Stop complaining about what the news is or isn’t doing. The news is dead. We let private equity kill it and now it’s like ten people trying to fact check press releases. Those ten people doing resistance better or whatever is not going to save us.

Trump is taking on the "deep state" by dumping endless COINTELPRO blackmail records about Martin Luther King Jr, to the glee of white supremacists, while covering up pedophilic blackmail records, also likely an intelligence operation, that he and his buddies are implicated in.

If I were Elon Musk, I'd be embarrassed by the rebuke to my competence as a car maker that *all* Cybertrucks have been recalled for being pasted together with Elmer's Glue. But I'd be more embarrassed to the rebuke to my competence as a businessman that the recall only affected 46,000 vehicles.

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

"I appreciate your advocacy." 🤮

Gavin Newsom to Steve Bannon: “…Steve, I really enjoyed this... I think it's incredibly valuable and I appreciate the spirit to which we were able to engage. And yeah, I hope we could continue the conversation. I appreciate your advocacy. I also appreciate that you call balls and strikes…”

Columbia University admins warned international journalism students to avoid publishing work on Gaza, Ukraine, and protests after a pro-Palestinian activist's arrest, saying their freedom and academic future could be at risk. “Nobody can protect you.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/n...

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Passing the bill will slow down the court cases! If Congress gives Trump the leeway to move money around why would a court sanction him for... moving money around?

ADDITIONAL POINT: I've now heard this independently from enough sources that I think it's true. A big driver of the Yes faction in the Senate Ds is the idea that a shutdown will slow down the court cases. When first heard this a couple days ago I thought youv'e got to be friggin' kidding. REALLY?

Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully. That’s supposed to be permitted in a democracy. If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what’s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn’t like?

Republicans control the House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the White House (sort of). If the government shuts down it is 100% on them. Ignore the any media that claims otherwise.

it was written by a guy who had supported the Nazis as a conservative and came to terribly regret his direct contribution to their evil.

I need to remind you that the famous poem "first they came for x" was written by a White German Priest. The poem was a warning since he too was later to be captured by the Nazis and sent to a camp. Speak up/act before its too late.

Kash Patel wants to criminally charge groups who received EPA grants for climate change projects. You know, like those greedy bastards at Habitat for Humanity. He thinks climate change isn't real, so he thinks these groups have committed fraud. Which of course is fucking crazy.

You are up to date.
