I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Aww, Jon Stewart reads BlueSky comments! #constitutionalcrisis @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social www.threads.net/@thedailysho...

“I voted for him but I didn’t vote for this to happen” is sort of like saying “I ordered a hamburger, why the fuck have you brought me a ground beef patty in between two buns”

I mean, it really does all trace back to Newt Gingrich.

* HHS SPOX: SECOND CHILD WITH MEASLES HAS DIED IN TEXAS // HHS SECY KENNEDY EXPECTED TO ATTEND FUNERAL SUNDAY (via @nbcnews.com)

“These are normal, everyday people who are saying I’ve had enough. I’ve seen institutions fall. I’ve seen universities, I’ve seen businesses, I’ve seen law firms not stand up, not support our liberal democracy. So what am I going to do as an individual?” “That’s what tomorrow is about.” - Ezra

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

"My message to the rest of the Democratic Party is if you are not willing to meet that bar, then step aside for somebody who will. Because we're at a moment right now where we do need people who are willing to fight, willing to show some spine, willing to break through in this media environment."

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

More of this, please.

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

Thank goodness there’s at least one adult left in the room.

my favorite kind of lib are the guys who are like “DONT LET HIM DISTRACT YOU! he crashed the economy on purpose to draw attention away from covfefe”

Wall Street bets discord is so goddamn funny right now

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Wow, ok, this put a huge lump in my throat this morning. You know the 4 US soldiers who died in Lithuania? (Video in linked post.) HUNDREDS of Lithuanians showed up to pay their respects. Rump played golf.

I read a lot of political thrillers. WEEKS ago, I said to my husband that what was happening in our country was just way, way, too much for one book. No editor would approve all of this.

Going forward, I am hereby banning the word “calorie.”

“Lizard brain hate action”—this is indeeed a better descriptor of Trump’s actions than “4D chess.” The guy can’t even play regular chess.

The administration is trying to destroy free speech and freedom of the press. The White House Correspondents Association does not want to offend them while they're doing it. Sad days when journalists are the ones greasing the slippery slope to fascism.

What people want from Democrats is clear: They want elected Ds to acknowledge we’re in an emergency and 2. act like it. It’s not complicated.

Apparently not trusting me to make my 3rd cup of coffee & return to the couch without getting distracted with some adulting, James decided to supervise.

Chuck Schumer right now:

Hypocritical Misogyny!! Pic From Way Back When. And The Fight Goes on.

It’s borderline criminal.

Exactly this.

@popl-pnw.bsky.social Who is organizing this protest? I’d love to share with the Neighborhood Leaders in my House District, but need to be able to tell them who is organizing (if it’s independent, that’s fine too).

BREAKING!!! TRANS AGENDA BRUTALLY EXPOSED. 1. Exist 2…. Thats’s it. That’s literally our agenda. 🩵🩷🤍

"Kansas senator’s rural town hall meeting swamped by people mad at Trump administration" lawrencekstimes.com/2025/03/01/k...

“I haven’t read Project 2025”—US Rep Harshbarger, R-TN Then DO YOUR JOB and get a briefing on it to find out what’s coming next and why.

With economic inequality, “things turn nasty …. The losers seek scapegoats. The politics of interest group management turn into a zero-sum battle … The past also tells us to beware of the West at times of stark and growing inequality. It rarely ends well.” @edwardluce.bsky.social bit.ly/41tQN92

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Political action works. Good reporting works. Laying out what Trump and Musk are actually doing works. Keep standing up. Keep fighting back.

“But it was assigned Gulf of Mexico at birth…”

Congressman Buddy (not making that up) introduced a bill to “acquire” Greenland and rename it “Red, White, and Blueland.” This is like in Despicable Me when Gru decides to steal the moon. Just cartoon villain things.

More of this look, please. (This is his CoS right when he announced his plans for Mar-a-Gaza.)

One of the most important websites in America right now.

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

“We’re in the middle of an authoritarian administrative coup.” — OR Senator Jeff Merkley on Threads today. It is not ENOUGH, but it is IMPORTANT that our elected officials name what is happening. If yours hasn’t yet, this would be a great subject for a phone call.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Same was true in Poland

my large adult son has discovered the cruel trick at the heart of human existence

Everybody thinks it’s gonna be later, and it’s gonna be somebody else. But it’s not. It’s now, and it’s you.

The flagged words in the full list include "women" and "female," which makes it seem like this would encompass an *awful* lot of research?

The United States built the largest and most fruitful scientific enterprise the world has ever seen, acquiring great prosperity and stability as a result. And now fascists are tearing it all down. Censoring scientists, deleting data, purging institutions. A tremendous loss.
