Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, Donald Trump is publicly supporting a conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was actually killed in 2020 and replaced by a robot clone. Just a heads up in case you know of anyone who might be interested in investigating the cognitive deterioration of the commander-in-chief.

Lately, I've been reminding myself that 75 million voters chose Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. We didn't defeat Trumpism at the ballot box. But remembering that 75 million US adults rejected hatred and fear helps me stay encouraged during these difficult days, weeks, and months.

They Should Arrest His Supplier And Cut Him Off! That’s The Way It Works, Right?!?šŸ˜ŠšŸ’™

We fought a war so we wouldn’t have a ruler who wanted majesty. It’s the people’s house, not a palace or a tacky casino.

Sweet little ā€œpeace, love and prideā€ parade in wholesome little Gold Hill, Colorado. Just happens to be scheduled opposite the fascist birthday party. Come celebrate with us instead.

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

The real consequences of enabling evil to harm innocent people. For shame, Republicans!

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Only scary if you find ordinary people of different colors and income levels threatening. I love public transportation! Lived without a car in LA (not an ideal place for it, but it mostly worked).

These SpaceX failures are being financed by taxpayer dollars. So far, over $7,000,000,000. So this is *actual* government waste, unlike the *alleged* waste at Social Security that DOGE was unable to find.

No one could have imagined any of the shit that's happening now actually happening here. I think the whole world is watching and shaking their heads in shock.

The ONE he is good at is picking the absolute worst & least human to fill these jobs. example: could there be anyone worse the RFK jr.? or Kristi Noam? These are truly Batman villains.

Actually, if she had been learning English grammar in 5th grade instead of practicing to be a professional mean girl, she’d not sound so stupid. But she’d still be a mean girl.

Yes, please! This has gone too far.

Yup.

#ProudBlue Bravo! šŸ‘ More of this, please.

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly ā€œobstructingā€ ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

European airlines are redirecting flights from U.S. cities to destinations like Canada, Mexico, and Brazil as ā€œmore passengers [opt] for destinations that offer smoother entry, better seasonal deals, and fewer political complicationsā€.

SCIENTIFIC MIRACLE 🧬 I’m betting Americans will not have access to this vaccine. šŸ’‰ … because of RFK Jr.ā€˜s aversion to vaccines in general… šŸ™„ …and CRAZY RELIGIOUS FANATICS who consider STDs punishment for having SEX. 🚩 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

As the Trump administration’s deportation efforts continue, here’s a refresher — compiled by @capitalb.bsky.social using information from the Florida Immigrant Coalition, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the National Immigration Law Center — on the rights of migrants.

As a queer person with a graduate degree, I’m not impressed. Y’all want FEWER of us, eh? I’d like fewer hateful liars in public office, thanks! Going back to my very much NEEDED job as a middle-class working electrical engineer now…drawing plans for those electricians you do value to build. šŸ¤“šŸ¤šŸ‘·ā€ā™‚ļø

Kamala Harris on ā€œthe big, beautiful bill:ā€ ā€œIt’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.ā€ Nailed it! šŸ”„

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.Ā  Ā  Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Ā  Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Colorado peeps — go to next level alert. Mask, avoid stuffy indoor environments, eat outdoors, etc. I use an Aranet CO2 monitor as a proxy for infection risk… over 800 ppm and I 😷. Super handy and evidence-based.

NOAA predicted that we will have a worse-than-average hurricane season. To prepare for it, Trump fired thousands of FEMA experts and disaster recovery workers. America's disaster preparation efforts are just that: an absolute disaster.
