is ur child texting state secrets in a Signal chat? ily - I Leaked Yemen (attack details) smh - Secret Message Hahahaha tbh - Talkin 'Bout Houthis idk - I Doubt Korea (is in this signal chat) gtg - Gonna Text Goldberg

These dipwads are compromising natsec by buttdialing on signal. No wonder they think gutting Ed is reasonable.

In case you want some sweet news today. I’m volunteering at the book fair at my kid’s school, and discovered Dav Pilkey paid for the whole thing. For the entire school. Every kid pre-k through fifth grade (the whole school) goes home with two free books.

this is great and gets to what might be the defining attribute of this administration which is that trump himself is barely aware of what is happening

“This case should be a wake up call. Our client has been disappeared and locked up solely based on his tattoos. It is naive to think this kind of incarceration with no chance to refute the charges against you will be limited to asylum seekers. If this goes unchallenged, who could be next?” 🧵

Jackie’s name was big enough to be restored. The many others who were removed, with the same justification, will not get the same attention. And that’s the problem.

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

SCOOP: Hooded ICE agents snatched Indian-born Georgetown postdoc Badar Suri from Rosslyn street Monday, per court filing. Like Khalil, linked to pro-Palestinian views & Rubio 'foreign policy' power, lawyer says. Then whisked to Louisiana. w/ @kyledcheney www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Oh, so Trump not only violated a court order, but he violated the 13th Amendment by selling people into slavery.

“He said that the inmates would perform forced labor for at least a year, possibly more, and that the “United States will pay a very low fee for them.”” wapo.st/3FyX8aZ

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

chuck schumer retire bitch

I'm sorry, but this is hilarious. Steph just needs ONE more 3 and Quinten Post and Draymond Green each have 3. The basketball gods are comedians. (Warriors shooting 62.5% 3FG, 10-16)

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

DHS confirms that it arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student. They say that ICE arrested him in coordination with the State Department in order to enforce President Donald Trump's executive order to deport student protesters.

There's a lot of frankly tedious debate about whether We're In Fascism Right Now. Whatever your view, I hope we can all agree that "government shock troops disappearing dissidents into their gulag network" is a pretty basic example of fascism. www.discourseblog.com/p/this-is-wh...

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Got a big box in your house? Put it upside down. Get under it. You're a hermit crab now. Hermit crabs don't gotta worry about nothin'

There’s a giant ten-foot-wide archway with a sign above it that says THE NEXT LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, and Gavin Newsom keeps trying to pass through it holding a twelve-foot piece of rebar out to his sides like a tightrope walker.

every lefty who lives in California currently hooting and hollering "WE TOLD YOU HE SUCKS" at the people who tried to hype up this sleazy hairpiece as a real contender Gavin Newsom is trash and always has been

Sometimes you see something that makes you realize that another person's mind is just always going to be a locked door to you, a total mystery. Impenetrable. For me that was Gavin Newsom making his debut podcast episode a talk with Charlie Kirk

Among Democrats - "Democrats need to be more (X) in their opposition to Trump's policies" Confrontational: 68% Civil: 19% YouGov / Feb 25, 2025 / n=1604

well fuck Gavin Newsom

Missed this yesterday. 19 Democrats (including Chuck Schumer.....) joined Republicans in voting to repeal a Biden rule requiring cryptocurrency brokers to adhere to the same tax reporting rules as stock brokers. A yes vote is a pro-fraud, pro-tax-evasion vote here. www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Some of the most privileged + protected white people were in the room last night and not one was willing to stand with Rep. Green.

Let this sink in.

Just an obvious point that anyone with the inside word on when these these total reversals are going to be announced is in a position to make almost limitless amounts of money. Don't forget that given the kind of people who make up this administration.

wanna feel old? it used to be Crime AND Punishment

If you're wondering about the vibe in Canada right now, I just got served this ad for a brewhouse that is just a portrait of the White House being burned down. No text, just a bigass picture of the White House burning and a link directly to their menu lolol

The State of the Union starts in 30 minutes so let me fact-check in advance for you: Fact: He's lying Fact: He's lying Fact: Despite the claim that this will help people, it will not. Fact: That's not technically a lie but implying it's good is very much a lie. Fact: America does not own Taiwan.

a new realization I’ve had about the incredible people who organized resistance against the nazis is how many of them probably hated each other

if someone is telling you that every crisis is an opportunity it’s often because they have the resources to take advantage of it. resources are unevenly distributed, and the effects of crises are as well. show up for people with fewer resources.

he thinks he’s king. he issues executive orders (royal decrees) and the entire society is expected to obey

New, at Can We Still Govern: Former 18F employees explain what was lost when they it was zeroed out by DOGE. "18F works just how Musk and team pretend that they want government to work. But when his team found it, they destroyed it." donmoynihan.substack.com/p/requiem-fo...

i've been trying to find a career that would best utilize my talents but there just aren't a lot of jobs where you read books next to the ocean

Dear #MAGA when they cut your Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and SNAP, when they take away your overtime & unemployment benefits & cut your wages, when your food is no longer safe to eat, know that we liberals/Dems weren't fighting against you, we were fighting for you.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them. Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

The game plan now will be to shift attention away from America withdrawing support from Ukraine by framing it as being about Zelensky disrespecting the US

If you can get to a protest and have called your reps, spend some time having fun with this 👇

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world. www.science.org/content/arti...

Re Zelensky at the WH, yet again, feminists and trauma/abuse- informed thinkers are years ahead of political analysts. There is no acceptable affect, no way to charm an abuser, and no “deal” other than playing very very dead that would change how Trump and his flying monkey Vance behaved.
