/p6jTNd-2jZ

The truth is not stranger than fiction, it’s dumber.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Thank you @sabrinacartan.bsky.social for this meme. And to everyone who defended democracy and the Constitution yesterday. Trump can lose when we fight back ✊

It’s been 7 days since our single was released, and a lot has changed already. Proceeds of this Sinéad O’Connor cover song benefit ICE detainees, when bought off Yama Uba’s Bandcamp. It’s also streaming on all platforms. 🖤 #sineadoconnor #alternativemusic #90smusic #darkwave #newwave #postpunk

There’s a good chance Trump will push for a show of force using immigration raids soon after taking power. Immigrants, allies, and protesters need to quickly get familiar with their rights and we all need to get emotionally and mentally prepared. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/get-ready-...

ACOSTA: Do you agree with Trump's decision to pardon violent people? REP. BURCHETT: If they were truly violent, no. But I don't know that? ACOSTA: What do you mean you don't know? We're showing the footage right now.

Today was, in every way, a brutal lunch to the gut. A reminder that authoritarianism is weaponized abuse meant to wear you down and destroy your hope. Drink some water. Get some rest. Practice self-care. Ground yourself in your principles. We will defeat this. Not tonight or tomorrow. But we will.

The rules, if you are keeping track: If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever. If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.
