Who’s the best economic managers?

Imagine caring more about the stock market than people, only to tank the stock market because of you fucked over the people.

I haven't even met Donald for negotiations and he's already given me everything I want.

There were certainly signs

Trump: “gambling with world war three” In other words, Trump is telling the world that we should wave the white flag to Russia. This is not just appeasement, it is treason.

It was supposed to be a major step towards peace. Instead, the world watched on as relations disintegrated in less than an hour, leaving Ukraine's future hanging in the balance, writes Carrington Clarke.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

#kushner on #gaza It was Mr. Kushner who last year first floated the idea of considering Gaza as a potential real-estate development site. “Gaza’s waterfront property could be very valuable,” Mr. Kushner said last year during an event sponsored by Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, …

This is a national emergency:

Canada specifically targeting red states for economic pain. You hate to see it.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

We are watching Project 2025 come to life. Thankfully, pro-democracy groups are fighting back in the courts. @democracydocket.com's 16-person team tracks these lawsuits so you don't have to. Support their work. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

posted by @ironstache.bsky.social and yeah, as expected. Zero technogarch support. Plenty of political posts but zero action to help. nothing but short-fingered vulgarians with alligator arms.

Extraordinary and hilarious

It's how propaganda works: accuse others of what you are doing. A great way to steal an election is by accusing the other side of stealing it and then doing exactly what you accuse the other side of doing. #democracy

The problem with demagogues like Elon Musk are the politicians who seek to use his trolling for their own political gain. It usually causes them to self-destruct in the end, but the carve a destructive path along the way. #democracy www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Is proof that each of those missile systems successfully intercepted a HIMARS rocket. www.newsweek.com/russia-loses...

It looks like a coordinated attack. My followers list is completely spammed with fake accounts, rendering it almost unusable. I am sure that is its purpose. I have been blocking them but it is taking up more of my time everyday.

The oligarchs are coming to a country near you

Have you noticed he never says anything bad about actual tyrannical governments?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is what happens when the Oval Office comes with shiny new criminal immunity and a guy willing to use it. "I'm trying to understand what the disincentive is from turning the Oval Office into, you know, the seat of criminal activity in this country." - KBJ

I’m normally against high taxes but I think we could balance the budget here via a 100-percent levy on morons

I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social. propub.li/3DGXECO

Maybe Trump needs to consider expelling all non-immigrants from the country. Trump response to recent attacks offers ominous outlook for terror in next term

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people passed $2 trillion last year. 12 people. $2 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

An old one but still sums everything up #conspiracy #democracy

It was never about the price of eggs, it was all about racism.

If a bully is paying you and helping you win elections, then of course you will side with the bully and blame the victim for defending themselves.

⚡️Ukrainian drones made up over 96% of UAVs military used in 2024, defense minister says. The domestic drone industry "reached unprecedented production volumes" in 2024, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said on Dec. 28.
