The Trump post office takeover story has this extraordinary line: "according to six people familiar with the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals." That shit sounds like it's out of some totalitarian regime, not the United States. wapo.st/4309Ysp

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

The world isn't out to get you. Hell, it's not even looking for you.

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Nailed it 🏆

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

You couldn’t pay me enough to say “Rupert Murdoch is here. We owe him gratitude.” I hate this timeline

It’s Groundhog Day. Phil woke up, stepped outside and grabbed the newspaper. He read the first few headlines and said “F**k it, I’m going back to bed.” Spring ain’t coming til 2029.

Wish I could take public transportation everywhere, stop driving my car, and use it for its primary purpose as the dedicated space to cry in.

I guess government will finally be small enough to drown in a bathtub. This didn’t happen overnight. Racism, homophobia and xenophobia were used as a campaign tool. Judges were put into place. Guardrails were brought down. Dark money welcomed. Corruption legalized. Somewhere Reagan is smiling.

Opinion | It is time to deport all the undocumented immigrants. Except the ones that are working as prostitutes. by Melania Trump

the world they want is one where you're either unemployed or work an almost no wage job, you have almost no political input or self determination and you’re happy about it because you can get a t-shirt off temu for a $1

Some people “I don’t think he should have pardoned violent criminals BUT….. “Everybody I know has a big but.” -Pee Wee Herman.” Even if you prefer Trump to the alternatives. You don’t have to rubber stamp everything he says and does. You can admit when he is being shitty. No need for a big but.

How did the Germans who opposed Hitler deal with Nazi supporters? After World War 2, was there a reconciliation? Did Hitler supporters eventually realize they were wrong and say so publicly? Asking for no reason.

If you are a visa holder/temp resident in the U.S., and your child was born here and doesn't have a passport, GET A PASSPORT FOR THEM IMMEDIATELY. Like, make the appointment this week. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/u...

I am white but I think I’m racist against white people.

It really does feel like the end of hope, democracy and everything I believed about this country.

Which kind of MAGA are you? Are you “China is bad” MAGA or “Give me my Chinese spyware” MAGA? Are you “immigrants are bad” MAGA or “we need more immigrants in our tech sector” MAGA? Are you “cut taxes” MAGA or “don’t touch entitlements” MAGA?

I have family members that will post memes about helping one another and bringing love into the world but also watch Fox News and voted for Trump.

Democrats: We got you health care! We saved the economy twice in like 12 years! We created more jobs than we can fill! Segment of voters who benefited from all of that: Can I say "retard" again without everyone getting mad? Dems: Well, no. Voters: Then fuck off. I'd rather die in a ditch.

Jimmy Carter outlived Ayatollah Khomeini, Leonid Breznev, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, Saddam Hussein, Donald Rumsfeld, Roger Ailes, Dick Cheney's 1st heart & Donald Trump's soul.

My daily podcast features the smartest guests in the whole wide world! Today it's the amazing and brilliant @cmgreer.bsky.social I also produce a great daily news rundown with headlines and clips as well as an opening segment called "The Good Stuff" standupwithpete.libsyn.com/1270-dr-chri...

I wish this app had more weird people. Quirky people. Oddly interesting people. It has a bunch of mediocre people trying to make money. And famous people that bore me to death. I’m pretty sure this is the end of social media. It’s time to say hello to my neighbor. God, I hate this.

Certain fandoms tend to be a lot less toxic toward you when you don't dedicated your whole being into hating the thing they're a fan of and your criticisms aren't so obviously recognizable as bad faith and you don't just act like a generally shitty human being.
