“Adolescence” on Netflix. What a gut punch. Everyone is so good, and that kid is amazing. Thrilling storytelling.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Dismantling the federal government is wildly unpopular.

The eventual fate of the GOP

We need more of this. In Asheville NC, GOP rep Chuck Edwards facing very angry constituents. www.reddit.com/r/50501/s/0u...

"Senior described Schmidt being 'violently interrogated' at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair. She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card" www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

It took since 1887 to build up the greatest biomedical research apparatus in the world. It’ll take a few ignorant dickheads a few months to tear its heart out.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

It started out as a joke Yesterday, the US President told his military to make plans to invade, by force, Panama. He announced his plans to annex Greenland - in front of the NATO head. He said the only way out for Canada was to become part of the U.S. This is not a joke. War is coming.

WBIR: “Department of Ag cut $1 billion in spending by cutting two programs that provided funds for schools and childcare facilities to buy food from local farmers…” Not easy to hurt farmers and kids at the same time, but Trump found a way. www.wbir.com/article/news...

We may be witnessing the most unifying individual force created in human history. The world is unifying against the chainsaw broligarchy. The craven destruction is terrifying, but the unity building is beautiful and a thing to behold. Stop the Tesla Chainsaw Massacre!

Protesters from Jewish Voice For Peace occupy Trump Tower to protest the detainment of Mahmoud Khalil. (via @btnewsroom.bsky.social)

The only reason "it's about the economy, stupid" rang true is because up until now, we've been able to take democracy for granted, more or less. Now we can't. It's going to be about democracy (but Trump's economy sucks too).

I mean, now you do, yeah.

And the bus shelters here getting attention too by artist hackers. Where is americas protest art? Artists have always been on the front line of protest.

The amount of pathological lying by Trump—a pretend world where everything is getting better—is getting worse and more hysterical.

Republican congressman Keith Self introduced transgender Representative Sarah McBride as "Mr. McBride." Sarah snapped back and called him madam chair. Dem Congressman Bill Keating went off on Rep. Self and adjourned the meeting over his lack of decorum and purposeful targeting of Sarah McBride.

Dow only down 700 points. Need to get to at least 1000 to be a normal day under Trump. Low energy.

YESTERDAY: "There is no substitute for Starlink." --Elon Musk, bragging about how dependent Ukraine is on his product. TODAY: "We are shipping 40,000 units to Ukraine to replace Starlink." --Eutelsat, a French satellite company.

🚨 EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE Columbia/Barnard faculty, Jewish community leaders, immigrant advocates, and rabbis are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil from ICE custody. We will not be silent or cower in the face of American Fascism. #FreeMahmoud

When Joe Biden was president I would eat an omelette on Sunday mornings and check my retirement account. Now? Thanks to Republicans I eat dry toast and weep

the Dow has now given back all gains made since November 5

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

🚨 BREAKING Transportation Secretary clashing with Musk In a meeting Sean Duffy said, "What am I supposed to do? I have multiple plane crashes to deal with now, and your people want me to fire air traffic controllers?" www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/u...

"A woman's place is in the resistance!" Women are showing up to unite and resist tyranny across the US. This is Boston.👏🏼👏🏼 #InternationalWomensDay #UniteAndResist @womensmarch.bsky.social

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

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

REPORT: “Republicans can’t achieve their goal of slashing $2 trillion in federal spending over the next decade without cutting Medicaid, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO).” Again: @RepTimBurchett & @RepHarshbarger were lying. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Crockett: Let me ask each of the mayors… Have any of you been made aware of any immigrant that has had 34 felony convictions that has still been able to roam in your cities? I know that my Republican colleagues would never want anybody with 34 felony convictions roaming around

The problem with the egg price thing is that it’s literally a single minor inconvenience while the country’s government is collapsing into fascism, and thinking you’re going to beat back the fascists by talking about a minor inconvenience over and over just seems like bizarre delusion

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

It’s surreal that I have to go to a foreign leader to hear someone describe the full derangement and malignancy of my own president in plain language, because our own “free press” and opposition leaders won’t do it. Bravo Trudeau

Trudeau: "They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin- a lying, murderous, dictator. Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight...Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155b of American goods."

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

Crockett: We had an opportunity to have a woman lead this country and I promise you, she would have led us to the promised land. But instead we got somebody that seems like he wants to take to us hell

Trudeau: "We're probably gonna keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans: we're not booing you ... we're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us. And we're insulted ... we're gonna fight. And we're gonna win."
