It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families. Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

This dingleberry is not for a united America, America will fall under tRump fascism.

Hold the fuck on — members of Elon Musk's private security detail have been deputized by the U.S. Marshals Service? What the actual fuck?!?!?

Elon Musk's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s, where they were in the German Nazi Party. They supported Hitler and then went to South Africa, a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany. Musk was an anti-semite and an apartheid lover.

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, convinces the decades-younger mother of his latest child that he is too vulnerable to legally claim the child as his own

AGolf Twittler is setting up his Military Dictatorship. Not much time left for the Military to end this nonsense with a Coup.

What ?!?

“For all the big talk about putting an end to “social engineering,” the Great Resegregation is itself a radical attempt to socially engineer America to be poorer, whiter, less equal, and less democratic.”

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

#StoneAgeMentality It appears #Rump can celebrate #BlackHistoty, but no one else. 🤬 Not making this up, yesterday at the #WH.

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

Don’t be a nice person…

Just a reminder that Covid is real

Let me help those who just get mad and post. It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals. Then, the biggest refiner is China. It will take a decade for the first $ If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

This is how Hitler rose to power.

And we got finger-wagged by a New England journo "expert" for not staying in our lane and sticking to our knitting (his words) and leaving hard stuff to (paywalled) NYT and Wapo. So we were right, and we did the right thing, and we didn't need anyone's permission to make our own news decisions.

Conversation just now with a former supporter of mine who remains a big MAGA. Her: “Joe, Trump doesn’t really lie. He just says things to drive you & other Dems crazy.” Me: “Has Trump EVER lied?” Her: “Nope. He just trolls you libs.” Me: “He’s NEVER Lied?” She just laughed.

More of this

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

Musk is indiscriminately firing NPS Rangers -- people who have dedicated their lives to protecting our precious national parks and those who visit them This now unemployed ranger asks that we write. Congress via npca.org/jobcuts

When Trump names unqualified loyalist Pete Hegseth as defense secretary and purges our top military leaders, it raises rational fears that he wants a military willing to train its guns on American citizens upon his orders.

FANTASTIC to see! See also below: youtube.com/shorts/Pj8Tg...

“MAGA stands for resegregation and racism”

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

Woke or biology? There are actually more than the basic “male” XY & “female” XX sexes. Why? Because biology also creates people with single X chromosomes, or extra chromosomes like XXX, XXY, XYY, or XXX+, plus many 🧬genes. 👉All I’m asking is— please be kind to others. Thanks🙏

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Agent Orange

I’m so tired of disabled people being left behind in almost every way. In education, in economics, in diversity, in equity, I could go on. With things shifting and society uprising, disabled people are usually the last to be thought of. I can’t tell you how traumatizing it is to be abandoned.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

Not sure how this makes America great

@defensebaron.bsky.social’s post on another platform: Ex-con Steve Bannon says the Jan 6 families should sit in the "elite" boxes at the Kennedy Center when they reopen it, and the Kennedy Center "elite" who usually sit there should be sent to jail overnight in "the DC gulag."

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Major news media aren't ready to say directly that Trump and Musk are pushing us toward a dictatorship, and by the time they come around to that fact, it may be illegal to say so.

Anyone you know shocked at the blatant Nazism of the GOP needs to be sat down and told they need to listen better in the future.

Stephen King has returned to Twitter. 10/10. No notes. 🔥
