obligatory sturgeon mention content

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

This 20 seconds is pure art. It’s like the essence of Trump - the fraud, the lies, the simplistic idiocy - is reduced to its singularity. Nothing in high office, anywhere, will ever be this stupid again.

Joni Ernst, at her town hall last night. When the crowd said people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, she said: "well we all are going to die." 🫠🫠🫠🫠

Just remembering how Joe Biden forgiving some student loans was taking the power of the presidency too far.

Members of the veteran punk band UK Subs denied entry into the US for a music festival because of critical comments about Trump. Border goons are scouring social media looking for a reason to bar visitors! It'll be fun watching the US tourism biz collapse soon. Tough shit, Florida MAGA creeps.

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

No better quote from Merrick Garland summarizes why he was the wrong man for the job than this from his farewell speech. From start to finish, he brought norms to a Trump fight and democracy suffered.

"Did you consider the people who don't like chili? The people who are vegetarians? The people without tastebuds? The people who don't know how to turn on stoves? What about all those folks?"

The Mount Vernon News was family owned from 1939 until it was sold in 2020 to a “pink slime” media company with ties to conservative billionaires. Then it began publishing one-sided articles that make dubious claims about solar power. (Pub. Oct. 2024) w/ @floodlightnews.org, @towcenter.bsky.social

the solution to the threat of ceo assassinations is to put metal detectors up at the entrance to their offices, have them wear bulletproof backpacks to work, do lockdown drills every few months, and have an armed resource officer on hand to run and cower in the event of a gunman

One of my immediate thoughts about HBO not renewing Sesame Street is that we live in a moment where being kind is an inherently political act.

After years of talking to Trump supporters my view of them has become very simple: They want socialist, even sometimes progressive reforms but they want them from someone who makes those reforms feel powerful and masculine and they want to make sure the people they don't like don't benefit from them

The way I’d put it is…a not insignificant portion of the internet—and the world, I guess—defines themselves not by the things they do and love, but their opposition to others. When you take that away, they’re bereft of purpose.

(my first day at my job at the Department of Government Efficiency) apparently we're spending $30 billion on Mars? That's an easy cut

A Trump-appointed judge just struck down a Biden rule expanding overtime pay to 4 million working people. It's really surprising how little media coverage this has received. Trump faced no real questions about this issue during the campaign. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/1886...

Garland doesnt have to be great for Cavs to win, but he cant be terrible like he was tonight. #Cavs
