A person holding a coffee cup with the words "MAGA TEARS"
I'm having something special in the morning instead of coffee
Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."
I donβt care what side of the aisle youβre on, the President of the United States even joking about revoking someoneβs citizenship should be met with universal condemnation.
Weβve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably wonβt share intel with us. Because people couldnβt vote for a woman.
Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, βThis is what I voted for.β
Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in schoolβabout to come out and find her missing?
There isnβt another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?
Are we great yet?
There's always a tweet.
You fought for habeas corpus, put it in your constitution, and now youβre just gonna let a game show host take it away? Youβre not losing your rights. Youβre handing them over.
Yup. Thatβs the one.
I wonder π€ who it could be
Ohβ¦
So that guy from The Real World, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, rescheduled his wifeβs flight out of Newark to LaGuardia?
If this guy doesnβt have the confidence in the FAA or the airport thatβs under his control, then he shouldnβt be employed anymore.
When you lose Rupert Murdochβ¦
Itβs pretty fucked up that Trump knows he can lie and take bribes because he knows the press wonβt use the words βlieβ or βbribes.β
Un-American for thine, graduation for mine.
It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.
Shouldnβt he buy American?
AOC: This administration β and Noem β spits on the American flag every time they engage in that nonsense. So I donβt want to hear anything about βAmerica First.β These people, and this administration, are putting America last by acting like their allegiance is to a man instead of the Constitution.
The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka.
They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight weβre elected to do. But weβll never back down in our fight for what is right.
Make it make sense
The American tourism industry is sooooooo screwed.
Republicans wonβt raise the federal min wage of $7.25 because they Claim it will tank the economyβhasnβt budged since 2009.
California raised it to $16.50 statewide, $20/hour for fast foodβand in cities like West Hollywood, itβs $19.61.
No collapse. No chaos. Just the 4th biggest economy on Earth.
We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.
