The Trump Ass Kissers group CPAC are pushing the ‘Third Term Project’ to make the Felon Trump Dictator/ President/ King in 2028 and beyond. The famously uneducated non readers of MAGA are comparing Trump to Julius Caesar. They obviousely do not know how Julius Caesar ended. #ProudBlue

"This is something that does not belong to the president or the White House. It belongs to the American people.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Fresh out of prison after Trump’s pardon, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested today for assaulting a woman protesting his event.

Extortion with a side order of #AstroNazi blackmail: “US negotiators … threatened to cut Ukraine’s access to #Starlink … (that) provides crucial internet access to #Ukraine & its military.” Maybe Western nations should ban Starlink over their borders? 🧐 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Populism at its very most cynical. Rather than tackle #ClimateCrisis — the root cause of spiking insurance premiums — 🥔 reckons he will smash the insurer cartel. Bollocks he will. It’s all just a grift to gain power. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Extortion right out in the open. And what's the bet those resources find their way back into Kremlin hands (once Trump and his kleptocrat cronies take their cut)? #auspol #Ukraine

Might want to buy that new computer sooner than later. Wait, wasn't Trump supposed to fix inflation? Acer Becomes The First Manufacturer To Announce 10% Price Increase On Consumer Products Amid Trump Tariffs; ASUS, HP & Dell To Likely Follow wccftech.com/acer-becomes... #EconSky #inflation

See, with the information filtering out of former KGB agents about ‘Krasnov’ (the handler’s name for Trump) being recruited in 1987, it bothers me that #auspol feels that ‘Hey, this seems like a reliable chap with whom we can do business.’ It’s either stupid, or evil www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

Republicans have proposed cutting the healthcare of 72 million Americans by as much as $880 BILLION Why Because they want to give more tax cuts to the ultra wealthy Think of it They’re willing to let people die So they can give their rich friends-like Elon-tax breaks Don’t Cut My Medicaid

It’s a cult.

UPDATE: Infamous J6 insurrectionist Enrique Tarrio is back behind bars where he belongs. Today, following a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol — of all places — Tarrio was arrested and hauled away by Capitol Police after he took an angry swipe at a female protester. Tarrio allegedly…

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

This was when Kash Patel used Milk Dud’s habitually intemperate lawyer, Steven Biss, to sue someone who hurt his fee-fees. www.fresnobee.com/news/local/a...

General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, wasn't fired by Trump because he "supports woke policies." He was fired because he's a Black man in the nation's top uniformed military post.

Omfg

Trump just ordered the DOJ to eliminate the police misconduct database. Imagine losing your child to police brutality &finding out the officer had a violent history that wasn't tracked. That’s what happened to Eric Garners family. The officer who killed him had many complaints before that fatal day.

after i called out the @nytimes.com on bluesky and in my story for @dailykos.com the ny times has FINALLY added a correction. we caught them in the act. they tried to hide it. then we exposed them more. and now they've reacted again.

The rise of Trump’s fascist dictatorship punts Australia into its most precarious position since the fall of Singapore 83yr ago. Australia is now pinched between the emerging NeoNazi US & Beijing, an enemy of our own making. And with no friends to fish us out, hard choices must be made fast. #auspol

Someone send Insurrection Ed a dictionary

This is really something

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

“If FBI agents who are just doing their jobs aren’t free of the risk of political prosecution, then who is? In a country run by a president who has accumulated all power into his own hands, you never know who might run afoul of the leader’s good graces.” joycevance.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

A brief history of the Pentagon's relative clear-eyed realism on climate change, now apparently upended by weird children

This is a solidly red district in Georgia. Republicans are really starting to feel the pressure — let’s keep turning up the heat. Your representatives are back home for congressional recess and we’ve got events planned around the country (including Tesla dealerships). LFG: indivisible.org/muskorus

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

The dildo of consequence rarely arrives lubed.

A lovers’ spat.

Republican congressmen in the US have introduced a bill to completely withdraw the country from the UN. The bill proposes stopping funding for the UN and its agencies and banning participation in peacekeeping missions.

I've had it with this BS Who's chipping in?

So here's Peter Dutton long-term plan for nuclear power, if it wasn’t already a scam. Pour hundreds of billions into the project, have taxpayers carry the can, and then flog it off to the likes of Gina to profit from. #auspol

Elon Musk is cratering in polls: WaPo: Only 34% approve of Musk's role, 63% worry about his data access CNN: 54% say it's bad Musk was given a big role Majorities disapprove of Trump in CNN, WaPo, Gallup. On the pod, @juliaazari.bsky.social is great on all this: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

Were any previous authoritarian takeovers this unbearably cringe?

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.
