Just a reminder that the Democratic Party enables Republicans to do whatever damage they can when they’re in power and then cleans it up while telling everyone that they really wish things could change but it just isn’t time to do it yet. Because of the messes, of course.
This disgusting shit doesn’t belong in American society.
And Republicans who support it don’t belong in Congress.

Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,
Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below
As I have said since Feb 2025, Trump is in office to solve Putin's problems. How else are you going to ensure that Putin's failed state becomes prosperous? it is already having to be propped up by China.
Wild how this just keeps happening- what could be going on?
Rich people pay lawyers, accountants, and the Republican Party to keep their taxes low. The IRS is outgunned at all levels.

Remember when Rep. Greg Gianforte, now the GOP governor of the state, body slammed a reporter into a table?
We probably need to shut down the Montana Republican Party entirely until we can figure out where all this violent rage is coming from.
That is a great line summarizing the MAGA mind!
The liberal justices call out the *rank* hypocrisy of their Republican colleagues on the Court
One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.
This is exactly the same rhetoric that the Klan, White League, & other white conservative paramilitary organizations used to destroy multiracial democracy during Reconstruction, disfranchising Black voters & murdering anyone who got in their way.
It should also end any discussion of whether parallels to authoritarian regimes are entirely appropriate at this stage

Even if Democrats are all in, I'm not sure the usual sorts of congressional inquiries are going to be remotely enough to bring all of these crimes to light and all these criminals to justice.
Remember, when news outlets first reported that Kash Patel was spending $75,000 of taxpayer money to fly an FBI Gulfstream jet to Milan so he could watch Olympic hockey, the official spokesasshole for the FBI had this to say:
The FBI Director, a hockey nut, flew the FBI jet to Italy to...uh...inspect security, prior to the Olympics and World Cup. So be grateful:
look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british
All the college and university "leaders" who chose to surrender in advance on this, take a bow
And then get in the fuckin sea
Between this and the story about the ice agents who ate at a Mexican restaurant and then arrested some of its workers when they were done, it's a reminder that these people reject even the most basic social agreements of hospitality and of helping others. They're sociopaths.
Mr. Douglass rose, and, taking the violin, played once more to the delight of the PRESS representative "The Star Spangled Banner, and the goodbye was exchanged, and thus closed the longest interview ever obtained with the "Sage of Cedar Hill."
How to end an interview:
In 1889, Frederick Douglass told a visitor to his DC home that any government that would "grant the right of suffrage and deny itself the power to protect that right is...a sham and a fraud."
Then he grabbed his violin and played the Star Spangled Banner.
More ads like this please! TRUTH!
I struggle with this a lot. We could have had Elizabeth Warren or Bernie. I wish we could have had them. But the primary voters chose Joe Biden. It wasn’t close. Until we have ranked choice voting, I am not sure progressive candidates will prevail with the current way voters make decisions.
Fuck ICE. Abolish ICE.
If these cowards leave it's because our fellow neighbors stood up to tyranny and defended their community members. This is not a political win, but a win of the people, by the people, for the people.
It is now us politicians' jobs to seek justice and restitution.
Republicans taking the snap after getting a stern letter from Schumer….
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
"A threat to anyone’s constitutional rights is a threat to us all. Today, immigrants are being detained without due process. Tomorrow, under the Government’s [view], American citizens could be subject to the same treatment. This Court will not allow such an unraveling of the Constitution."
halftime show
what a shot
"God Bless America" and then lists every country in the Americas. Bad Bunny crushed the Super Bowl.
Fuck ICE
