No matter what happens in 2028, America will not recover from this trade war in the next decade! Trump didn’t just screw us short-term, we’re screwed for the next 20 years

Progressive values require we, regardless of class, to refrain from accepting the current state of affairs. I feel that among the 1%, many progressive, are just happy this fascism of Trump isn’t hurting them, RIGHT NOW

The fascism playbook hasn't changed—only the speed we're flipping through its chapters.

It’s Friday! Tonight, after work go to a bar, have a couple stiff drinks, and TAKE the cigarette offered by the stranger outside! The worst that can happen is, you make a new friend, GET LAID, or just laugh with some strangers! Enjoy being alive!

I’m happy to see the @houstonrockets.bsky.social lose to @warriorsofficial.bsky.social , only because POS Ted Cruz was in attendance. However, I hope the Timberwolves sweep them! Thanks Golden state, and sorry lol

It took the Trump era to make me appreciate traditional, academic conservatism. Clearly, this cruel, brutish, and thuggish republican administration is not a representative of American, Hamiltonian conservatism, it’s fascism. However, as a critic of conservatives, I can appreciate them more now.

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

Under this rogue administration, is the USA giving away something we might not be able to get back so easily post-Trump? Does military inaction against Trump’s admin mean they’re allowing decades worth of harm to occur for the decades to come?

What happened to yuppies? These yuppies, who I love among, have no bite. These needy young professionals are no lover the cool kids, but the nerds. It’s a damn shame. Bars are empty, few young people smoking, and no real push for legal weed Lean to love young Pittsburgh

Tommy Tuberville says his wife's homestead exemption established his residency in Alabama, but election records show both of them voted in Florida after that. And that's only the beginning.

I love my apartment in downtown #Pittsburgh an underrated city. My TINY little spot in NYC was $4,100 a month. Fortunately, I didn’t stay inside it very much with Manhattan just feet away! Here I am able to afford a massive loft for 1/2 of NYC, and that’s good, because it’s not NYC outside lol

For the record: I thought @terrymoranabc.bsky.sodelimg with a psychopath, lying, loser, and wannabe bully, Trump. The biggest loser, to borrow from Trump’s world of delusional TV (reality TV) because it’s all this bowel movement underneath

On the latest edition of the #ProfGPod with @profgalloway.com featured the @nytimes.com columnist David Brooks. One of the great episodes of any political podcast I’ve ever heard! Nice job fellas.

Is it just me, or doesn’t it feel like Trump 2.0 has been going on for years?

The American fascists party, is failing so quickly that I’m not sure how much longer it will be sustainable for 4 more years.

Surprise, Trump is losing 1% point of his anemic approval every 4-5 days! The late great Christopher Hitchens once said that America would resist authoritarianism because we’re the children of a revolution. Not to be too optimistic, but I think he was right, I hope he was right. #TrumpsATriator

Just for the record, I love nicotine. I do t smoke like I used to, but it doesn’t mean I don’t love cigars, vapes, and even cigarettes 🚬! Don’t judge me too harshly!

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Congratulations to our neighbors to the north #Canada Is looking like a world leader, but a 51st state! The much more stable nation of Canada should be a blueprint for the crumbling US, my home country. Canadians dodged a bullet by avoiding the disastrous Poilievre is a huge win for Canada!

We all fantasize about who we would be if we’d been around in 1861 America, or 1939 Germany. We like to think we’d be on the ready to fight against an evil regime. Well, now’s your chance, as fascism takes hold of the US. None of this is ok, don’t be complacent

If you don’t already, start socially drinking. I’m not encouraging one to start drinking alone at home. We need more people to start socializing. I see so many young, professional, attractive people, but their body language gives them away. Get off the phone!!

Thought of the day: Religion, in its purest form, is a fascist ideology! As the great Christopher Hitchens said, religion is the wish to be a slave.” Compulsory love, and constant praise, is by definition authoritarian! Just drop it, and watch life improve. #FFRF #Skeptic
