I’m in such a great mood today. Staying consistent with my fitness routine has done wonders for my mindset — it leaves me feeling so capable. I hope you’re all having a fantastic weekend, no matter how you’re spending it.

Trump wants to send CITIZENS to off shore prisons for tesla vandalism.... For 20 year sentences But people who literally vandalized and attacked the Capitol building, threatening the lives of officials to subvert the electoral process... They get pardoned

Yesterday's Trump news (3.19.25)

Daily record of Trump stories. Whole-ass section for racism now.

Feeling stronger and more capable with each workout. Feels like I’m finally back to where I was pre-winter — and that sense of progress is incredibly rewarding.

Trump on drug overdoses: "If you want to get it down close to 100 percent, is with the death penalty. But I think maybe America is not ready for that. China has the death penalty. Singapore has the death penalty ... wherever you have the death penalty, you don't have drugs... it's always an option."

Every day I get more and more sure that MAGA has 0 plans for there to ever be a fair election again. The decisions they're making do not make any sense at all unless I look at it through that lens.

WE LOVE AL GREEN!

It's just so exhausting how obscene and obtuse he is. He is the one wielding the tariffs, he is the one who started all of this. Other nations, with real leaders, are simply meeting Trump at his level. Also, he can't even use the correct contraction of 'you are.' He's so unbelievably dense.

I've always been an introvert, but recently I feel as though every interaction has been a frightening and performative struggle. I'm really glad to have this place, and each of you. Those of you I see commonly on here help me a great deal, and I appreciate that a lot.

I support Canada defending itself from a raging orange lunatic

#Cryptofascists lampshade their authoritarianism by using softer language, humor, or irony to downplay extremist views. They might cloak their intentions in populist or patriotic rhetoric, focus on cultural or economic grievances, or frame their ideas as reasonable responses to societal issues.

So much of the MAGA appeal can be explained by resentment—resentment toward history, toward intelligence, toward anyone they perceive as above them. They want to make these people suffer and then gloat, even if it means hurting themselves. There's not much else to it.

I think that certain observations can be made with things like this about the modern amalgamation that has supplanted conservatism. They aren't preserving tradition, they're creating a new culture of blind, ignorant hate.

Going to be a very busy day for me! I hope you're all doing well, and do something today that brings you happiness.

RESIST. Make them hear your voice.

NATO should perceive this as a threat, because it is one. The US President is quite literally saying he wants Greenland, and will take it if it isn't given freely. Despicable, and it's very scary how normalized this behavior has become. This statement alone would have destroyed any other admin.

Trump on stage talking about how he had a better 1st month than George Washington as the economy crashes and China openly says they'll go to war with us if they have to would be hilarious if it wasn't so sickening.

RESIST. Make them hear your voice.

This is half satire, and very much my attempt at lightheartedness before bedtime. But, Trump knows he’s President, right? Why’s he still holding rallies, attacking Biden, and making fake promises?

Trump to John Roberts: “Thank you again. Won’t forget.”

Republicans are bullies.

Democrats in silence as the President insults them to their faces is a foreboding omen. Boo until the Speaker kicks you out. The only way we can resist this tyranny is by simply not recognizing it as legitimate. When it is only Republicans in the room, it will look terrible for them.

Watch Republican Rep. Lance Gooden rip a sign from the hands of Democrat Rep. Melanie Stansbury. Deplorable.

MAGA: I want a better economy Trump: Crashes the economy M: I want less war T: Empowers our warmonger adversaries to continue invading Europe, oh and we’re invading Gaza to turn it into a resort M: I want free speech and the end of censorship T: Protests are illegal Why do they support this guy?

I cherish those of you who still post the hobbies you enjoy, and the things that make you happy. I am fond of seeing those aforementioned who thrive no matter the circumstances.

A lot of my burnout of late stems from the belief that this is the new norm, and that we will be suffering for quite some time to come. Sorry to be bleak again. Trump is a rallying point, not a creator. Even if Trump is unseated, and his successors too, the mind poison of new age fascism remains.
