Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

I literally reported this Wednesday.

Crypto Regulating Itself

How it started. How it’s going

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

Being a bad American and wearing a "Canada" T shirt tonight.

I hate these fucking people so much.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

The good news is i saved you 60 billion dollars. The bad news is that is a typo i saved you 600 dollars and also your plane is falling out of the sky

Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet. Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

Gee, I remember when Republicans went ballistic when Biden said stuff like this.

"Why aren't people nicer to me as I give faux scholarly cover to a political movement to strip children of their American citizenship?" There's a total lack of awareness about the gravity of what they're doing, besides the sloppy work.

This is fucking incredible.

repeating myself a bit here but trump can issue an executive order but that doesn’t necessarily mean shit if it doesn’t have a firm statutory basis. if congress lays out in law what the duties of a particular official are, then no, the president can’t decide those duties are something else

Biggest pieces of shit in the world.

TRUMP TAKE EGG

If the Trump Administration as stating on the record that Musk is merely an advisor and not formally part of DOGE, then he has no protection under the supremacy clause or as a gov’t officer, and state governments should announce criminal charges & arrest warrants ASAP

Remember those daily covid briefing by blue state Governors? They provided a fact-based counter narrative to Trump's lies. We need that again. Daily briefings plus fearless journalism & massive protests will help fight this threat. My latest⤵️ open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Lmao

I know you don't like it when I bring here stuffing Twitter. But, guys, it's 3 years anniversary of the most delusional take in history

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

I’m so fucking furious at this shit

most journalists today can be divided into two groups: dedicated, impoverished people who mostly write for publications you've never heard of that started eighteen months ago or JP Random House The First, who writes columns for the New York Times about which ethnic groups it should be OK to hunt

trump crash plane

will is right but also if you can't think of anything better just say "trump take egg" - a intentionally stupid replacement-level-quality message that nonetheless at least works compared to all the ridiculous stuff you're trying instead

Actually this is very much like letters that Soviet citizens wrote to Stalin from inside prisons and camps in the 1930s - proclaiming loyalty and expressing confusion that there must be some mistake in their case (read Evgenia Ginsburg's memoir Into the Whirlwind for examples)

Trump take egg
