What’s the point of booing when the WWE has already lined their pockets with their money?

Wtf is seriously going on in America right now?

From Rachel Cohen at Vox on twitter: this video of Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet is playing in the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development cafeteria this morning (per source at HUD)

Fitting

Yosemite National Park workers hang distress flag to protest Trump and Musk coming for their jobs.

Todays hero

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

😭

Give it time

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

Red state alcohol is currently being removed at B.C. Liquor store in Victoria. #bcpoli

Canadians booing the U.S. national anthem isn’t something I ever thought I’d see, but this is what happens when you let a psychopath criminal with isolationist and protectionist policies back into the White House.

BREAKING: Canada has said it has a detailed retaliation plan to the U.S. tariffs that will seek to hurt Republican states the most, per NYT.

NEW: Donald Trump officially signs order to raise prices on Americans with 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and an additional 10% tariff on China. Retaliation is expected. The U.S. is now in a massive trade war.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

The FBI’s core values, including integrity, compassion, fairness, and allegiance to the Constitution - and oh, yeah, diversity, are being painted over at the FBI Academy. Source: NYT.

Air traffic controllers have been emailed by the Trump administration urging them to quit their jobs and take mass “buyouts” just 24 hours after the D.C. plane crash.

An unelected, erratic, ketamine-addled billionaire with far right/white nationalist views has taken control of the personnel and payment systems of the United States government. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole.

Someone remind me again: Why are we putting tariffs on Mexico and Canada?

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

The joke is on us.

YASSSS

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

Time for a good old fashioned boycott.

Yup

Ketamine is a hell of a drug.

Millions of Americans voluntarily bent their knee to one of the worst men on Earth. This will be studied by future generations with both shock and horror. Sadly, we have to live it...or try to survive it.

Wow

"One day we must ask the question, 'Why are there forty million poor people in America?' ... When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy." -MLK, speech to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, 1967 #MLKDay #IHaveADream

Bernie Sanders is undefeated in inauguration shade.

When they show you who they are, believe them.

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

According to Pew Research, 86% of Canadians say that rich people having too much political influence leads to economy inequality in the country

Health officials in Louisiana say a person there has died after catching bird flu. This marks the first reported death in the U.S. from the virus during the current outbreak.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

There is no better time than right now to abandon Twitter. Make it useless. Worthless.
