Absolutely

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show. But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

“Be careful. When a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health.” Albert Camus

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

Google has just removed Pride Month and Black History Month from the calendar app. This comes as they obeyed Trump by changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name to “Gulf of America.” L

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

I knew there was a reason I always loved Calvin and Hobbes!

If you oppose Trump but still watch the Super Bowl, rethink that. He’s attending, teams & sponsors have issues, some players too, and the stadium? Likely built with taxpayer money after displacing marginalized communities. Boycott it—don’t ignore the bigger picture.

Welcome to the Hunger /Handmaid Games!! Brought to you by DOGE two terrible things for the efficiency price of one. I’d like to go back to TikTok, and have a chat with everybody who said I was fear mongering when I talked about project 2025 a couple months ago.

All I want to know is what hotels he stays at when he's not working on government stuff. I mean, does the $1 billion include resort fees and local taxes?

House Republicans just blocked Democrats from trying to force Elon Musk to testify about how he’s destroying the government.

@raskin.house.gov: "Mexico said they were gonna put 10k troops on the border-- they already had 15k troops on the border! ... He just likes a lot of razzle dazzle and noise, but the leaders of the world are laughing at him. And we can recognize what a fraudulent pretense this whole thing was."

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

SENDING AMERICANS OFF TO EL SALVADORIAN PRISONS?!? Not a joke. The U.S. outsourcing incarceration to El Salvador? This is horrifying. We cannot let this happen. youtube.com/shorts/C9WYu...

Transparency? Not on Elon’s watch. Simply naming the 6 people he has embedded in our government gets you censored. Apparently, it’s a crime for Americans to know who’s pulling the strings—unless, of course, you’re the one holding them.

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

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh wait.

In the 20th century, they were known as "concentration camps." Now, they are simply called "housing." Doesn't that sound so much more humane? Voila, problem solved!

Pete Buttigieg responds to Trump’s vicious nonsense.

Better to check now & get topped up than risk it later. With Trump’s chaotic rule changes & RFK Jr’s anti-vax nonsense, access to vaccines could shrink fast. Tetanus, MMR, shingles, flu—make sure you’re covered before they make it harder. Stay ahead of the mess.

This is Utrecht in the Netherlands where Miffy is from. For me, that’s a very good reason for a visit! If you know, you know.

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify. The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips. Good job, friends.

So we're going to do this "my AI is better than yours" thing every day. OK, I'm going to say that the Channelnomics AI 2.7 SuperMaxTerriffic is better than Alibaba, DeepSeek and Meta combined. www.reuters.com/technology/a...

Meanwhile.. in #Berlin 👇

"If it feels like an insurmountable amount of garbage is being dumped on us, that's by design. It’s creating such an avalanche of disappointment that we're left feeling disheartened, disillusioned, and discouraged. He wants us to become so numb to injustice that it becomes our new normal."

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

Spending an incredible Sunday afternoon with my best friends. We shared that we are now all carrying our US Passport cards. As US citizens with ethnic skins, our reality is to self-protect our rights by being prepared. A surreal moment in time.

This is beautiful Cartagena Colombia. A city that’s rich in history, welcoming, and vibrant — with a president who just blocked Trump’s deportation plane! 💕

I also love sushi!

Went into the office today and reminded that no matter what seems to be going on in politics the show must go on.

The “free speech defenders,” ladies and gentlemen.

Escaping from reality to be here in Cassis France instead.
