Scott Pelley's commencement address at Wake Forest University—a fairly conventional call for civic engagement and democratic values—has generated hysteria in MAGA world. When you’re running the exact authoritarian playbook Pelley described, any critique is a threat. https://trib.al/TC1weRZ

One of these things is not like the others

Trump v. Biden v. Trump s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?tra...

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Rip the scab off.

This means nothing. Useless. Empty words, zero action. Boycott his events. Refuse to cover his photo ops and propaganda signings. He’s addicted to coverage and hates being ignored. Until you band together and do something, these statements are utterly pointless & pathetic.

This. This. This.👇

We’re financing tRump’s Super Bowl fun while he cruelly denies healthcare to women and food to hungry kids. It’s a shocking betrayal of our values. Instead of supporting the vulnerable, he chooses to indulge in his own selfish entertainment.

The Chiefs have 14 net yards right now. 11 of them came on their first play.

The hope is to be able to run The Fed out of a ranch in Palo Alto.

The Coup owns the media, Congress, The Whitehouse and the courts. Who is going to stop them?

That assumes a campaign of course…

This is the ethos of project 2025, dismantling the federal government by any means necessary

Tomorrow would be a very good opportunity for DC news bureaus to send people from the public health, science policy, and defense beats to the White House press briefing instead of the usual White House correspondents.

I’ll be posting this today

“..currently seeking new clients”

I want less Silicon Valley companies and more companies like Tabasco where everything is just put into big oak barrels and once in awhile an aging Cajun man walks in and goes “how them babies doin”

Have been on Bluesky quite a bit the last two days (for info & resources) & it’s not social media that’s broken. I think it’s us that’s broken now. I’ll post about places ppl can donate because LA is in bad shape & my replies are full of “ummmm sounds like somebody’s never heard of Pompeii.”
