People should not act surprised, especially the right wing and anyone who voted for Trump. We warned them. They did not listen. And now they choose to forget. Don't let them.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

important for parents and teachers to explain to kids that the video the president made of himself dropping diarrhea on Americans is fake.

Another year without @alexshephard.bsky.social busting out his hilarious, forensic look at the Nobel Lit Prize odds. Why stop sucking now, eh, 2025?

Am I afraid of Sharia law in America? Yes. Far-right ultranationalist Christian Supreme Court guided Sharia law.

Easy boycott to observe.

There was a shooting near my house today in Grand Blanc Michigan. Nurses on strike from the nearby hospital left their strike to go help victims. Please share and also let the hospital know how much they are appreciated!

So, the news says Nevada National Guard is preparing to assist ICE. Called the governor’s office, where the person answering the phone denied it and said they’re just going to be helping with administration and paperwork. I said that is indeed working with ICE and don’t you dare BS us.

Large #ICEprotest, with little to no media coverage, in LA yesterday

Go, a college student, has a dependent visa (her mother, an Episcopal minister, is here on a religious worker visa), which doesn't expire until Dec. But when she tried to renew it early, ICE nabbed her and sent her halfway across the US to a detention center. www.wthr.com/article/news...

Listen to what @jamestalarico.bsky.social has to say About the 1% truly destroying American democracy.

Not gonna lie, boycotting @cbssports.bsky.social over the network's new ownership will take a depressingly large bite out of my football viewing, but it's gotta be done.

Some art becomes so free-style that it departs from any recognised form. It then has no connection to any conventions or rules. That is what is happening to law and policy in the United States at the moment. It no longer has any link to any constitutional tradition: it is now doing its own thing.

Lisa Murkowski?! In this dystopia? JFC, NYT, read the post-Big Ugly Bill room.

Unfortunately for Americans who want to not experience things like "bubonic plague," we also can't write NIH or NSF grants about this kind of thing anymore. I dunno, seems important

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Hi friends! I know there’s a lot going on right now, most of it bad, but a small good thing—forgive the immodesty—is that today is the publication day of my debut novel, THE NIMBUS! It’s available as a hardcover, ebook, and audiobook from a bookstore near you. Also here: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

The Republican budget bill gives a $1.1 trillion tax cut to people who earn >$500,000. And reduces Medicaid and Food Stamp benefits for the poor—overwhelmingly the working poor—by $1.1 trillion. Perfect greedy cruel Evil Geniuses symmetry. In all the richest 20% get 75% of tax cuts. Disgusting.

I don’t share this very often, but you guys deserve it.

If you can’t throw money at our campaign, at least take a look at the trailer. Sharing also costs nothing! I’m grateful to anyone willing to help us spread the word!

Anyone know how to unsubscribe from all these Pete Hegseth war-chat notifications?

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Please scream carefully as our menu has changed.

What I see when I hear people say there’s too much DEI in schools

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

A truly evil time

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

“Eight years ago, we had people in Congress that we knew had our backs. We don’t have that now. We saw the Democrats in the House, we saw our Democratic senators vote to betray the immigrant communities.” nevadacurrent.com/2025/01/22/i... via @nevadacurrent.com

Apparently treason is no longer a crime in America. The American Carnage begins.
