Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Republicans control the shutdown. Top to bottom. For example, construction of Trump's ballroom will continue as "essential" during the shutdown. But the stuff that helps you will not. abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

Just astounding. The reason they can shove through 100 Trump nominees at once is because the GOP changed the rules to eliminate the 60-vote requirement. Something they won’t do to fund the government. Yet they blame Dems.

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere.

You ever stumble upon hard proof that somebody is cheating on their spouse? Yeah…

Why be an emergency contact when you can be the emergency.

The need to silence your critics only reveals how weak and fragile you are.

So many people feel overwhelmed while scrolling and there’s a reason for that. Bots are a large part of the problem. We’ve been breaking down how to spot them. After tracking bot groups that push narratives and attacks, we found some common traits:

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

It would be irresponsible not to assume that the amount of violence the president, intentionally or not, will be prone to urging his most unstable followers to embark on...in retaliation for the assassination of Charlie Kirk...is something every U.S. citizen should hold in their mind as high risk.

I’m 4k words into my next project, and I think my protagonist is going to become a “shadow mommy”. She’s really going for those vibes and I’m here for it. #writingcommunity

This Saturday, nationwide “Fight the Trump Takeover” protests will take place with 50 rallies across 20 states to oppose Republican-led redistricting efforts in Texas. “Fight the Trump Takeover” is coordinated by Texas for ALL(@texasforall.bsky.social), the day of action pushes back against

This is how democracies die.

Step 1: Dislike the facts.
Step 2: Attack the fact-finders.
Step 3: Replace them with loyalists.
Step 4: Control the "truth."

Sorry to be such an Andor Guy lately but this is how it is.

Neurotic personalities are a staple of science fiction. Researchers who study how people react to robot personalities have recently found that neurotic traits in a robot can make them seem more relatable.

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

It’s a vacant stare. If you look for it, you’ll find it. Also, some people have gazes that only seem vacant. I’ve been accused of looking at blank space despite making direct eye contact.
