I know I'm not the only Jew on this website that is getting tired of y'all continuously posting sieg heil photos. We can effectively talk about how bad shit is without posting the photos. I promise you we can. Some of us still have living Holocaust survivors in our circles, ffs.

Just told a heartbreaking story of a foster parent who took in a 16 year old girl whose parents got taken away. The ice agents gave her the choice of going with her parents or going into foster care. Her parents begged her to stay for her safety. And they said goodbye to her.

TRUMP: You have a man who has let a country that had the more beautiful cities get demolished. The most beautiful domes. FOX: But that's Russia's fault, Mr President T: 1,000 year old domes. Everything is demolished. It's sorta like Gaza F: That's Putin's fault T: I get tired of listening to it

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

Are Republicans in Washington paying attention to Musk’s CPAC spectacle? The guy can barely talk. Do they realize they’ve handed their power and influence to a drug-addled billionaire man-baby? How is this not a national security risk?

I’m forcing the Senate to vote on an amendment to reverse Trump’s layoffs of thousands of critical wildland firefighters. My colleagues claim to support our first responders. Time for them to prove it.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

DOGE Claimed It Saved $8 Billion in One Contract. It Was Actually $8 Million. By Wednesday morning, DOGE had updated its list to show $8 million in savings, though it did not acknowledge the error or explain how it might affect its calculation of total money saved. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

I watched some of the negotiations of the American team with the Russians today. Rubio and Waltz seemed like naive babes in the woods dealing with the experienced and jaded Lavrov. These guys put the cards right out on the table. It was embarrassing. They seemed like kids trying to please their dad.

"Last year the Supreme Court gutted the rulings that reined in Nixon, and now Trump and Elon Musk are running the government as if they are the only law in the land. They insist they are 'saving' the country by burning down its institutions, and they bogusly claim a mandate of the people to do it."

A smart political party would be running ads about this. Would have press conferences with affected workers explaining how their work helped everyday people. Would have bought a Superbowl ad. Would never fucking shut up about what is happening.

If they can’t handle the discomfort of “I told you so,” then they definitely aren’t ready to be part of an anti-fascist coalition, so this question truly answers itself

So if Musk doesn’t run DOGE, and DOGE isn’t a real government agency, then no one has to listen to Musk or do what the DOGE bros tell them to do, right?

"As Trump has touted Musk’s cost-cutting work as vital to curbing spending abuses, one of Trump’s first moves in office last month was to fire 17 veteran agency watchdogs, whose jobs have long been to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in federal departments." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
