WGN reporter arrested for no reason because ICE is a terrorist organization.
Motherfucking wind farms…
Starting today, 2.4M Americans, including kids, lose SNAP food benefits. Stores like Freshly’s Market in Mississippi that serve low-income communities expect a 35–45% drop in sales.
Children will go hungry & employees at Freshly's lose jobs.
Welcome to trickle-down starvation.
"The Trump administration’s broad threats to science—climate science especially—go far beyond the potential closure of the Mauna Loa Observatory... What would be lost is staggering...The whole world will pay a price for this recalcitrance, not least America."

To put it nicely, I don’t give a fuck what the average layman has to say about climate change or its effect on air turbulence.
Alan Cumming on bathroom bills:
"Why on earth would a rapist go through the bother of pretending to be trans in a country that treats rapists better than trans people."
Is this meant to imply that somehow these camps are intended to preserve human life? Because that certainly isn’t the impression I’m getting. Those lives are being very intentionally and publicly tossed away. We should call the camps what they are.
Trump is a FASCIST with Dementia. Yet corporate media will not use either word to describe him.
Flaming middle finger picture
To the entirety of the Republican Party: be it ordained that your first day in hell lasts 10,000 lifetimes and may it be the shortest fucking day you all ever spend there. The end.
You can cancel the 4th of July; we are no longer free. If there are any rights that the Republicans haven’t gleefully stripped from us, it’s only because they haven’t figured out how.
Only hope
TO DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP.
A VERY LARGE DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED FOR YOU TO STEP INTO. THAT WAS DONE BY US.
NOW DO YOUR JOB AND WALK IN AND START FIGHTING LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE
For nearly a decade, since Election Day 2016, the media and politicians have had a choice: Recognize that we were in a crisis like no other in our lifetimes, or pretend that we aren't. Nearly all politicians, and too many in the media, have chosen the latter.
Ok, *this* is best comparative stat, members of media: The DC Pride parade one week ago had a bigger turnout.
Dear lord this is embarrassing even for the “new and improved” WaPo
my grandpa was illiterate so i have no idea if this ouija board is working or not
BREAKING: ICE has ‘kidnapped 6 roofers’ in South Florida, abandoning the roofing truck by the road and telling no one.
Locals say those men have no criminal records, have families here and are living in America legally with valid work permits.THIS is why people are protesting…
Enough is Enough! ✨
Don’t know how else to say it: you should care about other people, because you are other people.
not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns
los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates
Got my hands on an internal IRS report on how Direct File went this season. TLDR: pretty well. 94% of users said their experience was excellent or above average.
That said, the IRS is reportedly killing the free tax filing service.

Neat reminder that some of the core problems with the US Constitution have been apparent for a very long time

Sure but they can inflict a little suffering with this method and that is absolutely irresistible for Republicans.
Philosophers: there’s this thing called ‘epistemic injustice.’
GOP: oooh!! Love the sound of that!!
Canada looked at us and said “nah fuck that.”
Congratulations Canada 🇨🇦
We love you
Yeah, every time I see Bill Kristol acting surprised about where all this came from, I want to punch him in the face.
I gotta say, either he has some hardcore dementia or some massive fucking balls to pretend he wasn't one of the cheerleaders of all this shit during his entire pre-Trump career.
