Multiple reports of drivers doing spontaneous sieg heil salutes at protesters today, including in one case from someone I know personally. What is being normalized is monstrous and dangerous; every day we step closer to the abyss

This is how it’s done.

As always the women are stepping up.

The @nytimes.com has become sycophantic unreliable tabloid birdcage-liner garbage. They’ve fallen to both knees and are rolling around in the dust in fealty to a traitorous dictator. What an absolute disgrace to the 1st Amendment and the Fourth Estate. (Ask me how I really feel about that rag 😑)

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

I’ve been pondering the same thing

That roster’s a little too light on sex offenders for MAGA tastes. I’m thinking Bill O’Reilly and Matt Schlapp as well.

Following the victorious Brexiteers by choking out the only parts of the country that work

MAGAts are cowardly scum. www.wfsb.com/app/2025/02/...

There is no clearer example of @kenwhite.bsky.social's Rule of Goats than these motherfuckers. I'm fairly certain they're sincere in their Nazi ideology, but even if they're just "triggering the libs" they're still goat-fucking Nazis.

History tells us of so many who fail to act, hesitate, or freeze and then pay the price. They sit back in shock or disbelief until it’s too late. They don’t rise to the moment. I have news for you. You are there right now. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Possible that partisanship will just supersede everything here, but: The recent gap between Rs’ current conditions and expectations numbers is the largest ever (for any party) So I wonder if there’s some exposure there for Trump/Rs if tangible improvement doesn’t materialize

This is really something

New York Post cover 👀

75M Americans voted for Vladimir Putin.

When the U.S. joins Canada, keep in mind: over 1,500 assault-style firearms are banned, new parents can enjoy up to 18 months of paid leave, your SIN number grants you immediate access to free healthcare, tuition costs are half of what they are in the States

A grown man throwing a temper tantrum.

The House introduced the SAVE Act, which would require your birth certificate to match your name...... Requiring married women to provide even MORE documentation, possible disenfranchising millions of women. #StopTheSAVEAct social.demcast.com/s/ZuiP8Ynl

Why research integrity is so important.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

This is what’s exhausting – the Alabama AG is joining 19 other states to defend DOGE and all these states are the ones that will suffer the most from Musk’s “chainsaw” antics. At what point do we just throw up our hands and say, fine, let them burn?

I’m not sure which child is meant here, but X’s mother Grimes has posted this online last night. She has deleted it by now. Aside from X Æ A-Xii, 4, they also share Exa Dark Sideræl, 3, and Techno Mechanicus, 2

Utter madness.

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

If the block on the Federal Register isn’t removed in the next few months, I fear a majority of labs will close within a year. This small procedural wrench has the power to kill US science indefinitely, losing an entire generation of discovery and innovation.

The South Korean Trump and the Brazilian Trump also claimed they won the elections that they lost, and also tried coups. They're both facing jail now. This is how functioning democracies deal with traitors.

In 2022, russians killed the mayor of Motyzhyn village, Olha Sukhenko, her husband and son. Before being kidnapped, she was evacuating village residents, delivering food and medicine. Their bodies were found in a mass grave after the liberation of the Kyiv region. russian occupation is not peace.

Predictably, Trump's approval numbers are falling. His mini-me is even worse. I gifted this so you can read it. wapo.st/3Qrqyd9

“.. I think it is by design,” New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin .. “They don’t want to say what his real role is because they don’t want to admit that an unelected billionaire is running the federal government right now.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

We are still all in this together.

Worse than appeasement. Appeasement is making concessions under threat, hoping that will avoid war (which is usually naive; they'll demand more). After 3 years of war and a million casualties, it's not appeasement. Trump is trying to help Russia's aggression achieve what Russia's military could not.

Good. Don’t flinch.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

Sean O’Brien needs to lose HIS job

We need to save some smoke for voters. Trump was very clear during the campaign that he planned to settle Russia's war on Ukraine quickly and on Putin's terms. 77 million people voted for him anyway, and now he's following through. American voters sold out our ally.

The idea that Ukraine is going to hold an election when the country is an active war zone and 20 percent of it is under foreign occupation is beyond ludicrous

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...

Reminder: The people who are calling President Zelenskyy “illegitimate” for not having elections during a time of war… Are the same people who have remained silent about Vladimir Putin being in power since 2000. Even after witnessing citizens being forced to vote one way, at gunpoint.

Of course.

This is how the hostile takeover of our government and armed robbery of our money is going. One month in and they're completed 1/3rd of the Project 2025 agenda. www.project2025.observer?utm_source=w...

Oh cool Trump just re-invented DARE.

Disgusting toxic trash. Trump is a real tough guy, banging out Truth Social posts from his golf cart at a guy who has fought off a murderous drug-addled barbarian horde for 3 years defending his people from Russian rapists and child kidnappers.

This was a terrific speech
