Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

Wil Wheaton‬ @wilwheaton.net accurately assessed it.‪
"He's absolutely correct. This is not a both sides thing, this is a right wing domestic terrorism inspired & encouraged by the leader of the republican party & amplified by all of its members thing."

This is the biggest revelation humanity has experienced collectively since 1987's The Monster Squad proved definitively that Wolfman's got nards.

Let it be so.

3 MAGA extremists have introduced a bill in South Carolina that would allow the state to execute women who get an abortion.

South Carolina govt lists their cell phone numbers, in case you want to call them directly & let them know what you think.

A leaked White House draft memo suggests that the Trump administration is actively considering stiffing as many as 750,000 federal workers by denying them compensation while furloughed amid the ongoing government shutdown.

How to win friends and influence people.

Ha, ha, ha.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Who said ICE isn’t detaining and arresting Black folks? Some of y’all must’ve forgotten that to “them,” we all look the same. You must’ve overlooked decades of police brutality, wrongful arrests, detentions 👇🏾

South Carolina's criminal code sentences a rapist to 30 years for rape, but if SC's new S 323 becomes law, it'd sentence a woman to death for getting an abortion

Meaning—if a man impregnates a woman via rape he may get 30 years, but if that impregnated victim gets an abortion she would be executed😐

Please investigate this!

Judge Donna Scott Davenport oversaw a juvenile justice system in Rutherford County, TN, with a staggering history of throwing children in jail.

In one case, 11 Black children, as young as 8, were arrested for a crime that doesn't exist.

Revisit our 2021 story w/ @wpln.bsky.social:

Thanks to Trump’s tariffs on China, U.S. soybean farmers have lost their biggest customer and are grappling with higher prices for farming equipment.

Now, Trump has said he will bail out farmers — supposedly with the tariff revenue that caused the crisis to begin with.

Hello?

Not only should Jay Jones drop out of the Attorney General race, but he should also change his last name #JayJones #VirginiaElections #Elections #BrianKilmeade

PDX, the regime is tweaking out over the fact that they can't get us to riot.

They are frantic to get us to do something to justify their extremism.
Do not give them what they want. They want to manufacture a war. Don't let them.

We have to power to deprive them. So deprive them.

Oh I like this idea 👍

Kristi Noem is in PDX today.
She brings the cameras w/ her and is desperate to incite Americans to do things she can film and edit into propaganda vids.
Do not give her what she wants.
The regime is frantic to manufacture a riot. Do not give them what they want.

Fuck this.

This is nothing but red meat for Trump’s base. A federal law that *Trump* signed into law guarantees backpay to furloughed workers. There’s no disputing this.
