Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
F*ck‼️ Fort Bliss Army base used for a WWII Japanese internment is now the nation's largest ICE detention center.
It’s wild, absolutely wild, how for EVERY. SINGLE. CITY. Trump wants to militarize I can post data showing how crime is plummeting in all of them without any federal invasion… … and the press KEEPS stenographing the naked bad-faith claims about “fighting crime!” in the headlines. Infuriating.
A judge ordered the sale of Alex Jones Infowars today, clearing the way for The Onion to renew its attempt to buy the notorious conspiracy-fueled empire. "We’re working on it," @bencollins.bsky.social tells @status.news www.status.news/p/washington...
This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government. (I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
Facist Assaulted by Local Hero (salami and turkey).
The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.
Really looking forward to the day when Donald Trump and everyone in his orbit fuck off harder than anyone has ever fucked off in the history of fucking off.
Too much "we're cooked" & not enough "we're not gonna take this shit"
Federal agencies hiding out in a bunker
an utter lack of curiosity is a defining quality of the worst people u know
Went to college for graphic design in hope that a winery would swoop in and hire me to design their labels
Some of the panelists invited by the FDA to discuss SSRIs and pregnancy claimed that antidepressants don't work at all and depression goes away on its own. One suggested that depression was not an illness, but rather a product of “women just naturally experiencing their emotions more intensely.”
My only hope is that one day Trump and his officials will face a tribunal on crimes against humanity.
Hello Mueller, She Wrote, I’m Zach, a high school journalist. I just published an exclusive investigation into how 193 Trump donors funneled $2M through Guam, raising quid pro quo and campaign finance concerns. Would be grateful if you gave it a look or shared it: open.substack.com/pub/zachkahn...
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
“The lack of responsiveness happened because the agency had fired hundreds of contractors at call centers”
Yea so things aren’t looking great for public media. But here’s the thing, Trump is threatened by a free press. Public media is just that: independent, courageous, honest. And because of that, I know public media will survive.
Ohhh gosh, peak cringe 🥲
The U.S. doesn’t have a healthcare system. It has an exploit-sick-people-for-profit system. The only reason we don’t have universal healthcare in the U.S. is because our politicians are allowed to accept bribes in the form of donations from insurance and pharma lobbyists.
I’m starting to suspect that the president might not be in charge of his administration, but we’ll have to wait four years for Jake Tapper to look into it I guess?
GoFundMe has set up a page for the Texan flood victims. Each campaign has been verified by the company's Trust & Safety experts, which means you know your money is going directly to families. Please consider donating if you can. Their stories are heartbreaking. www.gofundme.com/c/act/flood-...
Americans have really got to unlearn the propagandist indoctrination that socialism is bad. It means that everyone has what they need, resources are shared, and we care for the earth & those around us. We've been taught to hate it so capitalists can keep exploiting us and working us to death.
Here are the Declaration of Independence’s Grievances Against King George III. Many Apply to Trump. – Mother Jones www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
So sad 💔
You think you're cynical? I have a theory that the only reason Republicans added a solar and wind tax to the bill is to distract from the elimination of solar and energy tax *credits,* & when they remove the new tax it'll be framed as a win for clean energy even though they'll still be destroying it
Odd, how the “worst of the worst” are never committing crimes or lounging in drug dens, but are instead taking their kids to school or showing up for immigration hearings. It’s *almost* as if the Trump administration perpetually lies about EVERYTHING.
And this is absolutely crucial too: So often, “You’re overreacting!” is the result of a remarkable inability / unwillingness to stop for a second and think: “Wait, could it be that I’m not feeling the same level of concern simply because I won’t be affected in the same way?” A hallmark of privilege.
It's that time of year. Fireworks can be scary, so plan now to help avoid disaster later! Check that collars are secure, tags are on, microchips are updated and gates are closed. 🎆
If someone shows up with no badge, no name, no ID, no warrant, and their fucking face covered that’s not law enforcement, that’s a goddamn kidnapping. It should be illegal, and the fact that it isn’t already is a terrifying failure of democracy and the law.
Logistics Events Corp. and U.S. Tent Rental, two businesses out of Florida, have been hired to help build Alligator Alcatraz. An inhumane concentration camp being built for innocent immigrants. You decide what to do next.
Don't forget: Stephen Miller makes money off deportation.
Literally any other military operation was more complex and secretive.
you can literally just vote out the gerontocrats
raise your hand if you're not in NYC but you're following the mayoral election out of a desperate need to believe that good things are possible
Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.
THIS x 1,000,000. Honestly I don’t know who this person is (this clip popped up on social media) but I would vote for them tomorrow.
Mayor Karen Bass standing on business🔥 His name is Senator ALEX Padilla.
This interview is off the charts cute and makes me smile so hard every time I watch 🥰😅 I love Glo youtu.be/S8yxXzaS2Fc?...
TANKS FOR NOTHING
The Trump VA is now allowing healthcare providers to discriminate. The latest in yet another policy based on hate. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
it is, again, intensely funny that the entire country threw a massive "fuck that guy's birthday party" party in response to trump's birthday party
Trump throwing a military parade for himself despite never serving in the military is a metaphor for his entire existence.
Nothing says "250th Army Celebration" like arresting a group of veterans… www.yahoo.com/news/police-...
“space maximization and attendance perception” like c’mon news folks, it’s right there
It is not the job of the federal government to "liberate" a city and state from their elected leaders. Where are all the states'-rights conservatives? And there is no need to liberate anything. The city & state aren't under siege. This is dangerous & authoritarian red-baiting & disgraceful.
