I've shared some links from Guardian coverage of today's shameful events.

(one comment because people can be stupid: the United States are the Germans here, we as a nation are the Nazis, and that is fucking sickening)

👇 "Follow the law."

This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!

Google Calendar has removed key cultural events from their site including:

• Pride Month
• Black History Month
• Holocaust Remembrance Day
• Jewish Heritage
• Hispanic Heritage
• Indigenous People Month

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

If you don't think America is corrupt, Pam Bondi, the Florida Attorney General who took a bribe, was sworn in as the US Attorney General by Clarence Thomas, a SCOTUS Justice who routinely takes bribes.

Thou shalt impeach the motherfucker.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Barthel Gilles, "Ruhrkampf"

Barthel Gilles, "Ruhrkampf." The Kapp Putsch of 1920 was defeated by ordinary Germans who mobilized for democracy. The lives lost in the Ruhr weren't lost for nothing; representative government survived for another twelve years, until the second year of the Great Depression.

Of course it’s a coup Miss the obvious, lose your republic

Of course it’s a coup

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

What is happening beggars belief, but it's happening.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Hedgehogs of the world, unite!

A gorgeous print by Fumiaki Fukita.

Hey remember when George Lucas was like “hurr durr Trade Wars” and we were like that’s so silly and he was like no wait that’s how Emperor Palpatine comes to power and we were like you are obviously dumb Jorge.

How long, O Lord, must we suffer the perfidious Boer?

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

May just buy a bunch of these books and give them to some of the students in my civil rights class lol

Excerpt: "If only we had a body, with democratic legitimacy and powers conferred by a Constitution, that could overrule a president who seeks to impose arbitrary tariffs and to deport people who fled here to escape oppression."

"It could be called the Congress of the United States."

OPINION: "People from most declining democracies and republics throughout history must have felt something similar. I’ve read letters from pre-WWII Germans who moved from 'we’re worried' to 'we’re scared,'" Kimberly Griffin writes.

Chomp chomp chomp.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

These are scary times. Maybe it wasn’t a bright idea to elect a vindictive simpleton.

The election was bought, it seems.

Karoline Leavitt tells press 'Jesus didn't have electricity either' When answering a question about the tariff war going on between the United States and Canada, the White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt referred to Jesus Christ.

Fortunately for us, when the tariff folly brings the grid down, we'll be walking in the footsteps of Jesus. www.irishstar.com/news/us-news...
