Conservative Christians be like “i sUpPort TrAdiTioNal fAmiLy vaLUeS” by supporting a party led by two guys with 18 children between 7 women, dozens of sexual assault allegations (some found liable in a court of law), hush payments made to porn stars, and 34 felony convictions for business fraud.

The top 1% evades $163 billion in taxes each year and many Fortune 500 companies pay an effective tax rate of 0%. President Musk is cutting 6000, mostly enforcement, jobs at the IRS because he feels the rich aren’t exploiting the system enough. Grift.

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

Trump and Musk have market sharks’ views of the US—they have no interest in our long term fate. They just want to suck out whatever value they can before they take their profits and move on. They’re corporate raiders doing a hostile takeover and selling the assets off bit by bit.

67 fake bomb threats on Election Day 2024. Almost all of them targeting heavily Democratic cities — which had lower turnout than in 2020. Many of the threats were clearly traced to Russia. And the mainstream media and establishment have somehow COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN.

We need to make #CourageIsContagious a trending hashtag and amplify these acts of integrity, bravery, and fidelity to the rule of law. Thank you, SDNY attorneys, for leading by example

"[Trump's] goal has always been clear: destroy functioning government, cripple the nonprofit sector and obliterate the hard-earned bonds and benefits of 80 years of post-war American progress."

The Gaza thing is misdirecting from the Broligarchy rape of our Treasury Department.... jussayin. Pricktator prestidigitation in action.

Folks, whether it's a distraction or not, it is a way to encapsulate everything Trump is proposing: Making America less secure, Making America even more barbaric, and all for very private profit. We need stories to tell to make this salient for people who'd otherwise support him.

We are deeply concerned about the current state of our country. As civil servants, we are doing everything in our power to resist, even if it costs us our jobs. We are proud to be Americans, but what is happening right now does not reflect the values we, as Americans, stand for!

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

How much longer will we have to endure the wrath of boring, unattractive white men who are furious that more people aren’t as impressed with them as they think we should be?

“We have an obligation to give hate no safe harbor and to stand up to what my dad used to say is the greatest sin of all — the abuse of power.” President Biden, eulogizing President Carter. Two incredibly decent men.

To everyone's surprise, it turns out that attaching a money-sucking machine to a hospital system makes it worse.

Our nation is lacking today the precise qualities Jimmy Carter personified: honesty, decency, and selfless service to a greater good. May his life remind us of those virtues and may his passing inspire us to revive them. Rest in peace.

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

A very smart piece by Helen Lewis.👇 "We have to let go of the notion that “mainstream media” is a category reserved only for journalists guided by a professional code of ethics, a mission of public service, and an aspiration toward objectivity or at least fairness."
