I love how Bessent invokes Joe Biden and says, "We had a fiscal contraction last year." Wait, who was president for over 11 of the 12 months of 2025?

This frankly goes for a lot of things with this administration. People are happy to wield ableism (or fatphobia, etc.) against someone they deem as deserving. But all they're doing is further normalizing those forms of discrimination and sending a negative signal to folks who are on the same side.

If you are praising Tucker Carlson, you can just leave it at that -- you are praising Tucker Carlson.

but we can't afford universal health care and housing for all.

This CJNG news in Mexico is *nuts* - leader killed in a raid by Mexican security services - cartel is now actively engaging Mexican forces across multiple states. - No evidence Delta Force was involved. People seem to be getting confused with “Delta” faction of CJNG

Yep. Viruses just hang in the air in our exhaled breaths. Often contagious for hours. They don't care who inhales them next. Social Distancing was always BS, based on disproven droplet dogma that said viruses can't spread further than 6ft. This was a lie to protect the profits of the filthy rich.

This is a massively controversial opinion apparently. I don’t think healthcare workers should be exposed to all the different kinds of infectious diseases their patients have, in one go. In one shift the immune system has to deal with five different viruses? Why?

Denmark rescued a sick US sailor after US forces were incapable of providing modern medical care. The US sailor was evacuated by the Danish warship HDMS Vædderen off Greenland. The incident embarrassed Trump The Rapist to blurt out that he’s sending a “hospital boat”.

Well, I guess this fits. AI art is to actual art what Bari Weiss is to actual news.

MAGA, Every single day I am greatful…

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

“Why don’t victims just go to the police?” This is why. Victims get blamed. Told their case won’t go anywhere. Told they asked for it. Told they can’t file a complaint. This French civil servant was so high up police refused to take the complaint. Our lives do not matter to them.

the concept of partying with the guy who went under oath to say that epstein didn’t do anything wrong

So it's ok to start a war illegally against a nation of 92 million, for whom you have "no sympathy" as long as the purpose is clear? The Big Dem line that Trump is a demented fascist domestically while simultaneously agreeing his foreign policy decisions just isn't gonna cut it anymore.

Nobody would have ever known about this small town's decision to say no to ICE without the local paper. Support your local paper! www.hampshirereview.com/news/article...

Trump grabs Americans’ tariff money and refuses to return a cent. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, unbothered, promises nothing. Apparently, legal theft is now a national sport, and silence is their only economic policy. #ProudBlue #DV1

In order to have truly had that chance, we would have needed to be in a different place on average with ableism in our society. Relatedly, lots of leftist organizations refuse to mask up and allow disabled folks to participate.

A remarkably disheartening thing is you get the sense there are a handful of genuine historic fork in the road moments of what kind of country we want in our lifetime, and I still can’t shake how much during the height of Covid we had a decision of what lessons we’d all take from it and what…

For the first time ever, Team USA finished a solo 2nd place in both gold medals and total medals at the Winter Olympics. It's the best we've ever done. And U.S. women carried Team USA on their backs: 67% of gold medals, 61% of total medals. Thanks, Title IX!

Trans people online were aggressively WARNING people that they were under assault and in danger. People don't want to admit we were right or that they could have helped avoid this outcome. The defense mechanism kicks in to avoid the shame of turning on a defenseless minority for no reason at all.

I sometimes think about the fact that the only consequences Trump faced from Jan 6th were having accounts suspended by banks and social media apps. Which he subsequently has sued or otherwise punished while pardoning all of the insurrectionists. This is how I feel every time I recall that.

I like the Kennedy colors. But how many planes does this man need? There are already two new Air Force One jets in the pipeline, plus the Saudi “gift” jet taxpayers are spending millions to retrofit, all getting the new color scheme. The question isn’t the paint job. It’s the priorities.

Well Greg, a lot of people know someone who has struggled with substance abuse. It doesn’t make you a science-denying anti-vaxxer.

A New Mexico lawmaker is glad her state banned local coordination with ICE, but wants Democrats to remain vigilant about ICE beyond the current administration. “These are issues that a lot of us organizers have been talking about for decades.”

I will personally not watch on Tuesday. I refuse to listen to his lies and witness his hatefulness, narcissistic and childlike behavior .He will likely lash out at the Supreme Court since they recently struck down his unlawful tariffs. He will likely become unhinged. I don’t care about his tantrums

Pressure is mounting publicly and privately for entertainment mogul Casey Wasserman to step down as chair of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. https://cnn.it/4qVpXjR

Donald Trump’s second presidential term has made Springsteen more outspoken than ever—and given his interventions a new urgency. https://bit.ly/4ar9Llo

This means I literally could not teach my subject (African politics) at the institution at which I earned my PhD.

Talarico is a champion of the separation of church and state and does not use religion as a tool to gain electoral traction. Try again. This time, be honest about why you're supporting Jasmine, instead of talking shit about her opponent.

Nobody has to join the military, and the country is better off having its best and brightest work on other efforts, but there’s always a certain irony when the biggest hawks chose not to serve.

I've said all along, get rid of the old guard. Get rid of the concillatory demcrats and get somebody in there willing to stand up and fight. There are too many dem's who still believe the republicans will eventually come to their senses. It's never going to happen. Get those people out!

If you are sitting in class and you are like ‘i’m surrounded by rothschilds who paid to get here’ and ignoring the fact that WASP elites unquestionably benefit more from legacy admission and special advantage, you are an anti-Semite

Brianna is in the ‘those tricky Jews!’ phase of her descent into open anti semitism

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

Reminder of how they plan to build out and furnish the ICE camps:

Mamdani: NYC declared a local state of emergency ahead of this blizzard. Roads closed at 9p through 12p Monday. Essential and emergency trips only. No school Monday: snow day, not remote. Warming centers: open citywide. Parking: alternate side suspended Monday.

"no swearing in school" my god just quit and go to another school man, there is no coming back from this here

Data centers are a growing political issue. Voters — and candidates — are still figuring them out www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

We cannot forget about Ukraine. Gift Article: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/o...

2026 basically

“Trump won the 2024 election with one of the smallest popular-vote margins in U.S. history, but in news deserts…it was an avalanche. Trump won 91% of these counties…. “His margin in news deserts was massive. He won these counties by an avg of 54 points.”

The SAVE Act failed to pass last year because of nationwide public opposition. Now it’s back, and Congress should reject it again. Add your voice: bit.ly/4tmVIor

One challenge is that pols follow journalists. There is a felt need to counter right-wing narratives that get juiced which MSM then legitimize & amplify from X. As long as legacy media like NYT etc monitor + cite X as public sentiment (which they tell us they do) it is tricky for pols to leave

Absolutely gutted by this @ahylton26.bsky.social interview with a first grader who was left home alone for hours last month after ICE arrested her father outside their apartment.

Next week the adjudicated rapist, serial predator, alleged pedophile & billionaire grifter will try to bamboozle US into believing the state of the union is strong We know better The Epstein Class is fucking the rest of us in more ways than one #SOTU #SOTUisWeak

Four years ago, Putin launched his brutal invasion of sovereign and democratic Ukraine. The resistance of the people of Ukraine has been an example and inspiration for free people everywhere. Слава Україні! Glory to Ukraine!

Majority of Americans Still Stand With Ukraine. 🇺🇸 🇺🇦👊

“There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position ... It’s easy, I know, to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is: it’s up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us.” - @ossoff.bsky.social Read This:
