There are countless better ways to make a buck these days than owning a news outlet. Why be in the journalism business if you're not interested in protecting reporters' rights? Go sell phone cases or pet food or something.

Bukele’s coming for the journalists at El Faro who exposed his deal with MS-13:

Trump just said "I don't know" when he was asked on Meet the Press if he's required to uphold the Constitution.

A damn good idea. Please sign! #arpx

In 2023, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders named Christian nationalist Jason Rapert to the Arkansas State Library Board, The board thwarted Rapert's efforts to enact his right-wing agenda, so the state legislature removed them from office, to be replaced by Gov. Sanders. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Jail them all.

"It's only papers"<--you are here "It's only patches" "It's only tattoos" "It's only a bullet"

This is UNREAL!!!! Once again, I found myself fact-checking something because it seemed too ludicrous to be true. Sadly, it is. And to think that these are the people my fellow Christians think should be in power. 💔 bsky.app/profile/thet...

AR-02 has the third most cuts of any congressional district in the country. French Hill's silence about this is spineless even for a perpetual jellyfish like him.

Your local librarians almost certainly care more about you than your legislators, with few exceptions. Do what you can to support them. #arleg #arpx

Correction: they *tried* to roast you, but I fear you told the truth and it seems that the truth hurts. Is there a song about that or something? Librarians are dedicated to their patrons, despite well-funded efforts to falsely discredit them. Get your library cards and use them, y'all.

Evil. Pure, absolute, unmitigated evil. We are living in a fascist dictatorship.

so, stephanie turner—the fencer who took a knee & went on a media tour about it—cost a trans girl the chance to participate in society & did it for $5,000 cash, in addition to, i assume, paid speaking gigs with folks like riley gaines. this is grifting. turner is a grifter. also a garbage person.

I grew up listening to my grandparents' and great-grandparents' stories about living through the Great Depression. I did not ever consider that I might have to put their wisdom into practice in my own life. But here we go.

this is absolutely true and we are not prepared for it the boardgame industry is capital-f Fucked, as one example - there simply are not any alternative manufacturers many folks can shift to in order to stop going under and that sort of thing doesn't come back easily even if the tariffs go down

In case you missed it, Trump also signed an executive order today directing the AG to go after state and local climate policies. Potentially bigger deal than coal order, imo… www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

Trump defenders are trying to spin the tariffs as an attempt to bring the middle-class economy back to the heyday of the 1960s. But Trump himself keeps saying his plan will return America back to the 1890s. “Don't think GM—think Triangle Shirtwaist Factory,” says Hayes.

And in the end, they even sacrificed their claim to “state’s rights” for which they enslaved, seceded, fought, segregated, assaulted and murdered, and in the name of which they degraded themselves, their families and their region.

Three Senate Democrats may vote for Queen Sarah’s corrupt billion-dollar prison boondoggle. No good reason why. Except more sleazy politics. Shane on them. Plan can’t pass without them.

Half of America has a chronic illness. I am one of those people. This is an active and immediate attack on our very lives, as if our medications weren’t expensive enough.

Seeing as how I spend half my day taking pills, this is swell fucking news. Enjoy selling your plasma for prozac! www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

TRANSLATION: Fuck you and fuck your future. Oil, gas, and coal billionaires can poison your water and drive us towards climate apocalypse, and become unimaginably rich. The men who paid to elect Trump can do whatever they want, and everyday people can eat shit.

We are living in a theocratic, fascist dictatorship.

This is absolutely Orwellian doublespeak... "The webpage also changed the phrase 'enslaved African Americans' to 'enslaved workers.”

“Fetterman’s either fighting for our rights, or he’s not. And if he’s not, then we need to push back.” interc.pt/4iXuQFF

🎪 🤦🏻‍♂️ SUPERCUT: Trump’s Cabinet (of very rich people) flails on the Sunday Shows as they try to defend Trump tanking the economy with tariffs — except for Russia Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DIHIVnX...

soooo this is going to be a post that makes absolutely everyone unhappy: black bloc is a part of diversity of tactics handknit pussy hats are part of a diversity of tactics voting is a part of diversity of tactics

From the same techbros who: *Watched Star Wars and wanted to be the Empire *Read Tolkien and admired Sauron *Read Iain M. Banks and decided to build a network of fascist dictatorships

History speaks. Europe’s lessons from a century ago can wake up and inspire our democracy…in 2025 America. Stream my hour-long special “Rick Steves’ The Story of Fascism in Europe” at www.ricksteves.com/fascism.

MAGA man threatens Hands Off protesters in Indiana with assault rifle—police just let him go. Trump supporter mad about stopped traffic got out of truck, put on Trump shirt, got an assault rifle from his vehicle, and then headed toward the crowd. Do you recognize the man in the gray sweatshirt?

@npr.org you up?

This!

I want to leave space for people to repent and reform and realize they were wrong. But I think Erez Reuveni knew he was doing the wrong thing, on the wrong side, breaking his oath to the constitution going into this argument. /1

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

If our democracy dies, this is its epitaph

We are living in a fascist dictatorship.

I have friends who are not bring cell phones to rallies this weekend. My response was that if they come for me (white, relatively wealthy, suburban woman with a “professional” career) than we have already lost. Get out in the streets on Saturday - before you are scared to be in the streets.

1. In a proclamation issued yesterday, Trump declared allowing transgender youth to transition "child abuse." He then called for swift punishment of "abuse," with transgender care being his main example. This is the latest escalation in attacks on trans youth. Subscribe to support my journalism.

A Texas court has entered an outrageous prior restraint against a book author that should concern journalists everywhere and anyone who cares about the First Amendment.

Why would we believe jobs numbers from this administration?

Alienate our allies Crash the market Devalue the dollar Spike prices Dismantle the federal government Cause immigrants to live in fear Make others not want to come here If you made a blueprint for how to hurt 🇺🇸, it would look a lot like this Putin is enjoying the show

Remembering Val Kilmer in Real Genius (1985). Somehow laser science got an astonishingly accurate pop culture movie. It didn’t have to accurately depict building and troubleshooting excimer lasers and yet somehow it did.

A confession a long time in coming. Now we need the rest of the party to admit to this and change course. We need a fighting opposition party in the US.

Pro tip for people who speak English.

“Senate Republicans plan to bypass parliamentarian on Trump tax cuts” I hate to say I told you so but… I told you so. Where are ⁦‪⁦‪Manchin and Sinema now? Where, for that matter, is ⁦‪Chuck Schumer‬⁩? Predictable and predicted:

Cory Booker is STILL going. This is what resisting fascism looks like. I don’t care if it’s not a “real” filibuster. Booker is taking drastic action to show his constituents that they are not alone. More of this, please.
