shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Why the fuck is ICE buying guided missiles, chemical weapons, and artillery? What are they planning to do with it, exactly? We're not nearly freaking out enough! www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

They want immunity to be cruel

I keep bringing up Katrina because I need yall to understand that Katrina was the beginning of a new normal most of yall not comfortable with acknowledging.

A reminder that the 2017 modification of the White House fence required review and approval by the NCPC. The construction of a 1.5-football-field (!) sized ballroom was not reviewed by the commission (WHY NOT?). let alone taking a bulldozer to the East Wing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation. But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

You can just share my video from me instead of sharing a screen recording of my video from a content farm account that isn’t on the scene btw.

Trump was caught on a hot mic arranging a meeting between a foreign head of state and Eric Trump, who runs the Republican's family business. Isn’t this exactly the sort of thing GOP members of Congress used to care about? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it. But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Not to be THAT dictionary, but… It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’ It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’ It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’ It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’ It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Chicago is joining forces with eight other cities in challenging President Donald Trump’s decision to use tens of millions of dollars in federal anti-terrorism and public safety grants as leverage in his battle against what he calls “wokeness.” trib.al/tb2Kdk0

Border Patrol returned to the O'Hare rideshare lot today after taking 11 people on Saturday 10/18. No official word yet on how many were detained. When we visited yesterday, drivers told us it was very empty for a Sunday. Last Friday 10/10, they took 18 people here (it's city-owned property).

“We are going to make them pay their fair share in taxes to fund our school, to fund jobs, to fund healthcare, to fund transportation.”

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California. Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

The fun thing about sharing silent films online is that people, who have access to movies with the fanciest CGI and the latest camera tech, will ooo and ah about a comparatively simple tracking shot from 1913. There's so much magic in old movies.

aside from the fact that SOME THINGS ARE OKAY TO BE SECRETS I'm more upset at the capitalist tech nonsense at work here. like you can take pictures of your shit with your phone for free if you want to. nobody's been stopping you man

Yikes — WP reports Rubio turned over gang informants to El Salvador to get that deal to let Trump send immigrants to their hard labor prison without due process. A lawless regime. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

In 1967, we represented legendary drag queen Sir Lady Java when the LAPD threatened to arrest the owner of the club where she danced. This case was just one small part of her lifelong advocacy of queer expression. We carry her legacy with us today as we defend our communities in joy and style.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

1. Yesterday, millions showed up to the No Kings Rally. Perhaps no one Rally was as full of subtext as Boston's, however. Senator Markey showed up wearing a trans pride flag. His challenger, anti-trans Dem Rep. Seth Moulton showed up to boos and jeers. Subscribe to support our journalism.

it's crazy that this guy can just refuse to do his job and there's apparently nothing anyone can do about it

Real time data coming out of the world’s climate measurement systems should be stopping us in our tracks. The latest estimate shows that, this week, the Earth is 1.9°C warmer than before we began burning fossil fuels. #climatecrisis #ClimateEmergency #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/we-re-t...

1.5C is dead. And so-called ‘centrist’ politicians would rather we slide into fascism & authoritarianism than rebuild our world to give us a chance of surviving where we’re heading - because survival would mean dismantling the corporations that own these ‘centrist’ politicians.

Chuck Dixon created Bane. I don't bring this up to argue that creating that character somehow negates his current behavior, but to talk about a problem very prevalent in comics. And that is bigoted people making bank off the very marginalized groups they later demonize and discredit.

Surprised Bari let them air this. I guess maybe because it doesn’t matter to SCOTUS?

A court ruled in our favor and upheld New York's commonsense gun law requiring background checks on ammunition sales. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their community. My office will continue to defend our laws and keep New Yorkers safe.

sounds like we should maybe make a list of people who hung out with RFK jr ever and prosecute them

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.” The cuts: 📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage) 📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage) 📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage) 📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

I had to read this headline five times and I still can’t figure out the logic of this insane apartheid genocidal gaslighting country.

Idc, "4 people disguised as construction workers heisted the Napoleon family jewels from the Louvre in 7 minutes by rolling up to the second-storey window on a basket lift" is an objectively hilarious event

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

Reminder that the US under both R and D administrations sent billions of dollars in weapons to Saudi Arabia, including illegal cluster munitions, to kill Yemeni kids. And the US, under both R and D administrations, is still sending billions of dollars in weapons for the UAE to do genocide in Sudan

To everyone claiming there were no arrests at the "No Kings" rallies yesterday, this is simply not true. No, a Trump supporter was arrested for trying to use a gun against people exercising their First Amendment rights. He was arrested and his tacky Jeep with Trump flags was towed.

The genocide continues.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...
