“Your voice is meaningless right now. ... I can talk over all of you” said the emcee at the GOP event as the woman objecting to Medicaid cuts was dragged out.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

Good lord even the logo looks like a Nazi salute now.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

where are all the newspaper columnists calling for the cops to violently crack down on CPAC like they do on college kids? go bust some heads and ruin some lives for these scumbags like you do for kids protesting the killing of innocents?

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, just 11 years old, “took her own life in Texas after she was tormented by classmates who threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

Trump is now claiming Zelensky started the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and godDAMN did Putin get his money's worth out of this one

It’s almost like we should use human writers, huh www.bbc.com/mediacentre/...

You don't say.

Tell your local school board to take a stand and adopt policies that keep schools safe for all students, no matter their immigration status: indivisi.org/safe-schools

I have been warning about this for months. This was so predictable, and will not be limited to OpenAI. Think for a moment about kids using these tools and all the ways this can shape their worldview over time. The harms, for kids and adults alike, are unfathomable. techcrunch.com/2025/02/16/o...

Woke up mad! So I folded the laundry, did the dishes, and added more helpful links to my gregpak.link old school directory page. Check it out!

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

They are attempting to enforce a new Lost Cause narrative. Just as the original justified Jim Crow, reshaping and constricting our public memory concerning Black contributions and the national struggle against slavery and racism paves the way for the assault on civil rights and re-segregation.

They’re doing project 2025, just like we said they would

I have a question. What is the foreign policy of the U.S. government? www.wsj.com/world/europe...

In order for New Yorkers to vote in the closed Democratic Mayoral Primary, they must be registered as Democrats (and not unaffiliated or otherwise) by TOMORROW, February 14th. You CAN do change or update online through the DMV link below with a valid ID: e-register.vote.nyc

Breaking — All probationary employees at OPM were just fired in a mass phone call. Acting Director Chuck Ezell told staffers, "I encourage you to use this as an opportunity for your next step forward," per recording I reviewed. On site staffers were given less than an hour to leave.

with the industry doing so well now, im really regretting not going into oligarchy after college

📌I was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base. 📌This is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.

Boggles my mind that FETTERMAN has said he's voting against RFK Jr. while GILLIBRAND hasn't. Please consider calling Gillibrand today about this if you have a minute, fellow New Yorkers. www.gillibrand.senate.gov/contact/

They don’t hate political messages in sports. They hate political messages from Black people who don’t share their politics. If the message was delivered by a white face in a stetson & a guitar singing about the beauty of the USA, they’d be screaming it was the best thing ever. #kendrick #halftime

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

This is a sophisticated and entirely accurate analysis. It seems like a minor thing (who cares about a boring letter?), but @joshtpm.bsky.social uses it to clearly explain the current political moment we're in. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/how-i...

Trump hopes Americans don’t realize what the CFPB does. So I wrote this piece on why CFPB exists, the billions it has saved us, & why dismantling it devastates working people. This is class warfare & we cannot afford to lose. No paywall. Please read & share: www.qasimrashid.com/p/cfpb-is-su...

Mike Pence texting JD Vance today

Congressperson John Lewis, whose ‘good trouble’ they love to quote so much, was arrested 45 times in his life. The last was in 2013 protesting for immigrants, during the Obama presidency.

"The services cited concerns that participation in the predominantly Black event could run afoul of Trump's orders and the Pentagon's intensifying push to erase diversity efforts in the military." This sure sounds like the federal government saying any events for Black people are now banned.

"What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?"

Super Bowl 2026: The NFL, smarting from JD Vance’s criticism of the 2025 halftime show, presents Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Carrie Underwood singing “Camptown Races”

USAID was investigating Starlink CFPB was the agency preventing dodgy financial maneuvers like X becoming a bank Musk is systematically (and illegally) going after the agencies that constraint his business interests

Russell Vought just told CFPB to shut down @rmac.bsky.social & @stacycowley.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/u...

THIS PART

This was the motto of the civil society movement to resist Bolsonaro’s right wing authoritarianism in Brazil. I learned it from @annagalland.bsky.social and love it. Would love to see American designers do their own interpretations.
