RIP Lucky Lindy, you would have loved Elon Musk.

24 days later

Either Elon Musk did a n@z! salute, or he is not aware enough to know that what he was doing could be construed as such after he expressed n@z! opinions. Either way he is a menace who should be nowhere near the White House.

There’s no day 1 tariffs on MX and CA because he knows it would be catastrophic with Ottowa & Mexico both announcing devastating economic retaliation if he does. Now he punts to Feb 1st for a face saving “deal” that averts this self made mess and he can tout as the biggest / best ever.

Today’s ERA announcement was the most ridiculously performative moment for a Democrat since this.

A grim reminder that billionaires like Rick Caruso will use resources to protect their investments while our homes burn. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Don’t get duped by Republicans trying to spin the LA fires as anything other than a climate crisis catastrophe. Lots of misinfo swirling around right now about Mayor Bass and LAFD. (via @alflamont.bsky.social)

An evacuation WARNING means "GET READY TO LEAVE" An Evacuation ORDER means "LEAVE NOW" Don't "Wait and see". Leave when told! Your life is in danger! Take evacuation warnings and orders seriously

I love a parade but the Rose Parade has this weird unapologetic waspishness to it that has always given me the ick. Very Reaganesque.

I will not be contributing to Democrats who think that pandering to the right or a nonexistent center is the way forward. Including state, local, and national party donations. Not one cent to a failed strategy that makes consultants rich at the cost of the well being of our vulnerable communities.

Remember: The only way to get a greedy capitalist to change their ways is to threaten them with death and hellfire.

Is it me or is holiday shipping a total mess this year?

I’m weirdly pro-this. I can’t imagine anyone better to completely incapacitate the GOP house than one of those two. Do it. Paralyze your own agenda for the next 2 years by putting a clueless man child at the helm. I’m begging you.

The idea that popular policies like extending healthcare and a pathway to citizenship are somehow responsible for the Democrat’s collapse is exactly why we need new leadership. Hand wringing and moving to an imaginary center that doesn’t share our principles is the road to permanent defeat.

Me after months of practicing French and landing in Paris.

Went onto that other site for a moment and saw a bunch of “top moments when people were embarrassed” posts and this “offer”. Feels a little panicky.

Here in beautiful Vienna where the memory of fascism is working overtime to prevent the far right from assuming power. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Trump's new counterterrorism czar Sebastian Gorka loves obscure Eastern European Fascist cosplay

Per the Secret Service, the ambulances were part of Vice President-elect KD Vance’s motorcade. Womp womp

Per CBS tv pool crew near Palm Beach, 2 ambulances and several vans that appeared full of Secret Service have left Mar-a-Lago in the last few minutes.

Your new Secretary of Education, everyone!

Me explaining to people why i’m not already lashing out at the incoming administration.

incoming Trump border czar Tom Homan threatens people in blue states with prosecution if they hide migrants from ICE

There’s a lot of new fascism fan fic happening out there. These guys assuming power is stressful enough without hot takes like “load up on vaccines” ffs.

No more smug armchair resistance. No more performative “allies”. No more hapless parades with clever signs and pink knit caps. If they’re going to burn it down, WE are going to rebuild it. A better world is possible.

It’s Matt Gaetz.

I think the election blues just hit me. The shock is wearing off and his appointments are sending me. This fight is going to be different.
