ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days. They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention. Under this regime, no one is safe. apnews.com/article/us-a...

Fantastic and inspiring to hear and see about everyone protesting today! I’ve been recovering from surgery, otherwise I’d have been there, but I’ll be ready and raring to go next time!!

Don’t look at me, I voted for the black lady who didn’t want to burn down our economy.

If you’re in Wisconsin, vote today for Susan Crawford. There are also two special elections in Florida’s 1st and 6th districts. Let’s show Elon our country isn’t for sale.

Great time to turn things around 🙌

Your annual reminder not to go up to anyone today and say "hey, you've got a little something there on your forehead."

Please please please.

Oh so this was the red wave y’all were talking about

Probably a good time for a reminder that Shakespeare’s “First thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers” is spoken by villains trying to destabilize society

Sorry, but I did not think Adrien Brody's performance of "I'll be brief" was very good.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

I’m pretty sure this is what voters want from their elected officials www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

I’m here for it though. Chain yourselves to the sinking ship, you cruel, selfish bigots.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Hey, you! Does your employer match donations? Do you have even a small amount of money you can afford to give? Give it so your company has to too. Not sure where? SNAP/EBT is in serious jeopardy; your local food bank is never a bad choice. Food donations are good—money is better.

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

House Republicans just took the first step towards passing their plans to cut health care and hike the cost of groceries for millions of people. Why? To pay for tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations. Working people won't forget this. We need to fight back.

Let's be clear about what this means: Donald Trump is hand-picking the reporters that cover him and his administration. This is straight out of the Kremlin playbook of intimidating reporters and manipulating press coverage and it should alarm every American.

They’re cutting Medicaid

This seems bad

Within the span of 90 minutes on Tuesday morning, two airplanes, at Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport and at Chicago’s Midway International Airport, were forced to abort landings to avoid collisions, federal aviation officials said.

Reporter: Migrants who were in Guantanamo Bay say they were shackled and placed in cages and say they were not treated as human beings. Any response to those conditions? Leavitt: It’s a promise the President campaigned on

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout. Democrats voted yes. Republicans voted no. Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

So, shopping small/local is always going to be preferable, but to the extent that’s not always feasible or affordable—what are the major retailers one can feel halfway decent about patronizing? Costco has been discussed I know…anyone else?

Sure hope so. (art by Dave Tarnowski)

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now
