Carl Sagan when asked, "Are you a Socialist?"

Wisconsin: "An overflow crowd Wednesday night praised commissioners for taking a stance against Trump Administration demands... "Commissioners echoed the defiance of the public saying they will do all legally possible to protect the privacy of employees and residents." www.wemu.org/wemu-news/20...

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'... "Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..." www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Warning: this is very disturbing.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

I, for one, enjoyed the clean drinking water while it lasted. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

"I maintain mechs" "Cool, what's that look like?"

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Get this guy out. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/u...

My favorite sign today. In Harrisburg, PA.

So true.

My God. ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseat—and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back. How many more? THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.

NEWS: Whirlpool Corp. announces Iowa's largest layoff of 2025 in Amana manufacturing facility. Nearly 1/3 of the company’s workforce in the Iowa facility will be let go due to current market conditions.

1000% agree

I want to collect more actual stories of people being wrongly detained/deported by the DJT administration so I can more effectively speak to my elected reps. If you have articles about these cases handy, I would love it if you could share them in the comments. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/tru...

Eight straight weeks of decline. Target’s foot traffic keeps dropping after it axed its DEI program — last week it was down 5.7% vs. the same time last year. Meanwhile Costco, which kept its DEI efforts, is thriving. The message is clear: Communities notice when corporations turn their backs.

These tactics are an absolute fucking disgrace. They are not getting the negative attention they deserve, imo. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u...

Does anyone know where I can get temporary tattoos that look like the ones that ICE has recently mistaken for gang tattoos, in particular the autism awareness and mom/dad crown tattoos? I would like to wear them in a (albeit small) show of solidarity.

This is abuse. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/u...

Go!! Yes!!

Give me it. ❤️

Perhaps the manosphere bros who feel like there is no place for them in today’s world would find purpose and meaning in being drafted.

Exceo is a criminal. Punish accordingly

As citizens of liberty and democracy we owe the world better than to let these inferior fascist shitheads burn down OUR HOME. #Standandfight

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

What happens at the Bernie/AOC rallies? I haven’t been to one. Are they getting people organized or just inspired?

Take a break. Watch with the sound on. The music was from my car radio.

I wonder what Trump supporters who live in small towns would think if an unelected Silicon Valley billionaire came in and ransacked their municipal buildings and fired the local staff without even first learning what they do for the town.
