i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

The phrase “money can’t buy happiness” is total bullshit. Every working and middle class American knows it. Money solves problems and makes things much easier. You have to be crazy rich to starting getting diminishing returns.

"Whatever equity the US has built up over the last century as a reputable trade partner has been largely wiped out by a businessman-president best known for his bankruptcies." -- Brian Barrett, WIRED, "The Trump Tariffs Are How Everything Works Now."

No one would allow that he could not see these much-admired clothes; because, in doing so, he would have declared himself either a simpleton or unfit of his office.” – Hans Christian Andersen, The Emperor’s New Clothes

MAGAs went around putting Biden stickers on gas pumps. Now Waffle House is putting a Trump surcharge on their All American Breakfast specials.

Just read a Guardian story with the hede "From nepotism to staggeringly bad contracts: the NFL’s most hopeless franchises," just so I could enjoy the fact that the Bears wouldn't be among the list for once.

“How do you think the president was prepared to issue all these executive orders? How do you think they were prepared to make all of these appointments in such quick succession after he got into office? Project 2025.” - U.S. Rep. John Rose (R-TN), speaking to a local reporter last week.

During a game of “finish the sentence” with a journalist on Tuesday, the premier of Western Australia was asked: “JD Vance is a …” “Knob,” he replied emphatically, prompting laughter and applause from a crowd of mostly business leaders in the state’s capital, Perth. -- The Guardian, 03.04.2025

Rep. Tom Suozzi gets huge applause and a standing ovation after calling out Trump’s ambush of President Zelenskyy at the White House. Suozzi is a Democrat who won a special election in a red district—more of this, please! Every single Dem should be holding town halls across the country RIGHT NOW.

Back in 2004, while reporting on a related topic, I learned that an Israeli physicist was doing research into the behavior of bacterial colonies. My shitty Top 100 US Metro employer refused to pay for a phone call to Israel. And that's how I discovered #Skype. Skype's gone. That shitty paper isn't.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

Today is #BlackoutFriday, so I'm not posting anything on legacy social media. Why am I treating Bluesky as an exception? Because it's the only SM exception I can think of. But I was on Twitter the year it launched, and it was an exception once, too. Remember that, Bluesky.

I'm old to have seen some bad shit in this country, but I've never been more ashamed of an American President than I am today. What happened on camera in the Oval Office was bad enough, but today wasn't even about Ukraine. It was about Russian asset Trump showing fealty to his boss. #putin #treason

John Adams once critiqued one of his rivals by calling him a "pettifogging dabbler," and I am left wondering why my slams sound so lame.

Why is patience important? Because his MAGA core support is still largely intact. That core won't crack until his actions cause individual MAGAs pain. It's all a fun game to them now, but its expiry date is approaching. Once doubt enters their hive mind, opportunities will arise. /2

1 month in, and what have we learned? 1. He lied about #Project2025; 2. He's flooding the zone; 3. We weren't wrong to call it fascism; 4. He's predictable, in the sense that he's predictably erratic. What next? Watch those approval numbers fall as more things start to break and fail. /1

There's coverage of angry White people at Congressional town halls and Trump's declining poll numbers, but let's be clear: The majority of MAGA voters hasn't waivered. They see Trump's chaos as proof of Dem corruption, and they won't learn until it hurts them personally. Which it will.

MAGA commenters on an English-language panel broadcast from Germany about Ukrainian peace talks solely between the US and Russia: Europeans are "EU fascists;" and "WHAT PART OF AMERICA FIRST DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND.?" That's the power of relentless propaganda on display.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
