The party that constantly bloviates about “the dignity of work” is gleefully firing tens of thousands of workers.

I didn’t even realize there was another Nazi salute at CPAC aside from Bannon. Fuck all of these people.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

Any or all of Oregon’s 5 Democratic congresswomen should go to Cliff Bentz’ district. The time is ripe. www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Elon Musk Sparks Communist Revolution Since Nobody Realized the Federal Government is the Only Employer in Rural Communities

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Three things that make the U.S. the envy of the world: 1) Professionalized military with strong norm of civilian control 2) Higher education and cutting-edge scientific research 3) Ability to welcome immigrants and attract the “best and the brightest” All three are under threat.

This is… problematic

Stop mass deportations with this one simple trick: wapo.st/41apYFB (gift link)

Ontario, Oregon is just over the border from Idaho and VERY red. 🔥

Hey so they’re deporting people who legally came here to study.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

@nytimes.com kindly get your head out of the sand (substitute for a more vulgar but appropriate expression). The French Right will call it a Nazi salute, but you can’t?

Harris got 75,017,613 votes and Trump got 77,302,580 votes? Cool, that tells us absolutely nothing. If a butterfly flaps its wings in Wisconsin or someone sneezes in North Carolina those numbers reverse. Not only is it *not* a mandate, it's just meaningless. No one "lost" or "won", it's a dice roll.

The case for X being a 1A state actor now is at least colorable. It is controlled by a government official, who uses it for government business, with no real boundary in practice between the government and his private interest in it. It is little different from if a .gov website allowed comments.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh

I’m an American NY Rangers fan & I’m glad Canada won. We deserve to lose on the international stage.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

@wyden.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social - you up?

Whoa. Read this. (It’s spread over 2 posts.)

Oh.
