Counterpoint: Limiting how US troops can be used illegally in unconstitutional wars of the president’s own choosing *IS* supporting “the troops.”

This is brutal. Fox forgot to edit all the booing at the Washington Commanders game.

Schumer had a chance to repudiate the gutter racism and Islamophobia of Cuomo's campaign and he just fucking didn't. And that is disqualifying. He should be ashamed and we the voters should make sure he feels that shame.

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

Something to think about

The idea that JD Vance—who has never been to Ukaine and chalks up his knowledge to shit he read on the internet—believes he knows more about the situation in Ukraine than the man who has led it for the past 5.5 years is a perfect encapsulation of the havoc this administration is wreaking worldwide

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

What I’ve been saying (screaming). Now there’s data.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

BREAKING: Democrats Call America and Say They’d Love to Help as They Then Say They’re Going Through a Tunnel While Imitating Static and Shortly Hang Up

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

“Forget the myths the media's created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.”

This is real courage.

Who knew Biden could have just stormed into the White House, handed a friendly billionaire the keys to all the federal buildings, fired anyone who might have voted for Trump and imposed the Green New Deal, police, gun and voting reform and Roe v. Wade by force, without barely a peep from Congress.

Why is it that of all our electeds, only AOC seems to understand how to talk about Trump and Musk right now?

The American people spoke, and they wanted Elon Musk to be able to share Americans’ personal information from government databases to whatever 19 year old gamers he’s trying to impress on Discord

de facto opposition leader 👇🏻

if you cared about morale and recruitment you would not alienate a group that disproportionately enlists into the military, but if you are a white nationalist…

Major news: Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth. It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle" I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades. Shameful.

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash. None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None. But a LOT are caused by bigots.

I’m not sure I’ve been this happy for someone when they’ve won a Slam since Murray won his first Wimbledon in 2013. Madison Keys waited forever to achieve this milestone. Eight years after losing at the US Open she gets it done, and three weeks shy of her 30th birthday. #AusOpen

The Madison Keys maiden grand slam champion draw: a nasty, bulletproof, unassailable title run.

It will save you time and mental energy if you understand that a lot of white people don’t believe anything is racism unless the person doing it is wearing a shirt that says, “I am doing this for a racism.” Plausible deniability is a social survival tool for them in a way it has never been for us.

it's like AOC is the only person who is expressing an actual emotion here

The story behind RFK Jr. in Samoa's measles crisis has never been reported. He wasn't there to spread misinformation about vaccines (though he did). He wanted to study a "natural experiment" of unvaccinated kids. “I can’t imagine anything less ethical or more cruel.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Tilda Swinton is the ONLY option.

I don't know how I feel about NICKEL BOYS getting a Best Picture nom but no cinematography. Happy for the former but I'm livid about the latter. It just doesn't make sense.

I'm still seeing so much "How dare the Oscars go on" as if canceling them would be useful or signal some seriousness of purpose and I don't have the patience to search people's feeds to see if it's right-wing or left-wing resentment. Either way, using the fires to air your contempt is embarrassing.>

Jesus Christ would have nodded in agreement at her message.

Dying in a mental asylum in 2004 because I went back in time to tell people that The Apprentice would lead to the end of medical research, the Civil Rights Act, and birthright citizenship.

The world is not letting this go. Nor should it.

This is only the beginning. What I hate is that the era of the internet troll has made it so they can easily gaslight people into thinking what we're seeing is not what we saw. Do not believe their lies. Don't allow them to rewrite reality.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Hope this helps. Maybe print and have it handy...
