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

1984 or Animal Farm, you choose.

Sounds like they made a fascist turducken.

This is about as disturbing as it gets. When Trump says he plans to be a dictator, there’s no reason not to believe him.

Dictator for a day has gone full Napoleon.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Quietly, Hegseth announces a major policy change, ruling out Ukraine joining NATO. This is a capitulation to Putin, justifying his wars of aggression starting with Georgia in 2008. This will embolden Putin & undermine the interests of peace in Ukraine & Europe. A major blow to US national security.

Never before have we ever seen the head of a government agency, a man with no prior government experience no lees, stand next to the President's desk and address the nation.

She speaks truth.

Acting FBI Director Pushes Back on Trump's Attempt to Wrongfully Fire FBI Agents Who Worked J6 Cases. youtu.be/uZCgd-M2koM?...

Holy shit 😳

The rhetorical triangle is an old approach for framing arguments I use w/ MBA students: Logos: use ur intellect, backed by evidence & reasoning; no bluffing! Ethos: ensure to first gain credibility & authority on an issue; no winging it! Pathos: be passionate & appeal to emotions; care about it!

Would some reporter please ask Trump about his plans for undocumented Russians? Thanks.

The thing about shitty little rich kids is they all grow up to become guys like this

Good Morning.🖤◾💚◾🖤 It's Tuesday.🌹

Joe Biden pardons the Members of Congress and staff from the Jan. 6 Select Committee, law enforcement who testified before the committee, as well as Mark Milley and Dr. Fauci.

Dear Joe & Jill: Our time with you went far too fast. You restored kindness, compassion and dignity to the White House and we are forever grateful. "May your troubles be less, and your blessings be more, And nothing but happiness come through your door" ☘️☘️ #DemVoice1

"[Elon] knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. IS THAT A FUCKING CONFESSION??? h/t: @acyn.bsky.social

Re-Upping this piece I did regarding “shock and awe.” We may hear the phrase in the next few days…it’s easy to say, harder to do. www.thebulwark.com/p/team-trump...

Here we go. God bless you all. Let’s just be here for each other more than ever in the days and weeks and months ahead. My love and prayers to all you fellow humans out there.

“Trump’s inauguration will prove to be one of the darkest days in American history; the fact that SO many of our fellow citizens fail to recognize that will never not sting.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...

To all of those who have asked, I will not be acknowledging the Inauguration on January 20th.

Current mood

Nope.

THIS WILL NEVER BE UNTRUE. 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿

If you need any more proof of the coordinated lies on the right, look no further—even AFTER they knew the New Orleans terrorist was an American-born citizen, they kept pushing the lie that it all happened because of our “wide-open border.” FACT: Unlawful border crossings are at a 4-year low.

"Social security and Medicare are not entitlement programs. They are earned benefits. Hard working American tax payers pay into social security every day, every week, every month, every year throughout their entire adult life." - Hakeem Jeffries You're goddam right. 🔥

This is an excellent piece by Phil Klay. I feel the same. Enjoy this NYT gift article . www.nytimes.com/2025/01/02/o...

Last September, I told @cnn.com I would not be renewing my military analyst contract for 2025. It's been an amazing 10 yrs working for this global organization, meeting new friends & colleagues & hopefully providing informative military analysis. It's just time to move on to life's next chapter.

Two different “hits” with Jessica Dean on @cnn.com …the first discussing the chaos that usually reigns after regime change, the second discussing what should happen with war criminals like Assad (& the leader he is now with, Putin). Both belong before The Hague, or punished like Saddam.

Cyber bonanza US consumers spent $15.8 M every 60 seconds in two hours on Monday night, capping a holiday weekend spending spree that smashed previous records and became the biggest US online shopping day ever. But eggs….

This needs to be shouted from the rooftops. Forever. Until Trump is behind bars.

I have to share, I’ve been writing posts, making lists, and reaching out to my favorite accounts, trying to desperately to feel normal again after the surreal election results, but nothing seems right, the world is strange, I feel scared, just checking in, does anyone else feel the same??

New Rule: You shall not complain about Hunter Biden's pardon on my feed unless you also admit the Supreme Court pardoned Trump for a coup.

Regular people to their kids: "This is America. If you work hard you can be anything you want. Even the President." Billionaires to their kids: "This is America. If you stay rich you can buy anything you want. Even the President."

I figured out a fast way to follow folks back! If you like this post, I can bring up the list of everyone who liked it and follow back with one click. So like this post, but remember that there’s limits on follow backs. But I’ll do my level best!

Trump is telling us that he’s going to fire hundreds of thousands, deport tens of millions, kick tens of millions off their healthcare & cut hundreds of millions in social programs and Ma and Pa MAGA STILL believe all of this shit is going to help them in some fucking way. Narrator: it’s not.
