After another plane crashed, this time in Philadelphia, Donald Trump took to Truth Social to advertise his $Trump meme coin.

Fuck all of you pieces of shit that voted to take away a woman's right to travel freely in her own country. I will never forgive any of you for taking away/giving up what we fought so hard to get. None of you deserve to live in this country. You are all traitors. www.rawstory.com/federal-cour...

🚨South Korean right wing president Yoon Suk Yeol has declared martial law amid opposition to his budget, opposition impeachment efforts, and calls for probes into scandals involving his wife and allies. This is an assault on democracy. Developing…

We just had the biggest call we’ve had in the 5+ years since we founded DemCast. 🎶 There’s somethin’ happening here. 🎵 Sorry to those of you who weren’t able to log in after we reached capacity! Our signup site is LIVE if you want to be a part of the solution. ✊

Don't be distracted by the chaos. Trump’s 2nd term agenda will be more calculated than his 1st. He's following the playbook of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán to crush democracy, silence dissent & entrench his own power. Those who lived it say there’s a window to act now. Here’s how we fight back. ⬇️

Many people ask how we resist. First, urge all civil and business leaders not to surrender in advance. Second, support organizations fighting for democracy and the rule of law. Third, get involved with your local community to build a strong civil society.

But sure, put this guy in charge of The Pentagon

This kind of thing works, this kind of thing is what can prevent us from sliding into an autocracy

Community Notes strikes again!

Dems/media condemning Joe for pardoning Hunter right after a psycho who has spent 4 years ranting that he was going to go after him is the most toxic kind of phony virtue signaling imaginable. Don’t forget to pat yourselves on the back from your perches on the moral high ground.

MONTHS AFTER Joe said he would not pardon Hunter, Trump won the election & appointed a man as FBI Director who has spent the last 4 years on every right-wing podcast ranting that he was going to go after Hunter. Obsessed with him. Were you aware of that, critics? Not relevant?

He’s finished! I love embroidering a tabby. 🪡 🧵

Trump assembling his cabinet:

Im in a nice happy place these days working on a little Ukrainian embroidery for a vyshyvanka blouse I'm making 😀 🧵🪡

My thoughts on one of the most dangerous nominations to date...Kash Patel for FBI open.substack.com/pub/olgalaut...

Trump picks MAGA loyalists Kash Patel as FBI director. Seems like Project 2025 is in full swing.

Elon Musk is a unelected AH who thinks he controls this Country. WTF does he think he is interfering in the sale of Info Wars and the settlement for Sandy Hook Parents????? I hope Our Fellow Americans wake the F up. We do NOT want Oligarchs controlling this country. www.yahoo.com/finance/news...

🔥Senator Tim Kaine 🎤 DROP to the fELON!👏👏

Here is Trump’s nominee for FBI Director Kash Patel calling for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media."

"When Trump entertained naming Patel deputy director of the FBI, Attorney General Bill Barr confronted the White House chief of staff and said, 'Over my dead body.'"

Trump announced Kash Patel as his FBI Director pick. He will turn the FBI against opposition just like what FSB does in Russia. Really dangerous times

JOURNALISTS FLOCK TO BLUESKY “We have posts exactly the same on Twitter & on Bluesky & Bluesky is getting 20 times the engagement or more than Twitter. Seeing a social media platform that doesn’t throttle links really makes it clear how badly we were being limited” www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-...

I keep telling you, they're going to lie about how many people they murder like they did during COVID.

Trump has named Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner, as ambassador to France. The elder Kushner once pleaded guilty to tax evasion and making illegal campaign contributions. Trump pardoned him in 2020. “L’état, c’est moi,” as the saying goes. Here you go, France. A nepo criminal!

This should go without saying, but it's okay if someone you don't agree with goes on a certain show or podcast. It's okay to be exposed to dissenting opinions. It's okay to feel uncomfortable. The biggest danger for the Democratic Party moving forward is the imposition of ideological purity tests.

Yesterday’s victory by Syrian rebel forces in Aleppo after their shock offensive is a huge defeat for both Russia and Iran.

Putin is getting smoked! He’s cornered; that’s why he’s spouting off nuclear BS and ordering North Korean soldiers off of Temu to fight his war for him. His war has cost him 700,000 casualties and put his economy in tatters. The US must *continue* to stand with our Allies until total victory!

Ladies and the men who support women: Here is your assignment:

I wonder if him and Jesse Watters’ mom meet up at the world’s worst sons support group.

Excited to officially start my account on Bluesky and continue the conversation about fighting for a stronger, fairer, and safer Illinois.

She also wrote: “I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.”

Here we go-🚨🚨🚨 They’re coming after reproductive healthcare in Ohio, even though we voted to protect it. You can’t say we didn’t warn you this was coming. THIS IS WILDLY INFURIATING!!! abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Trump "I had a great call with President Shinybum of Mexico. She will stop rapists and criminals from coming here!" President Sheinbaum "I informed Mr. Trump the best way to make rapists and criminals feel unwelcome in America, is for people to stop electing them." ow.ly/AP9R50UhcgT

So to summarize, according to #maga, any Black, gay or trans person who achieves any position, no matter how degreed or credentialed they are is an unqualified #dei hire. And any white person, however unqualified or even sketchy is inherently qualified when they get a job. Do I have that right?

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.
