Someone please explain to me how we're not in a Nero-level part of ruling insanity and how we survive this.

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINATIONS NOW.

I treat undocumented and transgender people (among others!) in Baltimore. If you know anyone who could use my help, which is completely above board and legal (I'm not being coy, it is! and will stay that way!), please let me know.

Everyone seems to understand the except them. I wish someone could make it make sense.

All the white* people

There are other means of transferring power and it really might work out badly for them.

The only way I can interpret the GOP's actions is that they are 100% certain they will never face another democratic election again. They hit the shore and burned their ships.

This is actually fucking hilarious. Yes we're fine with this as long as it's not named after the actual racist traitor scumbag, but that's the Bragg the Maga people *want* the base named after. I'm not sure who this is supposed fool.

We’re already in the middle of a constitutional crisis as this administration is blatantly ignoring judges and is gearing up to challenge their authority in totality. Again. We need to be ready for collective action. Our institutions will not save us. This is heating up in a hurry.

More of this, America.

Super Bowl commercials are never actually funny but they seem like they should be funny because they are very expensive

Right. What happens then?

This makes United look so much worse. I don't think they're doing the new CEO any favors. futurism.com/neoscope/uni...

They chose to cloister themselves with RW propagandists and only them. Even fucking NPR was considered too woke and radical for this bunch. And yes he STILL doesn't seem to get it. He may never. Because it's a cult. At Jonestown they drank the literal fucking Kool aid. Are MAGA loyalists different?

Oh I know lots of Trump voters who knew shit in P25 would hurt them directly. They waved it off as if it somehow wouldn't happen. Leopards, faces, etc.

And will find ways not to blame their God king or his weasley prophet, because it's a cult.

"I don't understand how you can sign a contract and then just renege on that contract" sir, I don't know how to tell you this but.... I'm afraid I have some bad news about president deals

What's annoying is since 1980 conservatives have made steady progress in getting what they want: deregulation, concentration of wealth, weakening unions. This recent psychosis is the result of them winning too much, not too little

Y’all gotta stop making decisions about what’s right based on what Republicans will say or do. It was right to impeach Trump over January 6th even though we would never get those 10 senators. It was right to remove Trump from the ballot even if the Court rejected it. Try damnit. Try!

Rather shocked to see an article like this from corporate media, but bookmark it, Denver area folks. www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...

I’m glad that a tech magazine, a music magazine, and a teen fashion magazine have stepped up to fill the void left behind by the craven legacy media institutions.

If I tried to jump the fence onto the White House grounds I'd immediately be detained by security and likely prosecuted. But hacking into the Treasury is apparently okay.

Oohhhh... *This* is The Bad Place.

Surprising (not that his vote will matter)

They're usually pretty annoying themselves. So they're probably finding lots of kindred spirits.

Old enough to remember when a single library deciding not to carry a Dr Seuss book was a grave threat to liberty

In an effort to avoid doomscrolling, I've been enjoying lots of ragebrowsing

Pretty disappointed overall in the response of the cybersecurity community to literal nazis taking over the government. I can count maybe a dozen colleagues using their skills or even speaking out about this.

I understand this has gotten some national notoriety so here's some good news. I used live a few blocks from here.

And it begins. FBI class action lawsuit against the retaliatory purge. First Amendment Violation of Due Process Rights to Privacy www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

Shh don't tell him

The human interest angle here is that two weirdos have agreed to fuck each other.

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

If Anonymous still is or was ever a thing, seems like a good time for them to do something.

Remember which Senators vote to bring back polio

There's no way they're going to do all this and then risk it all in legitimate elections.

"Disability" is a banned keyword for National Science Foundation grants now So are so many words that simply describe who we are as people

Remember: the reward for being good at enduring abuse and exploitation is another day of enduring abuse and exploitation.
