it's still just striking to me that we're five weeks into this, and neither trump nor musk are offering up any treats, to anyone. everything is bad news. everything makes life harder. the only thing they're offering is a tax cut for extremely wealthy people, at the expense of everyone else.

Trump & Vance’s treatment of Zelenskyy was a snub to all of Europe. And the pair of them can fuck right off. I don’t want them having a single rare earth atom from European soil. I don’t want their military bases. I want Europe to throw everything into driving Russia off Ukrainian soil.

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

Kinzinger: There’s a reason that every Trump cabinet member has had to tweet how strong he was today. Because they got the memo from The White House that they better come out and support Trump because this is a really bad day for them and they know it

Pathetic JD Vance attempted to scold Zelenskyy just like he scolds his children over chocolate milk and Pokémon cards.

Zelensky, the ELECTED leader of a free country, should not be expected to kiss the ass of the toddler. His people expect Him to be strong. Trump would have fled where Zelensky stayed and fought. Trump is the worst negotiator

I not only didn't buy anything today, I canceled my Prime membership. It won't mean much to Bezos, but it means something to me. I lived without instant shopping gratification for decades; I can do it again. So can all of you.

"If the DOGE project were even remotely sincere, Trump would be adding and empowering more IGs, not firing them." When you fire the people in charge of keeping government honest, we all know what's going on. @monacharen.bsky.social on Trump's corruption:

"Cuts have no apparent regard for civil society or opportunity costs or long-term strategic thinking. Their targets are Elon Musk’s and Project 2025’s targets. They have found no fraud, just democracy at work. They’re apparently eager to see what happens when it no longer does." Brian Barrett:

When people said, “What’s the big deal? Covid is just the flu,” it exposed a profound ignorance. First, Covid killed over a million Americans and disabled tens of millions, many of these even after people refused an available vaccine. Second, the flu kills thousands annually, but only 50% vaccinate

I’ll never forget nor forgive that the Supreme Court endowed the presidency with immunity, shrugging at the danger of “official acts” being also illegal, even criminal, acts.

Kase Solomón, president of Common Cause, said it was not clear why the newspaper made its decision, but it seemed very much to do with the nature of the ad’s content and possibly to with the political leanings of the Post’s owner, the second-richest man in the world after Musk himself.

Please stop believing we don’t owe each other anything. We owe each other so much! We owe each other love, equity, understanding, community, compassion, and much more. Don’t let this toxic hyper individualism cut you off from humanity. We’re all connected. We all need each other.
