Deeply racist, yes, but also deeply stupid. Rural counties have higher enrollments than urban ones. Some of the largest enrollment states are red ones like Louisiana, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Undocumented immigrants are ineligible. Most beneficiaries are required to work 80 hrs/month.

Every time someone sends me a frog clip in the wild, I smile 😊.

Democrats should carpet bomb the Midwest with ads of this clip during the closing stretch of the 2026 campaign.

As @maddow.msnbc.com says, watch what they do. And what they do is sadistic.

It’s fun to look at this ai slop nazi propaganda and then remember what these guys actually look like. This isn’t what they (or america) looks like and far from loving america, this is an expression of severe self loathing bsky.app/profile/geof...

This is a good map to study closely to broadly understand global power structures.

Portland resists with whimsical improv theater, Chicago resists by screaming at weird jagoffs that don’t belong in the neighborhood. Every city brings its own strengths to the fight

You can get arrested for hurting ICE agent’s feelings

SNAP benefits are about to lapse for 42 million people, because nothing says “save the children” like starving them.

like* recognizes like** *loser **loser

basically all this shit is Roberts' fault, because the immunity made Trump feel like he could break the law as much as he wants without consequences. bsky.app/profile/jayw...

Look at these fools.

People keep saying it's privately funded. That's misleading. "Privately funded" is when foundations and wealthy individuals pay for it. At least half a dozen of these donors are major federal contractors dependent on U.S. taxpayers. This is money laundering.

At first, I read this as "perverse academic freedom" and I think that's more accurate anyway

"the U.S. is cutting off the kind of foreign aid that keeps children alive for 12 cents a day, but it’s willing to invest far larger sums in a dubious effort to prop up a distant economy — while effectively subsidizing tycoons who made bad investments." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/o...

When I say the MAGA movement is post-truth, this is the sort of thing I mean. Push blatant lies in advance of an event, see overwhelming evidence that the lies were false, know that others saw it too, but plow ahead with the same lies, opposed to the notion that living in factual reality matters.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

FDR Memorial, Washington DC. -RIP East Wing-

This is gone now. The East Wing lobby two years ago.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military. The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history. Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

The difference between Donald Trump and Rodrigo Duterte is basically just Fox News

Setting aside The Horror for a quick second, what is even the business strategy here? They are making their stores actively hostile to and unsafe for the guys who go in to make big bulk materials purchases every day

surely just a coincidence.

An employee at Sequoia Park Zoo in Northern California found a black bear who came in from the wild, introduced itself to the zoo’s bears and played with their toys, before being shown the exit.

I’m sorry, what now? Also and again, Republicans in Congress are demonstrably okay with everything that’s happening

the new lost generation

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

The thing he admires most about Putin is the "Not Hiding It."

A Tarrant County resident who has worked as an election judge criticized the county’s move to cut more than 100 polling sites. “You’re not saving money,” she said. “You’re sacrificing democracy to save a buck.” With @fortworthreport.bsky.social @texastribune.org

Trump: You get that visual allegory of my second term? Photographer: Sure did boss, real fuckin dystopian just like you asked.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Well, at least you know where they stand.

They aren't really targeting professors in Texas, are they? Me:

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

“The Purdue student newspaper owns its own presses” is the sound of engines revving

Good morning, America. Nice work yesterday. I love you.

Vance *is* vulgar trash.

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle. And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

I hope each and every one of the fascists who rule this country read this and choke.

JD Vance does the ice bucket challenge to raise money for ICE agents.

Live your life in such a way that 7 million people don’t show up just to tell you that you are an asshole. #NoKings

Yes, yes he is.
