Great idea and good comment thread. Stickers? Tshirts? Stencils?

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

Believe in truth.

To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights.

Lesson 10

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

You rock Rockville!

RFK Jr. is "like the guy you never wanted to have to partner with in science class. He thought he knew the answers and he's ultimately the guy who would light his hair on fire, and now he's lighting all of HHS on fire," says Michigan Senate candidate Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social.

We stand with @drdemetre.bsky.social and all federal workers standing a stand against the fascist regime!

He obviously hasn't walked around DC much. And thank God for the 90 year old hippies! You know it's bad it is when they are out there in walkers demonstrating alongside young folks.

Elon Musk Abandons Third Party, Builds Ties to JD Vance: WSJ Musk is reportedly "pumping the brakes" on launching a new political party and is instead cozying up to the man he views as potential heir to the MAGA throne.

The people of D.C. are not messing around. They know how dangerous this takeover is and are fighting back across the city.

They are burning our taxpayer dollars.

Money that could be going towards serving Americans is instead being thrown away for a political stunt by a wannabe dictator.

Everyone should be enraged by this—by the wastefulness, by the disregard for the Constitution, by the harm to our communities.

Gerrymandering: when data science meets moral bankruptcy.

Gerrymandering: the art of mathematically disproving majority rule.

The Dump admin is the current day red coats, and he is mad king George.

(next to an image of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez) “Lying to and screwing over working people so that they can steal from our health care and Social Security and veterans care to pay for tax cuts for the the wealthiest and bail outs for their crypto billionaire friends-there's a word for this: CORRUPTION."

Heartbreaking article on trauma White House officials deliberately inflicted on federal workers.

Russell Vought is behind this cruelty—don’t forget his name.

Fed fam & beyond: You matter. You’re not alone. If you’re struggling, call 988 for support.

How DOGE’s grand plan to remake Social Security is backfiring The agency is abandoning an initiative aimed at preventing fraud, the latest example of a failed effort by Elon Musk’s disruptive cost-cutting team.

Have questions about vaccines and how they are tested? Look no further:

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption.

Breathtaking. Heartbreaking.

We cannot let this stand.
