Helpful graphic:

JFC. These monsters will monetize and profit off the very end of the world. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Yeah, he’s totally reformed. 100%.

Everything’s fine

We are firing Rangers at National Parks, scientists & aid workers that treat/prevent/research disease and feed the poor, & disabled vets helping fellow vets at VA hospitals, but the good news is we are going to buy a shit ton of crypto so Trump & his friends can make billions.

This is MAGA: no TP in the loo on public lands. Now swap “TP” for your veterans’ benefits, or your mom’s social security check, clean air, a safe car, surviving a flu epidemic, or cancer, or a tornado. All of which is deeply ironic because these red-hatted fascist mother f*ckers are all full of shit

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

Respect is earned, and only one man in that room deserves it today. (I’ll give you a hint, he’s Ukrainian.)

He either genuinely forgot or he’s pretending he forgot, but either way this attempt at gaslighting should outrage everyone.

Appreciate this email from @bittersouth.bsky.social. The poster is by Martha Rich.

CALL TO ACTION: Call your representatives at (202) 224-3121 and ask what criteria they plan to use when “vetting” their constituents.

“Let’s bring in the real secretary…” Sanders telling it like it is. www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releas...

Yeah, that’s a super smart career move for sure.

Nice. @unitedhealthcare.sa.com sends out bogus “wellness” emails even as they deny coverage for the flu vaccine. $14.4 BILLION in profits last year, I guess pushing herbal teas and denying health care is lucrative.

Undocumented workers CONTRIBUTE to Social Security without ever collecting the benefits. Fucking morons.

Frontline federal workers leading the resistance when cowardly and complacent legislators will not. #AltGov www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Exactly this...

Trump: “They’re trying to find out who’s working for the government, are we paying other people that aren’t working…” Um….like some flatulent fool who has been golfing for 30% of his job tenure? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Not in the top 5, but still important: muttered “dickhead” every time Musk’s name was uttered, encouraged both dogs to poop on the MAGA idiot’s lawn.

I'm sending my fourth weekly dispatch of how the US media *should* be covering the unprecedented coup by Musk's junta later this morning. Sign up here to get it straight to your inbox: www.doomsdayscenario.co

Why are they all still sitting there?!? Why don’t they walk out in unison when a toddler attacks a fellow governor? What kind of Stockholm Syndrome is this?

Russia started taking Ukrainian children in 2014. I know he’s a poor reader, but are you telling me it took him ELEVEN YEARS to get through a news article?!?

It’s almost like the Democrats have no principles at all….🤔

I ❤️ Sarah Nelson.

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Dear @nytimes.com: If *you yourselves* know that what Trump is saying is nonsense, put that in the headline.

Don’t forget who is to blame (hint: it’s the slimy Russian fella that the equally slimy American autocrat is fawning over).

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

Just as cowardly legislators are flying back to their districts to convince voters they aren’t obsequious toadies. #silverlining www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Those of us with Rep. reps must make calls, but so too do people with Dem. ones to urge less hand-wringing and more action. He’s done all this damage in just weeks, and you’re thinking about the friggin’ mid-terms?!? www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

Which side are you on?

Doomed to repeat itself. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

The enshittification of everything. America can’t have nice things anymore. www.sfgate.com/california-p...

If Southern states that receive the lion’s share of federal funding slash their governmental structures that receive and distribute said money, does that scratch President Musk’s itch to cut federal spending? scdailygazette.com/briefs/sc-se...

Perfect.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Man, I bet whooping cough, diphtheria, and cholera are going to have one hell of a party this evening. I just hope they remember to invite bird flu, it’s always hard to embed the new kid in town.

Simple.

I mean, he is a dick. He is also a ketamine-fueled megalomaniacal fascist-loving textbook example of the Dunning Krueger effect, but that takes a lot more time to say.

A powerful reflection on what the dismantling of USAID means from someone who used to work there. As always, powerful writing from @bittersouth.bsky.social bittersoutherner.com/feature/2025...

Oh, well, if they’re sternly calling for bipartisanship and “exploring possibilities” for action, it’ll all be okay. FFS. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Democratic leadership (“leadership”?) needs to wake the fuck up. newrepublic.com/article/1913... via @newrepublic.com

1,000,000,000% this. Lets donfet men out of women’s sports, and leta start with that pusillanimous couch potato Trump. www.powerplays.news/p/yes-we-sho...

And the teenaged fascists carrying all our personal data out the door are, of course, douche bags.
