Reading an article about today's stock market dive in The Guardian, and they ask "how much pain" Tmurp can stand. The answer is, he can stand infinite pain as long as it's other people who are hurting.

It has been my opinion since January that His Madnesty and the Oligarch actively want to drive the economy into depression. If that is they want, they're doing all the right stuff. There is no thing which they are doing which doesn't work towards it. Global, 1930s on steroids, Greatest Depression.

I know you don't want to hear this, but he's the best President the climate could have asked for. #DEGROWTH!!!! Wait til people find out cars last longer, tires last longer, brakes last longer, and less gas is burned when you #SLOWDOWN! No, I don't support him, but fax is fax.

If you want to inflict hurt on the rich and large corporations, STOP SPENDING SO MUCH FUCKING MONEY ON THINGS YOU DON'T NEED!!!!!

Live Post Watch Party TONIGHT @ 8:00 pm ET THE LOCKET (1946) @ladykdesigns.bsky.social @crisopera1.bsky.social @jauntworksstudio.bsky.social @phyllindablank.bsky.social @titus88titus.bsky.social @marcikay.bsky.social @analgesicsleep.bsky.social @gabsanders6.bsky.social @hollygolightly2.bsky.social

Ukraine has hit at least 100 Russian oil refineries and depots, since late 2023. In the last few days Ukraine has diminished at least 16% of Russia's total refining capacity. The action may produce a domino effect and then collapse. Ukraine is engaging in kinetic sanctions on Russia's oil industry.

After suffering nothing but defeats and mass death in every battle with Ukraine, North Korean troops have been pulled back from the frontline, they will likely be retrained and sent out again when DPRK reinforcements arrive.

Here is why Trump, Musk, and co are desperate for Ukraine to negotiate with Russia and implement a "buffer zone", Russia has essentially lost the war and will not be able to hold any occupied territory without outside collaborators. They aren't negotiating peace, they are negotiating the plunder.

To those that consistently discourage protesting because "Trump may invoke the insurrection act", he's going to do it anyway, regardless of what you do or don't do. Stop playing yourselves and more importantly playing others by blatantly discouraging any real opposition to the Trump regime.

Share, share, share and get out there this weekend!

Day 65 of mass protests in Georgia, despite mass arrests, intimidation by fascists, and severe beatings by regime forces. #GeorgiaProtests

Trump has declared his tariff war dedicated to benefit his oligarchs while consumers foot the bill. Mexico and Canada, which he has threatened with invasion, will be slapped with 25% tariffs. Meanwhile, China will see 10% tariffs while he plans a 100% tariff on Taiwan, in an effort to weaken it.

Another thing about Trump's tariff war is that Mexico was actively working to replace manufacturing from China to lower costs, provide new jobs, and compete on the global market. China was also heavily investing in Mexico to prevent local ownership. Trump's current attack is 100% favorable to China.

At this rate a US collapse is imminent. This isn’t sustainable, some states will have to choose to secede to stay afloat.

Two software developers became quietly known in tech circles in the 2000s and were almost the reverse image of each other. Both developed web alternatives. Both developed alternatives to the current government model. The right has read Yarvin and it shows. The left has not read Marsh and it shows.

Trump's tariffs equate to at least a $2,000 tax increase per US household, it’s a new tax increase without the benefits or representation.

For the, “they’re taking our jobs” crowd. Here’s your chance—$16.50 an hour, no benefits, and no time off. Let’s see how fast the patriotic job-seekers line up for the grind they’ve been so mad about losing.

California’s on fire, and while the GOP is busy blaming DEI and concocting conspiracies, Canada and Mexico are busy saving lives.

Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration? 👀 👎

So true.

Thank you to Canada for helping California right now. You are wonderful and good people. 🇨🇦

This is a fascinating turn of events

He should have never been allowed to run for office, according to Section 3 of our 14th Amendment. He, an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon, does not deserve the honor and prestige of the presidency. He deserves scorn and derision. He deserves PRISON time.

Just to repeat what I've long said about this man: 1. Almost everything he says is a lie. 2. Nothing he says can be trusted. 3. His whole life is constructed as a long con. 4. Anyone who trusts him will ultimately be hurt. 5. He will say anything to acquire power and more money. 6. He is dangerous.

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that trump's bizarre fixation on taking Greenland, the Panama Canal, and Canada by force is all a distraction because he can't deliver his promise to lower prices. Donald is a deluded, demented, dumbass dipshit.

So disrespectful.

Via @Reddit user Pumuckl4Life:

LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

The fact that no news channel is discussing the kidnapping of the venezuela oppositions son, but Trump and Greenland is all over, just means it will be four years of the same BS trap

“As we confront the insurrection on its anniversary, it’s important to remind ourselves of what motivated the rioters that day: The idea that the United States is for white people, whose power must be protected at all costs.“ www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Stay focused on protecting norms and institutions and not on the “gulf of America.”
