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)

"And how an ICE raid may play out in a business is different from what it could look like on the street or in an individual home, which is why it’s important for all restaurant and food industry workers to know what to do if ICE shows up at work." www.eater.com/24364171/ice...

if i see one more “why are people still acting like laws apply to trump” doomer post BECAUSE THEY DO. HIS STUNTS GET STRUCK DOWN IN COURT EVERY DAY. LAWS GOVERN HIM, ELON, ALL THE MINION BOYS, EVERY SINGLE PERSON DOING HIS WORK & THE FUNCTION OF THE GOVERNMENT. THE LAWS STILL EXIST.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

The chyron. All she said was "We will follow state and federal law" and Trump asserted that he IS the law.

It has been a long and grueling week. Thank you to everyone who offered kind words of support. If you want to follow everything happening to democracy in court, while also supporting pro-democracy independent media, please sign up for Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

The Associated Press sued three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events, citing freedom of speech in asking a federal judge to stop the 10-day block of its journalists. apnews.com/article/ap-l...

I’m not saying we should all panic. But maybe the government shouldn’t shut down all the systems we have for monitoring this situation. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."

Democrats need to call attention to what's screamingly unpopular - About 3/4 of America loves the National Park Service & the Postal Service, which Musk/Trump are moving to destroy. Call that out, & tell Americans Musk/Trump are moving to cut their Medicare, Medicaid, & Social Security. Do it.

Precisely what we warned about when the emails first went out.

This is how many hours per week a person needs to work in order to escape poverty. The US is dead last. #Poverty #USA

This is absolutely disgusting.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

I keep saying that he is NOT popular. I'll add that some of these polls show him underwater on the economy which even when he was at his lowest in the first term folks who were Apprentice pilled still gave him good marks on the economy.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. Gift link here: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

well done, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

It’s absolutely a Nazi salute. But note how weak it is. Whether it’s sincere or “ironic” (and that doesn’t make a difference), he doesn’t quite have the cobbles to do it vigorously. He does it like grandma struggling to put her shawl on a hook.

Mark my words — Republicans are going to get absolutely DESTROYED in the 2026 House elections.
