"daddy, what did you do in the war" son, i archived all 6,793 videos from the Kennedy Center before they disappeared from the internet we all did our part

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

How long until the Library of Congress faces a purge? Should historians be getting what resources they can now? I'm imagining anything related to the civil rights movement, anti-fascism, and even public health could be gone soon.

Great point.

You can’t spell FELON without ELON.

Kim just became NJ Senator in early December replacing Menendez. Now if we can get an organized effort from other senators to call out every illegal act by the Trump administration it would be a start.

And the government is concerned about TikTok?

This isn’t going to go well. #TrumpsTariffs

Good read

If I hated America and wanted to destroy it I’d do exactly what Trump is doing

It is alarming that the LA Times took a piece written by Dr. Reinhart, edited it to say the opposite of what he actuallly said, and then the owner, billionaire Trumper Dr. Soon-Shiong, tried to use the altered piece to amplify his own political beliefs.

It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

I’m hearing all the time from federal workers, nonprofits, LGBTQIA+ Americans, immigrant families, and others in our community who have been targeted and harmed by the president’s actions. I wrote this letter about our path forward.

In only two weeks, Trump has made us less safe at home, less safe abroad, less safe in the air, threatened our health/healthcare, positioned us for higher prices and more inflation, pissed off our allies and emboldened our enemies. Quite the overachiever.

Reality Bites.

Perfect example of why most confirmation hearings are a crock. Nominees should be judged by their past comments/actions, not by the sanitized image they attempt to portray.

This is not a surprise given what a loon the owner is but still astonishing

To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

Senator Adam Schiff: "Mr. Patel may be, I don't know, but he may be the first nominee for FBI Director in history who felt it necessary to plead the 5th." Mic drop.

I feel so much safer now that we've pardoned the guys with automatic weapons and arrested the guys with leaf blowers.

This was posted yesterday morning before the DCA crash. Prescient.

Why is the federal government blowing over $800K on a huge military plane to deport just 79 immigrants to Guatemala, when a regular flight used to cost us $100K? It’s all for show! And the truth—they weren’t rapists, murderers, or criminals.

Trump treats trade agreements as mere suggestions, which he can ignore if he feels like it. That's bad for business paulkrugman.substack.com/p/how-to-dam...
