Nobody wins a trade war between allies, ya dummy. Except perhaps for uninvolved countries that gain economically while erstwhile allies hurt each other, in this case because one of them decided to be an aggressive, ideologically anti-democracy, ignorant bully.

I’ve got a fever. And the only prescription is…more freakin lawyers resigning from weak-ass law firms

Elon's a big bitch: proven again

Pam Bondi 2025: Fox appearances - 5,000 New Epstein files released - 0 New Epstein prosecutions - 0 Fraud prosecutions from DOGE - 0

“Asked whether she believes other professors might be encouraged to leave the United States, Shore wrote that she believes many of her colleagues will consider relocating due to the current political climate, which she deemed an ‘American descent into fascism.’”

Burying the needle on levels of cope

Canadian travel to the US is absolutely cratering.

Seeing a lot of genAI art used in the service of fascism lately

I'm a proud mother. Whether I'm walking my son to school or reading him a bedtime story, I do everything to make sure he grows up loved and cared for. And for the sponsor of the drag ban to say that my existence is a fetish is false & cruel. I'm glad we were able to defeat this hateful bill today.

@marcelias.bsky.social Marc, you are a legendary lawyer & warrior for democracy, thank you for all you do.

Every single politician in America, especially Republican could learn a lesson about not cravenly debasing yourself like a pathetic meek coward. (There are other terms that come to mind.)

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest? TRUMP: Well I mean, I'm just hearing about it

"Despite his desire for essentially unilateral authority, he is a spectator to his own presidency the second something goes wrong," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Trump's response to the deadly plane crash on the Potomac River.

Spot on.

Spray paint the White House.

“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics... All of this. All. Of. It.

An extraordinary reputation of Trump, Bondi & Bove— from a conservative Scalia clerk who was chosen by Trump to lead SDNY. While longer than Robert Welch’s famous, “have you no shame” response to Joe McCarthy, no less historic. If the GOP Congress had as much … 1/2 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I can't explain it - but this "Thursday afternoon massacre" and the principled stand taken by these prosecutors has made me feel the most hopeful I've felt in weeks.

Help people learn about their rights. It makes fascist scum angry.

It’s a full-on revolt: We’re up to 6 federal prosecutors — including at least two top officials at Main Justice —resigning over acting DAG Emil Bove’s politically corrupt order to drop criminal charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Professor who teaches African American studies here. If your school eliminates or bans it, I will personally host free zoom sessions, provide resources, or answer questions for students, parents/guardians, or teachers who are interested in learning or discussing African American studies.

An unnamed source near the family says that the baby also intends to resign.

I really wish all these people who want to be ruled by a king would just fuck off to a country that has one. Thailand’s pretty and has amazing food. They’ve even got lèse-majesté laws to stop people from upsetting your bootlicking souls.

This is like a bank robber getting to fire the cops and disable the alarms just before he strolls into the bank lobby.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

Here's 89 year old Ron Paul, suggested by Elon Musk for Fed Chair, suffering an apparent stroke four year ago

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Last year 19-year-old Lukas Schubert was elected to represent Montana's 8th District. Schubert has repeatedly used his X account to attack diversity as a "code word" for "anti-white" and amplify content from antisemites and white nationalists. angrywhitemen.org/2025/02/09/o...

NEW: President Trump's hiring freeze has stopped the onboarding of seasonal federal firefighters, including those who work for agencies called on to help battle the devastating L.A. fires, creating a potential shortfall ahead of the next fire season. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The authoritarians & oligarchs benefit from us blaming eachother for the massive wealthy inequality in this country. Blame the corrupt billionaires, mega corporations, and big money in politics. Not your neighbor.

I remember when right-wing media said that I wasn’t qualified to be a member of Congress because of my credit card debt. My debt was nowhere near $1.2 million. Do they think the same of RFK Jr? Or does that standard only apply to young people? We know the answer.

Oops 😬

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

There are a bunch of “that’s what they voted for” in the comments and I am once again reminding you that kids did not vote for anything. Kids cannot help having dipshit parents, and kids will be the ones suffering. I understand that excising empathy feels better but come ON, y’all.

Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social on the “fork in the road” 🇺🇸 🔥

So much evil in one photo it is actually staggering

HAPPENING NOW: members of Congress led by @maxwellfrost.bsky.social are attempting to enter the Treasury Building to demand answers re: Musk’s unconstitutional money grab