I swear I am not making this up. Tonight Trump will go to the Kennedy Center to see “Les Miserables,” a play about a mass uprising against a tyrannical king. I hereby retire from satire.
You can see why MARINES are necessary.
To be clear, this shields any research coming out of the NIH from independent peer review, which gives him total control to spread propaganda and makes any NIH study completely untrustworthy.
SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:
She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. This is fascism, plain and simple.
Haha I just thought the same thing 😆😭
Happy 4th Jet-Falling-Into-The-Sea Day for all who celebrate
Abolish ICE doesn't sound too radical now does it?
Here’s the Indianapolis Recorder archives: newspapers.library.in.gov/cgi-bin/indi...
25% tariff on a whiskey drink 37% tariff on a Vodka drink 85% tariff on a Lager drink 110% tariff on a cider drink 132% tariff on songs that remind you of the good times 138% tariff on songs that remind you of the better times
I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West. ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.
It should horrify you that it took a major media organization publishing a full investigation into the forced disappearance of a Venezuelan man for DHS to admit where it sent him and what his current location is.
Republican: *Does something inexcusable* The public: *Points it out* Republican: “HOW DARE YOU WOKE SMEAR CAMPAIGN HIT JOB WITCH HUNT ME”
Indiana will be sued.
For your enjoyment: here is Secretary of Education Linda McMahon talking about implementing AI in schools, but pronouncing it "A1," as in "A1 Steak Sauce" www.youtube.com/live/lxrg28z...
Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
a heist movie but instead of stealing anything i just sneak into wherever the large hadron collider is and bop it with a wrench until we end up in a timeline that isn’t so fucking stupid
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
Our democracy is being dismantled and our populace is being terrorized by a clown car of pricks who’ve never known kindness, empathy, humor, rhythm, style, or consensual sex without the exchange of money or favors.
Those turned into knives 😅 they’d get so sharp
She’s a graphic designer here in Indianapolis and she was not kicked out for wearing the hat, she was kicked out for misgendering employees even after being corrected, so she left but returned to record a video of her harassing the staff and patrons. Total shitbag behavior.
A new analysis reveals that Trump’s tax plan will “actively transfer money from low-income people to the top 0.1% of income earners.” 🔗: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Everything we have stood around the world going back 80 years - collective security, honoring alliances, helping friends & allies, feeding the hungry, treating & curing diseases, humanitarian aid, the rule of law, broadcasting truthful news to people who can’t get it - all gone.
Yah also why did this episode feel like 3 hours long 🫠
guys they're going to stop feeding TSA's bomb-sniffing dogs, per Fox News nat security correspondent:
The Army just deleted without explanation its page about the 442nd “GO FOR BROKE” infantry regiment—the Japanese American WW2 unit that is the most decorated in US military history. Archive is here: web.archive.org/web/20250304... Page was here: www.army.mil/asianpacific... Disgusting.
It is now 53 days after the date Trump repeatedly guaranteed he would have the war in Ukraine resolved with a peace agreement.
Every day I see an article where a judge is looking at something Trump/Musk did and is just like, "Are you fucking for real"
I keep thinking about the Matthew Desmond figure on how much it would cost to pull Americans out of poverty: ~175 billion. The 148 billion Musk is reported to have lost could have made SO MANY LIVES BETTER. Instead it's evaporated into the ether of him being a hateful dick, loathed by millions.
Have you called your electeds today? 5calls.org is a great place to start! Phone numbers and short scripts all in one place. (Overwhelmed? Pick ONE topic and stick with it!)
Can’t believe Twitter keeps crashing despite Elon hiring the best 19-year-old interns that racism has to offer
And I absolutely believe that if Elon Musk gets to do to our government what he did to Twitter, he'll have the exact same results: He'll destroy 80% of our countrys value while bringing back the Nazis.
The writ of habeas corpus exists to protect against arbitrary detention and confinement. Of course, the writ meaning anything depends on an executive branch that is willing to 1) respond to a legal action; 2) tell the truth in court; and 3) obey a court order. Otherwise this is 1973 Chile
Welp
Get the fuck outta here
Here’s the amazing thing: a recession would be *entirely self-inflicted,* turning a nicely running economy into trash, and all over petty grievances and a complete lack of basic economic understanding
He’s barstooly, I have to detour around his content and I’m surprised SNL had him host after firing him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In any other era, the Secretary of Defense threatening to invade an ally and one of our largest trade partners would be front page news for days. It’s not even the stupidest, most reckless thing this administration has done this afternoon. apple.news/AG-YEzrFtQlG...
I feel like there are a lot of tapes
Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.
1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”
feels like every single headline this morning is some version of IN SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT, TRUMP DOES EXACTLY WHAT HE’S BEEN PROMISING TO DO FOR LITERALLY YEARS
Roses are red, But that's not quite true, They absorb every wavelength of the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, *Except* for that hue.
It’s not only that AOC knows how modern media works better than anyone else in Congress. It’s that she’s braver too. This is an example of both.
“Elon Musk is firing military veteran firefighters for no reason” is the biggest slam dunk in political messaging history, Dems should be shouting it into the world’s biggest bullhorn from the top of the Washington Monument.
Oh, haha I’ve been a Liverpool fan for a hundred years, my loyalty lies firmly with the lads at Anfield ❤️ But Bournemouth are doing very well this season!
MUSTAAAAAAAARD
I kept thinking this during the game and how @therickwilson.bsky.social nailed it
what fuels me is knowing he’s eventually going to chew on the wrong wire
You were just trying to pump up the Jam, commendable effort tbh
