If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

In every age it has been the tyrant, the oppressor and the exploiter who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism, or religion, or both to deceive and overawe the People. Eugene Debs

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Did you know?

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

Yep

The Homeland Security secretary said tonight that Trump told her to film ads that “thank me for closing the border.” DHS has budgeted up to $200 million for its anti-immigration ad campaign. w/ @swin24.bsky.social @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

Bannon was a Nazi long before this salute.

Corrupt cops are Trumps favorite cops.

"Tyranny is rising in the White House, and a man has declared himself our king. So I would like to know—rather, the *people* would like to know, what you, Congressman, and your fellow congressmen are going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the White House."

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

His response to this is unreal. First: he says that Republicans had the same complaints when Biden was in office, and Then: when the crowd rightfully booed that bullshit comparison, he **compares them to J6 rioters.**

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Former Vice President Mike Pence denounced Donald Trump over his biggest, most flagrant lie of late — the infuriating claim that Ukraine started the war with Russia. Pence reappeared to slam Trump’s Putin-inspired lie. Posting the indisputable truth on X, Pence emphasized his…

Every Democrat should be telling this story.

A 10% universal tariff on $3.25 trillion of annual US merchandise imports would potentially raise ~$300 billion. Last year, US personal income tax brought in nearly 30x that.

Earlier today I wrote an open letter to Elon Musk in response to a post in which he claimed that I am “undermining civilization” and suffering from “generational trauma.” The response I received from so many of you was overwhelming. Thank you for all the kind words of support. The fight continues.

BREAKING: The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals—made up of a Trump appointee, a Jimmy Carter appointee, and a George W. Bush appointee—rejected Trump's DOJ emergency request to lift a Seattle judge’s hold on his unconstitutional birthright citizenship executive order. So. Much. Winning

BREAKING: A Ninth Circuit panel DENIES the Trump administration’s request to limit the nationwide scope of a Seattle court’s injunction that blocks Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship. The panel included two Republican appointees, and one Democratic appointee

It’ll be interesting to see if DOJ will be in as much of a hurry to take *this* case up to #SCOTUS as it was the Dellinger case. My own bet is “probably not,” especially given the loss here was before a pretty friendly panel—and Judge Forrest’s (IMHO, unanswerable) points about “irreparable” harm.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the original American patriots fought a fucking Revolutionary War to liberate ourselves from the rule of a king. This ain't the flex he thinks it is.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

it’s so cool that we are at the whims of this reactionary force of groypers that don’t understand anything, lead by the dumbest guy ever seen in history

Donald Trump seems afraid, or at the very least, constrained in what he can say about Vladimir Putin. What's going on?

Bernie Sanders: "We're not only dealing with a move toward authoritarianism, we're dealing with what is new to America -- politicians have always lied, nothing new about that. But the level that we're seeing right now. The big lie, over and over again ... "

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil former leader Bolsonaro knew and agreed to a plan to poison President Lula, top prosecutor says.

Totally right. You ALL should have stood together & walked out when they didn’t let the @apnews.com in. Use your power & support each other @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @cnn.com @manbc.bsky.social

The DOGE guys didn’t just make one $8B mistake in their savings list — “they are getting it wrong with alarming consistency” They don’t seem to understand how these things are calculated. 🧵: x.com/electricfutu...

We are done

The curmudgeon philosopher @radiofreetom.bsky.social nails it yet again, www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com had Anna Linn, former USAID contract worker, laid off by the thoughtless DOGE knife. She worked on reducing malaria deaths. It is consistent with her deep Christian faith. The program was started by GW Bush era USAID to address the 600000 malaria deaths per year.

BINGO!!! Also, they know if they decimate the construction industry, the farm workers, meat packing plants, etc, how will we eat or how will anything happen??? Let's admit, they are the base of our society.

Tom Homan can’t find enough illegal immigrants to deport because they fabricated the ‘crisis,’ so now he’s just gonna spend all his time attacking AOC.

In a new filing, an official in the Trump Administration says that Elon Musk is not the Administrator in charge of DOGE. He’s a Senior Advisor to the President, per declaration.

Last week, Elon Musk appeared alongside Trump in the Oval to defend the work of DOGE. Looking directly at Musk, Trump asked; “Could you mention some of the things *your team* has found?” Tonight, the government claimed that Musk isn’t in charge of DOGE & isn’t a DOGE employee.

In Chicago, eggs are $11 In San Fran, eggs are $14 Inflation has doubled. Orange asshole renamed a body of water. He fired everyone who isn't white. Meds prices have increased. He ended health care. He cut funding for Cancer. Farmers will lose their subsidies. Are we great yet?? #fuckdjt

🚨AP: “Acting Commissioner Michelle King's departure after more than 30 years of service was initiated after King refused to provide DOGE staffers at the Social Security Administration with access to sensitive info…” Alarmed yet? www.yahoo.com/news/social-...

“The Trump administration has begun firing hundreds of employees at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), including some who maintain critical air traffic control infrastructure, despite four deadly crashes since inauguration day.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It’s nice that the Target founder’s heirs oppose canceling DEI & sidelining Black-owned products, but they don’t run the company—and Target has made its stance clear. @Target.com: There’s nothing you sell that I can’t find elsewhere. I don’t shop where I’m not welcome. You’ve already been replaced.

BREAKING: New York Governor Kathy Hochul will meet with NYC leaders on Tuesday to discuss a “path forward” that may lead to Mayor Eric Adams’ removal from office. Hochul is the sole official in the state of New York that has the power to boot Adams from his post. New York City Public…

1. He's right. It's asymmetric and has huge huge reach. 2. He's admitting Fox's role in the propaganda.
