genuine laugh out loud upon seeing this as the best they have for trumps accomplishments. say what you will about biden but he actually passed some decent shit lol

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

this is just a level of sickness that i don’t think any society can come back from

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

I.R.S. Agrees to Share Migrants’ Tax Information with ICE The agreement is a major departure from the Internal Revenue Service’s efforts to gain the trust of migrants and encourage them to file their taxes.

Breaking News: The IRS agreed to share information with ICE to help locate people for deportation, court records show. This is a fundamental change in the IRS, which had gained the trust of migrants and encouraged them to file their taxes.

my offer to america: we bring woke back

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

slapping a "i bought this before icarus fell" sticker on my pair of wax wings

We are very far over the cliff here, folks

A true heater 48 hours for The Onion, in my unbiased opinion.

This is one hundred percent a case of a man completely obsessed with the idea of tariffs being told "no, bad" by every single smart person around him, and the flip to "it's gonna cause some pain" rhetoric was when they finally got through to him.

But his stupid stubborn ego won't let him back down.

Tweet from @dril with an edit. Original says: “Food $200 Data $150 Rent $800 Candles $3,600 Utility $150 someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying” The edit is that the candles line is crossed out and replaced with “Tariffs: $6 trillion”

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

I feel that if, in 2010, you had told me that Citizens United would lead to someone literally giving oversized $1 million checks to voters in exchange for their votes, I would have called you a delusional conspiracy theorist. And I would have been wrong.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

The U.S. is crumbling and huge swaths of the population are in a sort of a trance where they only care about which female celebrity is being smeared on social media this week

Friday again Garfie baby

YouTube video by Polyphonic We need to talk about Prog Soul

Can I do a recco of someone else’s reccos? @polyphonic.nebula.tv just did a banger of a video on prog soul which has lots of funk overlap: youtu.be/ACtro09SHMY?...

“I’m doing good things,” I tell myself as I delete the military service of a dead woman. “I’m still a good person.”

It's critical to keep naming these losses, not in the spirit of "can you believe what they're doing," but to remember what's being lost. I've taught students from countries that erase the past, and they're stunned to learn of major events in their own countries. That's the fascist goal here.

Vic and The Fourth Witch wish you a Happy St. Patrick's Day

pretty good representation of the mask off era here

A Fulbright scholar flees the county after ICE came looking for her - per NYT her social media activity was liking pro-Palestine posts.

We are in deep, folks.

One thing everyone should understand is that DOGE has created the least efficient conditions for government I've ever seen.
*The working conditions are chaotic.
*No clear sense of who works there.
*Routine processes have been stopped.
*No planning can take place.
*People are incredibly demoralized.

That ebullient mood has been rudely shattered by Trump's first weeks in office. The bewildering volatility of the president's policymaking - as tariffs are threatened, withdrawn, ratcheted up and then dialled back again - is raising corporate uncertainty, dampening sentiment, and prompting recession warnings. "At Davos all the glib bankers were saying party time, here we go, deregulation, low taxes, M&A boom, IPO boom," says the chief executive of a global investor with $200bn in assets under management. "This has completely backfired in their faces." The predicted slowdown is remarkable in that it is largely a self-inflicted wound driven by the administration's own policies, economists say, rather than the consequence of external shocks such as energy price surges, war, pandemics or banking implosions.

This sort of quote is something else man. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say other global elites see the American elite that were enthusiastic about Trump as total rubes.
