best meme i ever made

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

As a few folks have said, having the White House say that Trump is in a private event is a big admission under Trump v US which says official acts are immune & unofficial private acts ARE NOT IMMUNE. ⚖️🧐

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

The fascist win if you lose your compassion for other people. That's part of the war. You have to keep compassion.

Same!

for days and weeks and months afterwards I lost myself in confounding attempts to explain the mystery

Oh my God. Make it stop. Once again, screaming into the void: in 2024, it was the <Republicans> who actually nominated the old guy with mental acuity problems. The Democrats, you will remember, actually pushed their old guy out & chose someone else. What are we doing here? bsky.app/profile/mcop...

the first rule of mime club is probably the same as the first rule of fight club

At least ~kind of~ serious?

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

daaa bible

anyway periodic reminder that congress can at any time they wish, and should tomorrow, end this

There is nothing that's going to make him stop lying, gaslighting or breaking the law. Nothing ever has. Note well all the enablers. When he's gone they will look to rewrite history and continue their public service careers. Do not permit that to happen.

Folks: the constitutional crisis began when a man ineligible for office was elected and took office, and then immediately proceeded to disregard constitutional structures, rights, and provisions. We are not still waiting for a constitutional crisis to happen. It’s been happening. We’re in it.

If you ever find me in the bowels of a heavily guarded laboratory, peacefully suspended in a large tube of bubbling liquid, please mind your own business.

The inside of the nutshell summed up by @hcrichardson.bsky.social

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

Deteriorate is one of the worst things conditions can do

Imagine taking the doodlebug up to see your best gal and your rival shows up in a flying hamburger

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

What should confound them is that it's EVIL! Annexing Canada is EVIL! Introducing this completely foreign idea from within his degenerate brain is EVIL! Humoring it is EVIL! Weighing its pros and cons is EVIL! Weighing its fucking electoral impact is EVIL! THREATENING OTHER COUNTRIES IS EVIL! God!

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

We are living in extraordinary times and it can be scary. In such times, it's good to check in with friends for wisdom, commiseration, and humor. That's what we do this week with @pftompkins.bsky.social @anamariecox.bsky.social and @garygulman.bsky.social. maximumfun.org/episodes/dep...
