Knives Out is a perfect movie

One Battle After Another was one of the most well paced 3 hour movies I've ever seen. PTA delivers an incredible story of family, resistance, and community.

Go see this in the theater if you haven't seen it. I expect this to get a lot of awards.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion. 

Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts.

And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B.

We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

in New Hampshire, JB Pritzker hits the "simpering timidity" of many Dems:
“Fellow Democrats, for far too long we’ve been guilty of listening to a bunch of do-nothing political types who would tell us that America’s house is not on fire,even as the flames are licking their faces"

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

* very unconstitutional

I'm sorry you do not get to claim you voted for the current president because of economic issues when he campaigned on making the economic issues worse.

Honestly at this point, please take it. We stopped valuing freedom a long time ago. What a sad time to be an American.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Keep a list.

19 Democrats including, Chuck Schumer, backed MAGA Republicans in making corruption, tax evasion and fraud easier. They voted to repeal the rule requiring cryptocurrency bros to adhere to the same tax reporting rules as stock brokers. #3E #EndOligarchy

Let me get this straight, Americans are in the streets by the thousands protesting this regime, and the best our representatives can do is silently hold up a few signs?

The only Democrat who stood up against fascism tonight. We need this energy for every speech.
March 5, 2025 at 4:50 AM
We need to call every Democrat representative and ask them why they are sitting and being silent in the face of a constitutional crisis.

Fascists don't care about signs. Get up and be angry.

As clear a sign as any that congressional Dems either don’t fully grasp or are incapable of confronting the constitutional crisis.

Oh, now we're dragging people out of the SOTU.

Democrats, your job is not to be quieter because Al Green got dragged out. It's your job to get LOUDER.

I agree with Donald Trump that an unelected bureaucrat should be fired.

Let’s start with Elon Musk.

Every democrat should have blocked the way and Green should have lay down and made them carry him out. Civil disobedience is the least they owe us. Sitting there with their little signs. Fucking pathetic.

This current Social Security riff by Trump is completely debunked 100% total made-up BS. No president has EVER lied this baldly from the podium. And Vance, Johnson, and the whole GOP just nod and go along with it.

If they're not fit to stand with Al Green, drive them out of office and replace them with someone who is. #SOTU #3E

Good on Al Green. At least one of them have a spine.

Dems are so weak holy shit. Imagine just sitting there and taking it while the President is destroying the entire government that protects us.

The simple act of booing during Trump’s speech would go a lot farther than standing there in matching outfits or walking out. Stand your ground. Call a traitor a traitor and boo. Silent protest doesn’t work when their goal is to keep you silent. #3E #SOTU

To all the non-Americans here, I am so sorry. This country is deeply sick, and has been deteriorating for years.

Our media ecosystem is so corrupt that it has caused a significant portion of our population to openly embrace fascism, while our neoliberal party was too weak to do anything about it.

Trump and Musk are doing a $350 billion pump and dump with your tax money. Trump’s “Crypto Reserve” is a money laundering scheme and you are being robbed blind.
