I find this applies to so many other areas of life as well...

You notice how every time the media talks about Trump it’s as if he has a clean slate? They never bring up that he’s a convicted felon, adulterer, sexual assault offender, thief, stole classified documents, was responsible for millions of Covid deaths, etc. That’s how you know it’s propaganda.

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

I remember the wonderful days when such displays of unity were led by the United States, not aimed at it.

Sede vacante

Trump and Vance are part of the tiny percentage of Americans who sympathize more with Russia (4%) than Ukraine (62%) and who view Putin more favorably (75% unfavorable) than Zelensky (28% unfavorable) today.yougov.com/politics/art...

A disgraceful day.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

There are 3 people in this photo. One is a true President and currently the leader of the free world. One is drooping and looks like he’s about to take a nap. And one looks a little too excited to be sitting on a couch.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

And here’s a little something extra from @axios.com about today’s White House shit show “Another small but not insignificant factor that irritated Trump — Zelensky didn't wear a suit. Trump's advisers had told Zelensky's team several times that he should wear a suit to the White House.” Really?

Anger. Righteous anger. We need more of it in this country.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Kelly: “Our European allies are looking at this and thinking, what just happened? What happened to the United States of America that used to be the leader of the free world?”

I’m sorry, but repeating this framing without skepticism is collaborating with your source to mislead your readers. They have been working on humiliating Zelensky and catering to Putin since long before the inauguration. Nothing about this is a response; it’s the plan of an abuser and a charlatan.

Today is a really good day to do something. Read the Constitution. Have a talk with a stranger about DOGE. Volunteer at a food bank. Be kind to people. Whatever you do, don’t just throw your hands up in the air & assume Trump gets away with it all. We are still a rule of law country. Insist on it.

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

Your tips are still getting taxed. Your overtime is still getting taxed. Your Social Security is still getting taxed. Trump and Republicans have changed NOTHING — NONE of those changes were in the resolution they passed. Don’t let them lie to you.

I wonder if the Gates Foundation is going to have to step in and help with the flu vaccines.

“Wettin up the land.”

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

He voted for anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. to be in charge of our nations health.

The mistake people are making is thinking Trump won't come for them so they don't have to be concerned. But if its federal judges this week, can you be that sure? open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

you don’t need the press corps anymore — just pull out your phone. AOC did a livestream that spurred THOUSANDS of calls to congress. the msm wants drama? give it to them. like right now dems should have a fucking PARADE of fired federal workers out there putting a face on all this.

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker. Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

Pedro Pascal responding to transphobia on social media: “I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.” (via @charliejane.bsky.social) [capitalfm.com]

Pedro isn't just a zaddy — his gorgeous trans sister Lux has often been his plus-one on red carpets, where he beams proudly. he's a real one. ❤️

Cutting programs that save money and help people.

You'll have to be more specific than that

Anyone want to bet that no one looks at the email responses that Musk asked for ? It requires too much manpower and organization. Even w/AI He will hold them in the event he has an interaction with someone. If so, he can look up their response or lack of, and use it as cause for action.
