Trump to his followers: Well, if a person complains about me too much and they die, then so be it. Wink wink.

So. If you can now afford 34 or 35 less dolls for your children, what happens if you used to only be able to afford 2 loaves of bread? You eat -34 or -35 loaves? This is why you don’t have to hand it to fascists.

Every time Harrison Butker misses a field goal a woman gets her PHD

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

Wait. What?

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

NEW: After one of Kristi Noem’s major financial supporters contacted her, the DHS chief quickly expedited more than $11 million of federal money to rebuild a historic pier in Naples, Florida, records obtained by ProPublica show.

Current status: SCREAMING INTO THE ABYSS

I just can’t even. So 👏🏼 many 👏🏼 women 👏🏼 are 👏🏼 going 👏🏼 to 👏🏼 needlessly 👏🏼 suffer 👏🏼 He can fuck all the way off. And next time he gargles orders for a Diet Coke, someone please tell him it’s too much liquid.

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

I’d rather risk skydiving without a parachute than risk following any political party Musk cooks up.

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

that clever president trump, he is ALWAYS coming up with things no one has ever thought of before! see also, groceries

Something I am thinking about right now is that a 3 million dollar program that allows abused women to take their pets with them to domestic violence shelters is about to be cut because “we don’t have the money” but the government is about to spend 1000000000x more than that to bomb people

If you give conservatives an inch, they will run over your body, drag it a mile, burn it, spit on it, then leave it to the media vultures to pick clean.

I quite quit my dad years ago. From experience, I learned that pointing out the ways he hurt me only resulted in him hurting me more. Why make a big exit? If he had an ounce of self awareness, he would ask how he may have contributed. I’d guess the signs are there, but no one is looking.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

So, while he was in Qatar, while the peace talks were taking place in Turkey, while he was theoretically trying to persuade Iran to renew the nuclear-peace deal he cancelled, and while he was theoretically trying to broker a Gaza peace, the president was posting about whether Taylor Swift is “hot”

If I’m not allowed to give my daughter 30 dolls for Christmas, I don’t think Trump should be allowed to accept a gold plated jet. I mean, we all have to hang tough for the economy, right?

This statistic blew my mind

Well. Yes. 👀

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Byeeeeeee Dick.

Hegseth needs to be fired. The intel he shared via Signal, including to his wife, was sent to him on a secure channel. He knowingly exposed our pilots to unnecessary danger with his show boat antics.

A small upshot to the hell we’re living in. The less small dick energy vehicles on the road, the better.

It felt weird that this whole “all female” stunt yesterday induced rage in me. This. Is. Why.

We are at the mercy of people who have never taken anything seriously & think you're a boring asshole for expecting them to

Famously, the way to beat fascist bullies is to flop onto your back and say “my vital organs are exposed, take what you want.” Certainly they will stop at the first vital organ.

Durbin is my senator. I sent an email this morning and put it on my list to call on Monday. If these are your senators: CALL THEM. PERSONALLY EMAIL THEM. MAKE SURE THEY KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING AND WILL VOTE IN PRIMARIES.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

"tree equity" is the kind of thing that columnists like to make fun of when why it works is actually instantly apparent to anyone who's ever walked down a street in the summer apnews.com/article/tree...

Fun fact about me: I’ve watched my brother slide further and further to the right. I can confirm this, because my brother has used real, actual words to say he wants to go back to a time when women stayed home and men had authority over the home.

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

Make America Healthy Again…. Only if you’re a billionare.

if the president’s lackeys can functionally seize control of treasury funds and dismantle a congressionally-created agency without consequence, it’s not that it’s a constitutional crisis as much as it means the constitution is vapor.

The rules, if you are keeping track: If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever. If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

Says the man who didn’t even win 50% of the popular vote.

I know a lot of progressive folks that think Amber Heard is the villain of the story and it boggles my mind. The manosphere did a bang up job on this one. Thanks, @michaelhobbes.bsky.social - I’m be bookmarking this one to use as Exhibit A. michaelhobbes.substack.com/p/the-bleak-...

Nothing to see here. Just a President Elect trying to bully the press and journalists into submission.
