I'm saving this.

Yep

Our response to the U.S. tariffs is to fight, protect, and to build. That means building the infrastructure to help diversify our trade partners, create good jobs, and grow our economy.

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently. I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

please don’t text me war plans, because I’m actually at capacity right now and I don’t think I can hold appropriate space for you. do you have someone else you could reach out to?

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

why is everyone picking on just Biden and Obama for not speaking out right now when literally ANYONE from EVERY prior administration should be raising the alarm about how improper all this is? Cabinet, Joint Chiefs, etc... they're all not meeting this moment.

Who knew the Canadian flag would become the flag of resistance for angry voters in the US? Angry voters raise the Canadian flag 🇨🇦 as GOP Rep. Baumgartner faces loud, disruptive town hall in Spokane, WA […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

Seriously.

The fascism we are experiencing is an EMERGENCY. It needs to be responded to with lightening speed. The courts are helping, but lightening speed is not their thing. They weren't designed for that. So we all need to do more to respond. Get angry. Get organized. Get creative. Get vocal.

America could be executing people live on TV for the crime of criticizing Trump and all of the country would still say it’s “approaching fascism” and “dangerously close to a constitutional crisis.”

Kudos Mark Carney 🇨🇦 👍👍👍 Canada issues new 5 year Canadian bonds $3.5 billion, but sold the bonds in US dollars. The bonds were 4 times oversubscribed, so there appears to be no lack of confidence in the Canadian economy. That’s just the beginning.

I’m sick to death of people saying we’re “descending” into fascism. The fascism is ALREADY here. THIS IS WHAT IF FEELS LIKE. And if you’re not feeling it, it’s probably because you’re one of the “good Germans.” @michaelharriot.bsky.social explains

Democrats you cannot scream “fire!” (fascism), do nothing and then expect people to trust you LEAD NOW

This is the law “best known for its role in Japanese internment” per the Brennan Center. It just gets worse and worse, day by day.

Send an email to a writer or leave a comment on something of theirs you've read this week that's touched you in some way or made the weight of your world a little easier to bear. It's always worth doing, and makes both of your day a little better.

I was recently floored by a line of dialogue in a children’s book—“We don’t ignore bigotry, Jack. That’s how cowardly bigots turn into brave bigots”—if you were wondering why children’s books are important, and why there has been so much concerted effort to ban them.

We've spent TRILLIONS on defense in the past 10 years, and Russia just quietly invaded us from within without firing a single shot.

'Did you even say thank you?'

A race see which happens first: hurting so many people including their own voters that there’s a massive public backlash or dismantling democratic institutions to the point they can keep power despite public discontent.

Don't use AI. Just stop. NO, not even for "good" reasons. If you don't give af about the fact it's built on stolen work (hey, mine are among the millions of works ripped off, btw), care about the devastating environmental impacts, the financial impacts. It's all bad.

Mark Hamill posting rebellious content in a battle against a dictator and his robotic sidekick is the most Star Wars shit ever.

If you ever wondered who you would be when That Time Came, this is it. This is the person.

Oh, MAGA voters. Y’all are about to reap the whirlwind.

The hardest truth about breaking into TV writing? 'Good' isn't good enough anymore. Your sample needs to be BLAZING HOT. Not 'shows promise.' Not 'solid.' The kind of script that makes people stop what they're doing and call you immediately.

This Valentine’s Day get women what they really want: their rights back

Top comment on the recent NYT story on DOGE’s young aides www.nytimes.com/shared/comme...

This has all the hallmarks of a hostile takeover. Entire departments getting axed, with little thought given to critical functions, public safety or national security. Musk did it to Twitter. It glitched often. It was survivable. Glitches to the FAA, DOJ, FBI, CIA? Less survivable. Much less.

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

see this is what happens when you pretend to be religious but don't actually know how the story ends

Remember that weird thing Trump said about Elon and the PA "vote counting computers?" Now imagine Elon has the USA federal payments system. Have a great day.

Your daughter has died serving her country, and now you have to hide her identity because the President and his supporters will predictably scapegoat her for the accident.

The road to fascism is paved with the bodies of the marginalized people who were ignored after being told they were overreacting.

I think I have finally figured out the tariffs thing. Eggs aren't going to get any cheaper but they will *seem* cheaper once everything else gets wildly more expensive.
