We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” Damn. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

It is not free speech when Trump aligned oligarchs have their thumbs on the algorithms of all the social media apps.

President Biden just issued preemptive pardons for Mark Milley, Dr. Fauci, the Members of Congress and staff who served on the Jan 6 Cmte, and U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metro police officers who testified. Good.

So let me get this straight. President Musk and Vice President Trump want immigrants to take the high-paying, highly skilled jobs while they mass deport farm workers, construction laborers, housekeepers, home health aides, janitors and others doing the low-paying jobs nobody else is willing to do?

There is no common ground with Republicans. Their president-elect is a convicted felon & rapist who openly seeks revenge, gathers like-minded people around him, and wants to stay in power forever. We don’t need quiet politeness. We need angry, loud, and visible Democrats. Every. Damn. Day.

Trump alone didn't beat the justice system. He had help. It took Oligarchs relentlessly amplifying his lies on their media platforms. Ethically compromised members of the Supreme Court. 70+ million willing to vote for a convicted felon. There's a lot to fix. But it can be fixed. It must.

Wow, thank you all for following: 300k-plus followers on @bsky.app, for a site I only had 30k followers on before the election and that I barely checked. Crazy growth in just a couple of weeks. I am loving the energy and engagement, and lack of trolls, on this site. Aren't you?

Do you think if the report DIDNT say Matt Gaetz paid an underage girl for rape, the GOP would vote no on releasing? Hmmm

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

It’s been reported that Mika and Joe were "concerned” about facing “harassment from the incoming Trump Administration.” Which truly reveals the level of their cowardice—abandoning us and what we thought were their principles, in order to save themselves.

If you’re more upset about a transgender woman using your bathroom than you are about a rapist felon running your country, congratulations, you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...” ...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

The fact that there’s so much more engagement here than on threads seems to point a real throttling of content

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark." That's how horrifying Twitter is right now. There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.
