It's hard to avoid recalling this passage from the English historian Tony Judt:

Musk, who think he’s humanity’s savior, will likely be remembered as the man who caused the deaths of 15 million people www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Surely none of y’all believe we attacked Iran because they are on the verge of a nuclear weapon. Those of us over 25 have seen this movie before. Don’t fall for it

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

I hope every elected official, business owner, university president, and media executive sees the millions of people out in the streets today and understands: If we fight back, this is the power on our side.

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

The most dangerous man in US history?

By the hour, Donald Trump makes it clearer he is the most dangerous political leader in our history, the greatest threat America faces.

Think about what kind of person you have to be to lie about sending someone to a torture prison for life based on nothing bsky.app/profile/atru...

Reminder: If they can lie that they're violent and disappear them, they can lie that you're violent and disappear you.

“He’s been talking about it…” Saying the same half-cocked, uninformed, off-the-fly things in 2025 he said in 1985. And it shows.

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

The U.S. has become a secret police state www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/o...

Every night @maddow.msnbc.com has a first segment that runs through protests and town halls held in last 24 hrs and if you are feeling like nobody is feeling like you feel or you don’t know what to do: start by watching these and then find your people in your area. They are everywhere.

One of the most striking and consistent threads in Trump’s political career has been his utter contempt for military veterans. What they’re doing to the VA is shameful. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/u...

Seriously.

Come on down to the White House Tesla Auto Mall!

"If someone legally in the United States can be grabbed from his home for engaging in constitutionally protected political activity, we are in a drastically different country from the one we inhabited before," writes our columnist Michelle Goldberg.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

“Breaking the law” is so much more accurate and way quicker to say!

"Be angry, but don't give up." From Rachel's interview tonight with Senator Brian Schatz @schatz.bsky.social Part 1 (testing how it looks to post a multi-part video here)

This is morally indefensible and strategically bankrupt. It’s just letting people die on purpose and it makes us weaker in every way.

This is insane. Apartheid Clyde is trying to live out his white supremacist fever dreams

Ethnic cleansing shamelessly encouraged by the United States President.

This is major. We also need Democratic leadership to tell us what the people can do to reject this unlawful attack on our government

Congratulations to all of our big winners at the Grammys tonight! We finally have a Beyonce Album of the Year! It’s about time! And Not Like Us won Video, Song and Record of the year.

I don’t think we have ever had such a robust, thoroughly awesome slate of Best New Artist candidates at any Grammy ceremony I’ve seen. The performances by all of them were incredible!

All Mitch had to do was summon up a conviction in DJT’s impeachment after he encouraged a fucking insurrection. We would have been done with DJT forever.

Cynthia Erivo is one of the world’s greatest singers 🙌🏾

Trying to explain to Chrissy what massive news the Luka-AD trade is. She don’t give af

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history
