“Survival of the fittest” is often used to justify capitalist society, but this wasn’t a phrase that Darwin used. He described it as “better designed for an immediate, local environment" and wrote of groups that survived through empathy and sharing rather than greed. We must change Or die

Slotkin: I’m not going to be dissuaded from standing up for the Constitution just because he threatens us. I’m not going to let him intimidate us out of speaking our minds.

Morning.

Bless @sophiegilbert.bsky.social @theatlantic.com: "The past decade has been a gloomy lesson in how limited a proportion of men actually see women as equal human beings...The fish rots from the head. The pig is in the Oval Office." www.theatlantic.com/culture/2025...

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.’ George Orwell, Animal Farm

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Is Piggy referring to his attempted coup on January 6th?

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

WTF is taking so long?!

Lines at food bank in north Philly doubled this week with most of the new folks needing emergency bags. Lots of sadness, heaviness, shock, sometimes desperation. We are running out of food. tRump admin and GOP cutting off food for states to buy from local producers plus SNAP delays = cruelty

Epstein survivor Haley Robson refutes Mike Johnson: "The survivors that don't want to be public are Jane Does. They've been protected and their names have been redacted the whole time ... I don't care if my name is redacted is not."

“THIS IS A SEWER… A SCAM… Congress has been enriching itself for too dadgum long.” We are highly critical of @RepTimBurchett but he & @repjayapal are right — Congress should be BANNED from trading stocks, as @unusualwhales calls out. Make your reps & senators back this.

Powerful 💪 These kids organized a walkout today, standing up against ICE. Raleigh Durham

Gavin Newsom Roasts ‘Piggy’ Trump in Flurry of AI-Generated Memes After President Lashes Out at Female Journalist Source: TheWrap share.newsbreak.com/fzk8ob01

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Fox Business credulously reports that Saudi Arabia is pushing its investment into the US "to $1 trillion." The entire size of the Saudi economy is $1 trillion. How stupid are these people and/or how stupid do they think their viewers are?

🤬

YES YES YES

HAYES: “2 female reporters asking obviously totally newsworthy Q’s — one gets called ‘PIGGY’ the other gets called ‘INSUBORDINATE’ because she didn’t bow and scrape to the Saudi King.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.

The stakes are too high to wait: we need to impeach Trump now. I’ll be speaking at the Remove the Regime rally in Washington, DC this Saturday. I hope to see you there! @flareusa.bsky.social @removalcoalition.bsky.social

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court. Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

ICE are not “arresting” or “detaining”, they are kidnapping. They are a human rights violating group by any measure. Wearing a badge is not a cheat code for doing justice.

Today we won a big victory in Texas but the fight for democracy is not over. We all need to steel ourselves for the battles ahead. We won't win them all, but we can never lose sight of what we need to do to prepare fee and fair elections.

Massie: “[Speaker Johnson is] trying to say the rich, powerful men who flew to Epstein Island are the victims now. The only way a ‘Christian man’ can stand up there and sell a lie like that is if he’s already decided in his head that protecting them is somehow okay.”

Women are watching abusive dynamics play out on the national stage and for many it feels very, very familiar to what they’ve experienced regularly— I hope midterms are a referendum

Newsom Knows Chump's The Real Freakin Pig......

Nearly all immigrants detained in Trump Chicago raid had no criminal conviction www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... The data, released on Friday and first reported by the Chicago Tribune, sharply contradicts the Trump administration’s portrayal of the immigration sweeps as an effort to fight crime..

Never forget Jamal Khashoggi and the two animals responisble and complicit for his murder and dismemberment..

"Quiet, piggy!"

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

Jamal Khashoggi. Say his name.

Charlotte reels as immigration raids bring North Carolina city to a ‘standstill’ @us.theguardian.com

Everyday violence by law enforcement who are everyday people drunk on power and fear. Remember Nuremberg trials that showed how Nazis and SS were everyday people

JUST IN: A federal judge has thrown out DOJ’s lawsuit to compel NY to aid in immigration arrests at state courthouses. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If CBP, Customs and Border Protection, is only supposed to operate within 100 miles of the U.S. border, what are they doing leading operations in Charlotte, North Carolina?

People are rising up and teaching each other how to resist and fight back, and it’s working. And yeah, we’re seeing a whole lot of stupid ICE agents stumbling around like they own the place. You cannot occupy a city and expect silence. The people who live there always answer back.

I don't know why we still call them ICE and treat them as a legitimate organization. They are an armed Militia and should be designated as a terrorist group. No other legal force in America wears masks and strips people of due process. They are a terrorist organization

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday. The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees. Here’s my advice for ICEstapo: Take a night off. Go to the movies. Watch “Nuremberg”. Your time is coming.

The DOJ investigating Dems in the Epstein files means they will refuse to release those files while an active investigation is taking place. Thus tRump’s flipping on the votes in Congress
