if you ever feel heavy because you care deeply about injustice, suffering and ecological destruction, remember that a trillion dollar propaganda machine was built to make you numb and it didn't work on you ✨

What is the endgame for RFK, Jr? How is lurching us back to unpasteurized milk and bloodletting via leeches making MAHA? How is firing the entire knowledge base at NIH & CDC going to MAHA? The worst people possible are in charge. I pray their voters reap the reward.

At a NewsNation town hall, Trump was asked by an audience member what was the biggest mistake he made during his first 100 days: “I’ll tell you that’s the toughest question I can have because I don’t really believe I’ve made any mistakes.” (via @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social & @meidastouch.com)

No difference btw this from The Atlantic… “Maybe they didn’t know me at the beginning, and they know me now,” Trump said. and his oft recited poem The Snake… "Oh, shut up, silly woman, " said that reptile with a grin "Now you knew darn well I was a snake before you brought me in"

This is the best 100-day recap I’ve seen — and it begs the damn question: Why is his approval rating still 39%? Are folks in a coma?

New in PN: The Declaration of Independence's warning for Trump "Ultimately, the way in which the Declaration echoes events now is it’s a complaint against a ruler who's violating rights. The king violated their rights time and time again and he basically 'un-kinged' himself" — @jbf1755.bsky.social

I rated The Residence (2025–2025) 10/10 #IMDb A superbly wry and timely comedic “who-dun-it” set at The White House, filled with palace intrigue. Fantastically cast, written, acted, and edited, and very much a side-eye comment on now.

He’s so utterly stupid and unfit that I don’t even need to mention who I’m talking about. You already know. That’s how stupid he is.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

I’m not one who thinks the “private sector” automatically makes things better. In fact, these days, services often take a nosedive in quality when wrested from non-profit motivated orgs like USPS. The USPS needs your support. Fend off the profit driven hellhole! sign.moveon.org/petitions/te...

It would disgusting, but unsurprising, if Trump called for all calendars to read YEAR 1. Also, renaming the days of the week and months after himself. That I can imagine it shows how deep we’re in it.

While not the pinnacle of journalism and education that they once were (due in no small part to those hellbent on their destruction), it is vitally important that non-corporate media be allowed to thrive. If you agree, you can sign here: sign.moveon.org/petitions/do...

“But, he’s just joking and sabre rattling” I bade my father back in ‘16, a Trump presidency will cause us all suffering. His lack of discernment has troubled me since the joy punchdown, talk-jock early 90s brought him. Especially since he’s a pastor. We will reap bitter tears.🌾 Slow 9/11

The achievements and honor of so many who answered the call to selflessly serve their country are being being completely obliterated by a nihilistic cabal divorced of any sense of servitude outside of themselves. It is egregious and will not be left unanswered.

Trump sees those he victimizes as the aggressors: Aggressively beautiful Aggressively independent Aggressively stable Aggressively other Therefore, in his mind, he is both the victim and the hero, the one aggrieved and the one to force them to heel below him. Anyone above him is the aggressor.

Trolling is a kind of complicity theater. Either you look away, in which case you’ve accepted a role—”see no evil”—or you “take the bait,” in which case you’re playing a part, even if, as I am here, you’re in conflict with the whole production. slowcivilwar.substack.com/p/tingles
