Here are some nice mushrooms

'Maximum transparency': Musk wants access to your tax data, yet his finances are still secret: Elon Musk, required by federal law to file financial disclosures as he rampages across government, doesn't want anybody else looking at this tax returns. Neither does Donald Trump, the first president or…

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

"As we navigate the sheer quantity of hate and unconstitutional extremism found within these orders, it’s essential we not let this blitzkrieg distract or deter us." - Keith Thirion

who’s gonna do it, who will be the hero we needed

Omaha Beach, Normandy, France. Today, Steve Bannon threw a Nazi salute. That is three now from the highest echelons of this administration. Think about that.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy “a feast” as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

There’s something happening in this country.

Steve Bannon was applauded at CPAC after he gave a Nazi salute followed by an “amen.” Elon gave one too. Believe your own eyes & ears. Conservatives have aligned themselves with the ideology that used gas chambers to murder millions.

French far right leader Jordan Bardella cancelled his speech at the CPAC conference after Steve Bannon made a nazi salute. When you're too far-right for the French far-right, you're not just cos-playing the nazis to 'own the libs'. You are an actual nazi. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Updates on Pardon Tracker's interactive visualization: embed.kumu.io/39b5108ec4a0...

Important to stop phrasing & headlining things as "Trump does XXX" (e.g. "Trump fires all USPS heads and integrates it under Commerce"); we can simply say he is purporting to do XXX, or claiming the power to do XXX. Mere fact of a president saying he did something doesn't will it into existence.

We rely on USPS for medications, government services, ballots, and more. The postal service is a public good. We can’t allow it to be turned over to greedy billionaires to squeeze out profits by exploiting workers and degrading service. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I did not know the USPS was the largest employer of vets...now they are about to all lose their jobs. 5calls.org #RISE #REVOLT #REVOLUTION2025 #OpUSA

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

The same people who'll get mad about others using the term "Pregnant People" instead of "Pregant Women" will turn a blind eye to "Controversial Gesture" being used instead of "Nazi Salute." Even with very clear footage of Steve Bannon doing one as well. We've reached peak stupidity as a species.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

The second rule of Fight Club is "you do not talk about Fight Club."

This is an excellent template and should be disseminated widely

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout. Democrats voted yes. Republicans voted no. Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.
