I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.

Reminder that today is an economic blackout. Don't buy from chains or big box stores! However! You are still encouraged to shop at local and small businesses, and you can, of course, still buy medicine, food and emergency supplies. Good explainer here: www.npr.org/2025/02/27/n...

bookmark this soundbite from Mike Lawler for when Republicans actually develop a budget and it has huge Medicaid cuts

Love to become a subservient vassal state for a dying authoritarian nation with 90% lower GDP than your own, to own the libs

These assholes will commodify absolutely anything they think they can get away with

If it looks like state sponsored media and if it sounds like state sponsored media … 🤔

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

This is so horrendously transphobic and blatantly false, and anyone who still believes this man is truly beyond saving.

If you, as an elected Democrat, have this kind of ire for constituent groups *in your corner* begging and pleading with you to put up a real fight against the billionaire oligarch and his GOP goon squad buddies currently dismantling the federal government, then you should be primaried. 🤷

Are the optics of Musk holding court in the Oval Office while Trump sits quietly in the corner of the frame supposed to persuade us that Trump is in charge

yall ever sit there and just think “why the hell was conan obrien in death stranding???”

"Press opportunities are a farce. If you try to get an autocrat to give you good answers and hold them accountable for their policies or actions, they’re going to use all the strategies they have at their disposal to not do that. Reporters are left with, 'This is what he said, but this is not true'"

God put us on this Earth to overthrow late stage capitalism

Ironically, if Democratic leadership had publicly expressed this kind of concern over the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians before the election, they would have won.

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

Good news: Wife and I took apart the dryer and after putting it back together, there’s only one extra screw!

In other news, fuck Elon Musk.

It cannot be overstated how fking concerning this is

New - Elon Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

People who call themselves Christians are angry and outraged that a Christian church leader asked the most powerful man on the planet to treat vulnerable people with decency and humanity.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Gen ai is poisoning our power grid, stealing intellectual property, using precious water, and ruining the internet with unreliable information and garbage imagery. Don't use it, and don't normalize it, even for laughs.

The system might be totally broken, the economy might not be working for many people, but this is unquestionably correct by the metrics. It's a strong economy by any measure. Put the mark here so we can keep track of how badly Trump fucks it up.

I've been told you're interested in watching Aaron Rodgers get sacked in his own end zone.

Watching football at a holiday party in CNY and man, the atmosphere in the room is hilarious.

I know that schadenfreude isn't a good quality but I'm thoroughly enjoying Aaron Rodgers' downfall.

i love that chicago has the bean. more cities should have ominous relics. let’s put a big dark hole that god can’t see down in cleveland, ohio

JK Rowling is terrible for the established reasons, but she also deserves more derision for how poorly conceived quidditch is

www.gofundme.com/f/jdugu-urge... My friends experienced a fire at their home today. Everyone is safe but their home is ruined. If you can, please help them this holiday season

All ima say is the most militarized police force in the most militarized country in the world taking THIS long to apprehend an OBVIOUS suspect is fucking SO American

This should not even be something the house gets to vote on. The public has a right to know what shady shit their elected officials are up to.

Normalize striking fear into the hearts of every billionaire.
