The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Let’s talk about sedition and treason, because the most powerful yet inadequate man in the world is having a tantrum about it, and his soulless, spineless sycophants are boosting his message.

1) An administrative burden party is a brilliant idea.
2) This mundane crap is the stuff AI *should* be helping us with for a happier and more productive society, but capital prefers to weaponize it against us, including to make bureaucratic mazes more confusing and impenetrable.

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.
I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.
Full statement:

This is why folks in Baltimore need to support @baltimorebeat.bsky.social .
The rich don't invest in newspapers, magazines, and TV stations to support strong journalism. They do it to prevent journalists from reporting on the things the rich want to do.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.
They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.
Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.
Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

The change comes less than a week after the Baltimore Sheriff’s office reported that a pretrial services employee invited ICE into the courthouse.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is on hour eight of his marathon speech opposing Republicans’ budget bill.
Jeffries argued that the House should represent American needs, a standard he says the bill does not meet.
