Holy shit! There is no strategy. The fascist Trump regime is flying by the seat of their pants. Trump is running the country like he runs his businesses — which is into the fucking ground. 😳👇

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

The skeleton key to understanding reactionary conservatism is quite simple: they are scared, all the time, of everything.

Wait so the plan is literally to take government workers researching kidney disease and keeping the water clean and have them make iPhone cases instead

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

Pass it around, people !

Been offline today (like me) and want to get a sense of today's "Hands Off!" rallies across the country? Just scroll through @maddow.msnbc.com's feed of reposts and shares

Who did this?

👇🏽 🎯 the point is to force the world to beg him for carve outs (and pay him off) Mafia-style Government

Very important point here: champagne in the Kremlin. Economies disrupted, trade disrupted, alliances disrupted, confidence undermined, uncertainty, chaotic unpredictability, desperation for some. All a gift to Putin. Champagne in the Kremlin.

Humanity cannot progress while stock market booms mean riches for wealthy speculators and gamblers while stock market crashes mean pain and poverty for the masses.

Good to see this oligarchs influence over elections is wavering 🪤

WORLD-FIRST: Ground-breaking research published today in the Ornithologist Journal has, for the first time, translated common UK bird vocalisations into equivalent phrases in the human language. The results tell us a lot! Extracts below... 🧵

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

This keeps getting worse and worse.

It was a crazy day with so many ups and downs but we got 3 dogs safe. Come along in this video. Hopefully gives you a better insight into what we do and face on a daily basis... www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvPh...

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants. History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well. 🧵

Terrifyingly apt

Our farmers will lose billions in USAID cuts. His tariffs will not make up the shortfall, because most of the produce coming in does not compete with local produce. People aren't going to buy more Idaho potatoes because Mexican bananas cost more. + labor shortages. The fuckening continues.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

aint no way we cut medicaid and housing assistance so jeff bezos could buy this shirt

McDonalds and Walmart make billions of dollars in taxpayers' subsidized profits. Yet, many of their hardworking employees need taxpayers' subsidized public assistance The greatest restrictions of freedom in the US are poverty & struggle #NaziMusk #BoycottTesla #BoycottTarget #EconomicBlackOut

DOGE is asking for help identifying waste, fraud and abuse. Some ideas: DOGE. Daytona 500 flyovers by AF1. Super Bowl appearances (while leaving at halftime.) SpaceX contracts. Presidential golf outings. Armored Teslas...

I swapped my search engine to Ecosia. It plants trees with profits. It’s not US based. Bye Google.

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

So Dutton would deliver the same attitude as Trump heh Michaelia - destroying the normal function of government, damaging trade relations, indulging in rampant cronyism, bribery and bullying, and appointng completely unqualified people to run government departments. Thanks for making that clear

Catherine Cortez Masto just casually exposing that RFK Jr. has no idea what HHS does or how it works.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

Please please please watch this. Please.

What would I ask? "What was your analysis of the Houthi Bombing in October? What counsel would you give POTUS regarding next actions?" "What should the US strategy be in Syria ?" " How would you counter Chinese aggression on the south China Sea ?" "How would you assure civilian oversight of DOD"

We don’t have to choose this fate. But I fear we will.

I have a feeling this meme format is going to get a lot of use over the next four years.

Sen. Ruben Gallego’s son told Kamala Harris he’s sorry she didn’t win the election. Here’s her response:

Brilliant 🤣

A reminder of the video which brought many of us, so much laughter this year.

Bobby Jr. shares his secret to getting brain worm.

Pretty damn spot-on, don’t you think?

When you spent billions and destroyed your brand to recreate 1930's Germany and got 1780's France instead.

🧵 I know y’all are probably tired of talking about Musk, but that’s what I’m going to talk about today. Specifically, I’m going to talk about just how much he’s screwing himself right now… and I’m going to encourage everyone to please let him continue screwing himself. Walk with me… +
