Let’s run the government like a business, drive the car like a bicycle, and play the guitar like a piano

This.👇

Agreed! Block on your personal experiences.

A commenter on our YouTube channel sums up Trump’s picks

Thank you. I will not bow down to Trump. @democracydocket.com will not obey.

Lesson 1: Do not obey in advance. Thread of lessons from my book #OnTyranny. Written in 2016.

Us waiting for QAnon to protest the fact that Trump picked alleged child sex traffickers, sexual abusers, billionaire elites, and a Soros’ protégé to fill his administration

Alright, who made this?🤣

On Russian State TV, RFK Jr claimed that Swine Flu H1N1, which killed 284,400 people, “never happened” and was fabricated by pharmaceutical companies so they could make money.

Under the guise of defending free speech, Musk has turned X into one of the most restrictive, deceptive and manipulative platforms on the internet. He promised to make X a source of truth. He was called out by his own AI for being one of the most prolific amplifiers of misinformation. ...🧵

I haven't talked much about the election because the real job now is to defend communities against Trump. But: the number of Ds who stayed home outnumbers the number of voters Rs gained. Ds discounted significant chunks of the base chasing after Rs and it failed. Maybe stop doing that?

I'm old enough to remember Kelly Loeffler calling her broker instead of warning her state when she found out about Covid.

The federal government has given Elon Musk's SpaceX some $20 billion since 2008. Let's start by cutting the funding there.

45 finally added a Black man to his cabinet wish list (imo they're not a cabinet until they're confirmed). He named Scott Turner as Sec'y of Housing and Urban Development. You may remember Ben Carson got the same post in Trump 1.0. Because racists assume the word "urban" means "Black people."

Played this Murrow classic on the show today. The legendary CBS News journalist said this 70 years ago about McCarthy: “We will not walk in fear, one of another.” youtu.be/vEvEmkMNYHY?...

💯. this needs to be said over and over

One thing we should all be conscious of here on Bluesky is that trans people were a key part of keeping this site alive when everyone else was afraid to lose clout. They are a big reason we have an alternative to Elon.

Anyone who promoted Trump’s false claims of 2020 election fraud should not be the Attorney General of the United States.

Well, thank God we're getting some blonde representation up in this bitch.

Once you realize that Trump isn’t nominating cabinet members to RUN agencies but DESTROY them, it makes more sense.

The first known use of singular “they” is so old that not only does it pre-date singular “you,” it wasn’t even spelled with a “th” When William and the Werewolf, in 1375 CE, used singular “they,” it was spelled with a Thorn

Signal boosting this:

If this MSNBC story about courts-martial is confirmed, I'm begging people - especially writers and reporters - do not fall for the Trump line that this is about Afghanistan. This is about Trump seeking revenge on the people who woudn't him do things like shoot American protesters.

Do yourself a favor and read this from Fox News contributor Ben Domenech. I’d like to report a murder

Billionaires sure do have enthusiasm for putting people out of work, don't they? I guess that's why we have two on the Department of Government Efficiency Department.

If you’re “strongly discouraging” the release of an ethics report, you’re on the wrong side of history. CC: Speaker Johnson

It takes until the *tenth paragraph* in this piece to introduce the phrase “thousands of children may die”

We need to put so much heat on the unreleased Gaetz report that the Streisand Effect gets a new name. It's time. Do it for Barbra.
