Don’t let this fade away

What if the new Superman movie actually taught MAGA that being "Woke" is just being kind and empathetic, and that Fox News has been hatemongering on Christlike behavior all along?

The people who used to call themselves the "Moral Majority" did this. Guess they don't even need to pretend anymore.

You can always count on The New York Times to minimize the scale and impact of protest. Yesterday's 2000+ No Kings actions smashed records for the most demonstrations in a single day. So the Times decided to publish a horseshit map of just a handful of "confirmed locations." We're not fooled.

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

No Kings

Come on. How many of you needed Elon Musk to tell you Trump was on Epstein's list? Sheesh!

at times like these I am reminded of my commitment to keep saying that lying should be politically and socially costly

In Man Up, Cynthia Miller-Idriss is revealing how an epidemic of misogyny—both online and off—and a patriarchal backlash are driving an exponential rise in mass and far-right violence. She also offers essential strategies that all of us can use to fight the rising tide of violence.

Just read the full Atlantic article about the Houthi group chat. One part that stuck with me is when they say “God Bless” and send prayer emojis to each other after killing 53 people who they considered enemies because they killed others in the name of their God.

Important note about this breakthrough: Literally would not exist without the kind of Federal support the current administration is slashing. Took 15+ years of research at a federal lab (Lawrence Berkeley) to get this to a point at which private enterprise could take over and make these at scale.

Trump must resign.

Okay. So it's obvious Rubio is not happy. This is what a man looks like when he removes his spine.

Americans are with Ukraine. Who the hell is Donald Trump?

Trump yelled at Zelenskyy, interrupted him, told him to stop talking, knocked him on the shoulder at one point. Zelenskyy came back at him, tried to interrupt back. By the end, Zelenskyy was sullen in his seat and Trump was red in the face, yelling about Obama and Hunter Biden.

Jesus, Trump and JD Vance playing bad cop-bad cop with Zelensky is stomach churning here.

New in PN: MAGA's Orwellian notion of "free speech" "What MAGA celebrates as 'free speech' is typically rightwing propaganda. While this alienates America from our allies, it perfectly aligns the administration with autocratic regimes in places like Russia."

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

80 years ago today: Marines raise the flag on Iwo Jima. We in the pro-democracy camp fight for the America that won World War II, and for the America that after the war worked to further advance the American idea. We know what side we would have been on 80 years ago, and what side we're on today.

If anyone would like to weigh in on Hillsdale College's "National Opinion Survey" on #CriticalRaceTheory #CTR #DEI #BLM #Atheist -- Here's the link to let 'em know what you think! info.hillsdale.edu/crt-survey/?...

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Does anyone know who took over the US Department of Education’s social media handles and is using them to spread highly Trumpy, partisan alt-right propaganda? What’s up, @usedgov.bsky.social? #education #teach #library #kidlit

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

I like that he posted a picture of a print-out of the email.

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Christian Taliban anyone?

Democracy & the rule of law

A convicted felon who undermines institutions endangers the very foundation of a free society. Protest is not merely an act of dissent; it is a vital mechanism of accountability, a declaration that the people will not be ruled by fear.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

On his first day at DOD, Pete Hegseth ordered the military to suspend all recognition of holidays like MLK Jr’s Birthday, Holocaust Remembrance Day, Black History Month, Juneteenth,Women’s Equality Day, National Hispanic Heritage Month Pride Month, & National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

So far the war on so-called "DEI" - has come for - women at the CIA who want to get together and celebrate women spies - people at the Defense Intelligence Agency who want to observe...Holocaust Remembrance Day. - apparently, any federal celebration of...Black History Month.

Serious question: can the president just spend all his time in office suing people and then use the litigation as a "legal" way of accepting bribes via "settlements"?

As usual, this is precisely the opposite of what it pretends it plans to do. What the White House wants to put in place IS RADICAL RIGHT WING INDOCTRINATION IN K-12 SCHOOLING. Study fascist history, folks. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

General Strike before it's too late.

“Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead," Biden said. https://buff.ly/40EublK

The Trump Administration. Making Rape Acceptable Again. #Hegseth

In 1976, the Supreme Court declared it a constitutional violation to make partisan loyalty a requirement for a job by a civil servant. Trump of course already violating the Constitution even before taking office.

#EmbarrassmentInChief 🤮

2025 begins the way 2024 ended. Me unsubscribing to more billionaire-owned megaphones cowering under Trump's threats and jockeying for favors. Goodbye Zuck. I hope all you billionaires all enjoy fighting over the same hate driven 30% of Americans.
