spot on, Shaggy #RealMonsters #MonstersInc

Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

All for telling people their rights. He called their rights,"impediment" of an investigation. Yeah no shit, that's why they exist. To protect people from their government.

Because if you repeat a lie loud enough, and often enough, the people will believe it. And considering @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social agreed with that lie in a press conference the other day, it's no wonder the news is also repeating the lie.

I never thought that the errant simplification of language in 1984 would ever be *this* agnostic in its real life application. Truly astounding to me.

JUST IN: USAID employees say the administration is not complying with Judge NICHOLS' order to prevent the immediate dismantling of the agency. They say employees he ordered reinstated have not been and other actions cut against his order. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

Just went live to talk about what is happening, what we can do, and what to expect this week: www.instagram.com/reel/DForuR_...

I am genuinely shocked this is not getting 24/7 coverage. This is a coup by an unelected billionaire with no security clearance or official government role. This is no less a coup than Jan 6 was.

I don't know who made this, but it's a handy list for us to keep track.

Federal Judge grants restraining order against Trump's funding freeze after confusing statements from Press Sec Karoline Leavitt. Judge McConnell cites her tweet, calling the OMB memo revocation 'a distinction without a difference.' Complete incompetence from the admin.

Focus on 1 or 2 things. Go deep on those. Focus on "news" about those things first and foremost. Think about the concrete actions you can take to impact those ONE or TWO things.

BREAKING: Pete Hegseth is confirmed as Defense Secretary after VP Vance steps in and breaks the tie. Republican Senators Murkowski, Collins, and McConnell joined all Democrats in voting NO.

And the CIA is hunting 11 year olds why exactly?

i hate to be that girl but we're gonna need to really quickly move past complaining that everything is "unconstitutional" or whatever and start talking about what we are actually going to do to materially resist fascist attacks and defend marginalized communities. laws are fake. lives are real.

Anyone calling this a Nazi salute obviously can't see the difference. He's clearly not wearing any red.

It's only day 1 and I'm already beyond fed up with quite literally everyone and everything. Work towards unity, with a guy who just "enthusiastically" Sieg Heil'd? Who pals around with Germany's neo Nazi party by a different name and live streamed with just days ago? COME. ON.

He accidentally did a Nazi salute... TWICE. While talking about the future of Western civilization. He is who we think he is.

So what happens if he's guilty? The president is not immune from state lcharges like federal ones. How does a president lead a state that determined he belongs behind bars and has an obligation to jail him if he enters it? Yet another in the long list of constitutional crisis' this one man caused

’tis the lovely season in America where businesses lay off employees before years end to ensure their books look better in exchange for loss of healthcare coverage and basic income for the human beings who helped get the numbers in those books to begin with

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

The replies to Brian Thompson’s last post on LinkedIn — all from before the shooting — are a horror show

GUY WENT SO HARD; WHAT "The words "deny," "defend" and "depose" were discovered by detectives on the shell casings found at the scene where Thompson was killed, police sources told ABC News late Wednesday evening." #healthcare #unitedhealthcare #ceo

To be clear, there is not much of a difference between a US health insurance CEO and a serial killer aside from the health insurance CEO being responsible for an order of magnitude more human suffering than the average serial killer while being paid millions to do it

Fuck the media
