MAGAs see one child with cancer: *give tearful ovation* MAGAS see Trump cutting funding for childhood cancer research which will affect millions of children with cancer: *ignore it completely*

If you own a cybertruck, it's not DOGE that made you look like a douche. You got there on your own merit.

Just an obvious point that anyone with the inside word on when these these total reversals are going to be announced is in a position to make almost limitless amounts of money. Don't forget that given the kind of people who make up this administration.

This is truly a staggering moment.

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

Yup.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

We can learn from the French.

Imagine you have over $400 billion and you spend your time working to deny hungry children around the world meals to avoid starvation.

Fact

“The reason we face the worst is because it helps us imagine the best.” What a fantastic, hopeful read. Treat yourself to this, and then spread it around.

It's possible there could have been worse timing for a Canada-US hockey game. But probably not.

Let the toddlers scribble on the map with dumb made-up names. Every mom knows we'll just come in and clean that shit up with a magic eraser. Focus on the shit that's actually hurting people.

The Oregon Trail generation speaks

Joining a new social media platform is an interesting exercise in humility.

these cabinet announcements are like an advent calendar counting down to the apocalypse

Learn the difference between "It sucks" and "I don't like it."

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

Maybe you just needed to see this as much as I did; also, I love sea otters and I want him to come live with me.

Oops 😬

Still can’t stop thinking about the binary nature of American elections, a few hundred thousand votes in three states all the distance between just normal stuff and armed officers keeping House reps out of the department of education and a guy named Big Balls canceling everyone’s Medicare

Keep those LOTR references coming.

Welp, I have discovered the key to lowering my grocery bill. It's norovirus. Nobody in this house has eaten a damn thing in three days. Come by for a kiss if you, too, want to lower your grocery bill while crying in the bathroom*. *for reasons other than the usual

I’m sure that if AOC roused an angry mob of Democrats to storm the Capitol and smear their poop on the walls, Donald and the Republicans would call it the worst terrorist attack in history without a shred of irony.

I have about two dozen egg whites in my freezer. Not sure if I should make an angel food cake or sell them on the black market to fund my kids' college education. I do really like angel food cake.

Except everything is not back to normal and US allies will not forget.

Donold backed down on tariffs, claimed victory and took credit for things that Biden had already negotiated. But Canadians will never forget this. He has made a critical error.

He will pull back the tariffs and declare he won the war. Canadians, however, have been mobilized. The threats to Canada's sovereignty will not be taken lightly or forgotten easily. What was broken this weekend won't be easily mended.

A foreign-born private citizen with unfathomable wealth & deep financial ties to our nation’s adversaries has seized control of our government and is currently canceling congressionally apportioned spending without a shred of authority. And no one seems to be able to stop him. So this is fine.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

I have no doubt Musk interfered with the election. But Dems were so busy trying to prove they are on higher ground and not "like them" that they didn't make a peep, even when Trump basically said Musk interfered.

As of this moment, Canadians are united as one in defiance of tyranny. Americans? Most Americans have no idea that the idiot monster they elected because they forgot to vote has started a massive trade war that will upend their lives.

What the right wing REALLY means:

We could have had a competent president, lower drug prices, home buyer assistance, a Cabinet filled with qualified adults and not sociopaths, global respect, and national sovereignty...

It took one week to get Trump voters to go from “eggs need to be cheaper” to “let seniors starve”.

The convict-in-Chief has the nearly $900,000 it costs per plane to deport people, but kids with cancer can apparently F off. Are we “great again” yet?

Listen, I tried. I tried to understand the power of the right-wing media machine, of mis- and disinformation, of confirmation bias. I tried to find something that explains it other than stupidity. But if you believe this, you are just plain stupid.

Our character will be tested every day. Many of us will fail.
