100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises.

But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up.

It's up to us to demand something better.

If the GOP are calling you the “bottom scum of journalists”, you’re doing something right

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

A long shot, but is anyone in the Madison, WI, area in the market for a used 2015 Prius-C? I'm looking to sell mine: silver exterior, sun/moonroof, less than 41k miles on the odometer.

"Elon Musk is a troll" reminds me of the NYTimes on Hitler in 1922: "Hitler’s anti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded, and that he was merely using anti-Semitic propaganda as a bait to catch masses of followers and keep them aroused, enthusiastic, and in line."

I was on a group call last night feeling a little down bc being consistently showing up is hard work and sometimes I wish we didn’t have to do it.

The organizer said something early in the call that changed my perspective and I wrote it down in all caps.

Wrapped myself and the dog up for our morning walk. Duncan lasted approximately four minutes outdoors before he decided to go home. I feel like he would have lasted five minutes if he had been wearing hand knit leg warmers. IJS.
