“We’re gonna get the drug prices down. Not 30% or 40%, which would be great. Not 50% or 60%. No, we’re gonna get them down 1,000%, 600%, 500%, 1,500%,” Trump said at a Republican dinner. “Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.”

So, good news: we’re going to get paid to take drugs.

People getting divorced are setting up gift registries. Don't roll your eyes just yet | CBC Radio Divorce registries are just like wedding registries: lists of things that family and friends can buy someone — but in this case at the end of a marriage, not the beginning.

Why didn’t I think of that??

I’ve been spending some time today wondering what would be included in a new Declaration of Independence. It strikes me that many of the Framers’ concerns would need to be repeated.

The single most important qualification for employees in a fascist government is loyalty to the leader. Competence is a distant concern.

It’s not “Alligator Alcatraz” as much as it’s “Alligator Auschwitz.”

So I see our job now as to build our own movement and plan meticulously for the transition back to democracy whenever it comes. It’s not enough to hate Project 2025. We need our own project.

On a walk with a friend, we took comfort that 1. Trump wont live forever, 2. There doesn’t appear to be anyone in the Magaverse who can unite the rest of the party behind them, and 3. Their movement requires loyalty to Trump over competency, which will contribute to their failure. We hope.

Thanks for supporting the cause!

The Onion: Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

they never miss

I sold every single one of my comics and nearly all of my graphic novels today. It needed to happen, but I’m still sad about it.

Can’t be a Tesla. Not on fire.

I’m curious what building a resistance outside the US would look like when/if it becomes unsafe to stay. I know this has worked in other countries. Resources, please?

Again for those in the back: due process is how we define who is a criminal. Without due process it’s just “someone I don’t like”.

Trump sorta-kinda threatened to arrest Bruce Springsteen in the way he does, so his supporters can say “he was joking!” if there’s an uproar about it—but also in the way that the rest of us know he will if he can.
Wondering where outside the US will the resistance be located.

Suddenly relevant

That’s how they get you to pay for premium

Great week for Canada and Australia. If the US can just serve as an example of what not to do for the rest of the work, I guess that’s something.

Very glad to see Skidmore College President Marc Conner’s signature on this letter. I dont expect that it will achieve its purpose, but its a step towards solidarity www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...

Taking any possible chance to laugh, no matter how juvenile.

I don’t want anyone in my life who won’t condemn masked government employees grabbing people off the street and sending them to a notoriously cruel prison outside the US without any judicial oversight.
The US was founded on the idea that nobody should be able to just make folks disappear.

If glitter is the herpes of the crafting world, then couscous is the glitter of the food world.
Swear to FSM, I’m going to be picking pieces of couscous out of random places forever.

Hilarious

I’ll be 55 in mid-May. Rather than have one big party, I’d like to do a few smaller things throughout the week in/around NYC with friends, or even solo. Suggestions welcome!

Florida may loosen child-labor laws as state cracks down on illegal immigration Florida lawmakers with the support of Gov. Ron DeSantis are considering reversing some of the state’s child-labor laws, including limitations on how late and how many hours teenagers can work…

I thought this was satirical. It is not. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/03/25/f...

I assume this means any reference to Darwinism/natural selection.

That Democratic leadership aren’t screaming for blood tells you everything you need to know about how limp their resistance to Trump is.

Sec. Hillary Clinton’s candidacy was derailed for less. Hegseth should resign (but won’t); that’s not the big deal here. Signal is being used to defy the legal requirements to save communications between government employees. Historians will have a less accurate picture of Trump’s administrators.

GOP plan for government:
Cut budget -> reduce staff and services -> complain about crappy job the department provides -> justify cuts in budget. Repeat until department is destroyed

…and Trump just cut the SBA workforce by 43% while giving them more work. He really is running government like a (failing) business!
