Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

No money for USAID, no money for healthcare or Medicaid or rural hospitals or scientific research or schools or libraries, but billions of dollars for a corrupt strongman in Argentina.

Italy’s decision to participate in protecting the Gaza aid flotilla could be related to the massive strike there on behalf of Palestine:

Good to see some NATO member protective action for the humanitarian aid flotilla happening. Spain formally recognized Palestine as a state in 2024.

LOL. Back in the day when I voted Republican, one thing you could always count on was that the Democrats would cave. They're gonna cave this time, too. Cuz that's the role they play.

Lmao. Yes Ruwa Romman would have caused 1968 level violence if she had been allowed to speak. Such a good point.

Nope, no bipartisanship with fascists. Read the fucking room, Ange, the base is pissed and we don't want a Klobuchar 2.0.

On the National Mall this morning, a new satirical statue is up celebrating Jeffrey Epstein and Trump's "friendship" in honor of National Friendship Month.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Flores is a great replacement (hehe) for Dolan

Pritzker seems to be the only one warning about this regularly

Father Coughlin all over again, this time with no church hierarchy to reign this one in.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

It would be so nice to be this bee sometimes.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

If Dems want to pivot to "kitchen table issue" in their messaging this is the one! Say he has to come to congress for a vote on the tariffs or you don't vote for government funding bill.

hi, medical toxicologist that knows a lot about Tylenol here👋 Claiming that tylenol use in pregnancy causes autism is fearmongering here's what you need to know 🧵

The Trump administration is very weak and their agenda is incredibly unpopular. Fight back!!

Fun story this morning. I spoke with Curtis Evans, the retired Marine in the viral photo below who took part in the anti-ICE protest at Broadview. He's a thoughtful guy, well read and with a dry sense of humor. Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

She's talking about her White colleagues

You cannot understand US politics without understanding racism. It's impossible.

Dems advertising that they are capitulating to threats of violence is not an especially smart plan even on narrow selfpreservation concerns

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

9-0 SCOTUS ruling from last year: “Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors.”

C'mon Minneapolis, #DontRankFrey !!!!!

what can you do to fight this fascism? at its most basic level you can circulate good information. the right is excellent at pushing its narrative. the left sucks at it. we too often assume "everybody" has seen a story or some morsel of info already. they prob haven't. share that story, video, etc

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Oh nothing to see here…just Trump’s Chairman of the FCC using gifs to confirm that everything he’s doing was in Project 2025 that he co-wrote

Important to keep remembering and repeating that Kimmel didn't mock Charlie Kirk or celebrate his death in the monologue. He mocked the president's lack of feeling and criticized the regime.

Yes + Jeffries. The "smart" short-term play for companies right now is to collude with the regime. Congressional leaders should be making it clear how stupid and self-destructive that will be in the medium-term.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

This mf’er is a hugely unpopular lame duck and people and institutions with actual power are out here acting, for eight months straight, like he’s some goddam immortal emperor. Fuck that noise.

By the head of the Federal Communications Commission, in 2022:

A proposed mine in central Minnesota would extract nickel, vital for clean energy technology, but the industry’s history of water pollution concerns environmentalists and the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, who fear damage to natural resources like wild rice.

I'd vote for him if I lived in Minneapolis.

"This isn't who we are," says nation whose history books are a bunch of redactions

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.

It's important to realize what precipitated this was Nexstar announcing they pulled showing Kimmel on their affiliates. They're currently waiting for the FCC to loosen restrictions to enable their massive merger. This was as much pay to play by a corporation as it was censorship.

PSA: A "Major Terrorist Organization" (MTO) is not a thing. The Immigration and Nationality Act *delegates* power to the State Department to designate *FOREIGN* terrorist organizations (FTOs) based on certain criteria. It doesn't apply to domestic orgs. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Dooming is silly. You cannot know what will happen, except for this one thing: if no one fights against what's happening, then it will happen. The only thing to do is to fight against the evil you fear.

Disney learned nothing from Andor.

lol she rules

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Trump does NOT have the legal power to declare ANTIFA a "domestic terrorist group." Federal law only empowers President to designate foreign groups-not domestic. I had wanted Biden to designate MAGA a terrorist group after Jan. 6 but not possible. Still Trump will use this lie to silence critics.

Important: Gavin Newsom just announced that California, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington State released unified west coast vaccine recommendations expressly designed to counterprogram Trump/RFK's destruction of our public health system. This will gain momentum in blue states (see thread below).

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest: Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

Public pressure works!
