We needed some good news! 🏳️‍🌈

If outside moderate factionalists really want to disclaim this outcome, they should seize the whip hand in demanding accountability. Immediate new leadership elections, mid-session resignation for all Dem capitulators who would be replaced by Dem governors. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Please watch this. It is so very beautiful…. So grateful for this angel that walked out earth for a brief moment …

Leavitt: "Electricians, plumbers -- we need more of those in our country, and less LGBTQ graduate majors from Harvard University. And that's what this administration's position is."

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

Given Trump’s flagrant lawlessness, in a sane country we would’ve been talking about impeachment and removal weeks ago.

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

Ok, how about indicting Musk in Wisconsin now?

Every single Democrat in Congress should be demanding the resignation of Waltz and Hegseth. Every single one. This is a massive scandal. There should be a serious price to pay. AND THERE IS ZERO DOWNSIDE FOR EVEN THE MOST SCAREDY-CAT CONGRESSPERSON.

This man protested for democracy against the Maduro regime and came to America, where he thought he would be safe. We sent him to a gulag for it.

Read about the kids that Elon Musk has killed to punish the world for hating his own child

This, precisely, is what I think Dem voters want from their representatives: direct confrontation with people who are used to bullying others both as a matter of substance and style. You don't have to back down to these fucking clowns.

Nine seconds documenting the most rotten corruption in the history of the United States.

ITS SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY This is a very important message you should share with the people in your life that may be hitting the streets to protest: never talk to the police! WATCH:

BREAKING: Elon Musk is now trying to buy Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court majority. Election is on April 1—the first statewide election of the new Trump/Musk era. Musk wants to own state-level courts to thwart any possible check on their coup. Help us fight back. secure.actblue.com/donate/wisde...

This sounds like a not-so-safe choice “The Trump administration has started firing hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration probationary employees who maintain critical air traffic control infrastructure, according to their union. cnn.it/42Ymbxy

hi, cis folks! meet S.9. it's the senate sports ban for trans athletes—a big step to something making trump’s executive order federal law, which is much harder to undo. short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️. if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time.🧵

If you’re angry that Congress is idly standing by while Trump seizes absolute authority through brazenly illegal power grabs—restructuring the entire government around his own cruel and arbitrary whims by executive decree—you should call your representatives and tell them: 202-224-3121

This is how banana republics work: “Interim leaders at the Justice Department have spent the past week drawing up lists of people whose work at the bureau has earned disfavor with Trump for a variety of reasons.” www.cnn.com/2025/01/31/p...

There's a way sustain opposition to this assault for four years. It exists between constant, mostly impotent anger, and the @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social / @schumer.senate.gov instinct to ignore the vast majority of Trump abuses. I wrote about what it looks like here, no paywall.

NEW: Trump is not governing. He is destroying. And the response to it must be up to the destruction Trump is causing. Tonight, on day 10, at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-miss...

Appalling cruelty beyond comprehension. Trump is ordering an immediate, unlawful shutdown of PEPFAR, potentially denying life-saving HIV medication to millions of people. This guarantees a lethal, global resurgence of the HIV epidemic. Just unfathomable sadism. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/h...

Trump has revoked an executive order — signed in 1965 by LBJ — that required federal contractors to refrain from employment discrimination and take affirmative action to ensure equal opportunity "based on race, color, religion, and national origin." www.axios.com/2025/01/22/t...

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Trump will officially, formally be a convicted felon when he returns to the White House.

get every single one of these people out of leadership and put them on a farm somewhere i don’t give a shit www.msnbc.com/jonathan-cap...

Imagine if the corporate media had written as much--articles, "news analysis," full-throated columns, super-serious, dire editorials--about the shocking outrage of Trump's corrupt pardons as they have about this one Biden pardon.

i do not want supporters of a racist fascist rapist bigot anywhere near me tbh i do not think that is an unreasonable position tbh

The real trap here is that the Republicans have made defending civil rights seem like a frivolous thing and a whole lot of liberals are falling in line. Even if it was a culture war, so what? This would be a war worth fighting. What are we even doing here, people? Get it together.

all she did was exist

Note how “concerns about fairness in sports” has already transformed into unvarnished transphobic bigotry

“And to every queer person out there, especially every trans person reading this: No matter what, you need to stay alive and keep going.” www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/11/quee... #TransgenderAwarenessWeek

To state the very obvious, this would put an avowed anti-vaxxer in charge of vaccines, allowing him to thwart the development and approval of life-saving shots. It's almost too horrific to fathom—a potential death sentence for our families and children. It's lethal. www.politico.com/news/2024/11...
