Yes @adamserwer.bsky.social gets it right. But for all these reasons, it is necessarily an attack on the 14th Amendment. We have to start talking about it in constitutional terms. Because that is what they are resisting.

AOC: And he is running around because he thinks he got a bank account with a lot of zeros in it that it makes him some kind of super citizen. I don't think so.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

All of this. It's really important to shed normalcy bias, now. It's not comforting to think about, but the world we grew up with is over. bsky.app/profile/caro...

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth. When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

I really do think part of the problem is the old bankers and ceos and plausibly sane media people are straight up too old and offline to see how degenerate and evil and insane the enemy is.

I don’t see the consolation in the notion that this will end badly for Trump/Musk/Maga and their collaborators. It will be vastly worse for everyone else. Sure, criminal regimes ultimately fall - but not without enduring gains for them and unrecoverable losses for those they destroy.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

The decline of the United States is a key goal of tech fascism, which aims to end democracy and remake the world as a billionaire-run enterprise. It only looks like "chaos" if you don't grasp the strategy.

He's warming up his brown shirts for when the velvet gloves come off, to reveal the iron fist underneath. And I'm sorry, but if you cannot see this, you are close to bordering on a tragic idiot of history.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

If one wants to appeal to the base instincts of those who voted for Trump, one must use tactics that work. Language is a tactic that MAGA has employed to great success by being shit-simple. Therefore, it is no longer inflation, but #trumpflation They are no longer tarriffs but the #Trumptax

“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”
