It's the GRIEF. We haven't really come to terms with the grief of it and are in wide denial that no, really, the USA is dead. It's not "changing", it's buried. The institutions, the larger ideals, the systematic functioning of accountability. The decline was the last 30-40 years. This IS the end...

This weekend, don't forget to check out a rare 6-planet alignment shortly after sunset on Saturday, February 28. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus will be visible from our vantage point here on Earth - although you will likely need a telescope for Uranus and Neptune. 🔭🌏 (1/2)

Incredible shot of Rep. Al Green holding up a "BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T APES!" sign with Trump in the foreground from photographer Kenny Holston (Getty)

Massie goes full beast mode today. Gets on the house floor, shreds the DOJ and starts naming names from the Epstein files.

She’s out!! They have released Ozturk from ICE custody!

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” Via @grist.org grist.org/biking/one-m...

If a typical picture is worth a thousand words, this reaction by the leader of Italy to sitting next to an obvious madman is worth several trillion

A tale of two movies: Similar deal structures. Similar budgets. One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend. The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second. And yet this is the coverage.

More lost American business; more lost American jobs.

At least 50 political prisoners are now facing execution in Iran, including three women. Last year, there were over 900 executions—the highest in 9 years. iranhumanrights.org/2025/04/five...

The anti-trans movement is welfare for losers.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

You know, I think the easiest way for AI to f**k with humans and really cause major emotional damage is to automatically turn on our MUTE buttons when we think they're on. #tech

I've been wonderinf that too.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Is this the snake eating itself?

Except it's not just one person. It's countless simping enablers behind him. A 5 year old could also tank everything if we gave him the power of the land. .....though, tbh, I have more faith in a 5 yrar old GIRL. Full props to 5 year old girls.

"Congress has the authority to override Trump’s tariffs and to stop his vandalism of the American government. Alas, cowards are our last defense against an ignorant tyrant." www.theatlantic.com/economy/arch...

For better or worse, this is painfully true.

It has been two weeks since a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage, and not one major national outlet has covered the story

The National Park Service employs people from a wide range of backgrounds, like the great Shelton Johnson. My Uber driver this morning, a historian, was abruptly fired by the NPS last week and is struggling to make ends meet. The trump kakistocracy is destroying much of what makes America great.

There’s a mass exodus from AirBnB to VRBO because of a co-founder & board member’s ties to the Heritage Foundation, Project 25, Tesla, and DOGE… Act accordingly. ✨

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

“I’ll be 10 min late sorry!!!” -ashamed -fragile -unreliable “A thousand apologies. The relentless slog of time has overtaken my faculties.” -powerful -commanding -honest

The CDC has literally been gutted today. There’s no need for “April Fools” when reality is a nightmare for every human on this planet. Thousand of scientists fired. Entire departments erased. 1/

Only **ten** people? What a terrible decline in journalistic standards we are seeing when someone who is a fine public servant devoted to rooting out fraud can be subjected to calumny like this based on such thin sourcing

Absolute 🔥🔥 ... I am just gobsnacked that G has the audacity to even show his face in public in the last 20 years.

New: New wave of terminations today at FDA. People arrived this morning and found out while waiting in line to go through security that they no longer worked there. A common pattern with DOGE: planning to maximize humiliation/disrespect.

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes. The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957. I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

18 hours and 45 minutes in, and Cory Booker is still going strong! 🔥

It’s so weird how we’re all just working like this is still a normal country.

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

Incredible news on TDOV. The 9th Circuit has denied the government’s request to enforce its transgender military ban. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Spelling and grammar are woke.

all jokes aside, the idea of getting china, japan, and south korea to agree to literally anything is wild and speaks to just how much of a colossal disaster trump is internationally.

France is moving far too fast against Marine Le Pen. by Merrick Garland

What a POS He ordered French companies with U.S. government contracts to comply with his bigoted EO banning DEI France says 🖕🏼 "This practice reflects the values of the new U.S. government. They are not the same as ours. The minister will remind his counterparts in the U.S. government of this."

Yup....it’s always about stealing something. The immoral greed is deep.

RFK Jr. wants to gut the very agencies that protect us from pandemics, approve life-saving drugs, AND help our most vulnerable get healthcare? Y’all… this isn’t reform, it’s reckless. www.cnbc.com/2025/03/27/r...

Lmao 🤣 savages

#GoldenAgeOfAmerica 🥇

we really need to stop saying “arrested” by ICE. the word you’re looking for is “kidnapped”.

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

I'm still aghast that ANYONE respectable and, you know, not a raging racist or lunatic, is still using the site.

This is an enormous blow to health—mRNA vaccines have been good not just for Covid but cancers. It's also a huge driver of biomedical research and industry. Guess all that science, and revenue will go to other countries www.mskcc.org/news/can-mrn...
