For years, there’s been warnings that winter’s coming but people just dismissed them as ridiculous. Now that winter is here, many of the denialists still don’t get it, the leaders are too afraid to act, and it’s likely too late. I’d say the wall’s been breached but we never bothered to build one.

Ya... we're pretty fucked. It's pretty obvious that the damage to the country is going to be irreversible at this point for most of our lifetimes.

We are quickly approaching an inflection point for society where if we do not act to stop this in any and all ways possible to us it’s going to become out of control in ways that cannot easily be stopped without massive loss of blood and treasure. The fascists are signaling the next phase

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

I can’t stop thinking about these two headlines

It’s not a “savings” if you’re getting fewer services in exchange. I’m still paying the same taxes!

You don’t rip out the wires, extract everything of value, and set the place on fire if you intend to live in the building. Just saying…

NEW: The head of the FDA’s food division has resigned. “The division is tasked with ensuring that the country's food supply is safe, overseeing inspections and recalls.” www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

If you wanted to set the US up for a Leave the World Behind situation I’m not sure what you’d do differently.

Ugh.

what would you do differently if you were actively trying to cause more plane crashes? www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

I think the reason people are frustrated with Democratic leaders is that they expect these elected representatives to act like a real disaster is happening, which it is. Four-day weekends and bratwurst junkets in Munich kind of undercut that

Kinda hard not to think they're... chopping up the country and stripping it of all its protections in order to serve us up to something, someone worse. They're just putting the country's neck not just under the boot, but the blade.

ABC: “.. Multiple current and former employees described the situation as ‘a national security crisis.’” @abcnewsgo.bsky.social abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

This is almost too stupid to comment on, but I hope it's clear to everyone what's going on here: authoritarians bully you into doing little shit like this as a way to train you to comply, to grease the skids for bigger things. You talk yourself into a little thing, the next thing is easier.

Musk's minions are *firing people responsible for securing our nation's nuclear arsenal and their panicked bosses are frantically reaching out to them to say actually no please come back oops* abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

underrated how much the DOGE groyper dipshits are exposing everyone to regular-ass criminals all over the world. the potential for theft is practically limitless

I recently described the new right as a hybrid movement that has picked the most antisocial and depraved parts out of histories killers and operationalized them into a right wing framework it’s like shutting down the containment grid in Ghostbusters its all of history’s ghosts.

A lot of powerful and influential people, including the media, have just decided they don’t want us to be a country anymore, and it’s incredibly bizarre. It’s very weird to be bum rushing the country (and possibly the world) into collapse and devastation. Why?

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 programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.
