I feel like we've been saying this forever but it's worth saying again. Book bans do not exist in a vacuum. They're not one off events. Book bans are the canary in the coal mine. They usher in an era of censorship, fascism, violent scapegoating. Authors, join the fight: @authorsabb.bsky.social!!

It's so odd that Christian Nationalists are trying to stomp out pretend "anti-Christian bias" when their repudiation of everything Jesus ever said is the biggest example of real "anti-Christian bias" in the United States right now.

The Supreme Court granted Trump de facto impunity for his personal crimes ... and then expected him to obey their judicial orders? Impunity is impunity.

It's striking how much Trumpists hate what's made the United States great: immigration, trade, medical and scientific research, the rule of law, an enlightened patriotism, a willingness and ability to correct past injustices. At the end of the day, Trumpism is Third Worldism.

It's worth remembering that the entire planet is being engulfed at the moment by a crisis that is the work of a single person. I've heard some people ask how many people actually support this. I think there's a better question: how many people support this who would still support it the day ...

Don’t worry folks, MAGA says they’re SURE that the nepo baby who bankrupted casinos, committed egregious business fraud, added $8 trillion to our debt and left office as the worst jobs president since Herbert f’ng Hoover is going to “usher in a golden age” by crashing our economy. Fucking idiots.

Virtually every destructive thing Trump has done has been an abuse of power, illegal or both. He could be stopped. But he is enabled by his own party and those who have the power to stop him but don’t. They are all complicit.

The thing is that Congress still does have the means to stop him, you know. His party has to turn on him, it’s as simple as that. And then we could, you know, go back to understanding that having bad faith narcissist malevolent ignoramuses in charge is bad for everyone.

Good. This isn't rhetoric or hyperbole: On the current trajectory there is simply no way the United States survives a full Trump term as any kind of recognizable liberal democracy. Thinking about how to beat him in 2028 is a waste of time; it will be too late by then.

Trump loves taking credit for other people's achievements, but he will soon be shirking responsibility for the US recession he caused all on his very own.

A felon is President of the US. Evangelical white christians reject teachings of Jesus; billionaire from South Africa is cutting benefits for millions of Americans: a puppy killer is head of Homeland Security. An anti-science man is head of HHS. and on and on... this isn't an April fools joke.

Is it really too much to ask media outlets reporting on invading Greenland & Canada to lead with "THIS IS WILDLY ILLEGALLY UNDER BOTH OUR NATO AND UN TREATY COMMITMENTS, WHICH ARE ALSO PART OF US LAW"? The normalization of this is wildly inappropriate & there is no excuse for it.

The argument that actually punishing Le Pen and her cronies for their crimes will only make them stronger in the long run is a little hard to swallow when we have a prominent example of a right-wing authoritarian who was very much not punished for his crimes and is now wrecking everything in sight.

Everyone needs to understand what Elon and DOGE are building, an AI driven panopticon that will know everything about you and will be used to ensure compliance with their fascist agenda. They are creating a unified database of everything the federal government has on every single American. 🧵1/

A haunted charlatan with cold black eyes dripping poison into the ear of a monarch is a tale as old as time. In 2025, however, we’ve replaced Rasputin’s menacing charisma with an effete, deadbeat Boer whose temperament is redolent of a middle school boy terrified to remove his shirt at a pool party.

Trump has ample warning from financial markets of how harmful his tariffs will be. He is proceeding anyway, because the only way he can feel alive and fulfilled is by intentionally hurting people.

JD Vance slams Demark for not doing enough for its citizens, when it provides universal healthcare for all of them when the US does not, and they're ranked the "Happiest Country In the World." The US ranks at the bottom of that list. America is a delusional country that got high on its own supply.

Trump agenda for April 1) Crash the world economy with tariffs 2) Wreck NATO by annexing Greenland 3) End 1st and 5th amendment rights for immigrants 4) Welcome measles to toughen the species 5) Pardon financial criminals 6) Help Putin smash Ukraine 7) More memecoins!

Donald and Elon both have a pathologically hatred and disdain for those in need. Which is odd, since Donald needed his father to rescue his failed businesses to the tune of over $400,000,000 and Elon needed the US government to rescue his faltering businesses to the tune of $18 Billion (so far).

Important to realize that Trump’s approach to Canada and Greenland is like his approach to Ukraine. It’s not even simply American imperialism. It is America enabling Russian imperialism. (1/3)
