1. The Trump administration claims that a program to protect rural Alabamans from raw sewage is racist so it is canceling the program as part of its crackdown on "DEI" According to a press release, this is about treating "every individual with dignity and respect." 🤔

Keep it going!

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

Excellent points

Sanders: We’ve got a president of the United States who— Crowd: Boooo Sanders: I agree

My dear friend @deniseoliver-velez.bsky.social writes a weekly column about Black music that is always worth the time!

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

Finally

Remember the big presser where Pam Bondi announced charges against a prominent MS-13 leader? They appear to be dropping the case and seeking a quick deportation instead. In a bizarre twist, the defendant is asking the court NOT to dismiss the charges 1/X storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The White House. The actual White House. This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

ICE: "We must punish immigrants for NOT paying taxes!" IRS: "But they do pay taxes." ICE: "Well, then help us punish them for PAYING taxes!"

"Who could have predicted this?" say the people who spent the past year dismissing or mocking those who predicted this.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Are you surprised? I am not surprised. Those people stay lying.

Never fails

Take note law firms and universities.

Whytpeople paid a reward for breaking the law. Only in America.

Especially since money is changing hands

We're not that far off from this..

When the country elected an autocratic leader in a world increasingly lead by autocrats

You know it's coming...

I cannot even begin to fathom how tired Black people must be because I am really tired of white people and Im white.

This is a sad state of affairs.

The worst catastrophes of history are caused by men who are malevolent, ignorant, and have exceptional wills.

Last time he told you not "not to worry" half a million Americans died of Covid.

. In less than a week, the S&P and Dow Jones each lost over 12 PERCENT of their value. Who made money? Follow that. Presidents USED to divest, put their money in blind trusts, to avoid even the APPEARANCE of impropriety (let alone corruption). We know THIS asshole doesn't give a shit about that.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

The penguins will greet us as liberators.

I’d say the markets will be a roller coaster today but roller coasters go up.

The Genesis of our current national nightmare.

The Regime continues its descent into fascism. The DOJ lawyer who was sent to defend The Regime’s illegal actions in deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia could not do so, because “Plaintiff Abrego Garcia should not have been removed”. That DOJ attorney was just placed on administrative leave.

Republican Senators just voted to destroy the American economy, the stock market, American businesses, and American family budgets. They voted to explode the deficit, cause a worldwide trade war against us & create a global economic depression. Both parties are not alike!

This!

My father was first a breadmaker (for Tastee Bakery in NY) then a housepainter. Physical labor is brutal - and I have been blessed to have been spared from it.

#HandsOff #Resist Together we can do impossible things against impossible odds.

JUST NOW at the @SenWarren town hall in NASHVILLE: “How can kids help things get better?” ❤️ @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty wont do town halls because they can’t face these tough questions. So Senator Warren is.

I kind of want to go

We are so grateful to our friends at Munger, Tolles & Olson for their herculean efforts getting the law firms amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie filed today. To the more than 500 law firms that signed on, thank you for defending the rule of law. www.mto.com/wp-content/u...

The White House admits they sent an innocent father of three to the prison in El Salvador but they are still fighting to make sure he doesn’t come home. The definition of evil.

George HW Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Clinton (D) got us out. George W Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Obama (D) got us out. Trump (R) got us mired in a recession. Biden (D) got us out. Trump (R) is yet again ushering us into a recession. Starting to notice a trend?

I do not believe in mistakes of this type, where the administration of the Orange Cheeto is concerned. They did this on purpose. Assholes.
