Illustration of Gandalf from Lord of the Rings standing overlooking water. Text reads “"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring”

Headline from the independent: Trump gives rambling speech about trophy wives, golf and the 'great late' Al Capone in politically-charged West Point address

You could have had student debt forgiveness, an economy that is the envy of the world, climate action, a middle class tax cut, affordable child care & so much more had you elected the brilliant Black Asian Female candidate and a Democratic Congress.

Instead you get recession, tyranny and misery.

If you'd like to see and hear @hcrichardson.bsky.social deliver her blow-by-blow account of the lighting of the lamps in the Old North Church – where she gave this address – and the Ride of Paul Revere 250 years ago, someone did us the service of recording it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv5l...

Also, anyone worried Trump’s legacy will be as anything other than an abject failure whose grave will reek of ammonia for a thousand years can rest easy.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

The Nonviolent Movement That's Hitting Elon Musk Where It Hurts Most Here's how to get involved with #TeslaTakedown events around the country

"We know from history that lots of people speaking up together—peacefully and bravely—is the best way to resist authoritarian regimes that want to take away our freedom." Thanks for inviting us to The Big Picture, @toddbeeton.bsky.social! #teslatakedown thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/tesla-take...

Everybody remember what happened in the US election. Kamala looked like she would win, but she didn't because there was a small turnout.

We CAN NOT mess this up! Get out and VOTE on election day!

We can not hand out country to PP, because he'll hand it to Trump. Vote like your life depends on it!

Musk is positioned to profit off billions in new government contracts.

This is the swamp.

Democrats raise millions for Florida special elections in Trump territory Democrats Gay Valimont and Josh Weil raised a combined $15.7 million ahead of their April 1 special elections, but they still face uphill climbs in the ruby-red districts.

Will you two please bring the tour to Florida THIS WEEK #FightOligarchy to help us win these two critical April 1st house races? Districts 1 & 6, heavily Republican. One was Gaetz's seat. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @jbf1755.bsky.social will you please repost?

If I ever lose my fucking mind I want the New York Times to write about it because they’ve shown they can make a batshit crazy person seem normal

And I’ve said over and over—I want to be on the court to protect the people of Wisconsin…

"the Trump regime is a Cybertruck, meant to look aggressive and intimidating, a bully car, but also one sloppily made to low standards, one that falls apart as it goes, with pieces that can be yanked off by hand. It shouts that it's strong, but it's weak." @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

Coming Unglued: Week Eight of the Stupid Coup (and the Stalwart Resistance) Spring is here and so is authoritarianism, and I recommend your serious attention to both. We may be at this resistance business for a while, so take care of yourself so you can keep taking care of hu...

Virtually every Cybertruck — those freaky Tesla vehicles made to look like aggression incarnate – has been recalled, because, literally, they come unglued. What a metaphor for this regime: a weak vehicle trying to look tough, a victim of its own cheapness, an ugly toy falling apart.
