A disgraceful day.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

That Oval Office debacle today solidified two things: 1. The US is not a trusted ally 2. Zelensky is a hero

RFK Jr. Vows To Make Measles Deaths So Common They Won’t Be Upsetting Anymore

The Onion‘s job is nearly impossible.

Nazi punks fuck off. apnews.com/article/ille...

The Tablet, a prominent Jewish American magazine, is publishing straight up genocide apologia:

My latest: Republicans and Musk To Americans: "Time to Die" Not every day I can use an exquisite Blade Runner quote to describe the GOP's pro-death march, but here we are, folks. Hope you can read and share. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

The destruction is the point.

BREAKING: Trump $5k stimulus checks coming out February 31st

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

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.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

I can’t get over the fact that the GOP’s base is filled with people who honest to god believe in the possibility of an antichrist and yet nothing about these guys trips their radar.

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

The incompetent engineers at SpaceX who create aircraft that explode after takeoff are going to take control of the FAA to make aviation safer. Nothing to see. Everything is fine. GIRL, TAKE GREYHOUND!!!

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

every day I understand a little more why Arya Stark kept that list

If you're advocating for racism, you're a racist. If you're advocating for eugenics, you're a racist. If you're advocating for racists to get hired or rehired by the government, you're a racist. Hope that clears things up.

Déjà vu all over again.

Oops 😬

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Recap: One side wanted statehood for Palestine. The other side didn't recognize Palestine or Palestinians. They wanted them gone. To steal their land and turn it into a riviera for their rich friends. To make the Palestinians refugees forever. Guess which side the pro-Palestine crowd voted for?
