that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Donald Trump is a Russian asset; it no longer matters if it’s witting or unwitting. He routinely spreads disinformation that originates in the Kremlin and the FSB, and does it to hurt America and our friends. If you support Trump, you have—morally speaking—betrayed your country.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Planes didn't crash when this guy ran things.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Physically incapable of taking responsibility for his own actions.

The MAGA regime is now pressuring Romania to lift restrictions on Tristan Tate and Andrew Tate. These disgusting brothers have been charged with sexual misconduct, organized crime, money laundering and are accusing of sex trafficking. The orange felon always supports criminals.

I'm feeling nostalgic for competence.

Cracks me up seeing MAGAs on Xitter saying we can't afford to support Ukraine because we need the money for things like roads and bridges and stuff that helps Americans, as if Trump has any intention of spending money on anything other than tax cuts for billionaires.

Tom Homan can’t find enough illegal immigrants to deport because they fabricated the ‘crisis,’ so now he’s just gonna spend all his time attacking AOC.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

The community note 🤌😘

I've no idea why Trump is being treated as an appropriate broker at all. If this peace negotiation were serious, it would treat Trump as an intermediary of Putin and allow the EU to act as the intermediary for Ukraine. It's a farce that anyone in the international community treats Trump otherwise.

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

I am not at Gulf of Mexico. Just liked the assertiveness of this meme. Lunatics won’t make me accept their phony baloney bs. Still i persist. Nite nite Love you guys🥰🥰😴😴

We are nearing a precipice.

@theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social @symonedsanders.bsky.social @aliciamenendez.bsky.social @walshfreedom.bsky.social WHY aren’t you all talking about the three congressional seats that are up for election in April 2025? If we win those seats, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social becomes speaker

I saw a video of known alcoholic Pete Hegseth drinking multiple scotches in the middle of a televised presser and started laughing so hard I began coughing as I believe we're less than 2 weeks removed from him promising never to drink a single time as Secretary of Defense and nothing matters anymore

Why does @NancyMace expect us to believe her story if she doesn’t believe @ejeancarroll’s?

TIME Magazine’s newest cover. 🤣

I’m so tired of them. I’m tired of their lies. I’m tired of their disgusting amorality. I’m tired of their faces, their voices, their smirks. I’m tired of their inability to say — let alone do — even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate, ever. So tired.

She's not wrong......

Tucker Carlson labeled President Zelensky as a "dictator" in an interview where he also criticized Churchill,and stated, "Putin isn’t my enemy." The fact that someone with such views has the attention of the U.S. president and vice president should deeply concern every freedom-loving American.

All of the so-called "patriots" who are cheering the felon's dismantling of DEI is indicative as to why it was needed in the first place. That's right. There are people among us who never wanted women, the disabled, or people of color to have equal opportunities. True story☕️

Oops 😬

This is hilarious. I especially like the annexation of Green Bay and the mystery Mississippi River announcement.

This week, @wired.com has gotten a lot of love on this here app. (Thank you!!) But I don’t think I can overstate what a force @bsky.app has become in influencing the entire media ecosystem. So refreshing to have a platform that isn’t actively hostile to hard news.

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 31 MILLION!👏 LETS DO THIS!

They're waking up.

Anyone else super exhausted
