Notable exchange from Trump's ABC interview that I can't post clips of here because of @bsky.app's daily video limit -- Trump is trying to shift blame for defying the Supreme Court to his lawyer

Remember, to throughly cook all meat products, for safety’s sake…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

Call me old fashioned, but I think any president creating a meme coin hustle to recruit anonymous financial backers and rewarding the biggest spenders with “a night to remember” private dinner with the president kinda feels like an impeachable offense.

yeah, my spending is definitely up this year (bought a new computer, doing house stuff, new car lease in process) and it’s pretty much all making sure I have important stuff taken care of before it’s no longer available when shelves go empty I expect a major pullback in consumer spending

If he cannot carry out his agenda without breaking our laws, violating our Constitution, ignoring the judiciary, alienating our allies and crashing the economy… It’s a criminal agenda.

It'll be slow, but this *will* collapse our economy.

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

my solemn vow to you is that I will never be cordial with a fascist

Biden’s age was, by a large margin, the single most covered story in the entire campaign, even counting the part of the campaign in which Biden was no longer a candidate if “we were too biased toward Dems” is your takeaway from our current moment you have no business doing this job

Today is Day 16. Still 0 deals.

The funny thing is any high hopes that Rubio would be better than this was a totally media created narrative from back when he was getting magazine covers as the future of the party. Nobody paying attention ever saw anything but a sad opportunist.

It’s interesting that secret service told reporters the guy who stole Noem’s purse what a white male, then they wait a week and DHS says it was an undocumented migrant but refuses to give any other details.

Yesterday, ASU apparently, for a short time, changed their LGBTQ+ resource page to "LGB Students" This would match what Trump did to Stonewall National Monument. Thankfully sanity prevailed and someone changed it back. Do NOT erase trans people to please Trump! web.archive.org/web/20250424...

Twitter people are talking about the CNN poll showing that people "approve" of Trump's handling of gender identity. Turns out though when you look at the crosstabs, Democrats and Independents do not approve of Trump's handling of trans issues. But Republicans absolutely love it.

News used to be a fairly clean stream. There were few media outlets, and, to be successful, they needed a solid reputation. So they filtered out junk. The many-to-many info landscape has no filter. There are nuggets of gold in that steam now, but also lots of crap. The stream has become a sewer.

America is now just the creepy guy in the club telling random women they’d be a lot happier if they were dating him

Donald Trump fired a gun at the economy and the bullet is moving very slowly but it cannot be put back in the barrel

Trump is not joking about trying to become president for life

1. In a new leaked memo, Pam Bondi is directing the DOJ to go after trans care providers under "anti-FGM" laws. She also has directed the investigation of HRT manufacturers. She calls transgender people "infectious." The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

All the rhetoric about tariffs and trade is about manufacturing, but when it comes down to brass tax negotiations, the only idea Trump officials ever have is "uhhh buy more energy or farm products from the US"

the tariffs have been great for me specifically in that I get to watch every stodgy business media publication start posting like 2017 resistlibs

*tapping the sign*

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT. sincerely, a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

Sure whatever the auto parts tariff changes can exist in a quantum superposition I guess

there is no plan(et) b.

Hey news people, do you think you could offer maybe some headlines about TRUMP TRYING TO REPEAL THE CORE OF THE 1964 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT?

you know this thing where people don’t treat being a former or current officeholder as total immunity from all crimes? we should try that

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

“We shouldn’t talk about immigration, it’s his strongest issue.” NOT ANYMORE LOSERS. BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT IT

so one of the most consistent things that seems to bump Tesla stock right now is Elon saying he’s going to get out of government soon and go back to focusing on Tesla, which many investors clearly think will juice sales again guys, the brand damage is terminal, this is never getting better

The common assumption is that people’s thoughts and feelings derive from their material circumstances- “I am poor, therefore I am mad at the government.” But this doesn’t really work! It assumes each person is independently developing their ideas by examining their surroundings. Clearly we aren’t.

My "the financial system is currently working fine" speech has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my speech

Trans Lifeline is a good place to direct resources if you’re looking to help here fuck everyone involved with this decision

We will not fund your medical research unless you actively disavow diversity and inclusion” is what an aggressively white supremacist regime looks like Using the power of government to force smaller institutions to segregate and attack racial minorities www.statnews.com/2025/04/21/t...

"We did not make a mistake" -- Leavitt on a deportation that the administration has admitted was a mistake

marxism is correct as long as you don't try to talk about minor distractions like "events" or "individuals"
