Is this what makes America great again? I mean, we still have horses and bikes, right?

We live in Idiocracy...

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

Save the date! ✊

70 Indivisible groups. One letter. One demand: Pass #NY4All now!

On Tue, 54 groups sent a letter to leadership. We are already over 70 statewide!

Momentum in Albany has stalled. We need an all-hands-on-deck push to end ICE collusion. NY4All is the "gold standard" anything less is not enough.

If the US won't follow its past treaty obligations, what incentive does Iran have to follow them now?

Trump has declared "a whole civilization will die tonight." The time to make your voice heard is NOW. Bring your signs, flags, voices to Joe Morelle's office to tell him we do not support this illegal war.

How the hell did Trump get from promising to make groceries affordable to wiping civilizations off the face of the earth?!? This isn't the rhetoric of democracy. It's a complete embrace of fascist logic and norms.

How Trump turmoil is driving more people to the therapist’s office: ‘This is all upside down’ As ‘political depression’ enters public discourse, therapists are encouraging people to engage with their communities

Many of us on the left are "experiencing classic symptoms of 'political depression' – the knowledge that the world is falling apart paired with the 'sense that customary forms of political response … are no longer working either to change the world or to make us feel better.'"

No wonder Trump can't stop bombing Iran. He can't handle being out-trolled.

On a gradient background with the asexual flag colors, text reads, “Happy International Asexuality Day.” The HRC logo appears.

Happy International Asexuality Day!

Asexual, often called “ace” for short, refers to a complete or partial lack of sexual attraction or lack of interest in sexual activity with others.

The priorities of a tyrant are never going to be humane. Or sane.

Even children have some kind of filter. This is the Christian, moral President the evangelicals want? And to say this on Easter? There's still time to repent! #UseThe25th

The Iranian Embassy in South Africa weighs in:

NYT: Iran War Live Updates: Trump Escalates Threat to Hit Iranian Power Plants After U.S. Rescues Downed Airman President Trump used an expletive-laden social media post to taunt Iranian leaders, saying that the United States would attack if they did not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

NYT: President Trump on Sunday escalated his threats to bomb Iranian power plants within the next two days and taunted the country’s leaders in an expletive-laden social media post. Mr. Trump, seemingly emboldened by the successful U.S. rescue of an American airman in Iran over the weekend, issued a new ultimatum to Iran to end its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz, a major Persian Gulf waterway for the transport of oil and gas, by Apr. 6. If Iran’s government did not, he said, U.S. forces would target the country’s energy infrastructure, which supplies power for millions of civilians. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” Mr. Trump wrote on social media. The president has previously postponed his deadline to attack twice and the Omani foreign ministry said on Sunday that officials had discussed how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian counterparts without reaching a definitive agreement.

“Praise be to Allah,” Mr. Trump added, before signing off in all caps. Iran has threatened to retaliate by intensifying its attacks on critical infrastructure in Israel and Arab states that are allied with the United States. An escalation could further derail the lives of civilians throughout the region and add to worries about the global economy, which has been rattled by soaring energy prices since the start of the war. Over the past two days, the U.S. military has been in a race with Iranian armed forces to find the missing airman after an F-15E jet was shot down over Iran on Friday, in the first known instance of a U.S. combat aircraft since the start of the war. The plane’s pilot was quickly rescued. But a second officer was stranded in Iran and injured in the incident. American commandoes found the airman deep inside Iranian territory under the cover of darkness.

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane

Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

Screenshot of a tweet by Chris Murphy criticizing Trump as disconnected from reality, quoting Trump claiming the U.S. is independent of Middle Eastern oil while addressing the nation. The image shows Trump speaking at a podium during a televised address, with a news banner about war with Iran.

Either he knows he's lying, or he believes his own lies. Both are highly troubling.

BREAKING: We're challenging President Trump's executive order that aims to restrict mail-in voting.

Once again, the president is trying to seize power he doesn't have at the expense of our democracy.

Freedom in America today means free to bully kids into making them who you want them to be, not to let them freely be who they were born to be.

It's not a great sign that a federal judge is calling the US federal government Orwellian, right? Asking for a democracy.

That ought to devalue the currency even more.

Not sure whether you should show up on Saturday? @timothysnyder.bsky.social (an expert on authoritarianism) explains why historic protests like No Kings Day really matter.

Mutual Aid is solidarity, not charity.
