When I was 15, I was a huge supporter of Marco Rubio. I supported him in 2016. I haven't liked him for awhile now, but when I see him now, stuck perpetuating the Trump/Elon agenda, there's a little piece of me that goes, "My poor little Marco😞 He's fallen in with a bad crowd."

The irony of Google search results being impaired by their AI model, to the point that Googling things results in meaningless results, so I have to ask the Snapchat AI the same problem to get a better result. God forbid I use Bing- [I forgot other search engines existed for a sec while typing this]

Watching actual fiscal conservatives talk about current events is so cathartic. I think my new favorite "DOGE isn't accomplishing anything,"stat is that through all the damages they've caused, they've saved less than a single day of national borrowing.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

All this business I am reading about social security is nonsense. My mom died on 2/18. My dad got a letter yesterday informing him her benefits were ending and he had to repay the February payment because they don’t give a payment in the month someone dies. They know where every dollar is.

After finishing George Orwell's "1984" I can confidently say two things: Almost every usage of the phrase, "Literally '1984.'" in reference to American politics makes no sense. Secondly, it's uhhh not that great of a book... :/

It is my God-given right as an American to take a raise in MY taxes, so those making $500m+ can buy more mega-yatchs. God Bless America.

47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured. Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.” No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.

Hank Green talking about how Trump's unconstitutional acts are, again, the mark of a President lacking the character and the political strength to actually govern within the bounds of the law. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI14...

Please stop giving Elon Musk credit for inadvertently kneecapping the CIA by shutting down USAID, he's a moron who doesn't even know about that side of things and is entirely motivated by his hatred of wokeness and bitterness over apartheid ending. You absolutely do not have to hand it to him folks.

On top of all of this truly horrifying and terrifying shit we also have to suffer the indignity of saying "DOGE" every time we find out about which 22-year-old that wears a bowtie is currently deleting people from social security based on how "based their vibe is"

Watching these red states attack federal funding—apparently not realizing that most of their states are broke and would completely collapse without it—will always be hilarious to me. “Give it all back to the states!” Sit down, Cletus. Your state can’t buy sandwiches for kids.

The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country. It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws. Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism. We must stop him.

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea. In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour. Let's steal those ideas.

Trump said he wants to “clean out” Gaza and push the millions of Palestinians living there into neighboring countries. There is a name for this — ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime. This outrageous idea should be condemned by every American. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

There’s a particularly evil strain of liberal/progressivism that is rooting for things to get worse in Gaza simply so they can do an “I told you so.” At any point in time Biden could’ve actually flexed US muscle and said knock it the fuck off but he just kept adding fuel to the fire. Own it.

It's disturbing how Musk can go on a national stage and do an "awkward salute," and nothing is done about it, but worse still half the country doesn't think anything needs to be done about it.

When I applied to Medical School at Emory University, I was open about my dedication to Palestine activism, and was told it would never impact my studies. But now, the school has suspended me for that very reason. https://mondoweiss.net/2025/01/i-was-suspended-from-emory-over-my-palestine-activism…

Today, Pres. Trump gave a sweeping legal reprieve to nearly 1,600 defendants who attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, including those convicted of violent crimes & seditious conspiracy. More than 150 police officers were assaulted during that attack. Some eventually died.
