I’ve been expecting dems to cave from the start, but I feel like I’d have been significant less mad at them if they’d done it a month ago than I will be now. Why let all this damage be done for nothing?

Only one of these men has a criminal conviction—and his name isn’t Kilmar Garcia!

The wrong ICE is melting The wrong Amazon is burning

Happy Surprise The New Person You Met Is Religious Day

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025.

Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare.

👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

The media (as well as the entire federal government) behaves as if they know there will never be a president but Trump.

Show me where I’m wrong.

Yes, that's how you stop a guy that ignores court orders: with a court order.

My copy of "How to End Fascism" is missing the chapter on "hope the lawless despot obeys the law."

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

There is no singular "here's what to look for to know the bad thing has started." You're in it already, right now.

The best time to form a local union for community defense, whatever aesthetic that takes on for you, was yesterday.

The next best time is right now. Get ahead of this thing worsening.

The Carter Center “The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens.”

I really hope someone does the thing we’re all hoping someone does.

Me when I correct my coworkers 😂

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

if you have to like someone to respect their gender identity you're a dogshit person

@gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social I loved your appearance on Right Now!

AND YOU KNOW FUCKING WHAT, if they actually are that stupid, if there is genuinely no one on their team pulling them aside to be like "hey did you know that this is gonna kill a bunch of kids overseas" it does not matter one goddamn iota. Their intentions don't fucking matter.
IT'S HAPPENING ANYWAY.

I need people to stop calling Elon and Trump clueless. Stop calling them stupid, stop saying that they're willfully ignorant. "They didn't even realize that they cut funding for cancer research" STOP. there is no way in hell that they aren't making these choices actively & deliberately.
