Yes, this is definitely the first case in human history that a nation bleeding out under attack has a knife by its throat from yesterday’s biggest friend in need that went bonkers and switched to Al Capone-style racketeering amid war.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

the msm is both-sidesing trump's knife in ukraine's back

A sitting congressman calling Elon Musk a dick is now considered a threat by the DOJ and are now starting a criminal investigation. This is the death of free speech in the United States.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

Okay, please stop calling Yalta what's quite frankly can end up being a mixture of Munich and Molotov-Ribbentrop 😃

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Can Democrats introduce some grandstanding bill about Republican cuts crashing airplanes? Where's their Alan Grayson moment, saying the GOP healthcare plan is to "die quickly?" What's their version of the "Laken Riley Act," for victims of our for-profit healthcare industry?

Cool, Putin gets premium treatment as a revered dear partner as well as everything he has stolen and even much more -- Ukraine gets a spit in the face, an extorted $500 billion bill, no security guarantees, and a new Russian offensive to kill it as soon as Russia is ready. The Art of the Deal.

I think the reason people are frustrated with Democratic leaders is that they expect these elected representatives to act like a real disaster is happening, which it is. Four-day weekends and bratwurst junkets in Munich kind of undercut that

The NYT “Is Birthright Citizenship REALLY Constitutional???” op-ed is the conservative legal movement in a nutshell: “Sure, the law is X, but what if it weren’t”-style academic backfill for conservative policy advocacy. Dogshit writing, fantasyland analysis, embarrassing for everyone involved.

We’re here because the establishment Democrats can only fight left / progressives

New Fetterman just dropped

⚡️Zelensky calls for creation of 'army of Europe' amid US support uncertainty. "Let's be clear: We cannot rule out the possibility that America may refuse to cooperate with Europe on issues that threaten it," Volodymyr Zelensky said at the Munich Security Conference.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Quid pro quo corruption. So shameless. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

American Coup, day 26

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

Glenn will be remembered as history's most annoying fascist collaborator. Not necessarily the most effective but without question the most smug and condescending

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

🚨 More SCHUMER SURRENDER: Once again Schumer/Sen Dems cave giving Rs another time agreement so they can confirm RFK Jr. at a convenient time & then fly 2 a conference in Munich so they "can have weisswurst and sweet mustard for breakfast and helles beer at lunch." (not jk) Not a single Dem objects.

Hearing that @indivisible.org and @moveon.org are pissing off house dems by mobilizing their constituents to call them too much is frankly the single best endorsement I've ever heard for a political action groups.

they sure will It's the ultimate culmination of a generational investment

🧵 THREAD: In the second Trump administration, we’re devoting a significant part of our staff to detailing dramatic changes in the role of the federal government in the lives of Americans. Here are some of the issues we’re watching — and how you can inform our work.

not sure how you can see this and not immediately call for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to step down from any leadership positions. he is absolutely useless

I think Hakeem Jeffries might have amnesia.

Democratic leaders are telling people to “focus their anger on Republicans” because for the first time since the Iraq War some Democratic voters are finally holding them accountable for their role in creating the conditions that have led to this mess.

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

they got rid of DEI and the right wing tech elites immediately started hiring based on experience oh no wait lol

Sure sounds like a concentration camp. And for the whataboutism MAGA mouthbreathers: It's quite different to temporarily house migrants before processing them, vs taking people on US soil, classifying them as criminals, and imprisoning them at a notoriously abusive black site.

This is so good - @vermontgmg.bsky.social takes a stab at imagining how the US press would be covering overseas what's happening inside the U.S. right now:

The richest robber baron in the world illegally seized the treasury. WHY IS THIS NOT A BIGGER STORY! If it happened in a US enemy state we would call it a coup.

Every news thing now is like “law enforcement agency dissolved: all power to Zod!” and then the Dems posting “iron workers have been the backbone of American industry for 100 years, and now tariffs are breaking our promise to them”

I hold everything Elon Musk says in contempt, but you can’t escape him in the mainstream corporate media, and the only reason he’s given a platform for his FASCIST talking points and NAZI ideology, is we’re indoctrinated from day one in capitalist society to worship wealth.

New - Elon Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

My firm is willing to represent pro bono those fired in this unlawful and vindictive purge. These dedicated civil servants were performing their jobs and upholding the rule of law.
