www.salon.com/2025/03/18/e... The Nazi « useless eaters » rears its fetid head. « While he couches language like "vampire" and "fraud" in false claims that he's talking about illegal payments, the accumulated impact of his rhetoric is to demonize elderly people as a useless burden on society. »

When art speaks for humanity…

www.vox.com/politics/403... Interesting. AI going to take jobs of college educated and turn many into redundant. Not expecting any relief for them = people die. How about minimum wage increases and attacking the winner take all Economy?

I'm not going to live in the stupid Putin-fueled Yarvinverse.

To all who support Ukraine 💙💛

Outrageous

Remember being on a plane and heard the if you don’t follow a crew order announcement referring to federal law? Like ships, each plane is considered subject to the laws of the state of the flag the plane flies under. Assuming US flagged planes, int’l airspace not an excuse for defying a ct. order.

They will take the money away anyway. Columbia should sue. That is the only way to get relief from these people.

Social Security and all the good that it does: At serious risk.

The Constitutional Crisis has officially begun. The Trump Administration defied a court order to hold a legal immigrant's deportation for 24 hours pending an appeal. She is a scientist and professor at Brown University. www.econotimes.com/Brown-Univer...

Attacking higher education is always strategic in tyranny as it dismantles free thought. Trump is investigating 50 US universities for DEI programs, especially related to programs to advance traditionally marginalized populations. Hold on funding til compliant. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

More evidence of the coup.

Sherrilyn Ifill right on. This is the old worst of the worst ad when the evidence is brought forward it is found to be BS. These people are DISAPPEARED at the request of the US.

With all that has happened this past six weeks, I really am starting to understand how Trump could run businesses into bankruptcy six times. Insane people are probably insulted by him being lumped with them.

🔥 Rep. Al Green is not new to standing up

Exactly this.

Even if they are made in Moscow?

Tadaa.

www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo... Abnormal and insane just like his redecoration in gold of the White House Oval Office. Looks like a Goldfinger lair. Just so so tacky.

journalism.columbia.edu/news/cjs-fac... Journalism School Faculty stand up at Columbia. How about the Law School faculty? Just sayin’

www.cnn.com/2025/03/16/u... Dissent not dissembling. University Administrators need to lead. Do like Bollinger did.

www.wired.com/2011/10/cia-... Judiciary does TRO on Alien Enemies Act based deportation and Executive Ignores it. This has Happened before. Remember the destruction of the torture tapes? Same old shit. Judge does not hold CIA in contempt. Judiciary blinks.

Ignoring a TRO. Coup d’état. www.axios.com/2025/03/16/t...

www.axios.com/2025/03/16/t... Look. It’s a coup. This Goebbels look alike has got his coup.

Judiciary: TRO on deporting under Alien and Sedition Act. Executive: Ignores the TRO and deports anyway. This is your captain speaking: We are now outside of the rule of law and consequently in a state of exception and a coup d’état has occurred. Not to say it did not happen earlier. And you do?

New titles for the time Trump: Asshole in chief Vance: Deputy asshole Vought: Beancounting asshole Rubio: Worldwide asshole Musk: DOGEbag asshole Bondi: Asshole of the United States Patel: J Edgar asshole Johnson: Speaking asshole Thune: Dick on a stick asshole Schumer: Nudnik asshole

Clowns to the left of me (Schumer), Jokers to the right (Trump, Musk and Vought), here I am stuck in the middle with you. Smdh.

Vance is a dick. He is mouthing extreme right American blather from the 1940’s like in Yockey’s Imperium. We have to fight back against this bullshit.

www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... The dead living.

I take this personally. My dad volunteered while imprisoned at Heart Mountain. He believed in a united front against facism. He was the only one of his squad to survive the war. The 100th was feted in deep red Texas by survivors of the Lost Battalion rescue, a heroic story now buried as “woke DEI”

From a fellow American My food assistance is cut off. No notices on any of the website message portals for my account. No correspondence to me via email or direct mail. Food assistance card number when called says it’s active but no pending deposits. My deposit date was yesterday….

www.salon.com/2025/03/16/c... More evil.

Free to bitch about Schumer and the other nine all day, but might I suggest that the real bitching be at the Republicans who are ushering in the extreme right dreck.

www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb... “We’re going to break the spirit of racism and sexism,” Bryant said. “The spirit is encroaching back into our community, back into our country and back into our corporations who are intending to take us back into the 1950s.”
