why alternatives to reeducation camps exist

the NH Advantage is a school voucher program that costs more that $100 million while the capital city's school district faces a $17 million budget deficit

growing up, I had an aunt/uncle who would buy the ugliest sweater they could find for xmas, and I'd have to wear it every time they came around trump is the embodiment of that

For all these dudes’ blustery fist-pounding about strength and masculinity, at the end of the day they are fragile little man-children.

Obviously, things are bad in Texas for trans people, but I gotta say that I think the anger being directed at Ben here is a bit misplaced?

Hegseth spent nearly $100,000 on a grand piano, and Trump surrogates continue to talk about waste and fraud in social safety net programs

There's only 2 countries in the world with illegal unchecked Nuclear Weapons. North Korea and Israel. One of these countries has attacked 9 countries in the last 2 years and is committing a genocide. It isn't North Korea.

when a large number of people working for the president feel the need to go into hiding because of threats, you'd think it would dawn on them that maybe their policies aren't very popular

The College Republicans of America have named Kai Schwemmer as the organization's political director. Schwemmer is an avowed and overt supporter of racist antisemitic white nationalist Nick Fuentes. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Marco Rubio's BFF is an accused foreign agent and money launderer. His trial is about to start — and Rubio is on the witness list. My @vanityfair.com story on the legal bomb that's poised to go off in Trumpland. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/m...

Abughamentum!!!

This is becoming a pattern: in January, two DOGE employees at the Social Security Administration were referred by the DOJ for Hatch Act violations after they intended to share Social Security data with a group seeking to "overturn election results."

This has 100% happened. The DOGE boys have an unmonitored, unsecured Signal chat where they make their plans and openly exchange data that are completely illegal for them to have viewed, let alone exfiltrated.

when will global arrest warrants be issued for this obvious war crime?

18 Dems just voted *today* for Trump’s agenda. Does it make sense yet why they’re so unpopular?

@hassan.senate.gov just sent me a donation request via text Why would I give money to a lawmaker that enables trump?

15 days ago, Boston was hit with over a foot of snow. Providence got over three feet of snow. Today, it is 75°. The low on Saturday will be 32°. This is peak New England weather.

the onion newspaper is worth it for the ads

Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.

What if short stories were so back?

At least three women have come out publicly to say he has stalked them, and in some cases, have gotten orders of protection. He's a self-professed white supremacist and pardoned J6er.

the need for progressive dems to walk away from the party could not be more clear

At the Mass Statehouse with @aabbri.bsky.social, talking to reps about MA's proposed Freedom to Read bill.

gotta be another way to do this

Trump, the Commander in Chief, admitted on live TV that he has no idea how many naval ships Iran has I feel like that's a key piece of information I would find paramount before launching a war, but I'm not a military leader

Unpopular opinion: I legitimately despise the "Lindsey Graham is a self hating closeted gay/trans person" takes. It blames an already marginalized group for the actions of a cishet white man with enormous privilege and plays into a right wing narrative of queer people being violent.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." - President Dwight D. Eisenhower

It continued: Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. Why are you the only person saying this? Trump: Because I just don’t know enough about it.

When you're winning...

ICE can hack into our phones and find our home addresses. The president can't even hack into his staff members' zappos accounts to find their shoe size.

I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit

Pritzger is taking the standard democratic strategy of identifying an urgent problem and proposing it as a future policy matter if we vote the way they want us to. They're holding us hostage and it's high time for every liberal to walk away and not look back. A new day will dawn without them.

As for "we would never do that intentionally," I've got two words: boat strikes (in which at least 156 have been summarily executed without process or proof).

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch www.theverge.com/podcast/8914...

calling the bombing of a school, in which more than 100 children were murdered, an excursion get this guy off the fucking stage

Pictures emerging from today’s heavy bombing of Isfahan. Damages to the mirror works, tiles, floors, and carved wooden doors of Safavid palaces of Aali Qapu and Chehelsotoon. Both of these are within the UNESCO Heritage complex of Naqsh-e Jahan Square. These are 16th-17th century bldgs.

Imagine being in charge of America's health care safety net system and thinking* too many people* have health care.....

Karoline Leavitt is likely within the age bracket to be eligible for the draft. And I think we can all agree that we'd be willing to make that sacrifice. Freedom isn't free.

It's important to remember that the stock market is not reflective of the value of the comnpanies listed, it is a mood ring for rich people.

This is the most bread and circuses thing ever

Option 1 : stop the war

Airstrikes on the Shalamcheh border crossing in Iraq - Naya for Iraq

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

To use Hegseth-style terminology: Iran is kicking ass in lots of ways. CNN is operating in Iran with permission of the Iranian government & retains full editorial control over what it reports, with no reviews, approval, or previews prior to broadcast. edition.cnn.com/2026/03/09/w...

So far 4 truckloads of SUVs have arrived at the Whipple Bldg today. Friends, they are not leaving any time soon. Stay vigilant. And as always, Abolish ICE

A lesson for other cities: In Minnesota, as ICE moved In, residents set up a shadow medical system—& for good reason: ICE is still camped out in hospitals & ICE drones fly over Minneapolis & beyond. Doctors & nurses are quietly operating underground medical networks, dodging detection👇

CBS : The U.S. military lost two additional MQ-9 Reaper drones over Iran, raising total losses to eleven aircraft valued at over $330 million amid the ongoing conflict.

Hegseth probably fell for a rather simple and obvious fishing scam, and I could not be more entertained

reeducation camps won't work for everyone
