From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

I couldn't help but write up some quick thoughts trying to capture the sheer insanity (and illegality!) of that Trump group chat. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...

We need more Jon Ossoffs in the Democratic Party. This is just fantastic.

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc

It’s not about “DEI.”

Be someone’s hero. We all need a little more kindness in our lives. ♥️

BREAKING: Donald Trump declared Joe Biden's pardons "null and void," a French lawmaker is demanding the United States return the Statue of Liberty, and the Project 2025 founder is rejoicing over Trump. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Here’s the thing, fuckface — we knew you were going to try this shit, but you can’t “void” another president’s pardons. The Constitution is extremely clear on this, you traitorous piece of shit.

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump is claiming dictatorial power, declaring in a social media post that the pardons issued by former President Biden are null and void—using lies as his justification.

Openly ignoring and defying the Judiciary. Breaking his oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States. Granting himself unchecked power. This is authoritarianism.

What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.

The team at @votersoftomorrow.org set up a one-click email to all Democratic Senators who are considering voting for this CR. You can use it here 👇 win.newmode.net/votersoftomo...

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

Exactly this.

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

I’m conscious so many people are feeling anxious or angry. It’s because you care. It’s because you have heart and empathy for your fellow citizens. Take comfort from knowing you are not alone, and collectively we can create good in this world. Small to begin with, but it will grow. Rest well. 😊

"Russia is the aggressor, Zelenskyy is a war leader whose country has been invaded, and we should all be supporting him and not fawning over Putin!" - UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

BREAKING: Trump has paused all military aid to Ukraine. To the rest of the world, we hate this motherfucker as much as you do.

"What can I do?" That is the number 1 question I get asked. And at this time in our democracy -- or what remains of it when public servants put their loyalty to a person above their oaths of office— I am grateful that people are asking that question. Below is a video with my answer:

If you haven’t checked it out yet, PARADISE on Hulu is amazing! Great, high concept thriller (trying not to spoil!) with terrific performances across the board. Highly recommended!

The accuracy of the political cartoons recently is incredibly painful.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Dear world, please do not judge us harshly. Most of us are good-caring people, and we hate him too.

Star Wars: Andor Season 2 will follow Cassian’s journey in the four years leading up to the events of Rogue One, with the 12 episode story unfolding in four weekly chapters of three episodes each.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

it's a lot.

So @chrischirp.bsky.social is logging Trump's actions under data categories derived from the typical behaviour of authoritarian states as part of an ongoing project. The conclusions are naturally alarming. open.substack.com/pub/christin...
