Poll: Most feel democracy is threatened and political violence is a major problem 76% of Americans think that democracy is under a serious threat, according to the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll. And their faith in political leadership in the White House and Congress is low.

“Depriving adults and their kids of healthcare and saddling our grandkids with crippling debt is ‘immaterial’ as long as we get to keep kidnapping people with darker skin.”

What sick bastards.

I was led to believe that the two most important issues to American voters were the price of eggs and the risk of dementia in an aging president.

Hey, love Elon Musk or hate him, you must admit he deserves to be buried under 7000 tons of raw sewage. Credit where due.

Elon Musk is perpetrating a digital and financial coup. This is not hyperbole. This is not euphemism. This is what has happened. 🧵

Tweet sent out 14 hours BEFORE the DC mid air collision by Thomas Schaller on X:

“An FAA employee I know confirms agency already lacks sufficient air traffic controllers. The so-called
"buyouts" and other attacks on federal employees won't help.
Remember that fact when the flight delays (crashes?) commence and Trumpers start falsely blaming DEl or
Biden.
08:06 • 1/29/25 • 1.4M Views”

This tweet sent out 14 hours BEFORE the crash needs to be immortalized in stone.

Or on a plaque in every ATC tower.

Or on a disclaimer before every Mayday: Air Disaster episode.

Or on an Amber Alert type system to every American.

Or on a stamp.

Or maybe currency.

Something.

RFK Jr trying to distance himself from the antivax movement is like Bob Seger denouncing old time rock and roll.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration.

Big mistake. Huge.

Screenshot of a New York Times headline, Target becomes the latest brand two rollback DEI

I've had a #target debit card and a target credit card over a decade now but I'm shutting them both down. They don't get my white lady shopping dollars with this bullshit.

The Trump Administration is launching nothing less than a giant affirmative action program for straight white men, a great many of whom, including Trump and Vance, are utterly unqualified for their positions and would be mocked for their hubris if they were women or Black or gay or.....

Biologists Rip Trump’s 'Non-Sensical' Executive Order Declaring Only 2 Sexes “Clearly, this order is not fully informed by current biological science,” said Dr. Richard Bribiescas, president of the Human Biology Association.

ICYMI: I asked a bunch of biologists to weigh in on Trump's *official* definitions of "male" and "female" in his executive order declaring only 2 sexes.

They are as "nonsensical" as they are embarrassingly detached from basic human biology. www.huffpost.com/entry/biolog...

This puritanical pixie thinks Jesus's Sermon on the Mount was radical ideology.

"Blessed are the merciful." Matthew 5:7

Christian Nationalists are the least likely Americans to pay attention to Jesus. Even atheists are more likely to follow his teachings, if only inadvertently.

Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social

If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov"

The national archives is still doing its job for now.
