I'm many generations Southern. I have a long list of names of dead relatives who fought for the Confederacy. We don't play Dixie. We don't fly the Confederate flag. White supremacy and treason aren't any part of my "heritage" I want to celebrate. Fuck this quite literal noise.

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is booed by protesters as he announces Trump is cutting off funding for high-speed rail between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Instead of dealing with all the planes crashing everywhere, the former “Real World” star is abandoning investments in US infrastructure.

"Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Zelensky, I expect you to die"

America's best idea: National parks. America's worst idea: Electing a President whose number one priority was staying out of jail.

DOGE's "savings" is like saying, "I've saved hundreds of dollars by never changing the oil or replacing the brakes in my old car."

The irony of Democrats sending a strongly worded letter to Trump to stop the dismantling of the USPS isn’t lost on me. Don’t let him turn democracy into a dead letter office. F’n FIGHT.

It is way too on the nose than trump is starting his second term to try to shake down Ukraine… again

Seems like saving Democracy is going to come down to a handful of GOP representatives more afraid of a mob of angry seniors in their district than one angry senior in the White House.

Even MAGA had to think it’s pretty weird that their big strongman with Rocky’s photoshopped body sat in a fugue state as a four year old told him to shut up.

I'm here outside the Tesla showroom in Devon, Pa. west of Philly where about 10 hearty souls are protesting unelected billionaire Elon Musk #TeslaTakedown

Dad of the year

"None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters,” or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple."

Trump has spent a third of his term so far on the golf course and it’s only February. He might break his old record but like everything with him that Depends.

This is why JD Vance was in Europe claiming that the US values free speech. It is part of the imperial project to force Europe to allow Nazi incitement like the US allows.

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

Hegseth's tattoos got a lot of attention, but of course he denied they were racist. What probably should have gotten more attention: He belongs to a church that teaches slavery was the pinnacle of race relations. dougwilsonbelieves.com/beliefs/sout...

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I kept thinking, The War on Terror paid for this.

Rufo called me a groomer and sent his audience after my family because I said I was fine with my daughter going to therapy. CPS got called. It took months to get rid of them. My former colleagues thought it was hilarious and did nothing.

after i called out the @nytimes.com on bluesky and in my story for @dailykos.com the ny times has FINALLY added a correction. we caught them in the act. they tried to hide it. then we exposed them more. and now they've reacted again.

Hi @brianstelter.bsky.social www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Governor Mills of Maine has more courage than every single GOP politician in USA. More of this please, Trump is a f’n coward, stand up to him. Stand up for USA. F*ck MAGA.

A cult of blind unmanly obedience grovels from the head down.

NEW: Trump’s DoJ Chief of Staff has filed a complaint against Judge Reyes because she bench slapped their bigoted asses into the sun three days ago.

And have my dog piss on the ashes.

This is how it’s done.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government
