MapQuest and Firefox coming out of Gen X retirement to lead the charge against fascism is the most unexpected yet peak 2025 energy. MySpace, your move.

MapQuest letting people rename the Gulf of Mexico on their maps is the kind of pettiness we didn’t know we needed in 2025

This is the way… Thousands of Democrats are flooding town halls around the country, making their voices heard and demanding their senators and reps to do more, to fight harder against Trump and Musk! Don’t let up—it’s working.

Let's aim for over 100 reposts for this post! Please help us with this challenge!

How to transform your car brand into a symbol of hate. Cartoon by Fredrik Skavlan in Aftenposten, a Norwegian newspaper

I wrote about Kendrick Lamar Superbowl performance-- its subversive messaging about America being a rigged, deadly game of survival-- especially for Black people. But we need to stop pretending revolution is going to come from celebrities. It'll come from us. Gift link here: wapo.st/42JVBs6

It will always be The Gulf of Mexico.

The ASL version of “Not Like Us” is magnificent.

a divided flag for a divided nation

firefox has been living up to its name lately 🔥 IYKYK

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show was packed with symbolism – Samuel Jackson as “Uncle Sam” sneering, “Too loud, too ghetto, too reckless,” followed by “cultured chicos,” challenging society’s view of Black culture.

As a brazilian (a country also endangered by fascism), my advice for you is: don't let fear stop you for acting against fascism. If fear grows and paralyses you, use the hate inside yourself to keep yourself moving. Don't obbey in advance. Don't let them win without opposition.

(1/X) I still want this account to be mostly jokes, but I think we need to be realistic about what we’re facing. It’s likely going to take mass protests stop the country from devolving all the way into fascism

Musk might be the face of DOGE, but Thiel’s fingerprints are all over its foundation. And that’s alarming—Thiel’s belief in tech-driven disruption has long been tied to far-right ideologies, using his wealth & influence to consolidate power, undermining democracy & the systems meant to protect us.

didn’t realize not taking your meds could turn you into a full-blown Nazi

For those wondering why there’s a bear on California flag—it’s a tribute to CA’s strength, defiance, & fearless independence. In 1846, CA rebelled & was briefly its own country. The last of the grizzlies were wiped out by 1920s, but their spirit lives on. Bold, rebellious, & unmistakably Californian

Members of Congress were just denied entry to the Department of Treasury. This is a 5 alarm fire.

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

Crowd keeps growing outside Treasury as Members who were DENIED entry speak

REP. JONES: “Happy Black History Month — we know by ‘DEI’ they mean Black… we need to stand up for racial justice & Black history… this building was built by the enslaved… our history should guide us… let’s tell the truth about it and make 🇺🇸 what it ought to be.”

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

I used to try to avoid posting about politics too much, because I know people followed me for art and comic stuff. But politics are affecting my ability to exist and create art, so I'm going to keep posting about politics until it gets better.

he did it. he managed to turn our nicest neighbors into angry retaliators. forgive us, Canada

THIS!!

A group of 19–24 y.o. engineers, linked to Musk’s companies & Peter Thiel’s network, some with no experience or credentials, have gained access to Treasury payments, classified data, & even tried to breach USAID security. This is an alarming takeover of govt. How much longer can this go unchecked?

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Our beloved Canada is under threat. The threat comes from the president of the US—a convicted felon and known predator. But the threat is also being driven by the hate algorithms of oligarchs like Elon Musk….

NBC News is being kicked out of its space in the Pentagon and replaced by OANN.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

I don’t know if this is the plan. But if it is, let me rain on that parade. Elon will never allow Democrats to win the mid-terms. If the plan is not to get him out of our govt systems now, it’s a wrap.

trump supporters’ hatred runs so deep, they’d rather cheer for their own downfall than admit they fell for a conman

Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico are a gamble we can’t afford. Expect higher prices on everyday goods, increased costs for manufacturers, potential job losses, and damaged trade relations with our allies. How exactly is this “America First” when we’ll be the ones paying the price?

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

standing up is easy when you’re winning – it’s when the tide turns that you see who fights, who folds, and who falls in line. remember that.
