She says without irony...

How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation As an Australian who wrote about the demonstrations while on campus, I gave my phone a superficial clean before flying to the U.S. I underestimated what I was up against.

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional.

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

In case you needed proof that the disastrous Citizens United decision put a for sale sign on our democracy. 👇

Apparently science says that all autistic people are unemployable antisocial tragedies that destroy their families.
That's all the science we need in 'merica apparently.

What an absolute fucking shit stain of a human. I don't think he has met an autistic person.
His bs that increased autism rates are NOT related to broader diagnostic criteria or ⬆️ awareness is also fairly fucking insulting.

Judge Xinis in Tuesday eve order homes in on key issue:

"Abrego Garcia appears to remain inexplicably detained in CECOT."

She cites text in written agreement with El Salvador showing US control: That detainees are kept in CECOT “pending the United States’ decision on their long-term disposition.”

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.

When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

Welcome to the dumbest administration

Maga man says: “I’m willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income.” Normal person responds: “you guys don’t even think fast food workers should make a livable wage”

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

Seems to me what we’re seeing across the federal government are the dividends being paid from years of adopting market language to talk about public goods. Run government like a business? Businesses exist to make profit. Government exists to serve the people. We’re about to see the difference now.

We are living in the dumbest timeline

Government AI, defending DOGE and more: Takeaways from Elon Musk’s three-hour interview with Joe Rogan The wide-ranging interview between the two prominent Trump supporters comes as Musk remakes the federal government.

Musk states "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy". Charles Darwin, who actually researched this stuff, showed it was empathy, specifically, that enabled humanity to flourish.

Gods this is painful

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

This is 100% bullshit. There are no algorithms. Musk and his incel clown posse are not forensic accountants and do not know how to audit. Discovering fraud is a labor-intensive project that can never be done by looking at payments alone. This is just a thinly-veiled rationale to gut Social Security.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Seriously. They lost their minds when a Black woman planted a garden & encouraged exercise.
But now they worship a brain worm that shut down cancer research & vaccines.

Yeah, let's keep destroying the things that make America unique

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

America is abandoning all of its alliances and trading partners... We are on track to become one of those third world countries trump likes to dunk on

Trump and Zelenskyy through the years: From a 'perfect' call to an Oval Office meltdown The first time Donald Trump spoke to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, he tried to pressure Ukraine’s new leader to dig up dirt on Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 election

How any self respecting americans or "christians" can defend trump, I will never understand

Tim Snyder brilliantly analyzes what this bit of Trump’s lunacy yesterday revealed:

One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy.

“It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”
