Hillary was right about this fucking puppet.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

@shatteredpixel.com So happy to connect with you here. I play Shattered Dungeon and really enjoy it.

For today's newsletter, I wrote about @chriswarcraft.bsky.social and what Democratic elected officials can learn from him www.readtpa.com/p/democrats-...

The weak, weird case against a supposed “orgasm cult” reason.com/2025/02/19/t... My deep dive into OneTaste & the federal prosecution of its founder is now up!

Right in front of our eyes, we’re seeing the destruction of the US, and the beginning of a dictatorship run by a career criminal & his enablers, drawn from the worst among us. Nobody seems to be taking effective action against this, while many calmly accept this fate like lambs led to the slaughter.

This is a must read He thinks we no longer have a judiciary Our founding fathers are rolling over

Yikes 😳😬...

The Return of Snake Oil The Trump administration is poised to supercharge America’s appetite for supplements. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

"Donald Trump is anathema to these values. Unchecked, he will destroy the very things that make America great and exceptional. But maybe that is Trump’s immigration plan. Destroy American institutions and make oligarchs like Elon Musk happy." -Robert McWhirter www.democracydocket.com/opinion/dona...

"While Trump retains the ceremonial position of Head of State, signing executive orders with flourish and basking in symbolic pageantry, Musk has effectively become Head of Government, wielding unprecedented control over federal agencies."

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

This calm, thoughtful perspective from @www.bugbeardispatch.com was a read I needed today: www.bugbeardispatch.com/p/method-in-...

We.are.fucked.

“I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights,” he said. “I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

Great list, hold the line: 1) stop pussyfooting 2) stand up together for press freedom 3) emphasize impact on local communities 4) tell stories of today’s heroes open.substack.com/pub/margaret...

In Germany, new polls showed AfD support dropping because Vance had tainted them with the stink of his own political toxicity. Imagine being so unpopular that you actually make Nazis less appealing. The snake is eating it's own tail...

"The Battle Hymn of the Republic, Updated for 2025" by the Ghost of Mark Twain 1/ I have seen the gilded tyrant place his scepter on the sand, While the hungry toil in shadow at the bidding of his hand; He hath crowned himself with plunder, and declares his reign is grand— His fraud is marching on.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

WTF is going on? Are they actively trying to destroy the legal profession? @markelias.bsky.social

Ever wondered why some Chinese dragons look trapped, eternally coiling around pillars? Meet the Pan Long (蟠龍) - the rebel dragons who never made it to heaven. Ancient texts describe them as massive creatures, four zhang long (about 40 feet!), with venomous powers that could kill 1/2 #mythology
