Folds on the Kennedy Center 3 weeks ago: I was sick to my stomach when I quit because I knew they were going to run it into the ground. No one that they were appointing had any experience in arts administration, but that was never the point. The point was to take that, run over it, and move on.

The conservatives used to shut down the government over a few hundred million dollars. Seriously.

Yet Trump blows billions and sues the govt for billions and gets a “free” jet from Qatar that the govt will spend a billion on then let him take it with him… and not a peep.

Elon doing great, why do you ask?

We have to start focusing on humanity. Not enriching shareholders at the expense of the world. We have to reclaim our dignity and self respect because a handful of ppl despise mankind because they have a hole in themselves that they will never be able to fill.

This is the moment in time we live in. Tax every billionaire out of existence. They'll be just fine with 999,999,999 dollars

BREAKING: Hundreds of Asheville High School students walk out of class to demand a general strike, joining the national shutdown today to protest ICE operations and Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda.

I stayed home from work today to participate. No work! No shopping! ABOLISH ICE! ABOLISH THE US GESTAPO!

Park City High School students were out in front of the school Friday morning, as part of a national day of walkouts and a general strike to protest the Trump Administration’s crackdown on immigrants in Minnesota.

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

This is terrible. It is also an opportunity for certain journalists to finally speak up with a *fraction* of the courage the people of Minneapolis have shown. It is also instructive that Lemon is Black. Woe/pox etc upon white journalists who don’t freak out about this.

Federal Agents Arrest Don Lemon Over Minnesota Church Protest

A truly unacceptable assault on the First Amendment.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Arresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

Attorney General Pamela... * @AGPamBondi X.com At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon. 8:09 AM • 1/30/26 • 35K Views 384 0 565 2K 49

interested to learn what “at my direction” means because it sounds like “without a warrant”

UPDATE: We're told U.S. Citizen Matthew James Obadiah Allen has been released after being attacked/detained yesterday by Trump's immigration agents...

He repeatedly screamed "I can't breathe" and requested ambulance as a swarm of agents pinned him down⬇️ bsky.app/profile/stat...

🚨"YOU'RE ALL UNDER ARREST" An ominous announcement can be heard on border patrol's radio just moments after their agents THREW Status Coup's reporter Tina-Desiree Berg, and deployed tear and flash bang grenades at the press indiscriminately.⬇️

Reporter: Will Stephen Miller be apologizing to the family of Alex Pretti for calling him an assassin?

Leavitt: This incident remains under investigation.

for those unfamiliar, this is a bit like if someone stated an AI takeover for the film industry is imminent and backed it up with "jurassic park included a fully cgi t-rex in 1993"

Protesters stand with their signs outside of Tesla in Alhambra, California. Inflatable Elon Musk is present.

An Onion front page with the headline: Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice Who will stand up for our democracy? This question, fraught in even the most peaceful times, has only grown more pressing as our country approaches its 250th anniversary. Each passing day brings growing assaults on essential liberties like freedom of speech and due process. Meanwhile, our delicately assembled legal system faces a constant barrage of threats. Even as this issue reaches publication, the U.S. military has been deployed against peaceful protesters. We teeter on the brink of collapse into an authoritarian state. That is why, today, The Onion calls upon our lawmakers to sit back and do absolutely nothing. Members of Congress, now more than ever, our nation desperately needs your cowardice. Our republic is a birthright, an exceedingly rare treasure passed down from generation to generation of Americans. It was gained through hard years of bloody resistance and can too easily be lost. Our Founding Fathers, in their abundant wisdom, understood that all it would take was men and women of little courage sitting in the corridors of power and taking zero action as this precious inheritance was stripped away—and that is where we have finally arrived. Now is not the time for bravery or valor! This is the time for protecting your own hide and lining your pocket. Now is not the time for listening to your idiotic constituents drone on about what’s happening to their precious democracy. This is the time for getting down on all fours and grov- eling. Now is not the time to say, “Enough is enough,” and have the tough conversations about resisting the ongoing assaults on American liberty. This is the time to let the wave of apathy and indifference roll over you as you think about getting a really nice renovation to your house in Kalorama. But what can I, one coward, do alone? you might ask.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.

That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:

Sit back and do absolutely nothing.
