Trump is using campus protest as a gateway to prohibit all protest in the long run. This is a long game to dismantle First Amendment protections. I hope that's obvious to everyone.

You can literally see the stock market plunge in real-time on Fox News as Trump announces new tariffs.

Most establishment journalists have stayed on Twitter, which is owned and controlled by a right-wing fanatic who is now the acting president of the country. Here's why we have to worry about liberal bias in the media.

world historically funny how fast this turned from “ugly truck” to “nationwide object of derision and target of anger” and we are just getting started

Good morning. It's now 12:01 AM. The largest US tariff hike in a century has officially gone into effect—25% on Mexican imports, 25% on Canadian imports (except energy at 10%), & now 20% on Chinese imports. Canadian retaliation on $21B in US exports has also just gone into effect

Amidst everything, I still can't believe they didn't exempt Canadian oil. They literally built a "higher gas prices" button and pushed it. They acknowledged it was a bad idea to put tariffs on it but decided to do 10% instead of 0. They literally built a "higher gas prices" button and pushed it!

Everyone in the media needs to be taking a long ass look in the mirror and decide if they want to keep carrying this water, man

I don't really know how to shout this from the rooftops any louder: If this actually happens, it would spell the end of U.S. numerical weather prediction--the scientific models, run on supercomputers, used to create virtually all weather forecasts. www.axios.com/2025/0...

just wanna remind people that the person who snitched on luigi got none of the promised reward because of random technicalities. you have nothing to gain by being a rat.

Yup. This is how you frame it. gizmodo.com/googles-serg...

Have we really become so angry and intolerant that we can’t even let the vice president enjoy some skiing in peace the day after he signed off on the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians?

lol at least two of the five are “throw trans people under the bus” but left as subtext.

Atlanta Fed now forecasting negative GDP growth for Q1, do it again in Q2 and you got yourself a recession.

Vermont made Vance's ski weekend a nightmare. This. Do this. Any of these Republican ghouls. No peace.

“And therefore, I will _____.”

Hundreds of protesters gathered in Waitsfield on Saturday morning to protest Vice President JD Vance, who is visiting Vermont with his family for a ski trip this weekend.

Starmer to Zelenskyy: You are very very welcome here in Downing Street. As you heard from the cheers outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom.

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

The secretary of Defense has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions, sources tell Recorded Future News. https://therecord.media/hegseth-orders-cyber-command-stand-down-russia-planning

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

Hey everyone -- Moms of Liberty and Dept of Education launched a snitch line portal today to rat out teachers and anyone promoting anything DEI. FLOOD THE PORTAL Spam the hell out of it. Pass it on! It works! enddei.ed.gov

defy the norm. get even stranger. NO SURRENDER

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time. S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.* short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵 legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...

New @aoc.bsky.social letter to AG Pam Bondi about Tom Homan:

Okay... we feel like we say this every week but *a lot* of stuff happened. Let's break it down, starting with @brbarrett.bsky.social on why the DOGE takeover is worse than you think... (sorry, but you gotta read this one.)

Anti-vaccination is literally a eugenics project that is the actual stated goal it's to kill your unworthy children

I just got fired from NWS . This email is all I know. Read if you want.

The Iowa legislature just became the first in modern history to repeal a statutory civil rights law by removing protections for gender identity first passed in 2007. They have legalized discrimination against trans people in housing, healthcare, and employment. This is a campaign of eradication.

"will not withdraw as stipulated in the ceasefire" in normal people words this is "Israeli official declares that Israel will violate the ceasefire"

I swear, if one more no-avatar-having mfer replies to me saying "crashing Tesla's stock doesn't matter because President Musk is just gonna steal government contract money" I'm gonna lose it. What contracts? How do they solve Tesla's problems? You are spreading doomer bullshit with zero evidence.

Air traffic controllers are required by law to retire at 56. It is a high-stress, high-intensity job that requires intense focus. The retirement rules are there to keep us all safe. This fucking guy has no clue what's he's doing.

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country." The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

I've been screaming this for years.

For the moment, I’m going to keep reading the Post — the news pages, anyway, for the same reason I read the WSJ news pages. I will not blame anyone if they choose not to. In the meantime I will point out that NPR/PBS and your local stations only answer ultimately to the public. Support them.

Death by idiocy & ignorance is coming. Uganda has an Ebola outbreak. 12 Americans were exposed to it. Uganda tried informing the US but its staff had gone. There was no-one to answer the phone. No-one to set up border screening. No-one to liaise with WHO. Madness.

Not only that, bring a life sized version of their pussy Republican rep and let voters respond to their cut outs. Make it happen America!
