1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

@marcelias.bsky.social Marc, watching you on MSNBC and agree Trump doesn't care if he hurts people. I think it's even worse. I believe he enjoys hurting people, gets off on it. Wish all media would stop calling his cruel, diabolical plots as smart, brilliant etc. They're anything but. They're sick.

I have a question too, @gtconway.bsky.social George. Could this have been a deliberate "mistake" so Putin can listen in on every move the US makes, since he seems to be running the show with his trump/maga/republican puppets now in charge of everything?

I will fearlessly and unapologetically continue to stand up for democracy, no matter what the president says about me. Democracy Docket will do the same: www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

need you to constantly remind yourself that the average normal person has no idea that any of the stuff we are rightly getting upset about is going on. they dont know. and we need to do everything we individually can to make them know.

Just like Trump…birds of a feather flocking. 🦤🦤

Because most media just air or repeat his/their lies, not pointing out, challenging, and explaining the truth, or worse just nodding along. So, their diabolical intentions are further advanced, as they intend. That puts lipstick on the pig instead of roasting it for the stinking pigsty it is.

If I could speak to billionaires quivering in fear, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some money worth sacrificing your dignity? If I could speak to Republican politicians, I would ask: Is the risk of losing an election worth being remembered as a coward?

Hey Lee Zeldin — you gonna let our kids drink sewage water and breathe polluted air to make the 1% richer. This is the GOP way!!! E.P.A. Plans to Close All Environmental Justice Offices www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/c...

There are only two things that stand between Trump and being a dictator -- the courts and elections. Trump wants to send a clear message to law firms that he will go after them. It is ok to be afraid, the question is what do you do. Do you hide and cower in fear or stand tall and say it is wrong?

If you are spending any time attacking Democrats rather than focusing on what Republicans are doing to destroy our democracy then you are wasting value time.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

What I saw was a planned attack on Zelenski in order to defend Putin and berate Zelenski and Ukraine, and JD Vance was as disgraceful as Trump in this, if not moreso. He was clearly trying to antagonize and get the bullshit attack going. Un-American and traitorous from both of them.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

This billboard says it all.

It's an old song. But I think it has a vibe for today's stress. youtu.be/gp5JCrSXkJY?...

Who here agrees?

Ben Folds and Jeremy Irons should get together and start a dry cleaning business. They could call it Ben and Jerry's.
