Hail to the thief. Stealing money from blue states, plundering our own country like it's conquered territory

ik zag deze oproep voorbij komen en dacht: die geldt ook voor kunstenaars. - óók als je naar de geschiedenis kijkt: rond de tweede wereldoorlog verhuisden veel kunstenaars van dit continent naar de vs en dat leidde daar tot een florerende kunstwereld. (met ook enorm economisch gewin - just saying)

Trump and Hegseth’s Reckless Purge of Military Leadership Endangers National Security. Common Defense calls on Congress, military leaders, and every American who cares about democracy to speak out and stand against this dangerous coup in the making.

As a veteran and a patriot I will never bend my knee to someone who fancies himself a king! We must all fight back against Trump before it is too late.

Incredible public service. @propublica.org has catalogued the DOGE crew and their links to Elon. projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

Trump’s budget cuts could kill your local weather forecast — and put you in danger. grist.org/extreme-weat... #Weather #NOAA #DOGE #Musk #Trump

Giving tax cuts to the wealthiest while gutting programs families rely on—that’s the Republican plan. Democrats just tried to pass an amendment that would prevent a tax cut for those earning more than one billion dollars. Senate Republicans blocked it.

To be fair, I’ve seen some stuff from Walz recently as well.

when/if Democrats regain power they can win a permanent majority by becoming tough on crime: scams, fraud, corporate malfeasance, etc.

“Obama thinks he’s king!” was a pretty powerful rallying cry in the Tea Party revolts of 2009-2010 and that was, you know, WITHOUT HIS WHITE HOUSE LITERALLY DEPICTING HIM AS A KING

Trump went to the South this weekend. Not to visit flood victims in Kentucky, but to have his security drive him around a race track. He doesn’t give a shit about you or your needs. He’s on a vanity tour for the next four years.

The Trump administration is using loopholes to maintain spending freezes despite court orders, with political appointees invoking legal authority to justify the pauses while distancing them from Trump’s directives.

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

DOGE's Edward "Big Balls" Coristine, previously fired from a cyber company that accused him of leaking information, is now in the CISA agency directory, agency employee confirms to me tonight. DOGE was not previously known to have been investigating CISA.

also shit like this is a reminder why flight attendant's unions have the power to collapse this country. they are critical first responders. nothing moves without them and when shit goes wrong they save so many lives.

I’m so proud (and horrified) to carry this bill

WATCH: “Musk is really good at getting government subsidies.” Since NASA bailed Elon out, SpaceX exploits workers in unsafe conditions & bullies Texas neighbors, leaving a trail of destruction. And now he’ll deregulate himself. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGRedci...

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you! 🎉 This one felt like a breakthrough for me when I painted it, still chasing that high with each new piece!

So yeah, what was that about the first amendment?

that's nice unrelated, check out how cool my state's seal is

Okay, monster climate win for MN Attorney General @keithellison.bsky.social. He is taking on Big Oil for selling lies and deception along with their product for 50 years! Thanks for tracking this news, @freshenergy.bsky.social!

Reminder: Big Balls is believed to have past ties to criminal hackers.

🚨SCOOP: Trump just took the first step to roll back the landmark 55-year-old law that allows local communities to fight back against polluters. The regulatory filing about the National Environmental Policy Act was quietly posted over the weekend.

Political liberalism has a lot of flaws but one of the cool things about it is how it's constructed around the insight that monarchy is a fundamental affront to human dignity 👍

A labor economist told KCUR's Up To Date that Kansas City does not have enough available jobs in the area to make up for all the local federal workers getting laid off by the Trump administration.

DARE is back.

AOC speaking to a thousand NYC federal workers and allies about the urgency of resisting Musk 🔥🔥🔥

One of the most insane rulings I’ve heard in an era of insane rulings

A reminder to Christians that voted for Trump: when you blank ban all strangers from this country, you lead many of the lambs of God to slaughter.

This is incredible reporting that must shock the conscience of each and every one of us.

How do you link a government official to an anonymous social media account that asserts, among other things, that "America is a White nation?" Like this. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO BE TALKING CORN! At least point out how ethanol subsidies are not going to make up for the hit MN farmers will take from the discontinuation of USAID

Amazing work by Texas Observer, a non-profit newspaper. Throw them $5 to buy a coffee if you can

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

I need abled people to understand that breaking someone's wheelchair is like breaking your legs. Both of them. They want to get away with breaking people's legs.
