I heard Gov. Abbott asked them to steer clear of the state until he gets to watch some kids die. Man, there's nothing he loves more than watching kids die. School shootings, barbed-wire migrant crossings, power outages, measles, whatever. It doesn't matter how, as long as some kids die.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Article 1, Section 1 of the Constitution: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States." The claim that the Founders vested all power in the executive is a reality inverting, piss-on-my-leg-and-tell-me-it's-raining lie. That's what they rebelled against.

you have the musk hat trick here of being genuinely ignorant — the president isn’t an elected sovereign — and also incredibly dishonest

focus here seems to be eliminating any form of accountability they don't control, which leads to logical contortions like "this poor kid is just a little baby who posts stuff like he'd never date outside his race, but also he is fully capable of doing high-level and very important government work"

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students. This is how you refuse to comply.

Hey Bluesky! I’m here. Yes, I’m still a bit stunned by my prescient tweet (below) 14hrs before the tragic DC crash, after which many of you encouraged me to finally gravitate to here. Happy to belatedly join the community. Tom

Another thing about Trump's tariff war is that Mexico was actively working to replace manufacturing from China to lower costs, provide new jobs, and compete on the global market. China was also heavily investing in Mexico to prevent local ownership. Trump's current attack is 100% favorable to China.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This is Orwellian (first time for me to ever invoke that term). Trump administration is calling people in the country "unlawful" who are: immigrants who signed all the paperwork, entered the country legally, and have remained here documented and lawfully. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/u...

You are going to hear a lot of conservative activists over the next four years explain why an arcane constitutional provision unequivocally compels some aspect of Trump's policy agenda, and I would like you to remember they are full of shit and you do not have to pay attention to them

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.
