Morning Bluesky

Look, if we don't say that he voted for Trump because he wanted to prove to white people that he's one of the good ones, we are not saying everything that needs to be said.

THREAD: Since stepping back into the Oval Office Trump's been purposefully flooding the zone w/ a constant stream of outrage porn to distract. Here's the stories that actually matter that you might've missed this week:

Trump while surveying hurricane recovery in NC today: "I'll also be signing an executive order to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling FEMA or maybe getting rid of FEMA..I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems.” He's not just stupid, he's dangerous.

It says a lot that trump spoke more harshly about a woman of the church, Bishop Mariann Budde, who asked him kindly to "have mercy," than he has EVER spoken about a murderous dictator like Vladimir Putin. Fucking coward.

Elon Musk gave two back to back Nazi salutes at the Trump inauguration parade

Well, fuck me sideways. I thought this was brilliant satire, but there it is on salmon newsprint.

I triggered a few MAGAs with this one. Probably should've kept it to myself, but I woke up after two hours of sleep just furious with people in this country, and had to sound off.

Now we begin the usual ritual in the immediate aftermath of these incidents of right-wingers deleting their posts loaded with false information about it since they are so desperate to blame everything on migrants and Biden, and Fox retracting all of their initial reporting.

Something is always rotten with the NC GQP Party...

After 54 years of tyranny, the Assad regime has finally come to an end. Bashar al-Assad has fled his homeland like the coward he is. He joins his despicable family in exile. But the great Syrian people are not out of the woods yet.

If you want to see why people are so vicious towards United Healthcare right now, here's a thread on some of the most egregious health insurer behaviors. via @813jafferd.bsky.social

Just before the election, I published a book, Anatomy of a Purple State: A NC Politics Primer Since the election, a few people have asked whether NC is still a purple state and, more generally, what happened in NC in 2024? Here are some answers, heavy on the graphs, in a long thread (1/19) #ncpol

Tired of rapists and sexual predators weighing in on "women's safety"

The bad news is that Trump will be the first to ride on the new AF1 plane. The good news is that the plane was fabricated by Boeing.

Just gonna drop this here…

Both Texas and Georgia are destroying evidence of all maternal mortality, blocking proof that women are dying from abortion bans. This story has a lot more going on than you think. Especially since Republicans are lying about the public cases. www.salon.com/2024/12/02/d...
