Remember when Trump swore on a stack of upside down Bibles he didn’t know about Project 2025 and definitely wasn’t going to use it as his playbook? And people believed him.

Read it if you haven’t. Spoiler: the only happy ending is for the 0.1%. Everyone else gets wrecked.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

YouTube video by Robert Reich Donald Trump’s New Enemy? Our National Parks

Our national parks generated $56 billion in visitor spending and supported 415,000 jobs in 2023.

The entire National Park Service budget was just $3.6 billion.

That’s some return on investment — so why is Donald Trump taking an axe to our parks?

The Shattered King immerses you into the Kingdom of Cansere and the small world with which both Renn & Nym have lived until they come together and expand their knowledge of the universe and themselves before war comes crashing down.

Fantastic #tbt and 90s at 9 this morning.
Making me feel all nostalgic with the y100 Sonic Sessions. Time to pull out those albums for a listen tonight.

Trump and the GOP stripped clean energy incentives and gave TAX BREAKS FOR COAL.

The dirtiest source of energy we have just got rewarded – at our planet’s expense.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

Hungary banned Pride events. Thousands marched anyway. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said those who attended should face “legal consequences.”

Budapest's streets overflowed with Pride marchers on Saturday, despite the Orban regime's threats of legal consequences. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

As we drove through the city
my niece asked:
“why is that woman
in a mask?”
so I replied: “some people
try to take care of other people,”
and as we kept driving
my niece asked:
“why is that man
in a tent?”
so I replied: “not enough people
try to take care of other people.”

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

There are videos of these "agents" changing license plates, if you can get a VIN, get a VIN.

Even Mother Nature is done with Felon47’s bullshit.

Mel Brooks is making a Spaceballs Sequel!!! 🎉

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.

They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

Let me let you in on a little secret: The GOP is trying to sneak Trump’s policy wish list, aka his “One Big Beautiful Bill,” into law through a budget gimmick.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., temporarily blocked the Trump administration from further dismantling the Institute of Museum and Library Services!

Rep. Pocan on Bluesky: “As Co-Chair of @equality.house.gov, I’m excited to help reintroduce the #EqualityAct this Congress! It's time federal civil rights laws explicitly prohibit anti-LGBTQI+ discrimination. It's time for the Equality Act to become law!”

We’re proud to endorse the Equality Act and demand equal protection under the law for ALL.
