We are being reminded that a fundamental issue of our day isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.” It’s who our government actually works for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires? Or should it work for the rest of us?

Bannon called it “another 5D chess move from Trump” pointing out that ICE agents are trained to check IDs, making airport duty “perfect training for the fall of 2026.” This is not subtle. They’re telling you exactly what they’re planning.

Trump's regime is illegally dismantling the Dept. of Education and trying to convince Congress that it's no longer needed. Now handing $1.7 trillion in student loans to Treasury. No plan. No protections. Just chaos for 40 million borrowers. This isn't reform. It's sabotage.

Taking care of business. We need to do this and move on.

Rep Lieu (D-CA) with a brilliant breakdown of the SAVE Act. Trump and MAGA Republicans know their policies are crushing the working class but instead of changing those policies they want to disenfranchise voters. Americans say #NoPayToVoteSAVEAct Democrats need to hold the line.

My 8-point article re: the “Save America Act”, which wld nationalize voter purges via a centralized computer system overhauled by DOGE in collaboration w/ SSA whose databases have allegedly been compromised by DOGE. The bill also makes it hard to prove you’re a citizen if the system flags you.

Gabbard just confirmed Trump personally directed her to the Georgia election raid…not DOJ, not FBI. She then put him on speakerphone with the agents. The nation’s top intel chief, in a domestic election probe, at the president’s personal request. #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/207928/...

One candidate for city council in D.C.’s upcoming Democratic primary election says ranked-choice voting has changed the way she has been canvassing. “As a candidate, you have to be able to build a broad coalition to be able to win.”

Yall will shout entire sections of the human race down behind a bitchy influencer If they cry enough or have a good enough gym routine But expect women who lead entire movements / moments with precarious finances and the weight of EVERYTHING to fight people you make actual GODS

LOVE Libro.fm! Ditch Audible.

Ultimately, it's the same story as the Epstein files: * a lot of men use power to harm women, often sexually * institutions at all levels--from social mvmts like UFW to families--seek to protect the men, not the women they harmed * women are supposed to carry on as normal, despite this betrayal

The nationwide book ban bill is now entering the House of Representatives for consideration. Here's everything you need to know about HR 7661, including next steps to take in helping defeat this anti-LGBTQ, anti-intellectual, pro-voucher bill before it goes any farther: bookriot.com/hr7661-advan...

Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok Mamdani (actual quote): In the fifth century in what we now know as Ireland, a British warlord named Coroticus had laid waste to the countryside

Billionaires make up only 0.0003% of the U.S. population. They made 19% of federal campaign donations in 2024. THIS is why our politics are broken. We need to get big money out of politics NOW. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...

And like at this point I don’t know what to tell people . Folks are having white on white slap fights and “maybe we only need to abandon trans folks alil but” Meanwhile over and over the RIGHT is telling you they won’t survive folks not doing that what’s left to say

really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

Thoughts & prayers to the EPA :(

This first-year med student taught himself to illustrate a range of medical conditions as they affect Black people — here's why diversity in medical drawings matters! #BlackHistoryMonth

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

It is very hard not to have a safe choice to use the bathroom in public. It may be impossible to continue living, working, eating, etc without a valid driver's license if your life was built around driving and the assumption that your license wouldn't be invalidated overnight by the legislature.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

We're seeing a drop off in newborn donations in Minneapolis. Birth workers are seeing small/early babies due to stress/food insecurity—ICE has not stopped—families still in desperate need of support. If you're able, here is a wishlist compiled by folks doing mutual aid www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

🔥🔥🔥 👀 Updated numbers show that Trump stole $1700 from every household in America through his illegal tariffs. We should demand direct repayment to every household through check or tax credit… not to big business- as we’ve already paid the increased prices. www.jec.senate.gov/public/index...

"tapering plans" for HRT is a death sentence if you've had gender-affirming surgeries, like I have with my orchi, because your body will just wither away and die without hormones. Unspeakable evil. Demonic shit. You don't hate these motherfuckers enough.

Reminder: No government ever builds concentration camps it does not intend to fill.

Prince Andrew arrested over Epstein ties on the same day South Korea’s ex-president was jailed for life for attempting a coup. Lord, I have seen what you’ve done for others 🙏🙏 www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Trump administration will cut $600 million in public health funds for four Democratic-led states, including Colorado. By @lindseytoomer.bsky.social

A massive new voter suppression bill could disenfranchise 21 million Americans before the midterms. The GOP-led campaign to create barriers to voting follows a series of alarming White House statements telegraphing its intent to interfere with the 2026 midterm elections.

Concentration camps: "I saw people lying in feces, throwing up, and sleeping in urine."

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse. Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch." Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

“For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick.” Conditions in a San Diego concentration camp, via message hurled out in a bottle.

Each data center can “drink” as much as an entire community. Yet Texas does not require data center operators to disclose projected water use or report actual consumption. This makes research difficult and limits visibility for water-stressed municipalities.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

They were never going to get to their stated deportations goal with due process. So they're phasing it out. (Part 2)

Independent journalist Georgia Fort was also arrested by federal agents earlier for reporting on the church protest in Minneapolis. She was live streaming when agents arrived to take her into custody.

Yes, this is the America that Black people know. Great thread by Portia🧵

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

I'm thinking fondly of the "phone tree activation" scene in the movie Practical Magic where all the gossipy moms from the PTA show up to be their emergency coven.

Get angry because someone like you was murdered by the state. Stay angry because the state murders people who aren't like you every day.

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

Residents taking their trash out is very threatening to ICE officers.

The administration is trying to aggressively escalate its coercive power over the American people.

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

I agree with this. Pretty much everyone on every platform is crashing out right now. The best thing you can do right now is be really intentional and focused about how you spend your time here and elsewhere online and find meaningful offline things to do with your time and energy.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy
