Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did on J6

Hi, immunologist here: surviving measles has zero health benefits.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

If you were wondering if there is a word to describe how the United States is currently being governed, why, yes, there is: kakistocracy!

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

COLLINS: You are a coequal branch of government BERNIE SANDERS: Are we?! I kinda thought so, but you'll have to explain that to the president

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Brah... Very true

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Want to know what evil is? It's having $400 billion—and being projected to earn $600 billion more over the next 4 years—and knowing that you could awaken every morning for a month and point to a country and say I will end all hunger THERE without denting your lifestyle at all and instead you do this

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

Oregon Resists! #50501Protest Hundreds gathered Wednesday at the Oregon State Capitol State Park as part of a nationwide series of protests against actions by President Donald Trump and Project 2025.

🦬 This land is your land. This government is your government. Don't let them take it without a fight.

Dems fight back. "We have a thug in charge of the United States. And if we don't wake up, we may not have a United States."

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

I’m ready to go back to 2010 tech. I just want a home phone, an MP3 player, and an outdated desktop at this point

Touch screens are boring, I miss giant buttons and dials. I want to pull a big lever to make a thing happen, I yearn to twist knobs and flip switches as steam billows from exposed brass piping.

hollywood's got a lot to answer for imo for instance getting us to believe that villains would be intelligent and interesting

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Timeline of Trump admin changes that impacted air safety leading up to the DC crash

#ClassConsciousness 101

"Trump appointed a road rules cast member to be in charge of airline safety and this is the result" that's all true and a one-sentence narrative that is completely damning to the ears of someone who isn't paying much attention to politics. Take the layup.
