Blatant racism and misogyny

Fresh out of prison after Trump’s pardon, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested today for assaulting a woman protesting his event.

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.

Instead of focusing on America’s national security, this man is treating America like a reality show. Firing QUALIFIED military leaders! Playing with our national security! This isn’t a game. crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

Now, a groundbreaking analysis by ProPublica shows just how dire the situation has become in Texas since the state implemented a six-week abortion ban in 2021, followed by an even more draconian, near-total ban after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade in 2022.

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Hearing Vance talk about real masculinity while parading toxic masculinity from underneath his eyeliner makes me wanna slap him in his twat mouth

Happy Friday. 🥳 You’re welcome. 🤗 “Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the far-right Proud Boys who was pardoned by President Donald Trump for his conviction related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, was arrested Friday outside the Capitol after a scuffle with a protester.”

Always stand up to a bully

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

I love how he shuts down Leavitt. Why is every single member of this regime so smug when they tossing out their bs?

Marjorie taylor greene thinks vaccines cause autism . I say lack of birth control caused an idiot in congress

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Translation: That’s a nice country you’ve got there. Would be a shame if something happened to it.

True.

The Felon47 admin is waging war on science, cutting funding for any research that mentions “climate.” Academics are raising red flags as the government withdraws grants, reflecting Felon47’s all-out assault on environmental regulations and clean energy progress. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

I haaaaate this so much

Trump's lies are imperious to fact-checking. This clip is from today.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

Trump's cabinet is like a collection of Scooby Doo villains.

Just a head’s up to you fascists MFs ~~ NOT gonna happen ✌🏼 #SheShed #WomensRights

Donald Trump is ending the national database of police misconduct

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

The balls on this guy
