I see stagflation, which Trump will blame on the Federal Reserve. Then Trump will illegally take over the Fed so that he can set interest rates himself, which he will do badly, then overcorrect, causing a general chaos. Meanwhile, he will be sending everyone checks, driving up the deficit. . .

PATHOCRACY — This, right now, is a more important concept than oligarchy. We have pathological leaders. They attract other people with personality disorders, who seize the opportunity to gain influence. At the same time, individuals who are moral, empathic & fair-minded gradually fall away.

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

If you sit down and take a breath and devote a half hour or more then you will find that this video captures a level of genius that is beyond the comprehension of us run-of-the-mill curve-benders. Almost everything about art is squeezed in here: youtu.be/nCVYEqc_Hw4?...

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

What the Democrats Got Wrong Enough navel gazing. Let's look at what the *Republicans* got wrong. They voted for a known psychopath, a known narcissist, a known Kremlin pet, a known idiot, a known rapist, a known racist, a known failed president, who'd already killed US citizens in huuuge numbers.

Read It And Weep, America 'Bardella, of the hard-right National Rally party in France, pulled out of CPAC citing Bannon’s allusion to “Nazi ideology”. The salute during Bannon’s speech brought cheers from the audience at the US gathering.' www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Not to worry, it's only the steering, and if you do crash the unopenable windows will keep you snug and warm inside your vehicle. Very, very warm.

So, what's the plan if they manage to take down Bluesky? Who's working on a back up?

Important to start admitting that we’re living under Schrodinger’s constitution—one that is not in effect whenever it constrains Republican powers, but is in effect whenever it can be used to stymie democrats or suppress opposition.

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

THEOCRACY What we are experiencing is a Theocracy, but it does not seem like a Theocracy because the people ruling us are not Christians or Muslims. They are the chief disciples of Messiah Trump, whose word is law. It is a new religion: Trump is its prophet & to adore him is its sole requirement.

Since MAGA is essentially a religious movement built upon the notion that Donald Trump has been chosen by God to play a unique providential role, which only he can play, then this entire administration is a violation of the First Amendment rights of every citizen. Nobody can say it's not a religion!

Amazing that no MAGA leader is providing any kind of grand vision for the future, not even an incoherent one. All they tell us is that it will be great. Where is Albert Speer when you need him?
