Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes. That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services. This is why people are mad as hell.

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said. I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

Good for him but I am tired of learning about all the ways a 41-year-old candidate for U.S. Senate supposedly has a lot more growing and learning to do. Maybe do that before the Senate? And maybe try out a lower office before then? Or maybe we just watch him blossom into another Sinema/Fetterman.

This isn't being talked about enough: President Trump is hosting a gala at Mar-a-Lago next week for the top 297 holders of his #$TRUMP memecoin. Not only is this blatantly corrupt, it's a national security threat.

Remember this, though: Amazon has calculated that poisoning water & making restitution payouts for sickness & even death is CHEAPER than whatever they plan to make on the Data Center. They’re STILL gambling with human lives with impunity.

This is an important point to remember every time some yahoo politician who wants to defund the NSF reads the title of a grant in dumbstruck tones: "They're studying the venom of Gila monsters? What? Who's *that* for?" All of us, Gomer. It's how science actually works.

this is a microcosm of the world as conservatives want it, where “merit” means an unrestricted good ol’ boys club

the conservative obsession with children's genitals now extended to wanting to breed teenage girls tell me why democrats stopped calling these weirdos weird

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate. Taxing billionaires is not radical. What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

this being the thing that crosses the line for many rightwingers is so illustrative of how they don’t really care about anything real that actually matters. their problems are all entirely fictional

I blame Reagan for everything.

This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist

I’m glad that he’s showing what (white) American Christianity is really about. The thirst for domination and power to the point of blasphemy. They’ve been calling him the chosen one, an avatar of God, because he allows them to hate marginalized people. He can do this because they won’t abandon him.

I need everyone to understand this is eugenics in action—not just “quackery.” Much like the “anti vax” movement as a whole.

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

"Trump's not conservative" Oh no you don't. No no no no no. I can tolerate Republicans moving on from Bush and the neocons, 9/11 and all that. But you fucking own Trump from now until the end of time. He told you exactly who he was from day 1 and you voted for him 3 times. That's on YOU.

The greed is wild. Apple is worth nearly $4 trillion but can't tolerate a single store with unionized workers because they're so against workers getting what they deserve.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

This is propaganda.

we should treat these pardons as null and void as far as i am concerned www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

A woman testified in court about being raped and then stepped outside the courthouse and ICE officers without uniforms tackled her to the ground and forced her into an unmarked van. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

If you've ever wondered why this is true, it's because right-wing media has billionaire sponsors and left-wing media does not It is truly that simple

it cant be said enough that all tech smart guys and billionaires thought this guy would be great and now the world economy is fucked we're like a week from gas rationing and their guy is threatening nukes.

How many people would be alive today if SCOTUS hadn’t nullified the Fourteenth Amendment’s Disqualification Clause? How many families would be whole? How many lives would be prosperous and happy?

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

I have a dream that one day all the people will realize they are free. Hemp can save the world. Renewable energy is cheaper than oil. The super battery is real and being sold in a single motor vehicle. Room temperature super conductor is possible. Scarcity is by design, rarity raises prices.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

A Trump-Tucker conversation on the Iran War that illustrates the danger of Donald Trump living a life without consequences Trump: "It's going to be OK" Tucker: "How do you know?" Trump: "Because it always is" www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

The President just threatened genocide. The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law. Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

The media told us, based on the amount of coverage they devoted to it, that the number one military-related issue of the 2024 campaign was whether Tim Walz retiring from the National Guard after 21 years was too soon or not.

Six Supreme Court justices, the Roberts court majority, were very concerned about the risks of Donald Trump personally, and a future president hypothetically, not being able to commit crimes without consequence. It was a top priority for them, and they used their power to ensure it wouldn’t happen.

Good time to remember that rich people are okay with this in exchange for tax cuts

I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

“We were victimized by conservatism long before we were victimized by fascism. We were never fooled by the sheepskin, because the wolf was preying on us all along.” Phenomenal essay on @liberalcurrents.com by Silvaria Lysandra Zemaitis

Honestly, the great crisis of our society is the unwillingness of institutions to inflict consequences. Impeach the president, fire the sex pests, expel cheating students, excommunicate an unrepentant heretic, prosecute the war criminals. Believe in your institution enough to enforce its rules.

“I am not saying (. . .)that liberal democratic norms were never held by any right-wing figure. But I am saying that conservatism on a structural level held these norms contingently—contingent on hierarchy being viable within democratic institutional norms and frameworks.”

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.
