I’m not sure if you can overdose on schadenfreude but we’re about to find out

Always nice when the "per my last email" and "see attached" emails are flying fast and furious on a Monday. Some days I wake up and choose violence...looks like I'm making no friends this week.

I hate so much that the people in the most powerful positions to fight for us are such weak and selfish losers. It's not even that they aren't willing to fight dirty. They won't fight at all.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

Dealing with family is so much easier when you double the amount of shrooms you normally take. .... maybe triple.

Not Antisemitism (according to MAGA): - Firebombing a Jewish governor‘s house during Passover - Doing a Sieg Hitler salute - Eating dinner with neo-Nazis Antisemitism (according to MAGA): - Saying Israelis and Palestinians deserve rights and dignity - Using freedom of speech on campus

In Trump America, the memes write you.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Congress could end these tariffs today if they wanted to. Every day they don't is a shocking abdication of its responsibility and duty to govern.

This was before the tariffs. This administration is creating generational damage that we will never recover from.

I really wish all the harm being done could be limited to Trump supporters but it won't be. So many innocent people are going to suffer needlessly for years. Innocent people will die. It didn't have to be this way.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

He bankrupted a fucking casino. A casino. Those weren’t just political talking points. It was a reminder that Trump is an incompetent industrial scale bullshit producer and a warning of what was certain to be our fate if we put him in charge.

Yep

Dear Democratic Members of Congress, Stop telling me about what he's doing. We can all see it. Start telling me about what you're doing to stop it! Signed, Americans

If (as is likely) the Dems fumble this group chat debacle, they will have somehow gone from useless to... whatever is below useless.

What's the point of even having states if the executive branch can just withhold their funding if they don't follow ze orderz? Also, let the Voter Suppression Games begin. Also pour one out for anyone with "foreign-sounding" surnames when BigBalls finds you. Like these 6 million people. #Murica

- Planes falling from the sky - Consumer confidence plummeting - Grocery prices soaring - Job losses mounting - Measles outbreaks - Major security snafus - Protests EVERYWHERE - Social Security threatened - Medicare & Medicaid threatened "Two perfect months" 🤡

the Signal fiasco is a good reminder that while these people are destructive, and cruel, and bigoted, and petty they are also really, really stupid

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Literally. @senategabe.bsky.social

If it isn't obvious, you aren't safe in this Trump Administration. Dictators come after anyone and everyone deemed a threat, including their former allies and loyalists. Your white skin, American accent, Christian background, Rust Belt zip code, and/or GOP voting record won't save you.

Post a ship that’s not Star Wars or Star Trek.

AOC FTW

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

@chuckschumer.com Nice little pat on the head from Cheeto Mussolini, You can probably edit your bio now. You and the corporate democrats are failing this moment.

The look of pity you get when you say you're American while traveling abroad.....

Who is 35 in New York and wants to run for office?

No, it will not "teach them a lesson." Quit waiting for it. It will never happen. Stupid people don't learn from experience. That's why they're stupid.

Just logging onto Bluesky to see how a Russian dictator and a South African oligarch have decided to destroy the United States today.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Well damn.....I'm in Australia right now, but you all should check out an amazing author.

It will *initially* target the most vulnerable...but it doesn't end there.
