C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Someone needs to tell all the butthurt Christian Nationalists that THIS is what Christian persecution looks like. This is horrifying. Not being able to display the 10 commandments in public school is not persecution. Getting beheaded for your religious beliefs is.

I get that Trump & Elon are slashing federal jobs, but how are they deciding who gets laid off? The Trump administration is firing hundreds of FAA probationary employees—the ones who maintain critical air traffic control infrastructure. An area already stretched thin. What could possibly go wrong?

Can we convince Tulsi Gabbard that her villain streak looks ridiculous? Not because it does, but because I love the love that natural gray hair trend is getting, and I don't like that she is representing it. I don't want to dye my developing well-earned bitch streak because of her.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

There are also not actually enough other jobs out there to accommodate all of the people in government, academia, aid, and NGO jobs that the Musk/Trump junta are currently rendering unemployed. Just because many will want to make a career pivot out doesn’t mean they’ll be able to.
