A big reason the fascist administration doesn't want Mr. Abrego Garcia back in the U.S. is because they know that when he tells his story in his own words more people will be disgusted.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇 @housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

THIS IS PERFECT.

Don’t know her, but I know I love her politics! Kudos to her. 💙

Dear Democratic Members of Congress: You need to either be physically at these agencies that are rapidly undergoing the Trump transformation to investigate or physically protest or in front of a mic, on cable news, screaming about what is happening.

We don’t have a polling feature here, so I’ll try to do it a different way. We need to tell Democrats in office what WE WANT. If you want democrats to OBSTRUCT EVERYTHING, then hit REPOST. If you want democrats to find common ground with republicans then hit LIKE. Let’s see what the people want.

I’m a teacher, today we were sent the general counsels board policy on cooperation with ICE and not providing access to students when asked. But then came the instruction to call child services if parents are taken while child is at school. I can’t even with this MFer. 😥

President Joe Biden = 1460 restful nights of sleep. President Donald Trump = 1461 restless nights of sleep & counting.

Wait… amidst all the cruelty with a swipe of a pen, did I miss the executive order that lowered the price of eggs?

EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. 🔥🔥🔥

But her emails!!!!

@muellershewrote.bsky.social happy early birthday tomorrow. Thanks for being there for all of us.

Trump already cashing in on the presidency at outrageous levels. His meme coin reportedly bought mostly on Chinese exchanges, by who? 🤷🏼‍♂️ And @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett etc. say nothing, yet went crazy over Biden accusations of far smaller amounts that turned out to lies.

A massive scandal is unfolding. Trump launched a memecoin that hit $6B+market cap since Friday. He’s now a multi-billionaire from this scam, opening a portal to untraceable payoffs from corporate and foreign actors. Many in crypto who poured millions into electing him are furious.

1/ I keep returning to one core thought: civics education really matters. It’s absence, at least in part, is what makes a Donald Trump and a MAGA movement possible.

Just in case you are not sufficiently realizing that EVERYTHING is political: www.ftc.gov/news-events/... h/t @hcrichardson.bsky.social

🚨 The Shocking "Trump Coin" Money Grab Quick 🧵 It went down so quickly that people are still trying to dissect what happened, but it appears that Donald Trump and his family took a big step toward Putin-style self-enrichment through an explosion of a brand new Trump faux crypto currency. 1/

When are people going to finally wake up and realize that Trump doesn’t give a shit about them? The GOP has control of all three branches of government, so when Trump breaks his promises, and rest assured he will, maybe then the lightbulb will finally turn on. I won’t hold my breath.

We’re doing this already? www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

No person in the history of this country has ever used the presidency & running for office to personally enrich himself more than Trump. Crypto, social app, Bibles, shoes, picture books, watches NFTs - an endless list. And he’s not even close to being done cashing in.

The TikTok shutdown was voluntary. The Biden Administration took no action against TikTok and said they would leave it to the Trump Administration. This was TikTok working with Trump and a propaganda con. The stupids will fall for it. Hell they are already attacking Democrats.

"It’s good to have the Smith report, as it’s good to have the January 6th Committee report. They tell the truth, and the truth matters. But of course in this instance it didn’t matter enough."

CW via WaPo: Trump's unstoppable! Buried in piece: Trump's fav/unfav is 46%/48%. So maybe he's not so all powerful? Maybe his dangerous policies and shameless grift and authoritarian schemes can be--just spitballing here--Opposed? Resisted? Defeated? wapo.st/3WpGXCt

Trump gets in bed with the Chinese owners, and suddenly Tik Tok isn’t “evil CCP compromised” anymore. These people believe in nothing. What Trump decides today is what they believe in today. Which changes tomorrow if Trump makes a deal with someone else to enrich himself.

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law. They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.

I love that many legit writers are adding this little qualifier to every mention of Musk’s role in Trump world. “The world's richest man, Elon Musk, who has become a close Trump confidant since spending more than $250 million to boost his campaign, is …” from Reuters and seen elsewhere
