My favourite part of the new Captain America movie is when he tries to extort Wakanda for $500b in Vibranium rights before "ironically" teaming up with Hydra to own the libs.

Seems like saving Democracy is going to come down to a handful of GOP representatives more afraid of a mob of angry seniors in their district than one angry senior in the White House.

This moment continues to feel like February 2020 for fascism: smart people who pay attention are freaking out, your average sea cucumber-like American is either totally unaware or blithely assuming everything will Be Fine.

I think worrying about whether Trump will seek a third term is silly given how much he’s damaging right now and his obvious cognitive mush, but if he tries, it’s hard to imagine these Republicans trying to stop him for reasons as malleable to them as the law of the land.

🇨🇦 History has a way of repeating itself—especially when lessons are ignored. #Democracy isn’t guaranteed. The past holds warnings, patterns, and truths that echo into the present, shaping the future. When we forget the struggles for #freedom, rights, and justice, we risk losing them. #VoteLiberal

RFK Jr is a good example of how society has varying morals based on how rich you are. If a very poor person said they'd been a heroin addict and ranted about chemtrails, they'd be unemployable. Because he is rich he's elevated to running the country.

Instead of responding to anyone questioning him, he resorts to nasty, crass name calling... He often mumbles and acts angry most of the time. He behaves like a hardcore addict. A Russian plant as president and a devious, dangerous junky handling our country's data. AND NO ONE DOES ANYTHING

Predict that some reporter will ask Trump about a third term and he’ll say, “I guess a lot of people are saying I should do it.” The reporter will bring up the Constitution and he will say, “I don’t know about that. It’s a very popular idea, frankly.”

I'm digging down details on a few stories, but I'm very interested in hearing from any federal employees or contractors: * who are just seeing DOGE folks coming into your agencies now * about what has happened in the wake of a DOGE bomb: rehires, canceled programs, big changes, etc. Signal: crg.32

Kash Patel is likely the most unqualified person ever confirmed to lead the FBI. The agency was built to go after the bad guys—Chicago bootleggers, gangsters, the mafia, and foreign threats. Under Patel, it’ll be turned into a weapon for revenge to go after Trump’s enemies instead. A total disgrace.

Important to stop phrasing & headlining things as "Trump does XXX" (e.g. "Trump fires all USPS heads and integrates it under Commerce"); we can simply say he is purporting to do XXX, or claiming the power to do XXX. Mere fact of a president saying he did something doesn't will it into existence.
