Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

Well, well, well...

The pattern of "religious" men abusing children is real and documented. It's infuriating that LGBTQ+ people bear the brunt of moral panic rhetoric while the actual harm to children is coming from the very people doing the loudest screaming about "protecting" them. #NotADragQueen

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today. You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

I don't want to alarm you, but I’m deeply concerned that two opaque industries are creating giant bubbles on the verge of bursting. Let me explain... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/beware-the-oligarchs-ai-bubble

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

The hush money payoff to Stormy Daniels cost more than house Leticia James bought for her grand niece.

Imagine that

I like it.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

JD VANCE: "My mother got the drugs that almost killed her from Mexicans." REALITY: JD's mother got the drugs that almost killed her from her hospital patients, whom she stole from.

Scott Jennings on CNN refuses to say he condemns children in Chicago being zip-tied, aggressively pulled out of their homes away from their families, detained till 3am, & traumatized this way by ICE. He should be ashamed of himself Let me help you Scott: the answer is YES

It only took 256 days to reach the “zip tying little kids at 2am on the street” stage of this administration.

If Starbucks’ baristas molested children with the regularity of Christian pastors and priests, you wouldn’t have been able to get your hands on a pumpkin spice latte in decades.

"Trump is having 'episodes of what would be called outright lunacy, if they occurred in any other setting,' and … if he 'were in virtually any other position of responsibility, action would already be under way to remove him from that role.'"

Oh, that’s a good one.

Our reps need to hear from us in mass. Call your reps Mike Johnson and John Thune demand Trump be removed from office. Don’t sit quietly. The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121 Need help use 5calls.org

America is collapsing under a fascist bootheel. So if you're a rich comic who went to Riyadh to take gobs of fascist blood money, I'm done with you. You know what you did; you know what you are; and you know how you just failed the country that gave you everything. And I haven't been a boycott guy.

Timely @TheLancet paper about #Longcovidkids, showing that risk of developing #LongCOVID effectively doubles in kids after their second infection. Now do third, fourth, nth infections… “We knew how to protect you, and we didn’t” 🤔 sound familiar? www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Easily, his most elaborate and destructive distraction from #TheEPSEIN_Files... yet.

Are we great yet?

Such a moronic man .. I have no words !

Buying votes AGAIN😡

Everything he touches … dies

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Yep …. And they are awful 😡

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.

Seeing is believing…👇 Enjoy. The. Tyranny. 😎✨

Hero!

Just sent this text to my law school classmate, who is the chairman of Sullivan & Cromwell, and is representing Donald Trump on his criminal appeal, and who I suspect helped broker the Paul Weiss deal. Brad Karp is the chairman of Paul Weiss.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Maryland has just barred DOGE from accessing Social Security, saying the group is on a "fishing expedition" that jeopardizes people's personal data. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Killing science infrastructure is dumb. I’m a biomedical researcher who lost his wife to a rare cancer. Finding cures is personal to me. Here’s my editorial in my hometown newspaper on what’s happening w NIH. www.vindy.com/opinion/edit...

Omg

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

self-vandalizing

One of the best pieces of advice I received when I started a law firm in 2021 was to focus on “the shark closest to the boat.” When you feel overwhelmed, step back and focus on the threats that pose the most immediate risk. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

This is so much illegal bullshit and, more to the point, an obvious payback to the tech billionaires who lined up like pathetic props at the inauguration. FTC chair Andrew Ferguson is exactly the unctuous toady to oligarchs l expected him to be www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

When there is uncertainty, lenders get persnickety about lending money. And yes that’s an #econsky official term

So very powerful!! The democrats need to air one ASAP here in the USA 🇺🇸
