I love you my Canadian brothers and sisters. Thank you for showing up. You give us decent Americans hope.

Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about

The tariffs really feel like a sword of Damocles hanging over the US economy

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Here was my prediction before Bukele’s White House visit today on our substack open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

The 8 worst days EVER for the Dow — all of them under Donald Trump −2,997.10 - March 16, 2020 −2,352.60 - March 12, 2020 −2,231.07 - TODAY −2,013.76 - March 9, 2020 −1,861.82 - June 11, 2020 −1,679.39 - YESTERDAY −1,464.94 - March 11, 2020 −1,338.46 - March 18, 2020

Feckless P O S‼️

This is the saddest, scariest thing I think I’ve ever read. It’s happening. And everyone needs to wake up. It is not fair that we aren’t standing up for our trans brothers and sisters because “it doesn’t affect us.”

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Mood.

We are getting nothing back if they are allowed to take it from us.

It’s obvious, yeah? Putin has been pissed his whole adult life about the dissolution of the USSR into 15 sovereign countries and now he’s determined to make it happen here. He’s pretty close I’d say.

JFC. Somebody stop this lunatic. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/s...

OMG he is the most insufferable piece of garbage ever.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Read. Repeat. Slowly.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

Painful read, but I get it. We are now hated across the globe. Great job ‘Murca!

Whoever did this, yes. ☕️🦋✌🏽

She has “many concerns.” Again. Wake up people!

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

AMERICA HAS NO BACKBONE.....
