Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

I wonder how the Supreme Court feels about granting Donald Trump immunity for official acts now that one of those official acts is telling the Supreme Court to shove their ruling and fuck the fuck off.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Here’s a bunch of times over the past few days that Trump and his team told us they absolutely, positively weren’t going to pause their tariffs. Total climbdown.

Every time.

See if you pause all the tariffs except the ones against the country that's kicking your ass in the tariff war you started... you already LOST the tariff war you started. MORON

Raskin: The basis for this most destructive trade war in the history of the world is the profound economic research and policy writings of one Ron Vera, a completely fictional economist conjured up by Peter Navarro, a real person who Elon Musk just called a moron

So now we are being told by the VEEP that 40 percent of those who call in with social security questions are engaged in fraud! Curious, if you or a family member has called in the past year, what was the reason? Washington Post headline: Vance’s whopper on alleged Social Security fraud

On TV at the same time: NAVARRO: “This is not a negotiation.” LUTNICK: “Of course they are” open to negotiation. 🤡

Don’t argue. There will be no end to how much we will be screwed if Lutnick has his way. That is what he’s actually telling us

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?

Just hit 800k followers here! Thanks so much to all of you. Bluesky came around at just the right time and I really appreciate this platform. It's great to have a non-toxic place to discuss politics -- one where links aren't throttled and it's still mostly safe to read replies. Cheers.

Day 68 into the GOP takeover: Prices are going up. Consumer confidence is plummeting. Classified info is being leaked. Social Security is being dismantled. Residents are being arrested for their political views.

Trump has created the illusion of getting a lot done because: a.) Whereas past administrations were constrained by their inclination to obey the law, he doesn't give a shit b.) He cares more about the illusion part than the actually getting stuff done part c.) The media falls for it every damn time
