Dear Congressional Democrats, Just don’t go. Please. Don’t play silly games or wave signs in protest in the House chamber tomorrow night. JUST DON’T GO. Period. Do not normalize who he is and what he’s doing. Boycott his speech. Don’t go. Sincerely, A Very New Democrat

One year ago today, I was arrested for protesting MAGA extremism at the Huntington Beach City Council. If I’m going to ask people to stand up for democracy, for our schools, for our freedoms, then I have to be willing to stand up first. That’s who I am, and it’s why I’m running for State Assembly.

“So, in conclusion, the Cybertruck is far more dangerous (by volume) than the historic poster child for corporate greed and grossly antagonistic design [the Ford Pinto].” “…I can’t recommend sitting in one.” #tesla #cybertruck fuelarc.com/news-and-fea...

Holy SHIT.

Incredibly explosive testimony…..please watch and share….

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

UPDATE 3: my piece for @trumpfile.org is live. sordid tale starts w/ Donny/DHS' scheme hatched in December to acquire properties... so "deportations work like Amazon Prime" 🤦‍♂️ also, yes, the fascist "property surge" is part of Project 2025's manifesto. bc of course. trumpfile.org/ice-spending...

one thing to note: I dug up Walton County property-tax records and transaction history for that site suggests sketchy price inflation BEFORE Donny's fascists snagged it. latest trade doesn't show in records either 👀 qpublic.schneidercorp.com/Application....

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social You won’t find a bigger fan of yours than me, certainly not in Staten Island. The decision about tues school opening is a bit of a punch in the nads for us out here. I get that that there are legit citywide reasons, but it’s another example of SI getting screwed again.

Russia bombs one US company after the other in Ukraine & the pro-Putin Trump administration does not protest in any way. The more Putin bombs Ukraine, even US companies, the more Trump supports Putin. This should be the main topic of US foreign policy discussion.

Judge Cannon’s final blocking of Jack Smith’s report on the classified documents case — because it would be “unfair” to Trump — proves beyond doubt what the public long suspected: Trump and his cronies committed treason against the United States.

The job of Democrats for years to come is to remind people how much they hated Republican immigration and economic policy. "Remember when we tried that last time? Remember how much you hated it?"

The anti-Bluesky discourse seems really overheated and dumb. It's a website, FFS. There's plenty of interesting discussion on it and a lot of smart people on it as well. It hasn't supplanted Twitter, true, but the idea that this represents some sort of major disqualifying failure is farcical.

I wrote on the shameful situation re: the recession of a deanship to Emily Suski at the University of Arkansas Law. What was the reason? Prof. Suski signed an amicus brief supporting trans rights. The Arkansas legislators admitted that was it! Horrible outcome. ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Trump spent the last 8 months saying that "the nuclear threat of Iran was totally obliterated" by Operation Midnight Hammer which "set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years to come." Were they lying then or are they lying now?

@walshfreedom.bsky.social: "We have everything that our founders feared in the White House. He's a pathological liar. He's a psychopath. He's a fascist…My former party is an authoritarian-embracing cult…I know we want the Republican Party back, but it's not coming back."

The FBI claimed Kash Patel didn't spend $75,000 in taxpayer funds to fly on a private jet to watch the Olympics. Today, Patel was spotted partying in Team USA's locker room.

“Not only has Congress not authorized such a war, but it has barely even debated it. The administration has not bothered to explain, either to Congress or the American people, why it might bomb Iran or what it hopes to achieve…This is how an autocracy goes to war.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/o...

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker. Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

President Trump is asking the federal government for billions of dollars in damages, putting his own Justice Department on the spot and creating an unprecedented ethical morass.

“PRO-LIFE” AND “SAVE THE CHILDREN” HUH? EXPLAIN THIS SHIT THEN. “AFTER THE SEX ACT, BOTH MINORS WERE FORCED TO ORALLY COPULATE DEFENDANT TRUMP BY PLACING THEIR MOUTHS SIMULTANEOUSLY ON HIS ERECT PENIS… AFTER ZIPPING UP… PHYSICALLY PUSHED THE MINORS… ANGRILY BERATING THEM FOR THE ‘POOR’ QUALITY…”

Trump logic: The highest court responsible for enforcing the Constitution—made up of a majority of judges on my ideological side—just found my conduct as clearly unconstitutional. So they’re being disloyal to the Constitution. Read that & convince yourself his brain isn’t a jelly bean. Ya can’t.

Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"

GORSUCH: “.. permanent accretion of power in the hands of one man. That is no recipe for a republic.” 👀

The fact that Alito and Thomas were willing to vote in favor of something that was just so plainly unconstitutional is all the proof we need that the Supreme Court is a partisan organ and that there needs to be term limits set on its justices.
