The former Commissioner of Social Security, Martin O'Malley says that this piece by CNN is the best article so far about how Musk & his DOGE team are driving Social Security to SYSTEM COLLAPSE. 🚨They're trying to break the SSA so they can loot it! What can you do? 1/3 www.cnn.com/2025/03/08/p...

so if I have this straight, the stock market hitting record highs under Biden was thanks to Trump, but the stock market tanking thanks to Trump's policies is Biden's fault. Do'kay!

New: Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University protester detained by ICE on Saturday, has been moved to an ICE facility in Louisiana, according to ICE's detainee locator system. He is a green card holding legal permanent resident and not charged with a crime. www.404media.co/columbia-pro...

An average person who did something as incompetent as “accidentally cancelling Ebola prevention” wouldn’t be applauded, they’d be fired. And they didn’t restore it, Elon Musk was lying, the Ebola prevention work still isn’t happening.

The Republican response to public anger is not to listen to their constituents — it’s to hide from them.

If you were wondering what white supremacy looks like, it is when you deprive darker-skinned people in Afghanistan, who risked their lives to help American troops as translators, refugee status, but give it to white South Africans who only helped keep black people down with Apartheid.

Has anyone done a count of how many Trump’s appointees have been credibly accused of assaulting women? Apart from Trump himself, I mean.

WHO SHOULD READ THIS IMPORTANT STORY: * people in IL * people outside IL READ IT *NOW* IF YOU: * are interested in crime policy * are interested in immigration policy * follow economics * listen to/read Freakanomics * vote in Cook Co * breathe air, probably chicagoreader.com/news/electro...

We still are trying to sort out how much China abused a backdoor in our wiretap systems (Trump fired the team investigating it) and now we've just opened up a massive new backdoor to the entire payment system of the United States What could go wrong?

The White House is saying Canada misunderstood the tariffs as a trade war & it feels eerily similar to when men hit on women relentlessly- then act like they didn't mean it when women do not reciprocate. Huge "It was just a joke, it's not that serious" vibes. Canada did not misunderstand anything.

What a boob. 🤦‍♀️

Remember the people getting rid of sexual assault and misconduct rules for children spent a lot of time on Epstein's island. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-orders...

By announcing the China/Canada/Mexico tariffs *immediately* on the heels of the understaffed FAA disaster on the Potomac, Donald Trump is hoping to use one bad policy to distract you from the effects of another one.

Pete Buttigieg isn’t taking Trump’s shit today.

On Tuesday a US fighter jet crashed. On Wednesday a US Army helicopter crashed into a commercial jet. This is 100% on Trump and Pete Hegseth-this is what you get when the Secty of Defense is more concerned with owning libs than American lives. Trump & Hegseth should be criminally charged!

The White House has suddenly removed this page. whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

The interference in private business decisions is as anti-free market overstep by government as you can get. Pressure on business leaders was the white Citizens Council’s vote strategy. It’s all so blatant now. At least it’s hard to impossible to deny our rapid descent into the past.

If nothing else, keep in mind number 3.

Leading off this evening's Very Obvious Things talk: Climate change made LA fires far more likely, study says www.axios.com/2025/01/28/l...

Why is the federal government blowing over $800K on a huge military plane to deport just 79 immigrants to Guatemala, when a regular flight used to cost us $100K? It’s all for show! And the truth—they weren’t rapists, murderers, or criminals.

Hey elected Democrats, do you notice NOBODY IS ASKING WHAT THE SENATE PARLIAMENTARIAN THINKS??? Perhaps this is information you could use in the future.

Deleted after 20 minutes but this is the mindset. It’s what is said in private among themselves. This is how they think about the rest of the world. No one is considered an ally. There will be no discussion.

I relaunched the Trump Tyranny Tracker to document corruption, erosion of human and civil rights, and attacks on our institutions. Every day I will document attacks on our democracy and freedoms. Released one on Thurs and Friday If you haven’t checked it out please do!

More AOC, please!

Which US companies are pulling back on diversity initiatives? Target, Meta Platform, Amazon, McDonalds, Walmart, Ford, Lowe’s, Harley-Davidson, and Brown Forman, the parent company of Jack Daniel’s. apnews.com/article/dive...

This is happening to thousands of people fighting for their lives because in real life, government does a lot of good and important shit.

BREAKING: In a sign that the barrier between church and state could be further weakened, the Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a bid by Oklahoma officials to approve the nation’s first publicly funded religious charter school. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

I freaking love her!

Guys when Chris Rufo and Trump say "We're destroying DEI, we're salting the earth underneath it" and they're talking about regulations that reach back to 1965, they're not talking about corporate diversity trainings. They are talking about civil rights

Politico informs me that "Trump’s actions thus far have suggested he’s at least somewhat pro-aggressive antitrust enforcement" (they don't, actually) the press is still actively, conflating "bullying companies that don't kiss authoritarian ass" with good faith antitrust enforcement, and it's wild

The angry response to the Bishop’s sermon is telling. They can't control our capacity for empathy, it's their kryptonite. It's a bucket of water on the wicked witch.

The most powerful man in the world is melted completely down by someone just asking him to be nice to people.

Humanity is under siege. Women and girls are often hyper-targeted. Spread the word in every way to women and men to avoid the dangers ahead. Be the Underground Freight Train. Silence equals complicity. We #DoNotObeyInAdvance #EndTheWarOnWomen #SheShed

“He wasn’t giving a Nazi salute” is the new 2+2=5

The guy who sells $60 Bibles with his name on them thinks having mercy on children is bringing “church into the world of politics.”

This looks like the Omen

REPORTER: How confident are you that you can keep the ceasefire in Gaza? TRUMP: I'm not confident. That's not our war. It's their war ... Gaza is interesting. It's a phenomenal location.

Trump just removed the US from the World Health Organization while we’re seeing increased concern over bird flu. Congratulations America! You elected an absolute moron.

Evening message of strength.
