Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Dear Democrats fight autocracy not young people

the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters

"MAHA does not want to save every life. MAHA wants to end the lives of those who can’t survive a world without vaccines, food safety, and hygiene, because MAHA believes that people exist on a spectrum of “weak” to “strong”" www.thegauntlet.news/p/rfk-jrs-ma...

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

ICE arrested Badar Khan Suri, a postdoctoral fellow from India at Georgetown University, on 17 March. He's been in custody in Texas ever since; big props to his academic director Nader Hashemi for personally visiting him and telling his story!

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

so, arresting judges should be more than enough reason for complete obstruction at in the house and senate. complete obstruction. anything you can do. interrupt proceedings, deny consent, holds on nominations. everything.

ICYMI: Georgetown Law students made a 853-row spreadsheet of Trump-caving firms. It drew national headlines. Recruiters noticed some talent looked elsewhere. Firms lobbied to change their designation. An organizer tells @www.AllRiseNews.com the background www.allrisenews.com/p/skadden-st...

See the problem here?

Remember those piece of shit private security guards who violently dragged a woman out of a GOP town hall in Idaho back in February? They’ve finally been charged.

Omg. This makes so much sense.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

Hey Donold, Joe Biden brought Brittney Griner home from a Russian gulag, but you can’t bring home Kilmar Abrego García? You gonna let Joe be a better dealmaker than you?

Worth noting: while Trump is attempting to destroy Head Start in next year's appropriations, they're not waiting to do it legally. They're also holding up funding right now, and centers are closing because of it.

comrad’s, remember to alwayes position yourselfe at a strategic vantage point and use the elemente of supbrise ✨

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT “Biden’s slander of pro-Palestinian activists helped splinter the Democratic coalition during the 2024 election, giving Trump a potent wedge issue.” ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CORRECT Don’t like it? Complain to your mama www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

the main thing I've never understood about politics is the misplaced loyalty. did you know that if a person you voted for does something dumb or bad, you can simply opt not to defend them? it is very easy. be mercurial, like a cat who hasn't been fed in 20 min. make these people earn your love

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

CAIN: He had his day in court. He had due process. REP. GLENN IVEY: He did not have a day in court for what the United States just did. CAIN: He's an illegal immigrant. That's a deportable crime in my book. IVEY: How about the judge's book? You're not a judge

This was a choice. Fine won by 8 pts in the district Mike Waltz won by 30 pts just 5 months ago. That the NYT frames it as “easily won” is a leading reason we are where we are. Headlines matter. Framing matters.

Tonight I surfed the web until I learned there is a tiny possum that eats nectar like a hummingbird. I can't top that. Time to sleep.

The Chinese government is his most important business partner.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

I wrote a protest song! "The Government Works for Us" (parody of "Another One Bites the Dust")

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

The problem with Dems chasing public opinion is that THE PUBLIC'S VIEW OF THINGS IS JUST MOVING IN RESPONSE TO WHAT POLITICAL FIGURES SAY AND IT'S VERY OBVIOUS IN THE DATA MY GOD

WE GOT THIS! Starts NOW - through the 14th. Don’t touch Amazon or anything Jeff Bezos owns.

ohe yea, sing it withe me now ! 🎵 TALKIN BOUT A REVOLUTIONE 🎵🎤🎶 !

guess whose back, bigger and bettre and , slightly alarme'd

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

👏 THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. USADF employees block DOGE employees from accessing the building. wapo.st/3FjdEeP

Somewhere, Jeff Bezos is angrily clicking “track shipment” to see what happened to his new editorial page.

Just an obvious point that anyone with the inside word on when these these total reversals are going to be announced is in a position to make almost limitless amounts of money. Don't forget that given the kind of people who make up this administration.

If you have anyone in your life who hasn’t wanted to fully give up the convenience of Amazon yet, but is also the sort of person who gives up things for Lent, this is a promising idea!

If you personally need to block all the alt gov accounts because you don’t have the bandwidth to sort out grifters and would rather follow only verifiable public figures, that’s totally fair! But then maybe pause before calling for everyone to auto-block all of them ominousrabbit.com/the-altgov-a...

I’m pretty sure this is what voters want from their elected officials www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

NEW: USAID's acting asst administrator, Nick Enrich, has been placed on leave after sharing a memo detailing how political appointees have "wholly prevented" staff from continuing life saving aid.

Can confirm. Former USAID here, and I’ve been approached twice in the last 30 days.

We will never be a monarchy. Know that. To quote the LOTR trilogy: Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king.

If you’re a Dem elected and you’re not mentioning the massive cuts to cancer cure and social security funding in every public appearance you’re just not doing your job.
