Mr. Trump said "We could have much better health care than we have right now."

No kidding.

20+ million will see their premiums double. 15 million thrown off health care entirely.

Pres. Trump, in case you didnโ€™t know, this is what the shutdown is about.

End your health care cuts.

Full image fanart illustration of a painting of the character 'Lady' from the Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends film 'Thomas and the Magic Railroad.'  The setting is a brownish yellow, grassy hillside with small red and white flowers dotted about. A small magenta steam locomotive with four wheels, a purple roof and frame, and gold smokebox and lining, with her name 'Lady' in gold script lettering on her sides is climbing the hill towards the sunrise in the background, which has fluffy pinkish-white clouds and lilac purple colored mountains with a bit of snow on their peaks. Smoke swirls out of the steam locomotive's chimney against the medium blue sky with a sun coating it in yellow from the left side. In the bottom right in script black lettering says 'In loving memory of Britt Allcroft' - indicating it is for the passed on creator of the television series adaptation of Thomas the Tank Engine a.k.a. The Railway Series books.

A very late tribute to the late Britt Allcroft, but after the recent auction, I was inspired to do my own version of the famous Lady painting from Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
I'm very satisfied with the end result. It's exactly how I wanted it.

Super Ed feels like one giant shitpost of a episode. I can definitely see why Britt decided to can the episode, but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't laugh.

Newsom still has more to grow, but community pressure on him has seemed to finally make progress. Here he is, apologizing to the trans community.

When I talked to state Sen. Scott Wiener, it was clear that even his allies have been caught off guard by his rhetoric, who have heard from many of you.

the post office is a public service. it doesnโ€™t need to make money. public transit doesnโ€™t need to make money. the library doesnโ€™t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and heโ€™s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Letโ€™s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Israelโ€™s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldnโ€™t live here | George Monbiot Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide โ€“ and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

When you consider the *ecocide* alongside the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli stateโ€™s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland.

Tariq Habash: Before I resigned, Jon Finer was the guy who said to me (and others) that we had credible intelligence that there was a Hamas military base in Al Shifa hospital, days before Israelโ€™s incursion that led to the deaths of premature babies in incubators.

Even if that intelligence was right (it absolutely wasnโ€™t, remember the ridiculous Israeli walkthrough video as โ€œevidenceโ€), you still donโ€™t have a right to kill babies.

from the sole Palestinian-American in Biden admin who resigned in protest in Jan 2024. he didn't work in foreign policy (was a political appointee in dept of education) so I guess it was nice of Jon Finer to reach out to him personally with obscene lies justifying Israel bombing Gaza's hospitals.

If youโ€™re rich and not a coward, this is what youโ€™d refer to as a โ€œmarket opportunityโ€ to dominate a media ecosystem thatโ€™s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

Thereโ€™s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of whatโ€™s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

Becoming increasingly clear weโ€™re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Beware the Centrist Dweebs Trying to Ape Zohran Mamdani All over the country, young Democratic candidates are running seemingly Mamdani-style campaigns. But check the fine print.

For @thenation.com, I wrote about the trend of young Democratic candidates attempting to duplicate the aesthetics of the Zohran campaign, without the ideological foundation, economic populism, or authenticity that made it successful.
