Not all heroes wear capes 🤣🔥

Oh my gohd--I needed that laugh. TRUTH.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Hegseth on CQ Brown: "Was it because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt — which on its face seems unfair to CQ. But since he has made the race card one of his biggest calling cards, it doesn’t really much matter."

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Malcolm Nance outlined so much of this, in-depth, YEARS ago. LAID. IT. OUT. Apparently nobody was interested. And here we are. So what now?

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

FLORIDA SPECIAL ELECTION APRIL 1, 2025 GAY VALIMONT for Congress FL01 ▪️ GayForCongress.com ▪️ @gayforcongress.bsky.social JOSH WEIL for Congress FL06 ▪️ JoshWeil.us ▪️ @joshweil.bsky.social Check your voter status, update your information, or register to vote here: ➡️ RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov/home

Just think--Kamala Harris wouldn't have been doing *ANY* of this vile, malevolent shit. She'd have been trying to IMPROVE folks' lives, our international relationships, our organizations, etc. And here we are. May you have the day you voted (or stayed home) for.

This.

I can rag on Carville on his sometimes-wrong takes with the best of them, but MY GOHD, I am SO grateful he's out here doing this as only he can. More, please.

They all look like winners. (Ewww...)

We will have to help friends and neighbors 1) make sure they have the right ID, 2) make sure they are registered to vote, and 3) get to polling places and drop boxes. Since elections are run by the states, start asking your state *now* how they will run fair elections if the USPS is compromised.

For all the USPS's faults, Americans have to realize: It's one of the best postal services in the world, even after being kneecapped by DeJoy. Fight for our postal service, guys. I know I will. It is an essential public good.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

And here it is, my Joker moment. I am insane now.

Protect this man at all costs!

I fucking hate these people.

We're a banana republic. And it happened so fast. You MAGAts and Uncommitteds will never, ever be forgiven.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

This. THIS is when folks should have been out in the streets and doing some performative, in-your-face shit.

So, when exactly does the asteroid supposed to come and wipe us out? NASA needs to find it and add booster rockets to get it here faster. I can't stomach this shit. ssnews.page.link/xcoonMU1E6cJ...

I assume this whole site is going to be angry at Hochul but I think people really underestimate the extent to which a special election in New York City right now for mayor just leads to Mayor Cuomo and that is a huge factor in her decision process (correctly).

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

My. Governor. 🙌🏽 🙌🏽 🙌🏽

Many in the U.S. are likely processing grief or dissonance, high emotions, & fatigue. These are intentional outcomes by strategic manipulators, because they increase vulnerability. It’s important to transition quickly to channel logic & action. (1/2) www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK507...

I am so incredibly proud of my governor. Thank you, @govpritzker.illinois.gov.

I 💙 signs

I haven't been fan of Ari Melber for a long time, but OMG, his piece tonight debunking DEI--it is SO worth a watch. I'm going to have to go back and watch that again myself. Very well done. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I bet Kamala Harris would have been IN HER OFFICE, in the White House, diligently working on The People's Business. But folks elected a CLOWN who golfed incessantly throughout the entirety of his first (stolen) presidency. We learn nothing.
