“What’d the horse do?” The updates, they’re not always bad. Sometimes they’re just odd. It’ll be like, “The horse used the elevator?” I didn’t know he knew how to do that.” -John Mulaney

Bunch of surrendering-ahead-of-time ass cowards in this country.

Huh wow turns out the people who wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs never cared about free speech, they just wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Pundits are focusing on Kirk’s willingness to debate people while studiously ignoring the people whose basic humanity he was willing to debate

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

If you work for the federal government and are tempted to take Musk’s “buyout” offer please know that you’re never going to see that money.

Several hundred people chanting “Donald Trump is not above the law” in Salem, OR today.

Unless they’re searching the terms: “Scott, Rick” they are not actually searching for fraud

“It’s one of those things that, if you have experienced, you don’t want anybody else to ever go through, because it’s heart wrenching and it tears families apart."

NEW: Trump's birthright citizenship EO has been blocked nationwide. Federal judge in Md. issues injunction on Trump’s birthright citizenship order (link to WaPo for those who don't want to click on WaPo archive.is/NuUlA )

Philadelphia protest, first of many, crowd is building

Green: I rise to announce that I will bring articles of impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.

1. Protests have erupted at multiple hospitals across the United States that have decided to comply with Trump's executive order banning trans care under 19. Now, a lawsuit challenges that EO. Writer Mira Lazine writes about the importance of the protests. Subscribe to support our journalism.

At the Harrisburg 50501 protest and rally - about 150 people here so far and people are still coming. There was booing a few times and I tried to figure out why — it was when Teslas drove back

I’m reminded of this scene from The Social Network a lot lately. Sorkin was too nuanced and kind in his portrayal of these loser tech bros because the reality would be a boring, unrealistic movie. complicated villains are more interesting. But this flinch scene was spot on.

Do you like hurricane and tornado warnings? Do you not want them privatized and edited by Trump's sharpie? Well, Musk is breaching NOAA, an agency that's trustworthiness is more critical than ever before: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

These freeway overpass signs need to be everywhere

TAPS THE SIGN: yes, the West Wing is a fictional show about a fake world. BUT, for people who never saw it but keep telling libs this isn’t “The West Wing”: The west wing was a tragedy about a mostly decent man accomplishing almost nothing in 8 years because republicans generally sucked (1/2)

This is probably not a surprise to people in the disability community, and I apologize for my ignorance about it, but I have been genuinely surprised how much immediate government wrath is going towards people in the disability community

people on the other site have been posting the college/intellectual accomplishments of these young DOGE-techNazis as if somehow being a clever little shit means you are immune from being a fascist

The camps have already started. It's been sixteen days.

I’m 5’3 and disabled and I’m pretty sure I could kick these weird little nerd’s asses. Good lord! Just forcibly eject them.

Mitch getting to do a soft focus interview where he laments the state of the government when he’s uniquely responsible for transforming Congress and the Supreme Court into its current form and Trump’s first and second elections

Thread 🧵 to give you hope

Please learn from the enslaved people who perfected the art of strategic malingering. How to delay. How to break tools and lose passwords. How to subvert unlawful or cruel orders with foot dragging. How to convincingly feign incompetence and ignorance. Bury them in paperwork.

They count on you being scared to break the rules! More than anything else, they are counting on your decency and respect of procedure to paralyze you from doing the right thing lest you get called to the principal's office. You have to learn to say fuck it and DO THE RIGHT THING

Washington is full of rule-following valedictorians who were inspired by the West Wing and did Model UN and moot court and studied their heroes and who believe in using government to help people. That's nice, but you need to learn how to swing on the illiterate bullies who steal lunch money.

There's no word to describe this other than "evil" www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/w...

Not very long ago there was debate if an insurance CEO’s actions qualified as murder (they do), well this is also absolutely murder. Millions of people will die as a result of this administrations cruel actions

Is getting Mexican food twice in week one of the signs of depression? Regardless, I blame Trump

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Gov. Pritzker just put out a very long statement about the plane crash in which he calls Trump "unfit to lead during moments of crisis," and says the Trump admin must be asked: "Did Elon Musk play a role in the removal the former FAA director who had bipartisan support?"

Any democrat voting for Kennedy needs to be primaried and by primaried I mean banned from the congressional healthcare plan and all vaccines

Bernie twice pointing out that these onesies “cost $26 bucks” Is the most Bernie thing that ever Bernied. I’m not criticizing, it was hysterical, just want it noted because sometimes it’s good to laugh when it feels like the world is crashing in

This is awful.

National Democratic organizers have the perfect catchy slogan right now: "Trump took it." It's the new answer to anything anyone complains about. "Trump took it. He cut everything. Trump took it." Catchy. Dullard-oriented. People who can't mentally process "policy" can process it.

DRAG THEM, SARAH!!!!!

I’ve said before, if I ever die because of a gun, I want democrats to politicize it endlessly. Same if I was afraid to show up to work! Politicize the hell out of it! Make me pathetic or tragic! Make me a talking point! Use me for stats about the higher cost of a tomato, I don’t care! Use me!

one reason democrats should cut the “we just want to work together” shit is that you lose the opportunity to do things like, for instance, hold a loud press conference on the fact that trumps ICE thugs arrested a veteran www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

"[W]hich Democrat is going to go ... to the floor, list off the tales of gore and blood and broken lives and then challenge House Republicans to defend themselves and then listen to the silence. It’s just sitting right there. The most obvious thing in the world."

I want everyone to understand that rescission of 1965 antidiscrimination orders is literally resegregation and for reporters in the room to press them accordingly also the gall of revoking the *Equal Employment Opportunity* directive. man affirmatively said 'I want unequal employment opportunities'
