Seems like the relevance of this Reagan-era Herblock cartoon has risen by 200%. Washington Post, 12/22/1988.

Never forget that House Republicans voted to give the richest 1%, a huge tax break at the expense of the rest of us. Want to know how this could impact the people in your Congressional district? Go here: 1/2

Imagine being too far-right and Nazi-like for the French far-right: "French far-right leader cancels US speech after ex Trump aide Bannon appeared to make 'Nazi gesture'"

The fact we have become this stupid and cruel and awful of a country in real time Would be a god damn satire worthy of VOLTAIRE If it wasn’t completely in earnest and absolutely triggering

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Oh hell no.

One of many practice runs for Tulsa.

how is the richest man in the world stealing from the poorest among us and no one in the purported party of the people can message this as a national emergency. christ.

Let's see how long this line holds up

President Musk and some other guy in the Oval Office this afternoon.

There is nothing that @wired.com cannot scoop right now

Trump is WRONG on USAID. Let me know if you agree. 💙

Imagine I wrote a book called "I'm Going To Destroy Your Life in 2025" and I was like "That's just a book, it doesn't mean I'm actually going to destroy your life" and then you give me power of attorney and I destroyed your life the way I said I would in the book That's U.S. politics right now

In #BatonRouge, the mayor is proposing a raid on the public #library using the same playbook we've seen before: in #Lafayette, in #Livingston, & in #StTammany. Here's the truth, and what you can do about it: www.la-cac.org/br-proposal-...

Do you know anyne working for DOGE? Here are a handful of the people working with Elon Musk to cut federal agencies @propublica.org projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

Good morning. ICYMI.

“The ‘DEI in the dustbin’ narrative is utterly unsupported by data. Companies that have formally backed away from diversity programs represent a tiny minority of corporate America. The Heritage Foundation recently conceded that 486 of Fortune 500 still have inclusion statements on their websites.”

Thank the universe you are standing in the way of this nonsense..

Every once in a while the universe does good.

Please share: We’ve received word that Elon Musk’s staffers are using space characters to identify information leakers. Before sharing any information, please use a checker to detect and remove these.

When you open the Matryoshka that is our current state of the Federal State, he would be the teeny tiny little doll that started it all.

Le sigh. Idiocracy year 00

Handmaid's Tale was supposed to be fiction NOT a blueprint.

Once again anexample is The Onion rejected headline.

Hi. Jewish person here. These are concentration camps and should be called that by everyone.

if you cared about morale and recruitment you would not alienate a group that disproportionately enlists into the military, but if you are a white nationalist…
