Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Honestly, I'd love to see other House Dems devote some of their floor time just to calling Musk a dick, over and over and over again. It'll highlight the Trump effort to crack down on protected speech, emasculate Ed Martin and completely enrage Elon Musk.

I'm seeing reactions that "this is all a distraction!" but no, this is a pretty good illustration of Trump's authoritarian turn and a nice way to break through to normal folks who think he's doing normal things.

Trump won because of a post-covid inflation spike CAUSED BY TRUMP and is now using the new power he has to cause ANOTHER INFLATION SPIKE. This cycle has been true of every Republican President since Reagan. Trump is simply the most corrupt and stupid of the lot.

helluva thread from the hellsite about the comically bad “savings” doge claims to have found (sorry for the weirdly sized screenshots, I had to squeeze everything into only 4 of them)

I'd bet cash money that he cut a deal to get a private mail delivery contract, and to hand over his project to electrify the USPS truck fleet to Tesla in exchange for his resignation. Just a hunch.

Another way this feels similar to COVID — the disaster is already unfolding but the people in charge seem to think it’ll only impact “blue” areas.

I'm instituting a complete and total ban on doomer sentiment in my replies. "Actually nothing good can ever happen and you're a naive fool if you think otherwise." Understandable given recent events but enough!

On CNN Frank Luntz says that his polling shows Dem voters are ecstatic about Trump's first month in office and the Dems need to understand that resistance is futile. They must embrace the carnage. Luntz is the man who helped Newt Gingrich initiate the precipitous decline in our political culture.

Yeah, no. Those AI models depend on the work of actual experts and what they crap out is always inferior to the work of actual experts. AI work looks expert-ish to outsiders in a field but if you really know a subject it’s almost always bullshit dressed up a bit.

Over the last six decades, EVERY ballot initiative pushing school vouchers has failed. We the People want strong, well-funded public schools; we don't want the scam billionaires like the Koch brothers and Devos are trying to force down our throats.

Trump has fired people who process prescriptions by mail. So if you’re a veteran, order your meds earlier than you normally would. They could take a while.
