No one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American public. H.L. Mencken

Hey, it’s a free market. We don’t have to buy from assholes if we don’t want to.

Trump's America after 6 weeks: First measles death in 10 years, deadliest plane crash in 20 years, consumer confidence & stock market are down, inflation & unemployment are up plus he has alienated western democratic allies from Canada to Europe and made the US a Kremlin aligned country

So stupid

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

I am excited to campaign for you!

we may be one of the few pubs that got this headline right Trump And Vance Ambush Zelensky In Prelude To Betrayal talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-a...

Absolutely repulsive.

Everything is bad. Do we still have a CIA??

Truly. What is the point of having intelligence if they don’t use it now????

Elon Musk isn’t a genius—he’s a government-funded grifter under investigation. Every contract, every dollar, every scandal—it all connects. Keep this: It’s a roadmap for every move Musk and DOGE make.

Everyone, call your reps right now. Demand that they start impeachment proceedings against our president for colluding with our enemies, abandoning our allies, and destroying our constitution. I’m not sure what else to do, but I don’t want to be under the thumb of Putin.

100%

Please, @repdangoldman.bsky.social - impeach our president! He is compromised by Russian, is abandoning our allies, and endangering our country. We support you in taking extreme action to resist the destruction of our democracy!!!

Ukraine has shown the world that the little guy can stand up to the bully and refuse to back down, even when the odds seem overwhelming. Resistance isn’t futile. In the next four years, we must stand just as strong as Ukraine has. All my respect to President Zelenskyy.

Absolutely disgraceful. I will go to my grave NEVER forgiving people who voted for these disgusting, arrogant, Russian assets.

I am listening to these letters every single day. She gives an overview of everything happening. Plus historical context.

Everyone. Please help tank Tesla stock. Sell sell sell!!! It is just so glorious for this arrogoant ding dong to get a taste of his own medicine. fortune.com/2025/02/27/t...

Excited to be participating in the #economicblackout today. Easy peasy since i don’t want to buy any of the oligarchs’ trash anyway. I’m also avoiding all meta products… so lucky BlueSky users get my cute kid photos instead!

Didn’t the prez say no more electric vehicles?????

How we feel about living through a #constitutionalcrisis while many in our country cheer it on.

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m starting to think the only thing that kept the planes from crashing before was diversity.

It's really embarassing losing our democracy to people this fucking weird and gross.

Following on the overwhelming response to last week's column, I wrote a second dispatch imagining how the Musk takeover would be covered by the US media if it was happening overseas, and they felt comfortable calling a spade a spade.... www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/white-nati...

Go go go!

The logic of the coup that is going on now. And how to resist it. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

I guess they really are planning to crash the economy. How bad is the stock market going to be on Monday? Someone tell me.

A recap of where we are at right now… and i think where we are is very big trouble. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Do older Americans know that Elon Musk now controls access to their Social Security and health insurance?

I just tried calling and it appears @schumer.senate.gov and Sen Gillibrand’s voicemail boxes are full… but @democrats.org MUST RESIST. And vote NO on all nominees!!!

None of these folks could have possibly cleared background checks!

This is bad. What can we do?

Truth. Unfortunately.
