The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology
A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"
I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
Eugenicists are so stupid.
The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim—
Oh.
Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"
It never got a lot of attention, but Aber put a WHOLE LOT of child predators w/ties to law enforcement in prison.

Sanders: I will tell you what I think the worst addiction in this country is, the most dangerous, and that is the greed of the oligarchs. Everybody wants to do well. These guys already have billions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions. How much money do you need?
I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism.
From Around the Horn:
DEI my a$s.
This is pure, proud, undisguised
RACISM.
"We collaborate with the fascist takeover, not because it is right, but because we think if we do they might be unpopular at some point in the future, at which point, again provided they are unpopular enough that there is no risk to us, we will form a committee to explore doing the right thing."
Trump’s schemes for world domination include the invasion and annexation of Canada. This is not a drill. This is not a joke.
This is an evil, megalomaniacal plot.
Trump’s insistence that Canada is not a real country is eerily similar to Vladimir Putin’s arguments in the run-up to his invasion…
57 years ago, on March 16, 1968, US troops killed 504 Vietnamese civilians - mostly older people, mothers, and children. I am spending the day at the My Lai memorial with Ron Haeberle, the photographer, and got to meet the last of the survivors, of whom just a handful are still alive.
re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens
“Silent protest doesn’t work when their goal is to keep you silent.”
Don't be dignified; be indignant.
Don't be weary; be revolted.
Don't tut-tut; fuck. them. up.
This isn't a differing of opinions.
It isn't a disagreement on policy.
This is a Coup d'État. And your last chance to fight back.
Crockett: We had an opportunity to have a woman lead this country and I promise you, she would have led us to the promised land. But instead we got somebody that seems like he wants to take to us hell
I imagine they'll be translating President Trump's speech into Russian which shouldn't be hard because that was the language it was drafted in.
A Moscow spokesperson states the obvious: the Trump-Vance agenda "largely aligns" with the Kremlin.
I’m pretty sure this is what voters want from their elected officials

Richest guy in the world telling us we can’t afford to have our government fund cancer research.
This is the second time USAID/State is punishing people revealing the truth that Marco is killing children. They're quite desperate to hide this fact, as if the reporters in Africa or court declarations are making it up.
It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!
We're six weeks in, and I'm not sure what's missing for folks. The plan is to crash the economy and destroy lives for the good of the oligarchs. They literally don't care about them kids, the elderly, the disabled, etc.
They want your safety net gone. They want you fucked up. That's the plan.
DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.
Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.
See how this works?
MSNBC worries about the perception that they’re not fair to R’s while Fox eats an $800m libel settlement to preserve its ability to lie about Ds.
That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage.
