This is what Elon Musk looked like before he took hormones, had a hair transplant and plastic surgery.

All stuff that he wants banned for Trans people.

When Cosplay Kristi “more plastic than brains” Noem tried to turn America’s airports into propaganda screens, public servants refused to bow. From JFK to Portland, they chose law over lies & democracy over fear.
Read how resistance took flight in our latest piece:

it must be awesome being a senate democrat. imagine living in the eternal present, unbothered by the knowledge that everything has gotten so much worse and unable to comprehend that your own inaction & capitulation to fascists is dooming tens of millions to poverty & death

And you, governor, should stop providing state cops to police protesters for ICE at Broadview.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 15h

ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers.

The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

I thought they said it was wrong for an administration to ask a social media platform to take stuff down.

I’ve seen a lot of woodwinding that could be described as aggressive, lemme tell you they will come back more powerful than you could imagine

that’s right, oboe

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines.

We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

Jeff Yang @originalsp.in · 9h

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

We just had Honk here, and if a member of a Honk band was disappeared, we'd be batshit.

Where is she?

In case anyone here is too young to remember, we made fun of Romney because he was an out-of-touch hedge fund manager.
Nobody called any Republicans "Hitler" until at least two years into Trump's first term. And then, even the most-online people waited until they got Godwin's permission to do it.

Joshua Erlich @joshuaerlich.bsky.social · 9h

the never trumpers have repeated this bullshit so much that some people believe it

Dan in Kansas City @daninkc.bsky.social · 14h

The media smeared Mitt Romney as Hitler. Then Republicans thought, well we might as well run Hitler.

Just saw the report that Graham Platner in Maine has a new challenger, the retiring Governor. Seems like a nice lady, but his interview was 🔥, and what he said about grassroots organizing & speaking directly to people vs. fundraising+$$$ consultants+ last-minute TV ads got right to me!

Platner!

Who is this woman and her silent but adorable partner? I gasped in laughter and nearly a) choked on tepid filtered water, and b) drowned my laptop and cost myself $1,500!

Who is she? What Goddess manifested Amy Sedaris and Molly Ivins in one body and delivered it unto us?
