Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

"The ultra-rich have captured more of America’s wealth than even the nineteenth-century tycoons of the Gilded Age. Scholars who study inequality as far back as the Neolithic period struggle to find precedents."

Probably a good idea to go with an instrumental version here

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

“miasma theory” is about as credible as geocentrism and the fact that we are talking about the fucking HHS secretary setting health policy because of it should end this administration all by itself

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

NEW: Democracy is alive in Philly! Amazing scenes in Philadelphia as thousands hit the streets for the anti-Trump protest. #NoKings #50501Movement

Hey @cnn.com, ‘we will kill you’ is not a “stern warning”. It’s a death threat. A sheriff is threatening the lives of the community he swore an oath to protect. For exercising their rights to peacefully assemble. Stop being stenographers for fascists.

"Someday somebody will explain that." He always acts like his own personal ignorance is shared by the entire globe. If he does not know it, it cannot be known.

The EPA recently withdrew a legal complaint filed last year against the GEO Group, a major Trump donor that has more than $1 billion in contracts with the administration to run private prisons and ICE facilities. By @fastlerner.bsky.social‬ and @lisalsong.bsky.social‬

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

True story bro.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Here’s the thing about the Trump Administration talking about violence: 1. They’re lying. No doubt there’s some but they are dramatically exaggerating. 2. They’re lying in order to justify escalating violence and violations of laws and rights. 3. Their goals are bigger than today. /1

lmao The Sun has a livestream of the “LA riots” on YouTube and when you click on it it’s a bunch of troops standing around doing nothing you can literally hear birds singing in the background what a time to be alive

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Elon Musk should be remembered as both an amoral monster who did a tremendous amount of harm during his White House tenure, and also as just a bit player in the GOP’s decades-long push to deny public resources to people they don’t like www.fastcompany.com/91348065/tru...
