Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

He may be gone but that remote access or his staff in those departments are still very much active. This is all about optics, he's still just as much a threat as before. Until a clean sweep of those systems is completed, they are 100% compromised. www.thedailybeast.com/elon-musk-ha...

It’s not “hostile” and it’s not “political” to display how much tariffs are added to your purchase. Retailers can face legal trouble for not disclosing tariff charges per the FTCA (Federal Trade Commission Act).

They used fear to get the media, the law firms, the universities and the private sector to comply. Fear of retribution. Retaliation. Revenge. Now, it’s the judiciary’s turn. This is what Fascism looks like.

Oh my God... it was all ChatGPT. They didn't even care enough about the American economy to do any of the work themselves. It almost feels... impeachable? How could sloppily using AI to create domestic policy, then hiding it, be consistent with the Oath of Office?

I adore Malcolm Kenyatta, PA State Representative 181st district. From North Philly!! Also a Temple University alum 💙 In addition, he is the DNC Vice Chair. Very grateful to have him in the PA House. Can't wait to watch him continue to stand up for democracy! @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification. I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….

With the flood of bad news, it can be hard to get perspective on just how much damage Trump is doing. So we made a chart to get across Trump's whole-of-government approach to wrecking the climate: at least 82 actions from 20 different agencies in 52 days. 🎁 link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/feat...

The United States is no longer a nation under the rule of law. I urge Canadians to avoid travel. Illegal detentions and kidnapping by ICE have become all too common for travellers and those with working VISAs. Stay away at this time. boingboing.net/2025/03/20/d...

A friend just told me how she sent messages to 4 state representatives (2 dem/2 rep) and our governor back in February about her concerns with what has been going on in the country. Only one responded and with a personalized response. That representative now just gained another voter in my friend 🧵

Feeling really inadequate today. Boss doesn’t like how I take notes. Says I’m not running a project well enough (because none of my male colleagues will do what I tell them to unless it comes from a male colleague - hello misogyny!) I would quit in a heartbeat but can’t afford to not have a paycheck

WaPo readers need to realize that every opinion piece they read is now the product of Bezos' rightwing censorship rules. Whether the author self censors or Post management does it after review, the result is the same. This is what oligarch controlled media looks like.

Trump just turned the White House into a Tesla dealership—hawking $60K cars to bail out Musk while everyday Americans watch their 401(k)s tank. Funny how he feels sorry for Elon losing money but doesn’t give a damn about the people suffering under his wreck of an economy. Oh, and it’s illegal.

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote. The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate. His approval ratings are tanking. He does not have a mandate. Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful. He's not.

If Republicans are afraid to face their constituents at town halls and hear what they have to say, then it’s time for Democrats to step in, fill the void, and say”We are here and we are listening.”

I just tried listening to the Republican press conference right now but had to stop. Nothing but a bunch of lies and BS from them. And all the chest thumping and boot licking is disgusting. They can take that King Cake they brought and shove it up their arses.

Part of the lesson here is that Trumpists, like many bullies, don’t handle it well if you stand up to them rather than caving. If Trump or Vance or their supporters had any character this petulant display and Zelenskyy’s defiance would be humiliating to them.
