We live in what has been an exceptionally stable country, but it's just been destabilized. In that instability is possibility--not to return to the world of January 19th, 2025, but to something other than this rampage of hate and destruction, this oligarchs against everything coup. If we seize it.

Don't want to be an American Idiot ...

The new version of Starship will be tested again in four to six weeks. A third consecutive failure could indicate fundamental problems with the updated design.

Because Gov Mills told him something he didn’t want to hear

It's tempting to believe that Trump is a Russian asset, because it would explain so many of his actions. But there's another explanation that has more evidence to support it. This is a man who has made idiotic, reckless, and ruinous decisions his entire life. Why would he stop now?

Six weeks into the second Trump administration, a chill is spreading over Washington and beyond as people on both sides stay silent out of fear of retribution. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

"Trump is a soulless sociopath. This is not news. But without the Vances, Rubios, and Thiessens of the world, he would not be quite the danger to the Atlantic alliance, peace, and security that he is." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-vanc...

Butterflies are in alarming decline in the US with populations plummeting by a fifth in just the past two decades, according to the most comprehensive study of them yet.

if only there were an agency charged with preventing shit like this that wasn’t under the thumb of the person running the very company that’s doing shit like this

FAA halts flights at Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, and Orlando airports for "space launch debris" after SpaceX test flight 8 explodes, like test flight 7 did. Debris falling broadly across the Caribbean and Bahamas areas. FAA will certainly need to do mishap investigation again.

Assistance for me, not for thee: An enthusiastic Trump voter ... "relies on Medicaid and food stamps, said she resents other forms of government assistance that she thinks encourage people not to work."

House Republicans have censured Al Green for heckling. He should have stuck to behavior the GOP approves of in the Capitol, like beating up police officers and shitting on desks

Green: I will suffer whatever the consequences are because I don't believe in the richest country in the world people should be without good health care. I stood up for my constituents then. I'm standing up for them now. I would do it again.

Voting is the foundation of our freedoms — and anti-voter attacks are deliberately targeting communities of color and low-income communities to silence their voices. We celebrate the reintroduction of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act in the House this week 🎉

Isn't this stock market manipulation? www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Holy shit! In plain sight…

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

We just had a new falcon visiting the Campanile for 15 minutes or so. Fingers crossed it will continue to hang out and get to know the area! Based on head, bill shape, and skin and feather coloration, it appears to be a new bird. #peregrinefalcon #urbanwildlife #cal #berkeley #gobears

President Trump defended his humanitarian aid cuts to countries around the globe, including one nation he joked "nobody has ever heard of." Here are some facts about the African nation of Lesotho.

Well played.

1. Trump declares tariffs that tank the stock market. 2. Trump and Musk buy cheaper stocks. 3. Trump rescinds tariffs, reviving the stock market. 4. Trump and Musk sell more expensive stocks.

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

Large amounts of ketamine can make anyone feel like they rule the world. When should Americans start worrying about Elon Musk’s regular use? @shaylalove.bsky.social reports:

Trump really managed to piss of the nicest country on Earth with this trade war

BREAKING: @campaignlegal.org @ucsusa.bsky.social @jacl-national.bsky.social & Sierra Club have filed a lawsuit challenging Elon Musk and DOGE's unlawful & devastating funding & staffing cuts to the U.S. National Park Service & Forest Service www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

So is Trump the classic bully who runs away when someone stands up to him? It definitely looks that way.

James Carville and David Axelrod are repositories of horrid takes and bad advice.

BREAKING - Trump just asked Congress for a death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer Says the man who PARDONED over 400 violent insurrectionists who assaulted the Capitol Police on his behalf on January 6 -- with 4 officers ultimately dying

Dude says we have to take care of our law enforcement FUCK YOU!!! YOU ASSHOLE YOU PARDONED OUR ATTACKERS

Name one thing Trump has done for the good of the country to make lives better.

Not my most eloquent letter, but utterly sincere....

Good turnout at Bay Area nat'l parks today--including our group at the Rosie the Riveter visitors center in Richmond, CA.

If the Trump-Musk agenda is so popular, why are Republicans hiding from their constituents? Keep fighting. Keep calling. Keep showing up. Keep causing good trouble.

Ten years ago, if someone told me that the United States would one day be an ally of Russia and fighting with Canada, I would have laughed. But I guess the laugh is on the USA for electing someone so petty, venal, and stupid.

Trump did that

This is a pretty big attack on the First Amendment. And an encroachment on universities' powers to decide what protests to allow and who to expel.....

Foot. Shooting self in.

Donald Trump is working to secure Russian dominance. He is an enemy of the American people.
