The #NoKings protests were good, but need to attract wider support, focus on core issue of Trump’s threat to US democracy, get elites behind it, and be sustained over the long haul, to build momentum and achieve success. This is Americans fight alone, but we all have a stake in its success.

Young adults and students: if you’re around tomorrow and are open to talking about how the loss of SNAP benefits would impact you, I’d be grateful to get to hear your stories.

Rainesford Stauffer @rainesford.bsky.social · 3d

For a story: looking to speak to experts about how losing SNAP benefits will impact people, especially young people. If you have solutions or tips on how people can plug into their communities, find resources, etc., that would be especially appreciated. [email protected] or DM

A president imposing tariffs (on us) because he’s annoyed (by a real ad not fake) is not how the law works.

The White House movie theater demolition ends a storied era in presidential history

The vintage movie venue was destroyed this week as part of the Trump administration's plan to build a new $300 million ballroom. Former President Bill Clinton called it the office's "best perk."

I just heard on Meidas Touch, that the money donated to the military covers about 36 minutes of pay/every member of the US forces. (It might not be 36 minutes but it was a ridiculous amount of time)

This line, most cynically done by NYT’s Ross Douthat, is just the worst attack ad by pseudo intellectual whitewashing feint designed for Fox News talking points. None of it makes sense if you look for more than two seconds.

I can’t believe there are not one but two articles, in major papers, with this dumb framing. It is not NIMBY to express dismay when a big part of the White House is suddenly rubbled

In defense of the White House ballroom

78 percent of Americans support extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits that help make healthcare more affordable for folks and families.

Republicans should listen to their constituents and get this done.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

“History is written by the victors.”

The Trump White House just rewrote it — adding “Hunter’s cocaine,” “Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood,” and “Trans Day of Visibility” to the official timeline. Not history… propaganda with a .gov domain.
