Happy Birthday Anne Frank, born OTD in 1929. Reading these two quotes had me thinking about the paradoxes we hold simultaneously, today.

One year ago.

"I would love for her to do a sing-a-long with a handful of male detainees unsupervised and watch the suicide empathy take hold," Greg Gutfeld said today, fantasizing about Ms. Rachel being violently assualted. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/gre...

This has been debunked, it didn't happen. Please double check stuff like this before posting - we don't need to be like MAGA out here. www.politifact.com/factchecks/2...

Reminder: If our vote wasn’t powerful, elected officials wouldn't be trying so hard to take it away. We will fight for our democracy, always.

SUBRAMANYAM: You tweeted in March that the US Navy had successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. Was that true? CHRIS WRIGHT: No.

On Sept. 16, 2024, Emily Waldorf’s daughter found her curled on the floor, bleeding during a dangerous miscarriage at 17 weeks pregnant. Waldorf and her husband rushed to an Arkansas hospital, expecting emergency care. Instead, doctors said they could not intervene under the state’s abortion ban.

NYT headline when the economy added 266,000 jobs under Biden vs. NYT headline when BLS says the economy added 172,000 jobs under Trump.

Wow. You have to do your research, folks. Trump just said he “lifted 2.4 million Americans off of food stamps.” That's not what he did. He kicked them off of food assistance. They're going hungry now. And he used the money to give billionaires tax breaks. Pay attention.

"One of the most popular and profitable grifts in the world of the religious right and MAGA is the production of propaganda to convince Christians that they are horribly discriminated against, or even oppressed, by the government and government funded entities." — @brynntannehill.bsky.social

A government official hasn't been this out of touch since... Well, probably in this administratumion, like, maybe a little earlier today.

Modern democracies: How do we make sure that everyone is covered by a universal healthcare system. USA: How can we make sure that millions of people have no medical coverage?

I know this cuz this happened for my kids this year. It was based on our filed taxes. We didn't make enough, it flagged somehow, and the kids were automatically transferred to Medicaid.

1. Real Change PAC, a super PAC that purports to be "committed to progressive values," has spent millions of dollars in Democratic primaries. It is actually a Republican front closely tied to House Republican leadership. An email completely exposed the dirty tricks operation.

The U.S. government handed a 3-year-old to an abuser to torture him to death, and then his mother was allotted one hour for his funeral.

Trump’s Truth Social posting over the last hour or so is completely batshit insane. Get a load of this nonstop nuttery.

My husband is a backend network security upper level professional and he says this is extremely disturbing.

so, this is deeply, deeply horrifying thedreydossier.substack.com/p/i-found-a-...

This guy won his statewide race in Texas.

Donald Trump and his MAGA allies said we can't afford SNAP. Gold-coated horse statues and a $1 billion ballroom, however, made the cut.

modern society shows you just how important feeling superior to others is to a frighteningly large part of the population

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

“We moved 4.5 million people off SNAP” is a crazy way to say you took food away from 4.5 million people, mostly needy families. And also crazy to think this works for them politically!

The Fix is In

😕🇺🇸 Yeah @marenmorris.bsky.social gets it

Stop the corruption and wasting of taxpayer money! #HealthcareNotWarfare

the optics of this Oval Office event are absolutely insane. get a load of this. crazytown.

Trump is shitposting slop while his guests wait for him to show up. He's not waylaid in meetings or trying to solve some problem, he's just self-soothing by posting brainrot. Imagine the lack of dignity it takes to just sit there and wait for him to get offline.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

The supreme court betrayed Black voters, they betrayed America, and they betrayed our democracy.” - Barack Obama

If you want to understand why our economy is rigged for the super rich, look at this graph.

Our current economy is rigged. It just is. A new report shows that 88 of the largest companies in America, including: Amazon Citigroup Haliburton Kohl's Palantir PayPal PG&E Southwest Airlines Tesla United Airlines Disney paid ZERO corporate income tax last year.

The world’s leading scientists are warning that AI could “end civilization as we know it.” 97% of Americans believe AI safety should be subject to rules. When will our government wake up?! We need global cooperation — before it’s too late.

The Trump regime is pushing for a new rule that could strip as many as 400,000 low-income adults with disabilities of hundreds of dollars per month in assistance. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress just introduced a plan to use taxpayer money to fund Trump's vanity ballroom. Do I have this right?

Smith: "We're doing this on our own as we increasingly push away all our allies, gratuitously insulting them. In the middle of this war where we're asking NATO to come join us, the president took time to insult Macron and his wife. How is that helping us, to try to belittle everybody in the world?"

Instead of relying on a count of the alleged shooter's likes and reposts, you can just browse his profile here. Seems like a pretty typical Bluesky poster. Nothing he reposted from any of the listed accounts in the skeet going around is a call for political violence. web.archive.org/web/20260426...

Appears to be the full manifesto of Cole Allen, shooter from last night's white house correspondence dinner / would be trump shooter www.democraticunderground.com/100221200130 I have been scouring to find the whole thing and this seems to maybe be it

1/ One of the dirtiest tricks in the disinformation playbook is the fake movement. It looks like a wave of angry people demanding change. In reality it's a tiny group of operators pretending to be thousands, building political cover out of nothing. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

The GOP’s priorities are insanely off. Sen. Kim is right: Spread the word. Then let's kick these feckless cowards out of office.
