Seems like the relevance of this Reagan-era Herblock cartoon has risen by 200%. Washington Post, 12/22/1988.

Stop giving your attention and money to the mainstream media and start supporting alternatives like: Democracy Docket The Contrarian Meidas Touch Please put other alternatives you like in the comments. Let’s build a great list of resources we can trust.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Obama knew

What are Musk and his hackers doing in the Social Security Administration? Americans paid into these accounts with our hard earned money. It has nothing to do with the deficit. That was caused by GOP tax cuts largely for the rich and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I absolutely agree 💯💯 🎯

Meanwhile, we children’s writers are going to keep including gender diverse characters and rainbow families in our books, because they are just, you know, normal.

Tomorrow is President’s Day but I don’t feel like honoring the idiot who is killing our democracy.

Walking the dog. Like I do every day. She pooped. Like she does every day. I picked it up with a little baggie. Like I do every day. But today, instead of waiting to toss the bag of fresh, steaming dogshit in a trash can at home, I left it on the hood of a double-parked Cybertruck. Where it belongs.

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.” Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.

Trump’s corrupt quid pro quo with the dismissal of charges against the indicted mayor of NYC is far worse than Watergate. The press and the Democrats need to treat it as such. It is heartening that mass resignations at DOJ show there are still people with integrity in the justice system.

“Be careful. When a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health.” — Albert Camus This warning should chill all American who care about our nation.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at Bluesky for the follows and the conversations and the constructive, substantive interaction. It's a great forum, a great resource for circulating and talking about the news, and -- most of all -- a pleasure. I'm grateful!

The job of congress isn't to come on here and tell us stuff, that's the media's job. Your job is to tell us what you're going to DO about it.

Trump and his GOP rubber stamps are planning decimation of programs helping low and moderate income Americans. This includes Medicaid, Obamacare, food assistance like school lunches, and climate change programs. Is this what kind of country we want to leave to future generations?

Happy Birthday to the world’s greatest dad. In January 2021, he said to me: “Defend the Republic, Daughter.” I will, Dad. Always.

No one elected the oligarch Elon Musk to any office and now he is compromising the essential functions of government and Americans privacy. wapo.st/4jH7XYa

Caroline Kennedy invoked her father JFK & her uncle RFK saying they would be “disgusted” by RFKjr nomination. Tonight 10pm @lastword.msnbc.com

Trump once again turns the US into a pariah state by pulling our nation from the Paris climate accord. He does this while Southern California is burning and it is snowing in Florida. Climate change is here now and will only get worse. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/c...

Who made this 🤣
