Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

This is the post I'm going to send UNC when they write to ask for an alumni donation.

Get this: The WH confirmed that the construction of Trump’s $200 million golden ballroom will continue during his government shutdown while American soldiers go without pay. Are we great yet?

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

Look at that huge jump in Trump's wealth in 2025. Americans can't afford groceries or health care. But the Trump presidency is working out great for Donald Trump. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

Disney should tell Nextar & Sinclair to pound sand: You're not getting any of our content if you don't air Kimmel. Then see how quickly they fold.

The DeSantis regime will do more to protect sidewalks from chalk than children from bullets.

The murder rate in Tampa, where Benny lives, is nearly triple that of New York City

Wait! FEMA has money to build concentration camps but doesn’t have money to help communities rebuild from floods, hurricanes, and wildfires?

do these guys realize they are just signing up for a recurring subscription

The Trump administration appointed Mueller to investigate the 2016 election This resulted in 8 Trump associates being convicted of crimes The Senate Intelligence Committee-led by Marco Rubio-noted extensive connections between Trump and Russia NEITHER of these GOP controlled probes mention Obama

America has the most corrupt political system in the Western world.

This is the consequences when we chose the wrong direction.

ICE will have a budget greater than the Ukrainian armed forces in 2024. Let me repeat that. The Republicans are willing to pay more than entire military budget of the Ukrainians to round up people into camps and deport them into a Gulag. ICE would be the 8th most well funded military on Earth.

We are dismantling American higher education & scientific research & health care & all the other things to fund concentration camps

I am not exaggerating when I say the Supreme Court’s unsigned, unexplained order yesterday is the worst thing it has done since Trump returned to office. And not just on the merits—it’s also an unfathomably dangerous green light for Trump to flout lower court orders. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Absolute bloodbath at FDA, very bad

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

🤣

really great how swiftly Trump & co have made the U.S. a shithole country that can't even suspend the routine for five minutes for international visitors, like plenty of repressive regimes are able to pull off all the time

Rümeysa Öztürk wrote an op-ed critical of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. She was arrested by ICE and was in detention for six weeks. This white nationalist student wrote a paper that argued the Constitution applies only to white people. He won an award.

Agree 💯.

Bill Bramhall in today’s Dallas Morning News.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

I’m doing a fundraiser over the next 10 days to help the SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition, a nonprofit based in LA, save its mobile shower program. More info below but—if you donate enough, I’ll send you a video message or a custom painting like this one. Please share! gofund.me/f7cc66ff

Look at this. Representative Rob Bresnahan said he would ban stock trading when he got into Congress in January. Since then, he's traded 530 times.

Every single foreign student at Harvard and every other US institution had to get a visa which required them to specify the school, and is tracked in a DHS system called SEVIS by their school.

Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) is now asking FEMA for disaster relief after voting 'nơ' on extra funding just a classic case of, 'Not in my backyard, unless I need help.' Missouri's tornado wreckage, totaling over $1.6 billion in damage, has Hawley scrambling for aid. youtube.com/post/UgkxQ_1...

The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

On the left, the guy who ordered his 15-man death squad to kill and dismember American journalist Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. On the right, the former leader of Al Qaeda with a $10m US bounty on his head. And in the middle, the most corrupt US President in history.

I'll just take this moment to point out that the US Institute of Peace, just a few weeks ago, contained one of the finest concentrations of US expertise on India and Pakistan, and crisis management in South Asia.
