Randy Rainbow absolutely clowning RFK Jr. is both peak comedy and tragedy. A neoclassical American Tragedy? 🇺🇸🎭

Here’s to living in a timeline so unhinged we need a musical parody (though it’s not much of a stretch) to make sense of it! For now we laugh, we’ll save the panic for a little later 😅

Devastating. Trump admin selling off historic public art to the highest bidder. "It is a tragic irony that murals meant to represent the contract between the government and its citizens would be sold to the highest bidder rather than preserved for posterity." www.alternet.org/trump-destro...
Trump admin selling off historic public art to the highest bidder
Painted figures haunt an empty building. A boy leaning on a pair of crutches. A father and son wandering a barren railroad track. A nuclear family at a picnic table. These poignant scenes were painted...

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.

And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

This is several days old. But amidst so much else id missed it. That’s a stunning number. No wonder they about-faced. Reminder of the power of consumers in oligarch era, not subject to the same kind of targeting.

The Emir of Qatar boarded Air Force One during a refueling stop to speak with Trump

Bribing Trump with a $400 million jet turned out to be money well spent for the Qataris.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Every SCOTUS, Speaker Johnson & his personal staff, & every GOP resisting the Epstein file release, should receive an actual copy of Virginia Roberts Giuffre's book Nobody's Girl to their offices or home. That would be quite a message if these enablers were flooded w/ copies from constituents.

🚨Trump’s team is plotting to declare a fake "national emergency" to hijack elections.

One operative says they can “take steps without Congress” and mandate state election rules.

Independent, state-run elections are the last firewall between democracy and authoritarian rule.

Frost: Trump knows that when they passed the big, ugly bill that rips away healthcare from 17 million people, you usually don’t win elections when you do something like that…

So instead of undoing that, he’s pressuring states to give him more seats.

What California is doing is responding to that

One thing I haven’t seen reported about the ICE building protest: they have 10-20 costumes on a rack that anyone is free to use. Put it on, inflate it and protest!
