There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Be real. These guys didn’t give a good gotdamn about Columbus ‘til they started to feel like something was being “taken away” from them, rather than seeing it as something being restored via Indigenous Peoples Day.

Folks simply enjoy being shitty to others, and that’s deeply, truly fucked up & sad.

It's amazing how much of not falling for America's settler colonial narrative means actually learning the documented, recorded facts of the noble figures of their pantheon. They're monsters with appetites for cruelty.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

A 654% price cut? Wow, that’s amazing maybe next he’ll announce gravity is down 900%. At this point, 🍊💩’s math is less about economics and more about pure fantasy like he’s trying to outbid reality itself.

Trump: As an example one particular drug that's hot, very hot. 654% on inhalers... They will be averaging 654% reduction in price. Can you believe it?
lan Gillespie @IanRGillespie
No, I cannot believe the price of this medication will be reduced by 654% since it's mathematically impossible to reduce the price of anything by more than 100%
TheSteadyState • @steadystate2025
Trump announces a 654% reduction in prescription prices. Great news! If you usually pay $200, you'll now get a $1,108 refund. Dictators always promise miracles
—they just never deliver math that works.

Ezra Levin’s message here is perfect.

Despite all their best efforts at scaring us, it’s clear the goon squad regime are the ones who are scared.

Let’s make it the biggest demonstration in American history.
