I thought of something really funny to post on here last night, got a real good laugh out of it, thought "Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to post that in the morning." Today I have forgotten what it was. It was really funny, though. Thought all of you should know.

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Unfortunately you have to primary everyone, not just because they don't have what it takes to fight, but because they don't have what it takes to rebuild. Last thing you want is them to win by default and then tread water until the next Trump comes to power

Yeah, I’ll co-sign this prediction.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

been struggling with the idea that all of human history, all of the destruction, the suffering, the brutality, the razing, the pillaging, the salting of the beautiful fields of this planet has all led up to this. guys burning down everything built over that ruin just so they can do a coy nazi salute

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

has a single mainstream journalist acknowledged that it was a massive media failure to treat project 2025 as a closed issue just bc trump lied a couple of times about not supporting it

What I fear is going to happen is that Trump will be unpopular, we’ll get some sort of weird capital controlled stasis, and what we have lost in the past month plus will never get rebuilt. Just like a new normal of austerity and hollowed state capacity. It’s imperative to deliver a real defeat.

Again, the two most impactful lies of the past half-century have been “Trump is a good businessman” and “Republicans are the good-at-economy party”

Tough situation. Maybe at some point we can amend the Constitution to provide a specific power Congress can use against an executive who’s unlawfully usurping its authority.

Stealing the infrastructure we paid for. They're treating blue states and cities like we're conquered territory to be plundered.

Given his new position and influence, at this point Musk’s moderation decisions at X are far closer to actual censorship than anything in the “Twitter Files.”

or, and this is just a suggestion here, they could do their fucking jobs and not hand Elon Musk the power of the purse that is in fact theirs

It does seem pretty weird that the Trump administration wanted the Ukraine President to sign that thing about giving the United States its mineral rights and then when he wouldn’t do it Trump was immediately like ok fuck Ukriane. Kinda seems like that should be a scandal or something

Democrats can’t sustain this kind of rhetoric without action. At the federal level they need to hold a 24-7 vigil at the Capitol until the coup ends. At the state level they could seize federal assets until court orders are being followed. We’re already outside the regular constitutional order.

the line about how trump is just trolling or joking about the “king” thing is belied somewhat by the fact that his administration’s explicit position is he can do whatever he wants and that everyone in every branch of government needs to bow to his demands or be banished

While mainstream media, centrists, and "contrarians" have spent a decade hyperventilating when people call Trump is an authoritarian... in the future no one will think the Americans of today didn't see it coming. They'll think, correctly, it was announced with bullhorns.

Seeing a lot of news outlets reporting the congestion pricing thing without a single reference to the "long live the king" post. That's a deliberate decision and proof of bias.

Maybe instead of a federal hiring freeze they could try a moratorium on Musk’s neonazi teens fucking firing people without anyone even checking what those people do

If last year you described the daily actions and proclamations that Trump has made this year as a prediction, the entire pundit universe would accuse you of being hysterical and having Trump Derangement Syndrome.

This is what evil is. Every single person involved in the actual deportation, the video, publishing it, RTing it, celebrating it - is an evil person.
