Fascism works when enough of your neighbors and family members hate you while adoring an admitted random pussy grabber that gives them permission to hate you out loud.

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.

The first Trump Administration was like Inspector Gadget where Trump’s people kept him from the most gruesome self harm. This Admin is just Inspector Gadget flailing around getting countless people killed.

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.

they’ve gone from “clearly uniformed” to “partially uniformed” to “in no way identifiable” in like three weeks

wow

So moving military equipment around a major city for one man’s ego resulted in death. How awful

USA Today: A truck carrying one of the Army M1 Abrams tanks that participated in Trump's military small dick birthday parade struck and killed a woman in Washington.

“I supported him and I apologize for doing so. He should be impeached and removed.”

Total loons

Republicans throwing some wild shit out there right now. Most of the stuff is so crazy even I won’t post it.

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is genuinely slanderous.

Can anyone tell me why we still have a Congress?

We kept being told that journalism was a bulwark against fascism, a "fourth estate". This is the liberal frame for perceiving the industry's worth. But the reality is the polar opposite: fascism has been allowed to thrive, and could not have done so, without journalism.

The media continues to say that tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people across America protested at the #NoKings rallies this past Saturday. More than 11 million people attended these rallies! And let's get it straight that less than 25,000 people attended Trump's military parade!

For fuller context on the US putting Middle East policy into the hands of Christian apocalypse zealots, see @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's all too excellent third book, "They Knew."

It’s June. I truly don’t think the country can survive the full four year term without major harm to millions and complete destruction of our financial stability. Get this asshole out of power. Full court press for impeachment. No one will follow Vance.

The White House called a lid, meaning that Trump isn’t expected to be seen or heard from for the rest of the evening. Cool, cool. Not like the American people need to hear from POTUS while we’re tweeting our way into a war, or anything.

The Asshole-in-Chief.

holy shit. Honda successfully tested a reusable rocket today, aiming for suborbital flight in 2029 Huge for Japanese spaceflight, they have a lot of momentum right now and needed a high-profile win. Great news!

Mainstream Dems really need to listen to Bernie. There is a reason he is popular and Schumer is generally regarded as horrible

ICE is using racial profiling and it was completely predictable. ICE (basically): “If they’re brown…we’ll hunt them down!”

The NSA says Iran is not close to building a nuclear weapon. Trump says they're wrong. Tulsi gaslights us and claims they're all saying the same thing. Who tf knows?🤷‍♀️ I don't trust any of them. apnews.com/article/gabb...

Schatz: People are seeing what chaos really looks like. We are on the brink of some very dangerous developments in the Middle East, and we have chaos inside the US—not chaos the federal government can’t control, but chaos the federal government is, in some instances, precipitating or making worse.

Pretty much they are just racist Nazis.

not to get all partisan or anything but i think going to war with Iran for literally no reason beyond puffing up Trump's ego would be bad

There is no place in a modern democracy for Winsome Sears’ shocking and violent rhetoric referencing the use of weapons and calling voters “the enemy” immediately following the MN shootings. She must immediately and unequivocally denounce these incendiary and irresponsible remarks. #VAGov

The anti-abortion movement and what it has wrought is more horrifying than any horror movie. It is a rejection of the dignity of life and a mockery of human wellbeing

“America first just means whatever Bibi wants” - @jessicatarlov.bsky.social 😕

If you live in the US, you are in greater jeopardy today than you were 6 months ago. So is your family. So are your friends & neighbors. Virtually all the important parts of the U.S. gov't created to protect us are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized. My latest. newrepublic.com/article/1968...

Kristi "Puppy Killer" Noem gets carted to the hospital in an ambulance and the corporate media has zero fucking questions. They just print she had an "allergic reaction" and is fine. Sure it wasn't an eating disorder? I mean you could ask a question or two. abcnews.go.com/Politics/dhs...

Holy shit

At least the Bush cronies tried to justify it with little pictures. A lot of people will die - and of course generally not the ones who deserve it on either side.

Trump assumes whatever his current fantasies are must be true.

Because true “America First” is fighting an unnecessary and illegal war on behalf of Netanyahu. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/u...

Rep. @rokhannausa calls out @senschumer for failing to lead again

"The American system is a steam train that has always been fueled by Black and brown bodies"

Israeli tanks kill 59 people in Gaza crowd trying to get food aid, medics say reut.rs/4kJ6zUF

WMD bullshit redux to kill people and bankrupt us all over again. Holding Bush accountable for the lies and deaths would have been a nice idea instead of repeating it with even more stupid leaders and more suck up media.

I do love that we’re just re-using plots from the Bush administration now. “We have to stop Iran from getting WMDs” bro you changed like one letter

Call me cautious, but I’m not optimistic about a war run by a reality TV show Commander-in-Chief and his TV talk show chatterbox Secretary of Defense.
