The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

This made me lol because I don’t want to keep crying. What a clusterfuck we are living through.

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

We are fucking monsters.

So many steps. But so worth it.

Looks fantastic!

Israel under Netanyahu is monstrous.

Dropsite reports “Black rain” + “nuclear winter” caused by Israeli strikes on oil depots in Tehran

- chemicals are producing acidic precipitation that causes skin burns + severe lung damage on contact

- the rain is corrosive + could damage structures

- heavy metals leaking into soil/water systems

Lebanon’s Ministry of Health reports 394 people died since Monday from Israeli attacks.

22 percent of those are children. That’s 86 children in a week.

If you can't even manage to wipe the stupid smirk off your face while writing about a war that started with 160 children being bombed in a school, it's time to start thinking about the decisions that led you here.

Beyond evil and disgusting.

Don't let anyone tell you we can't afford free college ($95B/year) or free child care ($100B-$200B/year).

You could do all that and have plenty left over for free in-home care ($60B/year) for seniors.

Senator mocked ‘green energy crap.’ His house runs on it. Montana Republican Tim Sheehy voted to scrap solar tax credits after installing panels and battery storage at his Bozeman home.

Oh look the Senator that broke a the arm of Veteran protesting the war a few days ago is also a green energy hypocrite www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

‘There’s a better future here’: Lunar New Year festivities bring hope to Portland’s Chinatown The annual dragon dance and parade in Portland’s Chinatown exposes families to cultural celebrations, brings hope for the area that has been “neglected,” people said.

Wow! Beautiful!

“An organization like FAFO could allow prosecutors to trade research on novel legal theories designed to head off immunity arguments, share recommendations for expert witnesses, and even help strategize on how to sue the federal government to access evidence or get a case back into state court. It could facilitate collaboration between prosecutors in neighboring counties both subjected to CBP and ICE deployments, or between a local DA and their state AG. “A lot of what we’re looking at has not been tried yet in the court system,” Conover said. “Rather than each one of us facing something, God forbid, like Minneapolis and finding ourselves having to invent the wheel, we can do it together.””

Post of Enrique Tarrio with Marco Rubio. Tarrio is the former leader of the Proud Boys and a pardoned J6 seditionist

Is it bad that our Sec. of State is hanging out with a Proud Boys seditionist?

Trump’s war of choice in Iran has already cost us $5 BILLION. All while he’s gutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of Americans.

LINDSEY GRAHAM: Israel and the United States -- you just wait to see what comes the next two weeks

BARTIROMO: Meaning what?

The legacy & lessons of the 1964 Freedom Summer. And what we can learn from it As the Trump administration clamps down on civil rights and Americans push back with protests like “No Kings,” there’s value in reflecting on the Freedom Riders of the 1960s and how their movement suc...

In order to move ahead, sometimes it’s helpful to look back. The Freedom Riders showed how a painstaking movement can evolve and succeed. @brotherjones.bsky.social says now “it’s upon us to pick up that torch and say the Civil Rights Movement is not just in the history books.” #Velshi

Trump pardoned every single insurrectionist. Every single one.

Just a reminder that Tillis is a Republican not running for reelection. If every Republican not up for reelection threatened to withhold their votes, Miller would be out of the White House today.

The fact that Miller is the de facto president is a choice the GOP is making, not Trump.

Y'alls next problem is thinking that it was worth it to help someone like trump get elected because Harris wouldn't bend the knee to your exact demands.

Even Gazans told y'all "anyone but trump". But y'all leftists want to still pretend you know better instead of admitting you fucked up bad.

It is! Makes you want to keep going!

A pile of small crocheted granny squares of different variegated yarns, in several shades of blue, and a hot pink with speckles of shite, gold, and turquoise.

I crochet a bit and enjoy it, but I haven’t done anything except basic granny squares. I started making a scrappy throw while caring for my mom, then continued it as I took care of my dad. The squares are tiny and I need another 200+ but it is too emotional to revisit. It is hibernating for a while.
