I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Just incredible

I see the already historically unpopular president is exploring how to get the military invovled in “assisting” local law enforcement just a few weeks before the real shortages caused by his inept economic policy start hitting. Probably nothing to worry about.

My friend's student asks me to share: The administration is trying to destroy the Endangered Species Act from within. Public commenting is basically the only way to thwart this rule before getting to court. If you have a few minutes to comment: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FW...

Verses to the tune of “the Wheels on the Bus Go ‘Round and ‘Round”: The movement of the market goes up and down, up and down… The traders at the desks do lots of coke, lots of coke… The wealthy in the mansions get even more rich, even more rich… All through the world!

That's the language of a doomsday cult leader

he…..he actually posted this

Trump is the most economically illiterate President of my lifetime. Which is particularly disturbing when you consider that his supporters love him because he’s, in their view, a business genius.

Sharing this so I can find it later. (I wish Bluesky had an option to save a post!)

saw someone call Pete Hegseth a "DUI hire" and frankly i must lol

Yep, same thought.

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps block the path

You know what lives in my head rent-free? The Panama Papers. We found out about all that money that rich people have been hiding overseas, and it just got memory holed.

Very good, thought provoking thread.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

Hell yeah

Despite putting y’all and ourselves in this situation, we are a stunningly resilient and capable people. We just got too comfortable, life got too convenient, we stopped striving and our leaders stopped asking us to — because we didn’t want to hear it. Maybe this will be enough. I hope it is.

let's face it the real A.I. use case they're going for is a refrigerator that won't open until you pay up, a front door that won't let you out of your apartment until you pay up

Yeah I’ve thought this too

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it

Twitter, Meta, and Tiktok are all state media now. They will suppress and censor narratives, beliefs, and views opposed by the administration. Act accordingly. www.bbc.com/news/article...

We might need to start talking about the broligarchy and the Joe Rogan/ Dana White / world’s “gender affirming” embrace of taking extra testosterone, HGH, and other steroids to feel more “masculine”.
