Naturally, Trump finally weighs in on the Visa controversy and f*cks it all up because he has no idea what he’s talking about when it comes to immigration law, but he thinks he knows more than everyone about everything so never bothered to ask someone who does know.

I get the pushback to Bluesky in that it further bifurcates our media ecosystem. But at this point, Twitter’s content moderation is so nonexistent and its verified users so extreme that the choice becomes either move away from Twitter or be subjected to straight up 4chan nazi bile on a daily basis.

consider the people who would be harmed or killed by the incompetence, corruption, immaturity and ignorance of each appointee. The picks aren't “merely” as a threat to democracy; they vividly capture Trump’s complete lack of concern for millions of Americans. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

"Ballot curing"—where you reach out to folks who made minor errors on their absentee ballot envelopes, like leaving a digit off of a zip code—ensures that legit votes aren't tossed. And right now, it could flip two US House seats in California. Chip in to help: secure.actblue.com/donate/chris...

Final thoughts today. My conclusion is that many in the US have no idea what's coming for it. Can't/won't believe. 'The institutions will hold'. 'There's always the courts.' Let's hope so. But the plan is shock & awe. Think high-profile scapegoats, a climate of fear, institutional cowardice.

Pete Hegseth, Trump's declared nominee for Secretary of Defense, is not only a Fox News personality or veterans advocate. He also has deep ties & affinities w/ the Christian far-right, especially the Hyper-Calvinist "theo bros." My latest thread: threadreaderapp.com/thread/18567...

The party that is obsessed with child sex offenders, & is close to a cult that claims child sex offenders run the government, just nominated a guy once investigated for allegedly sex-trafficking a 17 year old girl to be in charge of the country’s legal system. Beyond parody.

i repeat.. do not waste time on seminars and navel gazing. prepare to defend immigrants, protect Trump's political enemies, lawyer up, find sympathetic courts, start new media outlets espec locally. get public officials to pledge noncompliance with unconstitutional, inhumane action. ACT!

Marco for state shows that there's more commonality between Trump's two terms than people figured. This is a very vanilla appt, with the focus on loyalty but also previewing an intense level of wraithing.

I’m getting tired of the ‘but I have lots of followers on X’ arguments. Lots of them are dead accounts or bots. The algorithm is fixed against you unless you pay. It’s a Nazi swamp. Stay if you’re comfortable with that but if you are generating engagement you are working for Musk.

Obama: "I spent 8 years cleaning up that mess the Republicans left me, and then I hand it over to Trump. 75 straight months of job growth. And all he did with it is give a tax cut to the people who didn't need it, drive up the deficit in the process, now he wants to do it again"
