I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

In South Carolina, tonight: “I have an ectopic pregnancy. It’s on my ovary. They’re making me risk my ovary even though I don’t want to. They refuse to do the surgery.” #ForcedBirthNation Original Post: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2yCKENt/

I am proud to post this, although I have no idea who cares. This is a personalized documentation of my travels throughout my life as well as pushpins can show. I hope they can be seen. Take it easy Mike

Even as she expressed support for key Trump policies—including private-school voucher programs and bans on trans girls and women from sports—McMahon’s scant experience in education was on display as she misstated, or failed to answer key questions about, federal education law.

Today, we honor the 216th birthday of Abraham Lincoln by carrying out his legacy in the continued fight for democracy & truth. The party he built has been bastardized - he wouldn't recognize it today. With our institutions & freedoms in danger, Lincoln's memory is more important now than ever.

BAHAHA!

According to the Guttmacher Institute, a research outfit that studies reproductive health issues, Trump’s stop-work order will over three months deny 11.7 million women and girls in low- and middle-income countries contraceptive care and lead to a rise in unintended pregnancies and abortions.

It would be the 51st state but also the 62nd state.

Congratulations to the Eagles

Mindset reset: Right now, brave Ukrainians are defending their land & loved ones, at the cost of their sanity, limbs & lives. It’s an existential fight for their democracy & way of life. If the Russians lose, they go home. If the Ukrainians lose, they will be overrun & destroyed. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

That everyone is just sitting back watching private citizens openly hacking into government systems shows what dangerous times we live in. That their made-up “agency” is named after a canine internet meme shows what stupid times we live in.

Charlamagne Tha God's wake-up call to Republicans: Elon is constitutionally cucking you!

TIME Magazine's latest cover features Elon Musk at the Resolute Desk. After spending at least $290 million on the election, the world's richest man is making it clear who really pulls the strings in the White House.

The password is... ethnic cleansing

Resist! ✊ 💙 👊 Fight!

Attention: @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social NO "bipartisan" Vichy bullshit The GOP created this fascist cesspool, let them drown in it Stand up and fight - or resign

the first good post i think i've ever seen from a democratic committee account

Has Trump considered a "Face/Off" solution for Palestine? No bad ideas, right?!

"The Administration would be allowed to rescind the agreement, or the government could stop paying, and employees who took the resignation package would waive all legal claims... 'It sounded like a commercial for a used car dealership, like, ‘Act now, 1 day only’...” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The NFL announced that private equity will be allowed to invest in the league’s franchises for the first time ever. Be warned: Private equity ruins everything it touches.

NOW: HOW DO WE GET ELON AND HIS TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES ARRESTED? Democrats awaken to Trump’s plot to privatize government: a symbolic but potent bill to impeach will be introduced So how do we put Musk behind bars? Process, in the new Countdown Podcast tinyurl.com/5xkbpayj

Democrats: stop trying to make Chuck Schumer happen. It's not gonna happen.

👋 legal profession! "With the Trump administration warning career lawyers to follow orders even if they have ethical qualms, pressure is building on professional legal associations to take a stance against efforts to upend long-standing norms of public service..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Recipient of billions of dollars in federal funds, Elon Musk, will determine if he has any conflicts of interest in policing who gets federal funds. And Mexican drug cartels will report to the police every time they break any laws. Honest!

Dear Humans, Gather 'round, for I bring thee great tidings of schadenfreude. The pardoned January 6 insurrectionists keep getting arrested or worse. Karma doth continue its holy work. Let us review.

If Trump is wondering who made the "terrible" deal with Canada, maybe he should look in the mirror

What's worse? Leaders that are too old or crypto bros named "bigballs" with access to your SSN?

Trump humiliated again. “We don’t have firm guidance at this point in time. But we recognize that there is a potential problem,” Peters said. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Even if Los Angeles were low on water, Trump’s executive orders wouldn’t help with that, because the federal government’s canal system doesn’t actually deliver any water to the Los Angeles area. From @gristnews.bsky.social via @climatedesk.org:

Senate is about to give a prestigious job to RFK Jr, a man whose anti-vaxx group had to pay nearly $1 million to women who accused him of sexual misconduct. There are other instances too. Apparently, it is too much to ask that we don't reward men who abuse women. www.mediaite.com/politics/exc...

McConnell wrote: “The evidence shows that the alleged rescission of the OMB Directive was in name-only and may have been issued simply to defeat the jurisdiction of the courts.”

Do the Trump lackeys blaming DEI for the plane crash not realize they are DEI hires?

We're so tired. We're tired of people pretending he's not an idiot. We're tired of his lies. We're tired of his sickening amorality. We're tired of his face, his voice, his smirk. We're tired of his inability to say even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate, ever. So tired.

In 2024, we invited you to take a peek at the terrible future Donald Trump would impose on America. That vision is now becoming a reality for us all, but we refuse to submit to his dark vision for our country.

Something's up: Murdoch's NY Post throws RFK Jr and his nomination under the bus nypost.com/2025/02/03/o...

Is this wrong?
