Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

This is the right message. What we're witnessing is a socioeconomic sickness. Megalomania brought on by severe concentration of wealth. It will destroy everything if it's not addressed

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

who could’ve predicted that confirming a white nationalist, christian extremist, drunk, sexual predator, tv host to lead our country’s armed forces would end in ruin

I don’t know why this is hard for folks to understand. The layoffs aren’t just about probationary employees. They are going beyond that. It won’t stop. It’s all about making agencies non-functional.

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

it would probably be good for blue state governors to start openly talking about their plans to protect citizens if and when Trump deploys the military domestically I have been arguing there needs to be a pro-democracy pro-Constitution govt. in exile for this reason We need a counter to the regime

The Homeland Security secretary said tonight that Trump told her to film ads that “thank me for closing the border.” DHS has budgeted up to $200 million for its anti-immigration ad campaign. w/ @swin24.bsky.social @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

One thing this little bleat from Chad “Damp Little Britches” Mizelle demonstrates is the duality of Trumpism: it’s about simultaneously being (1) a tough truth-telling masculine elbow-thrower and (2) as fragile as a porcelain goose. Bullies who can dish, but weep at the slightest pushback. Losers.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Putting a face to what you read in the news. Until last Friday, I served our nation working as a Research Ecologist with the US Geological Survey (USGS). As a federal scientist, I provided robust, defensible information to support good decisions in natural resource management.

I can understand this mistake in 2016, but we already had a whole term of Trump fuckuppery. How on earth were people still thinking he’s some business genius who’ll make government better in 2024? How?

I keep seeing people just do something they think maybe would be helpful and watching that snowball and it's just amazing. Don't wait for permission, don't wait to be invited. Pick something you think needs to happen and that you can do, and do that thing.

I always thought Wallace Shawn had the ideal career: you get to be this well-regarded highbrow playwright and art house movie maker AND you also get to be a part of millions of people‘s childhoods by being in Clueless, the Princess Bride, and Toy Story. What a life.

love when people perceive extreme wealth as some mystical leveling up you achieve when you accomplish jedi mind tricks in business and entrepreneurship when the answer is really just: be part of the system that hands shit out to people like you for free.

Okay, so I’m finally putting a thread together: what is the deep-blue Delaware legislature proposing to do and why is it the most evil thing not directly involving Donald Trump happening in America today? legis.delaware.gov/BillDetail/1...
