We need a DAILY press conference with the Dems best messengers (AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Pete Buttigieg, Jamie Raskin, etc) breaking down exactly how Trump and Musk are destroying our country and debunking their bullshit. Stream it on every single platform. Every single day. For as long at it takes.

They’re not workaholics. They’re occupying these offices like a Bundy militia and are worried that if they leave to do normal things like sleep or eat they will be barred from re-entry.

a side note to this, the "just social media" argument should be dead and buried at this point. It's the year 2025, the internet is the primary communication network of the planet, and we are being ruled by alt-right lunatics whose entire worldview has been shaped by online right wing crap.

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them." It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

I have no idea what I would have done if this had happened while I was on my Fulbright. I was 22, had no savings, was on the other side of the world, with a visa that IIRC didn't allow local paid work. I think my credit card limit was $800. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/u...

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

The TAKE IT DOWN Act is bad and dangerous, and I'm amazed that basically no one seems to have pointed out that in his endorsement in front of Congress this week, Trump himself talked about how he would abuse it to remove content he didn't like. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/06/t...

Places like Heritage do not like policy evaluation because it often tells them what they don't want to hear: that their idea doesn't work. They see neutral experts as the enemy because they won't create fake policy analysis to support conservative policy goals. 🧵

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used transgenic (genetically modified) mice.
