Trump demanding 50% of Ukraine’s minerals in exchange for US support is like rushing to your buddy’s aid when his home has been broken into, getting there and demanding 1/2 of what the robbers are trying to take, or you’ll walk out and let him be killed. It’s beyond disgusting.

Trump’s approval numbers are up. Why are his supporters cheering that tens of thousands of their fellow Americans are losing their jobs without cause?

Why aren’t we talking more about Curtis “Moldbug” Yarvin’s and Peter Thiel’s enormous influence on Trump and Vance…. And how Yarvin’s terrifying philosophies are being implemented in real time???

Okay, so if USAID is a corrupt program, why is this the first we are hearing about it? Why have Republicans supported it (or not even mentioned it) before now? What is in it for those sending the money to other countries, if it’s truly corruption? Make it make sense.

Flying the American flag (sadly) became a sign of a person’s support for callousness and ignorance during Trump’s first term. Driving a Tesla will become the 2nd term’s symbol of a person’s support for cruelty and lawlessness. What an upside down world we are living in. #dontbuytesla #sellyourtesla

THIS IS WHY: Reporter: “You have blamed the diversity element… You said that perhaps the helicopter pilots were the ones who made the mistake. How can you come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash?” POTUS: “Because I have common sense.”

So MAGA is against giving minorities greater opportunities, out of fear that less qualified people might get hired… but they’re good with all this nepotism, where less qualified people are in fact being hired?

Elon Musk bought Twitter and renamed it X. He’s allowed to do that as the new owner. But now Trump gets elected President and he arbitrarily decides he wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Denali, like they’re his possessions. This is such disgusting behavior. Please don’t go along with it.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Pay attention Trump enablers: DJT asks you to do his dirty work for him. Eventually his violent supporters or our enemies turn on you, or the government comes after you because his orders were illegal. Then he pretends not to know you, throws you under the bus, and removes your security detail.

MAGA’s philosophy is “What’s best for me should be good for you too. And if it’s not, then you’re either not working hard enough or there’s something wrong with you.” Democrats’ philosophy is “What’s best for you will ultimately be best for all of us (including me).”

Why do we allow billionaires to shape our realities for their profit? Elon Musk’s X, Jeff Bezos’ WAPO, Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News - they push their owners’ political agendas and we follow like sheep to our own demise. Chinese-owned TikTok is about to become beholden to Trump, and we are celebrating?

MAGA is about to learn a tough lesson: When you vote for authoritarianism, sometimes you don’t get the king you voted for. #PresidentMusk

Does anyone know if women in blue states sold out the women in red states by voting for Trump? i.e. Was the % of women who voted for Trump higher in 🔵 states where abortion is protected, and lower in 🔴 states where abortion has been banned? Can’t find any stats but I’m very curious.

What I liked best about our government was that it was invisible. It just did its job without me paying attention to it. What I hate most about Trump is the instability, chaos, constant big changes & massive uncertainty. I don’t want to wake up thinking about this crap for another 1154 days.

The world became a less safe place for women this week. The GOP told the world that as Americans, we are okay with men sexually assaulting women. We don’t condemn that vile behavior or put them in jail. We cover-up for them and promote them - even to the highest levels of our government.

This is such a smart article. We need to stop counting on Trump’s supporters eventually seeing the light. It barely worked in 2020 and it didn’t work in 2024. It won’t work in 2026 or 2028 either. We need to figure out a new way forward. Fast.

TLDR: Right-wing media fed their audiences a diet of slanted and distorted information that made it possible for Trump to win.
