this is such a half-assed defense. corruption is typically associated with the use of one’s “legal” or “constitutional” authority!

they arrested a comedian for singing in a giraffe costume

I legitimately think grandpa’s aides and advisors are showing him AI videos that are breaking his addled brain

it is not illegal to fund protests

going out of your way as a party to talk about how extreme and terrible the protests will be is such an odd strategy. you’re drawing more attention to the protests and then you will seem like morons when it’s literally just millions of normal people at them

“no kings equals no paychecks” is such a dumb counter, it’s almost admirable. we won’t pay you unless you let us install a king!

they are demanding that people accept their unhinged fantasies to justify their authoritarian actions. we cannot cede reality to these people

the administration and Fox News are working overtime to keep their followers fenced into an anti-reality pigpen. they are justifying cruelty, destruction, and authoritarianism with complete fantasies

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

this is arbitrary and capricious governance in action this hurts all parties and helps virtually no one

it looks like the Minnesota PUC is poised to approve the acquisition of ALLETE by BlackRock, which portends to be potentially disastrous for ratepayers and clean energy goals in Minnesota the work continues

great idea to prove you’re not fascists by arresting people who say “stop the fascists”

every republican president of my lifetime has completely destroyed the economy

We are ceding leadership and the rest of the world is moving on. I’m happy that other countries are taking climate change seriously but its very dishesrtening to see us tether ourselves to the past at tremendous cost. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/c...

“left-wing political violence is out of control”

again, one party unequivocally condemns political violence while the other does not. and that is very bad for the country

we need comprehensive gun control laws and unequivocal condemnation of political violence. unfortunately we have a major political party holding the reins of power that doesn’t believe in either of those goals

shocked it isn’t ambassador to Turkey

rather than being damning and disqualifying, this is something one can probably highlight on their resume to work in this administration

using wildfire containment as a venue for haphazard immigration enforcement is just one of the many new heights of immorality we’ve seen from this administration you can’t say “well if you’re legal then you don’t need to worry” when we have seen citizens and legal residents abused and harassed

There's a "national emergency" somewhere. We're just not sure, but we'll figure it out soon & send in the troops. Somewhere, to be sure, with a bunch of Black people. Just wildly unconstitutional, immediate presidency-ending stuff, & yet here we are for the One Special Boy bsky.app/profile/mcop...

incredible that the Secretary of DOE says he is most worried about rising electricity costs while nearly every action taken by DOE and other parts of the admin will clearly raise electricity prices thehill.com/policy/energ...

it’s interesting how conservatives argue they need limitless access to guns to guard against government tyranny yet they are happily licking boots as the military is sent to terrorize their fellow citizens

and Republicans in power will once again tell us that there is nothing they can or will do to stop this

why use cyberattacks and espionage to meddle in our country’s elections when you can just peddle your misinformation by blowing smoke up this guy’s ass? what an embarrassment

this is what people mean when they say “billionaires are a policy failure”

no surprise that the party of Confederate sympathizers wants to wage war on their fellow citizens

just taking the “crackdown on crime” justification at face value, eh?

he’s drained the swamp and filled it with sewage

they’re going to destroy the Earth and tell us that it’s getting greener

the opening message of the new ICE recruitment page could work well as an ad for voting Democrat

it seems Trump read Aristotle and took all the wrong lessons from it en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural...

it is and always has been infuriating when we make policy that harms millions of people because of the tiniest fraction of a fraction of people who *might* mooch off of a government service

up is down. carbon dioxide is good for you. polluted water gives you super powers. burning coal is clean.

government-mandated speech

in just a few months we’ve gone from “we’re going to release the files!” to “we are going to pardon a convicted child sex trafficker”

government-mandated speech

this is an insane gerrymander that makes an absolute mockery of representative democracy

it’s hard to view the administration’s energy policy as anything more than very, very expensive masculinity politics www.canarymedia.com/articles/fos...

the EPA is aggressively pulling back on regulations that will ultimately lead to more pollutants that will hurt millions of people, and instead they are focusing on…chemtrails

Defund the police: something that never really happened, but everybody talked about. Defund the scientists: something that's actually happening, but almost nobody's talking about in those terms.

fantastic and concise overview of the incoherent destruction of the growing clean energy and manufacturing industries wrought by the “Big Beautiful Bill” “energy dominance” is clearly just a cover for tethering us to coal, oil, and gas, costs be damned www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

xAI is illegally burning natural gas with impunity to power its racist propaganda machine

Trump’s pardons have cost crime victims $1.5 billion in restitution that they now will never see, mostly victims of fraud committed by his cronies. www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...

social media is breaking our brains and breaking us apart under the guise of bringing us together

I guess this isn’t a handout

impossible to overstate how dumb this is. also funny considering DOE is forcing people to pay high costs to keep uneconomic coal plants running www.utilitydive.com/news/doe-wri...
