The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Crazy idea, stick with me... Law, but for rich people.

Paging DOGE: I found your government waste in your Trump. Fire him.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Pete is the one for this big job -- bigger than running for Senate. 2028 presidential hopefuls need to set aside jealousy. We won't have elections unless we fight now. Trying the "easy" way or nibble around the edges is appeasement. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Here’s the thing. Every one of these people in tears heard Trump on the stump before Nov. They knew he was cruel. But they were fine with it, thinking he’d only hurt the people they didn’t like. The problem with cruelty—It spreads. You don’t get to control it. Sooner or later, it comes for you too.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

True.

Ah yes, the many problems of the educational system: 1. The dumb teachers aren't hot enough 2. Sporks 3. Not enough kids asphyxiate at snack time because of woke

FROM CNN: The FBI is preparing to disband a team of specialists charged with combating foreign threats to US elections, a source familiar tells CNN. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Both are true: 1. The “two state” solution has always been an impossibility. Why? Because Palestinians do not believe Israel has a right to exist. 2. Trump doesn’t give a damn about Israel or the Palestinians. Trump only cares about personally making money off of a bunch of condos in Gaza.

John Wick, but it’s Terry Gross seeking brutal, blood-soaked vengeance on anyone who tried to defund NPR.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

So the most powerful man in the world and the richest man in the world clumsily fired a bunch of senior air traffic staff, caused the worst domestic air disaster since 9/11, and then tried to blame black people

Hi, I’m God. You all died in 2016. And yes, this is Hell.

Can you imagine the courage it took to preach this message directly to the president? This is what a follower of Jesus looks like. (Partial transcript below.)

Anyone who says this was NOT a Nazi salute can — with all due respect — fuck off.

Whether it's Tim Walz expanding his state's school lunch program or Matt Gaetz giving cocaine and Ecstasy to underage sex workers, both sides have taken controversial approaches to feeding children.

I was worried migrating over that o had lost Daniel Craig reminding “ladies and gentleman, the weekend”

Do MTG’s and Boebert’s appointment get announced tomorrow?
