They were FUCKING smiling! #FuckICE

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

What he said…

‘Congratulations, MAGAs, You Defeated Our Woke Liberal Agenda’ johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/congratula...

The Trump administration is firing hundreds and perhaps thousands of federal workers as part of a crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Many of the fired weren't in DEI jobs.

Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social: "The only way you can think that recognizing the accomplishments of Jackie Robinson, Elizabeth Eckford or Harriet Tubman is somehow divisive, is if you think that black people are not Americans. Their heroism as Americans makes the country better."

“High crimes” was a term of art referring broadly to abuse of power by people in high office. It obviously could not mean “federal statutory felonies” at the time the Constitution was ratified, when there weren’t any yet.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

So now Tesla is not taking it’s own vehicles in trade-in? Hmm… seems so telling.

For real. Fox is trying to prop up the Trump regime.

"The catch is that in order to get attention, you have to be terrible. You have to lie or embrace evil. In the attention economy there is enormous demand for civic blasphemy. What’s hard is getting attention for messages about truth, or virtue, or love."

I think we have to confront the fact that tens of millions of Americans have pledged slavish allegiance to a man who says explicitly that his benchmark for when America was great is 1913. And then we have to think about the possibility that we are in the throes of a nationwide mental health crisis.

Every decision and action points in that direction.

MSNBC just showed a montage of world leaders calling the USA idiotic, illogical, hostile, unhinged.... literally never seen anything like this. From the shining city on a hill to an object of global derision and contempt.

This administration is so incredibly stupid.

Douchery never ends — nor does the hypocrisy over “patriotism.“ Wish he and the rest of the eagle & flag fetishists would give it a rest.

How is it that this isn’t getting more attention?

I spoke to an expert in authoritarianism, who explained to me that things like this are extremely meaningful and they help protect democracy, even if there’s not a straight line between this and actual legislating

This is what standing up against oppression looks like. 🫡

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.

Up against the richest man in the world spending more than anyone's ever spent in a judicial race, Susan Crawford never wavered. Never cowered. Kept fighting. A lesson, there.

Love that African American Senator Cory Booker broke the filibuster record of despicable segregationist Strom Thurmond. Respect 🫡

Meidas hits some of the highlights of Booker’s epic and historical speech.

Time for Harvard and other colleges targeted by this administration to use their endowments to fight back. @sifill.bsky.social is right — the aim is destruction. See Hungary and other autocracies for the road map.

Instead of Trump serving a third term in office, let's see to it he's serving his first in prison.

The people who told you to calm down because they would never overturn Roe are now telling you to calm down because they will never allow Trump to serve a third term.

Some countries seem capable of protecting themselves from crooks like LePen and TFG. Why can’t we?

Just asking for a friend… What’s to stop anyone from taking “participating” in the Musk giveaway while still voting for the good guys?

@marcelias.bsky.social on Trump's 3rd term threats: "He's saying he's not joking, so everyone in the legacy media: wake the fuck up."

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago. Where have most of the gains gone? To the top. Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity. This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

Breathtaking. A federal prosecutor in LA was fired Friday at the behest of the White House, after lawyers for a fast-food executive he was prosecuting pushed officials in DC to drop all charges against him White House ordered firing of L.A. federal prosecutor on ex-Fatburger CEO case, sources say

Two honorable Americans! Thank you for your service.

You all make us proud. Every time we share information, you’re right there helping us amplify it and push back. Huge thanks to those who stepped up—especially the lawyers. Word spread, and Musk’s team was made aware that Wisconsin law prohibits payments for voter turnout.

DOGE staffer ‘Big Balls’ helped cybercrime group. One of the most prominent members of Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) team once supported a cybercrime group that boasted about trafficking stolen data and stalking an FBI agent.

Four Americans also died in Benghazi. There were 10 investigations and an entire Congressional select committee. Did Pete Hegseth know? If so, why didn’t he brief the President?

"What we’re seeing is a wholesale abandonment of consumer protection, leaving people to fend for themselves when credit card companies, banks, payday lenders and payment apps violate the law." CFPB Probes of Big Tech and Finance Frozen Under Trump

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

Facing pressure from his right flank to take on judges who have ruled against President Donald Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, on Tuesday floated the possibility of Congress eliminating some federal courts. ...it's a fucking coup

We have truly entered the Age of Onanocracy*. (*Government by w#nkers)

My Kingdom and more for anyone to realize that awarding yourself a government contract is not a conflict of interest. It's corruption. When the bank teller takes the money out of the cash drawer and puts it in his pocket that's not a conflict of interest either.

Vance, Hegseth, Trump shit on the intelligence and accomplishment of Black people for sport all as a way of confirming for white Americans the myth that the dumbest, most incompetent, most morally reprehensible white men are preferable to the most decent, prepared, hard-working Black person.

Three days ago Trump took away my non-existent security clearance…. At the same time his cabinet was texting top secret plans with a member of the media on board. Copy that
