It’s bad enough that we’re subsidizing extremely profitable sports teams with our tax dollars to build stadiums, but we’re letting them charge us $17 dollars for a beer and $11 dollars for a damn hotdog at the concession stand? Enough. Here’s one thing we can do about it.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Canada ✊🏼 #canada #arresttrump

From Fox’s Chief National Security reporter. Who can’t seem to get any airtime lately. For some reason.

SCOOP: A WIRED review of public data shows that national security adviser Mike Waltz, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and other top officials left sensitive information exposed via Venmo—until WIRED asked about it.

can u imagine how badly jeffrey goldberg probably wanted to jump into the chat "this stuff is wild guys not gonna lie can not believe i was invited"

The founder of Signal releases a response to SignalGate: “There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.”

Truer words were never spoken.

This is some excellent good trouble

Marco Rubio today.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

The CFPB has: -Returned $20B to victims of financial fraud -Cracked down on junk fees -Fought against politically-motivated debanking -Protected veterans from predatory lenders -Protected consumers' data from corporate abuse Oligarchs want to reverse all of this.

As @petebuttigieg.bsky.social wrote on another platform: “The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?”

Some don’t even realize they’re actually eating all the faces.

Representing in Harrisburg, PA today! Despite the cold and wind, several hundred showed up and spoke up❤️✊ So good to be around so many friends!

Stand with science. Always.

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

KeepTrack is tracking Project 2025! He’s completely destroying us. I don’t know how we recover. But I do know it will take years to erase the orange stain on our country. substack.com/@keeptrack/n...

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

Marco Rubio's new acting undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, ladies and gentlemen.

A case of tuberculosis has been confirmed at a Michigan school. Just as the Senate considers an avowed anti-vaxxer to lead our nation’s health agencies.

I'm not surprised by trump's disgustingly negative attitude about disabled people. It's who he is, and who he's always been. This should have been the end.

As of this moment, Canadians are united as one in defiance of tyranny. Americans? Most Americans have no idea that the idiot monster they elected because they forgot to vote has started a massive trade war that will upend their lives.

California’s on fire, and while the GOP is busy blaming DEI and concocting conspiracies, Canada and Mexico are busy saving lives.

After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its DEI policies, this was their response: “Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." This explains why Costco is an industry leader!

This remains, and I say this advisedly, one of the best exchanges I have ever seen on social media

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor. Party of Family Values, am I right?

If the price of eggs is a red line but a felon fucking over kids with cancer is not, maybe, just maybe, the problem here… is you.

Sending a big kudos to Leader Jeffries and House Dems for standing united against Puppet Trump and Puppeteer Musk’s last-minute government funding heist, which would have DEFUNDED childhood cancer research and hurricane relief. Dems from all over the spectrum stood up for us. THANK YOU!

They are going full oligarchy to the sound of silent consent. When fascism takes over, it is not with a bang but a gradual normalization of corruption, nepotism, and organized crime. They'll slow boil democracy until nothing is left. The time to act is now, the time to protest is overdue.

Can we just start using WTYS for “We told you so” to save character space over the next 4 years?

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids. Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

Hey corporate media, Thou shalt not spend thousands of hours on one CEO’s shooting and only one hour on a classroom of children.

Campbell’s witty response to this homophobe makes me want to enjoy some of their delicious chicken noodle soup right now! 🍜 🏳️‍🌈

imagine a country so furious about drag performers that it voted for polio

Homeboy stopped the wrong lady (H/T @agirlhasnopres.bsky.social )

Just spoke with a friend who works for United health care. She says she’s just glad he didn’t kill himself. She’s says this is so we can learn the rest of the story but I suspect it’s so she can see him suffer consequences. 😞.

NJ passes a law preventing cranky fucknuts from going apeshit on school libraries and librarians. www.nj.com/politics/202...

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way. This is not a hot take. It's just plain common sense.

The Secretary of Defense is too important a job for someone with Pete Hegseth’s sick personality, lack of experience and zero qualifications. He’s a danger to the nation. youtu.be/Q4Es-IDBDao?...
