There are countless better ways to make a buck these days than owning a news outlet. Why be in the journalism business if you're not interested in protecting reporters' rights? Go sell phone cases or pet food or something.
Trump just said "I don't know" when he was asked on Meet the Press if he's required to uphold the Constitution.
A damn good idea. Please sign! #arpx
In 2023, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders named Christian nationalist Jason Rapert to the Arkansas State Library Board, The board thwarted Rapert's efforts to enact his right-wing agenda, so the state legislature removed them from office, to be replaced by Gov. Sanders. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...
Jail them all.
"It's only papers"<--you are here
"It's only patches"
"It's only tattoos"
"It's only a bullet"
This is UNREAL!!!! Once again, I found myself fact-checking something because it seemed too ludicrous to be true. Sadly, it is. And to think that these are the people my fellow Christians think should be in power. 💔

AR-02 has the third most cuts of any congressional district in the country. French Hill's silence about this is spineless even for a perpetual jellyfish like him.
Your local librarians almost certainly care more about you than your legislators, with few exceptions. Do what you can to support them.

Correction: they *tried* to roast you, but I fear you told the truth and it seems that the truth hurts.
Is there a song about that or something?
Librarians are dedicated to their patrons, despite well-funded efforts to falsely discredit them.
Get your library cards and use them, y'all.
so, stephanie turner—the fencer who took a knee & went on a media tour about it—cost a trans girl the chance to participate in society & did it for $5,000 cash, in addition to, i assume, paid speaking gigs with folks like riley gaines.
this is grifting. turner is a grifter. also a garbage person.
I grew up listening to my grandparents' and great-grandparents' stories about living through the Great Depression. I did not ever consider that I might have to put their wisdom into practice in my own life.
But here we go.
this is absolutely true and we are not prepared for it
the boardgame industry is capital-f Fucked, as one example - there simply are not any alternative manufacturers many folks can shift to in order to stop going under
and that sort of thing doesn't come back easily even if the tariffs go down
In case you missed it, Trump also signed an executive order today directing the AG to go after state and local climate policies. Potentially bigger deal than coal order, imo…

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.
Trump defenders are trying to spin the tariffs as an attempt to bring the middle-class economy back to the heyday of the 1960s. But Trump himself keeps saying his plan will return America back to the 1890s. “Don't think GM—think Triangle Shirtwaist Factory,” says Hayes.
And in the end, they even sacrificed their claim to “state’s rights” for which they enslaved, seceded, fought, segregated, assaulted and murdered, and in the name of which they degraded themselves, their families and their region.
Three Senate Democrats may vote for Queen Sarah’s corrupt billion-dollar prison boondoggle. No good reason why. Except more sleazy politics. Shane on them. Plan can’t pass without them.
Half of America has a chronic illness. I am one of those people.
This is an active and immediate attack on our very lives, as if our medications weren’t expensive enough.
Seeing as how I spend half my day taking pills, this is swell fucking news. Enjoy selling your plasma for prozac!

TRANSLATION: Fuck you and fuck your future. Oil, gas, and coal billionaires can poison your water and drive us towards climate apocalypse, and become unimaginably rich.
The men who paid to elect Trump can do whatever they want, and everyday people can eat shit.
We are living in a theocratic, fascist dictatorship.
This is absolutely Orwellian doublespeak...

soooo this is going to be a post that makes absolutely everyone unhappy:
black bloc is a part of diversity of tactics
handknit pussy hats are part of a diversity of tactics
voting is a part of diversity of tactics
From the same techbros who:
*Watched Star Wars and wanted to be the Empire
*Read Tolkien and admired Sauron
*Read Iain M. Banks and decided to build a network of fascist dictatorships
History speaks. Europe’s lessons from a century ago can wake up and inspire our democracy…in 2025 America.
