Ohio really trying here to conform to the absolute worst coastal stereotypes about Ohio

Bonkers chart from Canadian election polling.

Grievances 16-19 in Declaration of Independence 16. "For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world" 17. "For imposing taxes on us without our consent" 18. "For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Jury trial" 19. "For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences"

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process. Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

Let's see how many wealthy Paul Weiss partners have as much courage as this one associate.

Amusing ourselves to death.

Democrats built their entire party structure on polite deference, seniority, and chasing bipartisanship—as opposed to elevating the most talented and passionate politicians. ...Leaving too many pale, stale (and, frankly, male) lawmakers in prominent positions.

Very clear, very well done.This is exacthe problem.

Just a normal Tuesday at the Very White House

Columbia University sold out to fascists and brutally cracked down on kids whose only sin was opposing genocide. The fascists threw the University under the bus anyway. I feel like there's a lesson in there about complying with fascism.

Pretty spot on tbh

these people are hopeless. i hope they all get tea partied next year

If you've never been part of a government procurement process, it might be hard to understand just how much of a "go to prison" thing this would have been at any point from 1946-2024.

Thank you Cate Klepacki for your courage and your service! "My colleagues at USAID are the kind of people who run toward the fire. Around the world, in the midst of humanitarian crises, they provide lifesaving aid to those most in need." #saveforeignassistance www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Just when you think Trump's trade wars can't get stupider: We're threatening (more) lumber tariffs, this time on supposed "national security" grounds. Hope you weren't hoping to build more houses anytime soon

All you have to do is change Congress to DOGE and it completely fits the moment (although Congress certainly has spinelessly allowed it to happen). This is Dr Seuss in 1942.

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze. I worked at an organization that -helped veterans who have lost a limb -Assisted elderly and disabled people -Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

Horrific: One of the USAID programs Trump just terminated was set to deliver lifesaving treatment to hundreds of thousands of starving kids abroad. Much of it is now sitting in a Georgia warehouse. Rubio's promise to preserve urgent assistance was a lie. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1921...

We need to learn and adapt. Every single Senate Dem vote for Rubio. It got us nothing. "Rollover and play dead" got us nothing. Fight back or lose the democracy. Full stop.

Zelenky stood in front of the American government, in the seat of our democracy, and thanked our entire nation. Every farmer, teacher, engineer, nurse, and cop. Thanked us on behalf of his entire country. youtu.be/7gjwlCe5T6M?...

I've started a little t-shirt and merch outlet with political and non-political art. 100% of proceeds will be donated to groups that are fighting the Musk/Trump regime in court. More designs from additional artists will be added soon! Thanks for your support. www.teepublic.com/user/thismac...

The hypocrisy is off the charts.

People on the DC metro system this morning wearing “Fuck Musk” signs and shirts. ❤️❤️

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

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.

AFSA.org still doesn't have a bluesky, so sharing these for them. #saveUSAID @altusaid.bsky.social

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

So thrilled to be alive as Donald Trump ushers in America's Golden Shower.

Astounding that this is where we are: “If science in the US collapses, it would be very hard for people to leave the country and get work, because a significant fraction of the top scientists in the world are here, and there’s not a lot of room for the rest of the world to absorb that,” he said.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports. Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1915...

We found the real one!

Republicans, the family values party.

Trump declares himself King.

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

To paraphrase Woody Guthrie: "Some kill you with an AR15, and some with an algorithm."

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

NEW: DOJ files a notice of correction indicating that (1) it underestimated the number of USAID employees placed on leave; and (2) misstated that only future contracts were being frozen, when existing contracts were frozen as well. I suspect the judge will not be happy. www.democracydocket.com

What Musk/DOGE is doing is nothing less than a digital Kristallnacht.

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.

New term to use (not my invention): CEI. Stands for Causcian, Entitled, Inept.
