Crews today dismantled plaques telling the stories of enslaved people who lived in the President's House in Philadelphia following orders by President Trump and Interior Secretary Burgum to remove content at national parks that “inappropriately disparage” the US. 6abc.com/post/philade...

These demands are very basic. They should be met immediately.

If you don’t recognize that speaking to a boy in a wheelchair in a way that affirms his humanity, recognizes his human virtues, and acknowledges his disability without defining him by it was a deeply political act in 1981, you don’t really understand what “politics” means

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

This article-- advising middle aged white collar workers to restart in blue collar jobs, SPECIFICALLY ones that have had large amounts of private equity investment-- is FUCKING SOCIOPATHIC.

Far too many Americans respect law enforcement far more than they respect the law. And that leads to bruitishness, rather than to law and order. Why are we letting them lay claim to patriotism?

Resignation letters from UVA Rector and Vice Rector to Youngkin. Too long for full alts, but will post excerpts following.

Schumer as a major American metro is being brutally occupied by Trump goons: "The affordability crisis will be our focus throughout 2026 because that's what the American people are demanding"

What the US would rally around is a movement for clean politics. Close loopholes. Stop letting politicians profit from insider knowledge. Stronger ethics rules.

I mean. I am not an expert. But when the government is like “Hey, give me a list of Jews. For uh protection reasons” it would seem like A BAD THING. apple.news/A-AXrNRgkRhm...

“because these fully funded grants commit all of their money up front, it means the agency’s annual budget is divided into fewer projects, instead of being spread among a larger number of scientific bets.” 🎁 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Donald Trump obviously knows that he is lying when he says global warming is a hoax because otherwise he wouldn't be so horny for Greenland

The Trump regime is targeting Renee Good’s wife now????? Low-down depraved monsters. “Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned on Tuesday over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the widow of a woman killed by an ICE agent and the department’s reluctance to investigate the shooter.”

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Just checking here, but the White House is threatening to bomb Iran for killing protestors while also telling its own citizens that if they protest, they deserve to be shot. Is that right?

When Vance insists, contra the videos, that Good threatened the ICE agent and "had it coming", what he means is that he, like Ross, feels threatened by any woman who has the audacity to use her voice in the public sphere. This deeply misogynist worldview is core to MAGA.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Y’all — Trump is literally wearing a pin of himself

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

Yale Law School never beating the “they don’t teach law at Yale” allegations

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

My kitchen table issue is “don’t shoot people at their kitchen tables”

abolish ice is the moderate position to be honest. whichever candidate promises to nuremberg the ice agents has my vote at this point

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

If Trump tries to take Greenland, not only will the US lose NATO, but Russia will actually get it with a few years of negotiation between RUS and the EU.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

sure sure you can have hegemony by trade, ideology and cultural influence, but does that make your dick hard?

they're doing it for gender, imo

The vaccine autism thing is bullshit but even if you believed it, it seems incredibly fucked up to then believe that raising child death rates is some sort of worthwhile trade-off to reduce autism rates

Russia and the United States should lose their permanent positions on the UN Security Council. Spots on the UNSC should be reserved for good neighbors. You don't put people who won't believe in something as fundamental as property lines in charge of the HOA.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver. This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something." They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable. These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

Chevron donated to Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration fund. Chevron’s CEO publicly praised trump’s energy agenda. Chevron donations: 94% Republican, 6% Democrat. Chevron is the ONLY foreign oil company allowed to operate in Venezuela. Follow the money.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

at least part of everything this government does is to impress a handful of psychos on twitter

And there ya have it… Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

Trump’s message to oil companies on Venezuela: ‘’You gotta go in"

Very obvious that Republican insiders viewed this as an insider trading opportunity

Unsurprising but disappointing. And good to know, I guess. :/

I believe he's quoting Josh Duggar, here, right?

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience. Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense. They admitted it. slate.com/news-and-pol...
