Obama has nothing to say about what Trump is doing, but he did post his NCAA bracket.

Biden has nothing to say about what Trump is doing, but he found time to post about St. Patrick's Day.

Harris has nothing to say about what Trump is doing, but she tweeted to celebrate International Women's Day.

It's not just Schumer. Dems have no idea how to mount a meaningful resistance. It's just BAU with them while the US descends into a Constitutional crisis. Hand the keys of the party to AOC, please!

@SmudgeTheInsultCat I can't tell if that's an Onion headline or real!

Yes the dismantling of USAID is about destroying any soft power the US has in the world. And yes it plays to the interests of Putin and Xi, and it feeds Musk's grandiosity and Trump's need for cruelty

But it's also a humiliation that's practically custom-designed for Rubio. It's the equivalent of Trump telling Rubio (once USAID's biggest champion) to shoot the family dog and thank him for the opportunity

The debasement is just beginning and his entire cabinet will have a turn in the barrel

The fight to save encryption continues. Why? Backdoors are a gift for criminals and predators.

We must keep our personal data and family photos secure. We need encryption.

Apple is pushing back against the UK’s “backdoor” encryption order with an appeal to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, according to a report from the Financial Times.

One of the things I think people in very political spaces like Fedi miss, is that a good amount of people simply aren't "political". They don't pay attention, they don't know what's going on, they don't engage. They've been told their whole lives that all politicians are the same, and nothing they do matters. It's the greatest trick the "Devil" ever pulled, to convince people that their participation is meaningless.

🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨

I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk.

Elon Musk is a proven danger to good science, but the Royal Society won’t say it. That’s why I resigned

It is vital to act, and I urge colleagues to do so. How can we stand by and laud this man while he undermines scientific integrity? asks academic and author Kit Yates

Honestly, I don't know how Zelenksy didn't punch the cheetoh that whole time. That man has remarkable restraint.

I have never been so embarrassed for our country. What a thug. "World War III," he says over and over, echoing Putin's sabre rattling throughout his invasion. Even sitting in the White House, Trump is echoing the Kremlin line.

What's even more despicable is that the spineless, gutless GOP will say nothing about this indefensible show of gutlessness and cowardice by their leader. Imagine that: Being afraid of cowards makes you one.
