For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.

UNFUN FACT: The 2026 FIFA World Cup features 48 teams co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico. Of the 48 participating nations, the United States is the only one without a universal health care system.

Hello? I'd like to report a murder.

Donald Trump is breaking all of his promises, and he thinks you're too stupid to notice.

“Strong men don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful” -Michelle Obama The pathetic FC fighter who insulted her & all the assholes who either laughed or didn’t say anything are not strong men They confuse brutality & bullying as manly But they’re really all whiny weaklings

Random thought: $1 Trillon is enough to fund an entire annual #NIH budget for 2 decades. 🧪 Let that sink in.

Trump wants to throw out lawful votes, disenfranchise U.S. citizens and subvert the outcomes of elections entirely. Don’t let him get away with it. “Stop trying to meet him halfway,” @marcelias.bsky.social says. “There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.”

What I know for sure: Susan Collins helped strip rights for women, cancelled healthcare for millions, supported the death of USAID, helped hide the Epstein files, supported J6ers pardons, supported ICE disappearing people with out due process, supports anti-vaccine movement, and so much more.

BREAKING: This ICE flight has just landed. Central African Republic becomes the 27th country to take third-country nationals from the Trump administration. The Third-Country Removal Tracker has been updated. gillianbrockell.com/tracking-all...

Vanderbilt & Wash U both have massive investments in SpaceX; they provided working capital for DOGE's attacks on science, academia, and humanity as a whole. Their admins believe the fascists will do them favors and make them rich, and that's the entire explanation for the chancellors' "report."

Fun fact: Trump bought stock in UFC’s parent company earlier this year. Now there’s a giant UFC arena on the White House lawn. I’m sure that’s completely unrelated.

Mr. Blumenthal, wow, powerful words. Thank you for standing up and calling him out on the facts! 👏👏👏👏👏 #TruthMatters #DemocracyMatters #Pinks

@tarasetmayer.bsky.social @jimacosta.bsky.social @profgalloway.com @meetthepress.com @jaketapper.bsky.social America needs to listen to this: You can hide from what is going on. It will be your burden to carry for a lifetime. #slavaukraine 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇭🇺✌️ 🐸🐸🐸Resist

what a mess and what a metaphor

FLASH: 35 former federal judges ask court to investigate alleged "collusion" in Trump's lawsuit vs. his own IRS and the $1.7 billion slush fund Just filed: open.substack.com/pub/macfarla...

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis: “To call Ken Paxton 'ethically challenged' is to call Jeffrey Dahmer suffering from an eating disorder.”

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Obama should hold rallies and talk shit about trump. It would consume his whole being. He wouldn’t be able to do anything but scream.

These are actual Freedom Riders, now elderly, sitting together decades after risking their lives to challenge segregation in the American South. On May 4, 1961, they rode buses south to defy illegal segregation in terminal facilities.

@tarasetmayer.bsky.social You inspire!

An “accessory.” Justice Marshall delivered it raw and real.

A reminder that both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris literally warned everyone that SCOTUS was on the ballot. They were right yet again.

I wish they cared this much about shootings when it happens to children at school.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

💙🌊 #MESEN. #Maine. Support JANET MILLS. She is the assured blue vote in the Senate. We actually know her policy stances both from her actual policy positions and statements as also her record of service. Don’t play this seat! Repost please.

We should be learning from other countries...

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Lemme try commonsense: Mocking a religion doesn't bring peace any closer. It doesn't signal strength, and it is unlikely to lead to better outcomes. As such, it doesn't serve America's interests.

According to the Times:

Poland PM: 🇵🇱

Don’t let this go by unnoticed

@frankabruni.bsky.social DT jitterbugging on a grave… There’s no bottom. None.

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

The only mainstream journalists speaking truth to power these days are cartoonists

Not one of them has ever stood in a line for 4 hours or more to vote in person. Not one of them has been turned away at the polls because they are suddenly “not on the list.” Not one has had their pay docked b/c they arrived late to work b/c they went to vote in the morning.

"Bunch of guys obsessed with Ancient Sparta can't beat the Persians at sea" was probably one of the known-knowns, come to think of it.

This is the beautiful and powerful timeline cleanser we all need! (Thinking of my late mom who ensured my brother and I understood our responsibility to help repair the world. Grateful for the example she set in facing and overcoming countless, often horrific, adversities.)

Hello?

Lifesaving AID but only in exchange for the right quota of minerals. The latest chapter of the "partition of Africa", a never ending story. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

1969: “what are we fighting for”…🤨 2026: “are we letting them do this again”

We are a secular democracy. If you don't like the freedom of religion, you are welcome to move somewhere else. In America, you can be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or anything else. It's written into our Constitution. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Get lost with this garbage.
