The Democratic Party has a wing of outright collaborationists. Their identity is entirely defined by presenting as in line with the “common sense” - which they believe necessitates showing nothing but disdain for their constituencies and endless deference to Trump. They deserve nothing but scorn.

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

Tbh you all should have gleened how this country feels about disabled people from the fact that anytime yall are nice to one of us it goes viral. Like that’s extra ordinary behavior.

Andrew Carnegie helped kill 2600 people in a flood and sicced Pinkerton guards on striking workers. We really don’t need to do gilded age revisionism.

Keep calling your reps. Maybe something will finally shake them out of their stupor. (Yes, I know AOC, Chris Murphy, and a few others have been speaking out, we need more.)

Schiff voted to confirm Sean Duffy as Transportation Secretary, even after Trump issued the illegal order to freeze federal funding.

20 years ago, Seoul tore down an elevated highway and built a park in its place. “The restored waterway has been a triumph.” It attracts millions of visitors, improves air quality, manages floods, cools the city, and hosts plants & wildlife. [theguardian.com]

listen, we gotta live. we have to outlast them. we have to turn their graves into trans inclusive toilets.

what rightly frustrates people, myself included, are these descriptive posts. we already know what’s going on. what are you going to *do* about it. call for hearings. call for impeachment. withhold your vote. promise complete obstruction. anything!

I like how there's not a single solitary reference in this story to the fact this is all a super dodgy money laundering and illegal donation grift keep up the great work, U.S. business journalism

Not to burst anyone's nostalgia bubble but it was always mean. Let's not kid ourselves. People were trying to drive each other off platforms since livejournal and ffn. Do not fall into the "back in my day" trap.

Dear Federal Workers: If you received an email saying that if you resign, you will get paid to do no work until September, DO NOT BELIEVE IT! It’s as much of a con as an email about you being the long lost heir to a Nigerian fortune. DO. NOT. QUIT. YOUR. GOVERNMENT. JOB. The law does not

As someone with a history degree who studied the rise of fascism the answer is yes

democrats: oh my goodness. can he DO that? democrats: (continue to let him do that) democrats: he just DID that. give us $100

The failure to reckon with transphobia as a currently central motivation of the far right will continue to plague those disturbed by its rise for a decade or more Rather than standing with trans people many liberals have pursued appeasement and helped the wider shift to the far right in the process

Google is a core component of the Gaza genocide. They directly assist the IDF and the Israeli Defense Ministry in addition to firing over 50 employees who opposed the Nimbus contract archive.is/7o9mp

Welcoming nazi imagery/jokes into your art is the same as welcoming a nazi into your bar. You are now a nazi artist. It is now a nazi bar.

Great opportunity for mass civil disobedience.

The best way to protect yourself from airborne viruses is a high quality respirator like an n95. Covid made all my hair fall out and now I have long covid. You don’t know what your magic number infection will be where you get it and never recover. Mine was 1.

They can bring back segregation by simply firing any employee who isn't a white man by calling them DEI.

AI taking over production jobs could only be a good thing if you pair it with UBI for everyone. As Karl Marx said only way for man to free himself from oppression was for him to take control of the means of production.

The fact that ppl on here think interviewing Chaya to get her on the record for an extremely critical 2500 word investigation into harm she’s caused LGBTQ youth in OK, a story that helped keep her from a further state appointment, is so telling. U are a huge part of why journalists are under attack

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

This is the reason Poilievre and his far right friends are so desperate for an immediate election here - before Canadians see what's under the mask.

We need help. Real help. Not some bullshit platitudes, or walking on eggshells worried you’ll say the wrong thing. Actual support and community.

The most powerful words you can say right now to these fascist bastards is: "No, make me." They cannot actually be everywhere and enforce their fascist policies. They rely on fear to do the job of governing for them. By refusing to comply, you make their means of compliance ineffective.

DOGE is a fake government agency designed to put a flimsy coat of paint on extraction class corruption and the brutal dismantling of corporate oversight and the social safety net any outlet that doesn't make that clear to readers moving forward doesn't deserve your money or attention

Everyone in the US is a female, got it.

The key point here is "we will not obey." We need more of that from state officials. We need refusal from everyone who the administration will rely upon to work its will in the world, from governors to teachers, social workers, doctors, and other everyday people in the streets. Refusal is essential.

this is not the government of "we just think trans rights went a little too far". On day 1, this administration has indicated that their priority is to stamp us out of existence. This will be hard for some third parties to accept as truth but they've been plainly and openly saying it for years.

We had a fun day today building gunpla

Trump unlawfully issues an executive order to withdraw the U.S. from the WHO. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... The U.S. first joined back in 1948 through a joint resolution from Congress. Presidents may not leave without the "express approval" of Congress. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

This time it’s a shitty law you oppose, but what about next time? What type of precedent is being set? The remedy for the TikTok ban is Congress, not handing a wannabe dictator even more power.

just a quick note that if you’re trying to assign blame for a law promoted, passed, and signed into law by Democrats to someone other than Democrats, you are not a savvy politics knower, you’re in denial and it’s embarrassing

So, I don’t disagree with this, but this goes to the heart of a bigger issue, which is that our electeds are not equipped to deal with rapid tech changes. We need younger electeds who can keep up, imho.

This is just another way of saying "right-wing media relentlessly highlights anecdotes about liberal overreach" without realizing that is precisely what your own column is doing.

Trump committed a series of baldly impeachable offenses, including fomenting a coup. The fact that was able to regain power is the marker of institutional failure, not the fact that the attempts to prosecute him failed.

There is an emerging conventional wisdom that resistance to Trump went too far and I am going to lose my mind. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/19/o...

Leftists who don’t care about the war on porn should look closer. Obscenity laws are the first step in banning ALL “degenerate” art. They are already saying that drag queens and trans people are sex predators. That queer books are porn. They are priming the people to lump it all together!!

IMPORTANT The US CDC has announced that, going forward, reported SARS-CoV-2 wastewater levels will be normalized to an endemic baseline "Zero" on this baseline will be levels in the previous year @evanblake17.bsky.social @benjaminmateus.bsky.social

It is difficult to fathom just how cynical this is It's a bureaucratic admission that not only do we need to live with a constant and very high amount of SARS-CoV-2 virus around us but that this constant and very high amount will represent "normal."

housing, food, education, healthcare, and utilities are already funded/built through public means and thus should be nationalized and subsidized to the everyday citizen. Every one should be able to access these things with no problem because of money or ability
