Apparently Google Maps has gotten a spine! 🤭

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to ā€œchecks and balancesā€ and ā€œguardrailsā€ working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands… open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

If you wanted to know how an autocracy would start in America, it begins by releasing violent thugs from prison who beat up police defending Congress, illegally firing every Inspector General, and seizing billions appropriated by Congress for people with no authority to do so.

I’m confused how awarding 4 years of back pay in a lump sum to 8,000 service members who were discharged for refusing to get vaccinated is good for the morale of the other 99% of troops who spent the last 4 years working their asses off on active duty for that same pay.

Oligarchs telling us to get over it (re: reacting to higher prices as a result of tariffs) can go fuck themselves and their money 🤬

Timely. 😳

Deadass

Imagine being a hard-working American busting your ass to care for yourself and your family, watching a career criminal and a cadre of billionaires raising prescription drug prices, freeing criminals, killing environmental protections, throwing the economy into crisis—and thinking you've won. #Cult

Very soon, MAGAs are going to feel the crushing weight of objective reality come smashing down upon their red hats, as the truth becomes terrifyingly clear: they have lost, too. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/magas-lost... #TrumpInauguration

It’s unfathomable to imagine how much crueler this administration will be over the next four years

Yup

Montage of clips of Trump ā€œguaranteeingā€ that he will end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office, that ā€œit wouldn’t even be toughā€ for him to do, and that ā€œeveryone will be happyā€ with the end result.

ā€œThe restoration of harmony in our society will be a monumental task after four years of Donald Trump, yet it must be pursued with the same determination to remove from power what is now consolidating it at a rapid pace.ā€ steveschmidt.substack.com/p/trumps-rev...

JUST IN: More than a dozen Democratic state attorneys general sued Tuesday to block Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship, arguing it violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of citizenship for all children born in the U.S.

After Donald Trump was sworn in as President, Elon Musk celebrated the occasion by giving a Nazi salute to a Trump rally crowd. I look at Musk's gesture and discuss the implications it has on the Trump presidency moving forward. Watch here: youtu.be/NLRKEM8K5Ts

Human beings who want to rename entire bodies of water, find it unthinkable that human beings want to rename their bodies.

Trump takes office in just 10 days but we've already seen examples of his campaign promises failing to become reality. I look at Trump's comments on Ukraine, Elon's clips about DOGE and Don Jr's fraudulent trip to Greenland. Watch here: youtu.be/J3AT1gyVg8s

These 44 Republicans voted against forest management wildfire prevention in December.

Trump supporters think they've won but can't tell you substantively what they've won or how their lives will be any better. The wake-up is gonna be brutal for them. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/magas-lost...

I appreciate this point from Ben Meiselas @meiselasb.bsky.social in regard to the President: Biden recognizes that if he had been less humble and spent time bragging and boasting instead of keeping his head down and doing the hard work, he may have received more credit for his historic achievements.

ā€œAmericans are realizing it’s not trans people or migrants who hurt this country—it’s the exploitation by billionaires who are rigging the economy and perpetually pulling the rug. Americans are realizing corporate media are rug pullers for the oligarchy.ā€ open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Yup. šŸ˜‘

I can certainly relate
