today's leaders are not meeting the moment. it is time for a change. it is time for Chancleta.

The perfect metaphor for what the Supreme Court did to this country with Citizens United v. FEC.

Never enough of YOUR tax money for YOUR Medicare, veterans benefits, or social security but always enough of YOUR tax money to protect THEIR corporations and oligarchs. #3E #TeslaTakeDown #EndOligarchy

Former Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley says the cuts DOGE proposed to Social Security will destroy the program Which will leave millions of Americans destitute-or dead “Everything they’re doing is driving this agency to system collapse..It will lead to..the interruption of benefits”

From the Triangle Shirtwaist fire to the suffragettes beaten in the streets, from Black and Indigenous women’s stolen labor, to the fight for reproductive rights, & todays attacks on trans women - the battle for liberation is unfinished. No one is free until we all are. #InternationalWomensDay

Transphobia hurts *everyone*

The mass protests are having a serious impact on the Trump regime, Tesla stocks continue to collapse and JD Vance is growing more scared by the day, despite everyone being nonviolent and respectful. The boycotts are also sending Trump and the oligarchs into a panic. Keep it up and keep going. #3E

Mon-Thu: upend millions of lives Fri-sun: golf

This isn’t a novel concept, it’s highly popularized. And the fact that we’re seeing this attitude resonate so deeply within the so-called opposition party should alarm the shit out of overton-window watchers.

And watch the incompetently engineered, flaming SpaceX rocket debris fill the sky like the most expensive fireworks in history.

Everyone who cares about the Constitution needs to read this. DOGE has restructured the Treasury Dept to automatically block payments by federal agencies that do not align with EOs, impounding federal funds appropriated by Congress. This is a Constitutional crisis. @nathantankus.bsky.social

This Repub CR, that they claim will keep the government open, is a perfect example of why you must read bills. Inside the text, you’ll find cuts everywhere, and so much money taken from vets you wouldn’t believe it. These guys are frauds. Nice try! Hard NO! Throw it in the 🗑️

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Every single trade provision Trump is now whining about with Mexico and Canada is a trade provision HE HIMSELF negotiated in the USMCA in 2018

US aid to Ukraine since Feb 2022 totals $128 billion, mostly older weapons, not cash. The crypto industry is seeking a bailout of $100 billion from the US Treasury. That is cash. Remember that when crypto CEOs accuse anyone else of "grifting." www.cfr.org/article/how-...

Dear Congressional Democrats: A shutdown Trump regime is far better than an open one that cuts Medicaid, Social Security and Medicare. Shut it down!!

I don’t know who our nominee is going to be in 2028 but I can tell you I won’t support any Democrat that refuses to promise investigations and prosecutions for the many crimes of this Administration. We’re not going to play this stupid game again of upholding “norms and traditions.” Period.

wait, you’re telling me that by objecting to unanimous consent, a single senator can grind the body to a halt?

Someone in the crowd started an anti-trans rant at the Markey town hall and was immediately swarmed by a bunch of older lib women who shouted her down and chased her out, like a bunch of crows chasing away a predator.

No idea how long these glitches and difficulties will last.

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days. That is beyond unacceptable.

Remarkably, I've yet to get anyone to explain to me why it should be made illegal for this 14-year-old trans girl to play field hockey with her friends. Anyone? Anyone at all want to explain it to me?

One thing that really bugs me about so many of the anti-trans arguments about sports is that they'll be like, "Lia Thomas was a giant! Clearly she had an unfair advantage!" when the reality was just that she was pretty much the same size as other elite women swimmers.

Ain’t no bird flu if you don’t inspect for bird flu.

i wish desperately that these morons' actions wouldn't affect the rest of the world bc god i would LOVE to watch these libertarian fuckheads deregulate themselves into dying of a cholera outbreak

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

Non-white women are going to be accused of being masculine or gaining an edge, when they defeat white women who fit the western ideals of femininity. All that white women will need to do is accuse their non-white opponent of not being a woman. And men will come to destroy her to feel “protective”.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

This is a really good summary of the whole Trump tariff clown show in a way that probably only the Canadian Broadcasting Corp cld do. Not like aggressive, just a dispassionate and very clarifying. Even elegant. Quite good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHoZ...

I'm sure he can pay for all that golf by ending more kids with cancer programs.

She’s just the sweetest girl, give her a little food and and little kindness, and she will just love you immediately. She would love to find a family who she can just relax and feel safe and cozy with. Located in Elkton, MD. www.petfinder.com/cat/petunia-...

It's lengthy but I'll cut to the chase. Find your issue and commit to that. One person does not need to resist everywhere.

The burdens of Republicans’ campaign of hatred against the community affect trans people most severely, but they truly fall on everyone. I don’t want to live in a society where police officers come storming into the john demanding to see your private parts. www.advocate.com/news/lesbian...

2014: why are you trying to create a censorious environment for curious intellectuals? 2025: these French fries may deny the holocaust

The tide is shifting. Republicans are beginning to recognize that the attacks on trans people need to stop. They do nothing but demean people & distract from the work government should be focused on—improving the lives of all who call this country home. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Glad this is still getting attention because it was a genuinely insane move in a wide variety of ways, including that had these guys gotten their way it may have actually breached levees and led to floods across California farmland.

58 missiles and 194 drones fired on Ukraine last night. That's how Russia "wants peace" while Trump keeps twisting Ukraine's arms.

NEW: The National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods is (or was) an advisory committee housed within the USDA which provides outside expert advice to advance food safety across the US and across different levels of govt. It was ordered disbanded this afternoon.
