Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: "We never asked for a ceasefire or negotiations. We are really to defend ourselves as long as it takes until President Trump comes to the point that this is an illegal war. There are people being killed only because President Trump wants to have fun."
For everyone laughing at felon Trump, please watch this about the parallel with Hitler. Family story. Salient. 2mins

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."

“SkinnyTok’s ruthless tone rings true to many women because they’re already being so ruthless toward themselves,” Annie Joy Williams writes:
Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.
This is so true! Country music used to be about class struggle and the heartbreaks that befall the working class and the downtrodden. Country is poor, rural protest music! Country & Blues are opposite sides of the same coin.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms…
The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly…
One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

Found a reaction video on YouTube where a vocal coach breaks down Eddie Vedder's performance on Pearl Jam's "Black". In the comments section, someone said something so profound it almost made me cry.
"Eddie can break your heart while making you thankful to be alive."
I saw a MAGA call the new pope “globalist” and was wondering how long it was gonna take for someone to call him a Jew out loud and apparently the answer was a couple of hours.
"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."
Resistance is NOT futile
History always has a lesson.
Happy #Easter
took a few days off for my brain and one pretty alarming observation i have is just how easy it is to not hear about the bad stuff that is happening if you don't explicitly dip into specific information streams (not a new problem but feels orders of magnitude more siloed than even 2-3 years ago)
We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025.
Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.
“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥
Start by voting NO on every damn thing they want to do. If even the most sensible Republicans aren't willing to repudiate this madness then the idea of bipartisanship is meaningless.
20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world.
A better world is possible.

A medieval illustration showing two people pointing at a figure in the lower right corner who looks like he's trying to take off his chainmail but has gotten it stuck while it's over his head. The caption reads: "When I'm drunk AF and try to take off a turtleneck."
Same, medieval dudes. Same.
So the man who is actively dismantling our democratic institutions, the man who is currently saying fuck due process, snatching innocent people off our streets, and dumping them into foreign gulags, that man is “charming” in private?
Do I have that right @billmaher?
Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.
This is, unfortunately, spot on!
I did not--and this is completely on me--understand the existential horror that digital collections could be under fascism.
If they wanted to burn the books, they'd at least have to go manually and start torching the place.
With this it's just... <DELETE>
